Every Single Deleted Frame From Revenge of the Sith With (Mostly) Finished VFX - More in Description

- This is literally every scrap of footage that I could find on the internet. I've restored these shots to the best of my abilities (within reason). Let me know if I've missed anything and/or what you think should've stayed in the film.
I made a mistake in the video. The unknown VFX reel was uploaded by @wicket3695 not wicket 396. The video is titled "Starwars Revenge of the sith Extended and Deleted Vfx shots."
@Pastrybfs suggested using the 35mm scans of the trailers in order to get higher resolution footage. So, I've re-reconstructed those shots and you can find them at the link below.
@fintheclonetrooper5039 was able to find even more extended shots which I have reconstructed and added to the link below

The political scenes should have never been cut, but I think George Lucas didn't want a repeat of Attack of the Clones. The political intrigue is important to the overall story and makes it seem like more people were trying to stop Palpatine beyond just the Jedi.
I agree, but I think it makes the movie so much better. It isolates Anakin and shows how he went to trust Palpatine to a point he barely has a proper critical mindset anymore.
And moreover, making Padmé the initial creator of the rebellion made her character that much more impactful when she didn't do much in the final cut
See, the lack of those scenes is why I've always felt that RoTS was never truly as good as people lauded it as. Don't get me wrong - I love the movie - but I never felt it was THAT much better than Attack of the Clones. Both movies - the whole trilogy actually - suffered from a surplus of excellent ideas that all tied together really well. Sortof the opposite of the Sequel Trilogy's problem (not enough connected threads to feel coherent and planned out).
It makes us understand better how he thinks everyone is turned against him. It’s not just Padmé coming to Mustafar. She is actually part of the plot against the chancellor. The whole point of the prequels is explaining how he became Darth Vader. Explaining how he lost faith in his devoted love for others is crucial in this. These scenes are so important for the overall picture
@@Reeal15 Even if I think it's a country mile better than AotC, I'd say the Rebellion scenes would have really elevated RotS. Lucas apparently thought it distracted from Anakin's story, and well, "fans" complaining about politics in Star Wars as they usually do...
WE CAN'T HAVE POLITICS IN A "SPACE WIZARD" MOVIE! No war has ever been started because of taxation!
Every day we get closer to the 4.5 hour cut of revenge of the Sith, thank you for posting this it’s awesome!
How is this possible? Disney and Kennedy have never expressed any desire to release the 4-hour film.
@@damianzwardon people are remaking deleted scenes, adding a little to the film every time, he wasnt talking about an official release
I look forward to seeing shaak ti die 3 times in the same movie 😂
Release the Lucas Cut! 🫠
A 4.5 hour assembly cut with unfinished VFX, no score, no editing, and no pacing.
It’s funny how almost all of these scenes are legitimately what happens during the runtime, but just didn’t make it to the final cut.
Isn't that the point, all could be cut
Ot Shaak ti being killed by Grievous tough
@@olabolob Most of them really shouldn't have been though. It's a very rushed film, in terms of pacing.
That's my problem with movies, especially live action for that matter. It's such a limiting and restrictive medium. It's why I prefer books, animation shows, comics, and video games over movies. No exception with Star Wars where i prefer the EU over the films.
That’s how editing works. You cut off a few frames here and there to get the pacing and flow of a scene just right. That happens in every movie.
16:10 Geez Palpitine putting the idea that Padme is not being faithful to Anakin is sickening, guys I think this guy might be the sith lord.
This makes the scene on mustafar make even more sense
A Sith Lawrd?
Sith Lord is a step too far. Obviously he is just a concered parental figure
Well everyone knows you gotta watch your woman around Ewan
Why was this scene cut?! I'm not sure where it'd be put in the film but I can't see any sensibile argument around cutting it. As mentioned, this makes the scene on Mustafar make much more sense and completes the tragedy.
Anakin speaking droid is crazy 💀
Fr that’s what i thought too
Never seen that one before this video, I thought I was having a stroke
Glad they cut that to be honest😂
@@MegaBaconMonsternah would’ve been the hardest thing Lucas could’ve done and just never explain it. Or just explains it as because he’s the chosen one
No need to change the beep boops lmfao
I kinda like Dooku not saying, "Just because there are two of you do not assume you have the advantage." He already knows he's the superior duelist, he doesn't need to say that to prove it.
yeap man failed and didnt try again even once for 20 years GREAT!
