There’s been quite a bit of talk about Star Wars: The Last Jedi as of late, good and bad. It seems to be dividing comment sections everywhere, which is the case with almost every new release for things with a great deal of fandom.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi SPOILERS AHEAD!
There are still quite a few questions about Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and as more information comes out, fans are eager to get it. Luckily for all of you, director Rian Johnson has revealed some very interesting deleted scenes in an interview with Collider.
The first, he revealed:
“There’s a whole extended sequence where Finn and Rose and DJ sneak through the Mega Destroyer when they’re kind of, after they sneak in with DJ and they’re trying to find the tracker. There’s a whole extended sequence. It’s a full sequence of like stuff with them sneaking through this big office area of the Mega Destroyer and then having to fake out these Stormtroopers.”
The second:
“There’s a couple Finn scenes that—there’s one great Finn/Poe scene that’s kind of a setup scene at the beginning when Poe was kind of bringing Finn up to speed after he comes out of his coma.”
The third:
“And then on the island, there’s a massive sequence that we shot with Daisy and Mark, which is kind of an additional sort of trial/test that she goes through, that involves her and Mark, and then a big emotional scene between the two of them. I mean, it’s big stuff, it’s like actual real scenes.”
Definitely interesting to think of how these scenes would have added to the movie. A lot of fans seemed to be very angry about the film’s ending, which Johnson has also explained in further detail, saying:
“It’s mostly about Luke. To me, it shows that the act Luke Skywalker did, of deciding to take on this mantle of ‘the legend,’ after he had decided the galaxy was better off with, had farther reaching consequences than saving 20 people in a cave.”
He added:
“Now the Legend of Luke Skywalker is spreading. Hope is reignited in the galaxy.”
Strong opinions should be expected for such a popular and iconic franchise like Star Wars, and they don’t seem to be slowing down any time soon.
