10 Deleted Star Wars Scenes That Should Have Been Left In
9. The Jedi In Action - Attack Of The Clones
With Attack of the Clones (2002), The Battle of Geonosis served as a spectacular finale to an otherwise lackluster film, starting off with all the Jedi igniting their lightsabers around the stadium. It not only signals the beginning of the Clone Wars, but allows fans to see the Jedi at full force.
But there's just not enough of it. Whilst Anakin (Hayden Christensen), Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor) and Mace Windu (Sam Jackson) all get opportunities to shine, characters such as Plo Koon, Kit Fisto, Ki-Adi Mundi and Luminara Unduli end up falling by the wayside.
In one of Attack's deleted scenes, Jedi Masters Plo Koon and Ki-Adi Mundi can be seen leading a charge against a droid battalion, showing off their skill and allowing audiences to focus on some Force users outside of the usual suspects.
The true tragedy of the scene is that it was never even finished, abandoned in order to cut the film down to a more manageable length. At least we got The Clone Wars, though...