He knew well, he had that signature look of superiority.
*Look of superiority*
Yet he lost?
Yeah, althou a christopher lee line is always a welcome line, whatever is being said.. In this example, I would even go as far to say that Dooku actually saying that line could be interpreted as him showing insecurities about the fight thats about to happen
I am so glad they cut the bad comedy parts with Obi Wan and Anakin but they definitely should have kept the dialogue about Anakin's thesis on the dichotomy in The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise
Hahaha
I see you’re a man of culture as well.
😂
“How much did the state spend on your education?”
Can someone explain this joke to me😢
"Alright, I still have much to learn"
Than one got me
I like that one 💯
15:40 Scene like that explains why Anakin strangled Padme on mustafar, it’s almost like Palpatine was inside his head from this scene telling him I was right, she did hide something and everything gets misunderstood when Obi Wan showed up on mustafar
Oh wow, I didn’t think of it like that. Scene is indeed much better knowing this
There was also a subplot removed from the script where Palpatine suggests to Anakin that Padme and Obi Wan are secret lovers, hence the line "you will not take her from me!"
I LOVE Palpatine's reaction at 15:12 like he knows the end for the Republic is near. His plan is almost fully complete. He's absolutely tired of pretending to be this nice guy friendly politician and Darth Sidious is starting to come out. This could have easily been left in the movie.
The political scenes would be PERFECT in Revenge of the Sith. They’re in the novelization, as fit right in.
For those wondering why a lot of single frames or small groups of frames were removed, it likely comes down to pacing and lining up what we see on screen with the soundtrack to exacting specifications, that's the kind of thing you might sit in the studio and loop sections for 20 or 30 minutes to line up just perfectly.
Which is one of George’s greatest strengths as a director/editor. The final cut of each film is so finely tuned as a cinemo-sensory experience.
@@TheCapedWandererYeah, what he said! Especially the Cinemo-Sensory experience part.
@@TheCapedWanderer Lucas did not edit. Thank god. A New Hope had to be saved from his edit, it was reviewed very poorly because of George's cut. Luckily his wife re-edited the film and it was well received.
@@KaiJustiss None of that is remotely true and thankfully you’re on the very platform where that urban myth was both spread and debunked. _How “How Star Wars was saved in the edit” was saved in the edit (sort of)_ by Nerdonymous: th-cam.com/video/olqVGz6mOVE/w-d-xo.html
That makes sense. You just wish they didn't have to and that it all lines up perfectly to begin with.
That deleted Dooku line has messed with my head. I played the game so much that I thought I was being hit with a Mandela Effect every time I watched the movie!
Anakin casually beeping like R2 💀💀
The scene with the senators is actually so cool because it foreshadows the rebellion!
12:59 "including family. No one can be told"
I know this is supposed to be setup for a later deleted scene including Anakin and Padme's relationship but it's also great setup for Andor with Mon and Perrin
That scene has nothing to do with Andor.
@@RichardHunslet1963 it’s almost like I said I knew it was setup for a different deleted scene and that it’s just a happy little coincidence that it foreshadowed Andor
Imagine a world where Padme is one of the founders of what eventually becomes the rebel alliance. Imagine a world where instead of Mon Mothma in return of the Jedi, we had Padme. Her and Vader on opposite sides of the conflict. That would be incredible. The story would only become even more deep and dramatic.
Damn, your right
That sounds like a star wars trilogy I'd love to see
I love the idea that Anakin and Obi-Wan have this secret sign language
At 6:06 Anakin on the Invisible Hand walking around cloaked is actually meant for another scene when he is walking through the jedi temple after he stabs Shaak Ti in her other alternate death scene and you can see clones killing jedi in front of him as he walks through the jedi temple etc. It's super rough but it would be awesome if it got finished somehow
I wish someone skilled with VFX could finish all the half-done CGI
It would take a lot of time if you do it on your own. I think you need a whole VFX team to finish these scenes
@@Julian-cm4wmyes and no. Computers are a ton more powerful nowadays allowing individual CG artists to create on a scope far greater than what was possible back then. Tools are more streamlined, render times are shortened giving them more time to focus on the art itself, etc.
