3 deleted scenes that would have changed the story of Darth Vader’s creation

General 3 deleted scenes that would have changed the story of Darth Vader’s creation   I think, they see something in you, they fear! Kanzler Palpatine in seinem Büro zu Anakin Skywalker – Star Wars Episode 3 Anakin Skywalker’s switch to the dark side and his transformation into Darth Vader are probably the most decisive key moments in the entire Star Wars epic. The biggest factor is the loss he fears for his beloved, secretly married wife Padmé Amidala. Fuelled by his fears of loss, the young Jedi has recurring nightmares with a clear message: Padmé will die giving birth to their children! Anakin had recently lost his mother and was tormented by constant feelings of guilt that he had not been there enough for her. This time, the young Jedi wanted to do everything right. He did not want to lose his beloved wife, who was expecting his children. Palpatine capitalised on the young Skywalker’s fears of loss and drew him to the dark side of the Force with precisely these fears, subsequently making him his right-hand man. The Emperor was very skilful and cunning in his plan to win Anakin, who had a glorious future ahead of him due to his gifts and talents, to the dark side. He insisted that Anakin would become his bodyguard and from this point onwards he began to exploit Anakin’s fear of loss and subsequently manipulate him to win him over to the dark side. Sheev Palpatine Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? Anakin Skywalker No. Sheev Palpatine I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis… was a Dark Lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians… to create… life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side, he could even keep the ones he cared about… from dying. Anakin Skywalker He could actually… save people from death? Sheev Palpatine The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities… some consider to be unnatural. Anakin Skywalker Wh– What happened to him? Sheev Palpatine He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was… losing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It’s ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself. Anakin Skywalker Is it possible to learn this power? Sheev Palpatine Not from a Jedi.   This dialogue is the foundation that Palpatine laid in the film Star Wars Episode 3 to win Anakin over to the dark side. The original script of the film Star Wars Episode 3 – Revenge of the Sith shows excerpts in which Palpatine, who later proclaims himself Emperor, is said to have manipulated the young Anakin even more perfidiously. This should even have gone so far that Anakin should have killed Padmé in order to gain unrivalled power. But first things first. Let’s take a look at the archive of deleted scenes from Star Wars Episode 3 and discuss together which essential scenes were removed that would have drastically changed the transformation to Darth Vader. . Scene 0 Extended scene: personal assistant The first scene that would have brought about a fundamental change in the transformation of Anakin Skywalker to Darth Vader is an extended scene where Chancellor Palpatine and the young Skywalker are in his office when Chancellor Palpatine says the following to Anakin: Anakin, I’ve known you since you were a small boy. I have advised you over the years when I could … I am very proud of your accomplishments. You have won many battles the Jedi Council thought were lost . . . and you saved my life. I hope you trust me, Anakin. Kanzler Palpatine zu Anakin Skywalker Episode 3 Die Rache der Sith Palpatine took on a so-called father role for Anakin, who had grown up without a father and was proud of his son. By recognising and praising the young Skywalker’s accomplishments, the Chancellor did exactly the opposite of what the Jedi did. The Jedi condemned Anakin’s actions and questioned them again and again. The Chancellor, on the other hand, used this to his advantage and manipulated the young Skywalker by using this aspect to his advantage. Sheev Palpatine It is upsetting to me to see that the Council doesn’t seem to fully appreciate your talents. Don’t you wonder why they won’t make you a Jedi Master? Anakin Skywalker I think my time will come. When I am older and I suppose whiser. Sheev Palpatine Age is not a good measure of ability, Anakin. I think, they see something in you they fear! They see your future. They know your power will be too strong to control. They see you as a thrett. I hope you trust me Anakin. Anakin Skywalker Of cause.   Everything the Chancellor says to Anakin in this conversation is the truth – and Anakin knows it. This makes the easily manipulated Jedi believe that Chancellor Palpatine is the only person the future Darth Vader can trust! . Szene 0 Deleted scene: Playing off against Padmé Amidala The second scene I’ve picked out for you takes place directly after the scene where Anakin Skywalker and his master Obi Wan Kenobi say goodbye, as the Jedi Master Obi Wan goes in search of General Greves. (This scene, by the way, is the last time pupil and master see each other as good friends. In their next encounter on Mustava, the two of them face off as Sith versus Jedi! But now let’s get back to the deleted scene: Palpatine has just arrived back on Mustava when he orders his bodyguards to leave young Skywalker and himself alone so the two can discuss something ‘private’. The Chancellor had actually foreseen that Anakin Skywalker would be sent out to fight General Greeves. The Jedi Council, however, decided