It’s totally possible, but there wouldn’t be any money to it, you’d just have to find someone passionate enough to do it.
A 64 core dual socket threadripper and a couple 4090s probably out pace the tender performance of the entire render farm used to make some of the scenes.
You gotta remember this was in development over 20 years ago. Computers are quite literally thousands of times more powerful by now.
The lighting was not nearly as complex, they were rendering at MOST in like 720p-1080p and the textures/movement of the models was not nearly as advanced as today.
for example the scene where ki adi mundi and plo koon take a squad of jedi to shut down the droids at the geonosis arena fight
Ya some of those animatics show cool scenes like the extended Grievous fight
Ian McDiarmid is such a great actor. Emotions and tensions he creates are top notch.
The delegation of 2000 scenes are quite good
Yoda arriving on Dagobah should have stayed in the movie.
Why? We don’t need to be spoon fed every little detail.
i kinda like more content idk lol@@kitgusto2390
@@kitgusto2390no, but it’s cool to see
No. The end of the film is a silent visual montage of the Skywalker family. Yoda has no place in the finale sequence.
Yes. His landing looked like invasion of the body snatchers.
5:10 thats where we got the iconic sound from for Battlefront 2
"Extended padme hugging"
god i wish that was me
This made me realize; The whole prequel trilogy really would have benefitted better as a live action TV show. Imagine how much better and more in depth these movies could have been.
Just imagine The Clone Wars show, but live action, leading to the finale of Revenge Of The Sith, and the duel on Mustafar is the final episode.
I guess. It would lose the main point on Anakin and the depiction of a fallen hope. The Jedi’s new hope was on him like Leia in Obi, only that one held onto his emotions and the other didn’t.
I agree that I’d love a longer version of these but the world is so massive we’d forget about Anakin.
No. Not live action. This would mean so much more ugly CGI standing out. They should remake the movies in Clone wars style instead. Including the writing and directing of the show.
It would've looked ass with the tech they had and CGI was expensive back then for a TV show.
The popularity of high-fidelity, high-budget miniseries is a relatively recent thing. (And even then, today's crunch culture made sure the "fidelity" isn't always part of the equation)
Back in the 2000s, 22-episode seasons were the norm, the format of TV series was NOT on the same caliber as full feature films. If you wanted to make the prequels into a TV show instead of a trilogy, you either had to make it look bad or quintuple the budget to make it barely equivalent to a movie.
Nah I’m good I like the live action movies the way they are the animated shows fill in the gaps nicely because they can do more like different aliens or cooler Jedi moves. VFX in live action is really difficult and expensive
I feel like after all of this, Yoda would have some choice words for Qui-Gon Jinn.
“In accordance to your dying breath, trained Anakin we did. For his benefit, bent Jedi tradition multiple times we did. Now exterminated to the last child the Jedi are. HAPPY NOW, ARE YOU?!”
I can see why some of these were cut 😂
Seriously some of the dialogue is horrendous 💀
@@deathtoaster449 That was a bad...... - Mistake.
The hand signals are so funny
@@loganpraz2566and incredibly fitting
@@diekrassekresse852 "roja" "rrrrrrrrahger"
I feel like Yoda going to Dagobah could perfectly be a post credits scene.
Nah
Incredible work compiling and combing through all the deleted scenes and frames AND recosntrcting the shots with the original! Makes it so much easier to slot into a fanedit.
The 4-5 hour RoTS cut shall be ours, wether Disney likes it or not... soon enough.
Really you know someone who can finish all of those unfinished VFX shots?
@@SoulbentAnimeyeah my buddy Deez
@@GrandmasterDinnerRoll you're wasting space on the internet
@@SoulbentAnime not as much as yo momma is
@@GrandmasterDinnerRoll no you're definitely wasting more space than she is
Hayden waded through water with long hair. Damp, clingy, itchy, long hair.
AND THEY JUST CUT IT.
The extended Anakin and Palpatine scene where he is appointed as the representative is so good. I much prefer this version of the 'Plot to Destroy the Jedi?' scene as well. Having Obi-Wan there as the grounded one gives the decision to arrest the Chancellor a gravity that the Ki-Adi-Mundi version doesn't have in my opinion. It's also so surreal seeing scenes from the book in live-action with all of the actors and effects, the previously mentioned scene being a good example. Love this!
The scenes regarding Padme make Anakin's fall much better.
14:38 that scene should have been included in the official cut, is very well made and adds a lot to the characters involved in that discussion.
Kinda just seemed like Obi wan and Anakin we're having fun in the deleted scenes
Mace Windu is honestly one of the smartest individuals in the Star Wars universe. He makes all of the right assumptions and has the most correct line of thought. The only issue he had was not having the top authority in either the council or politics. Despite this, he was still honorable enough to respect the authority above him and simply voice his concerns instead of demanding others follow him.
Ummmm windu is the leader of the jedi council
@@elboss3389 No, he was not. Grandmaster Yoda is.
12:38 The Rebellion foreshadowing…it’s so good.
I'm obsessed with this
Oh hey wyd here
Saame
Shaak-Ti is one of my favorite SW characters and that death scene is so dark, I’m shocked they took it out. But, I’m glad they did. She deserves a better story than that.
But I will say, the way grevious caresses her head sent chills down my spine. It really made him look like a creep.
I love all the bits where we see Anakin and Obi-Wan just being pals. I think they cut these shots not only to carve down the run-time, but also to increase the sense of urgency in the opening act, but at the same time what's really lost is the sense of friendship and brotherhood that makes Anakin's betrayal so painful.
It’s so disappointing that all of the politics of the movie were cut because out of all 3 of the prequels, this one needed them the most, and George clearly forgot to remove the “heroes on both sides” line from the opening crawl after cutting them 💀
WE CAN'T HAVE POLITICS IN A "SPACE WIZARD" MOVIE! No war has ever been started over taxation!
no war worth talking about has ever started over boring taxation
*_-an AMERICAN_*
11:31 - they discuss the very thing Palpatine is said to have done by Grand Moff Tarkin during the briefing on the Death Star in "A New Hope".
Death Star becoming fully operational caused the Emperor to dissolve the Imperial Senate (which mostly was powerless anyway at that point) and shift any remaining duties of the Senators to the Sector Governors, who answered directly to him.
This is literally every scrap of footage that I could find on the internet. I've restored these shots to the best of my abilities (within reason). Let me know if I've missed anything and/or what you think should've stayed in the film. I probably could've included the DVD menu animations somehow, but I'm not sure if that would count as "deleted footage" since it seems like they made it specifically for the DVD menus.
By the way if you want the source to the footage I was able to find it’s from Dorian Bustamantes website
@@fintheclonetrooper5039 Oh cool! I haven't seen a lot of that footage. I was trying to only include footage that was finished or close to being finished though. Maybe I'll make a video with all of the available animatics too!
@@Porkula cool
I would say the dvd menu have extended shots like shots of mustafar
Well, whatever you're doing, I appreciate it. Thx for all the hard work getting "Revenge" back together.
there's something awfully sexual about how grievous strokes shaak's horns lol wtf
LMAO fr
They have a history of
They have a history
What a delight to see Ian McIarmid in those deleted scenes, you can feel Palpatine underlying delight to conclude his manipulations on Anakin: it’s as he knows he already have won. He doesn’t need to rely on the Rule of Two anymore, he’s ready for it: the Return of the oppression of the Sith
11:26 Coruscant is so beautiful.
Wow
I’m so glad this popped into my recommended. This is awesome.
Anakin: *rubs eyebrow
Obi wan: “Oh, yes alright”
I like how Anakin can speak droid and Obi-wan is have the weirdest day ever after watching Anakin pressurize a door
They should’ve kept Palpatine’s manipulation scene in 8:26
That gave me chills how manipulative he is
We needed more of Anakin and Obi-Wan actually getting along. As is, it seems like Anakin was nearly constantly just a pain in the ass with murderous thoughts.
"Stinking Jedi," Grevious thought long and hard on that one
Should kept that extra Dooku line in. It is bad ass.
Agreed the political scenes being cut was a mistake. George was obviously afraid of boring people, but I think it adds an important depth that isn't present in the final cut. The transition of political events happens too fast in the final cut.
I wish 11:35 scene had been kept... It adds a lot of connection to the OT.
The fact that they moved Vader's arm restraints means he's given CGI arms when he breaks free from the restraints, and there's a bit where his CGI arms obviously merge back into Hayden's real arms. Obviously moving Vader's restraints was done quite late in the editing process.
its cannon that anakin can speak astromech now
That Invisible Hand shot is so darn cool.
this is crazy dedication i love it
2:00 personally I feel like this is the Canon way shak-Ti dies
Either that or Anakin kills her in the temple but I don’t like that she would be meditating while a bunch of younglings are getting slaughtered, so this one is prolly the best
Fought triumphantly until getting captured by grievous
In Lego Star Wars, she is killed by Anakin in the security footage like in the other deleted scene, so that is my head canon.
@@GeorgeSikorski122That's her canon death
Canon says Vader kills her.
We need a fan cut of this movie
There's already quite a lot actually. I'm creating one as well, but it won't be including all of this. I just wanted to gather all of the footage together to prepare for the edit.
That one shot of Anakin at the Invisible Hand actually comes from an unfinished scene where the clones are storming the Jedi temple (That’s why Anakin has his hood on and Obi-Wan can’t be seen)
Yeah they just needed a badass shot of Pre-Suit Vader for the trailer & slapped a random background behind him.
“Proof we need before taking this to the council.”
Says the one who had visions of Palpatine attacking himself and Anakin
"I had a vision" doesn't really count as proof.
?
honestly? they should have kept that stuff in with palpatine and anakin talking. that was splendid
The original duels planned for this movie were incredible compared to what we got
That was honestly so awesome. I would love to see what a fully reconstructed scene of Order 66 would look like.
The removed Palpatine scene with Anakin is pretty good. A shame it didn't make into the final cut.
I love the inclusion of literal single frames, insane analysis, great work to all!
There's even more in the description too. Other people have been finding even more content since I posted this video.
I imagine the lore of that scene of Anakin speaking droid mase the cut. I'm pretty sure and hope that it was an inside joke.
5:11 *FLASHBACK* “My first day as a member of the 501st…
I know we all hated the special editions George Lucas did, but we have to admit it would be very interesting if they redid the prequels with completely updated CGI. I think they would actually be insanely good.
Even the deleted sceens are better than the sequels!
Tne Delete Scene are acording of novelization, a lot of details. Magnificents.
The different hand signals meaning different types of plans was pretty cute
Read the novelization of ROTS. Soooo much more information. These scenes are in the book and it paints such a better picture of why things went so wrong with anakin
16:10 Geez Palpitine putting the idea that Padme is not being faithful to Anakin is sickening, guys I think this guy might be the sith lord.
WHY DID THEY CUT YODA GOING TO DEGOBAASDHKJASHDKJASHDKAJSHDKJGHSGDJKH
It was something worth keeping, even Rick McCallum said so :l
I remember right before episode 3 came out my dad brought home a DVD. It was the directors cut and it had so many alternative shots. One shot would play right after the other. The enitre thing was maybe 5 hours long. I know my dad still has it. I have not watched that version in a long time.
Woah you gotta find it!
As someone who has worked in vfx, I'm going to assume (based on a lot of the uploads from vfx reels) that the edited frames from the front and tail of shots are the "handles", essentially 8 frames either side of the shot so that vfx artists and editos have wiggle room to allow effects to kick in, and in case they want to shuffle the selected shot a few frames either side.
As someone who literally only has experience with VFX in Sony Vegas pro, this is extremely relatable in a very unexpected way
2:21 "I look forward to adding your lightsabers to my collection" bruh you already have it in your hand!!
that’s Shaak Ti’s
@@demon-goatlook closely at the one in his hand when they do the close up shot
This compilation of deleted scenes is cool asf ty for uploading them I really wish the political scenes could have stayed in
Yes
I think that should make an extended edition of episode 3, although clearly they are not even going to do it
they should release an extented cut next year for the 20th anniversary
Ugh I hope so, I'm still waiting on a complete movie cut soundtrack like how they did for episode 1.
I've been looking forward to this.
Oh damn some of the scenes with anakin is really fun
This is very impressive and very well put together!
Classic Shakespearean cinema. Experts should study this movie.
i like the line when palpatine says anakin has been apart of many battles the council thought were lost without him. if that was left in back in the day i wonder if it would feel it had a place.
I had a blast watching this. Thanks for putting this awesome video together
22:57 - 23:06
I remember these lines in The Clone Wars…
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO REMEMBERED THAT IN CW!
23:19 Could have been an after credits scene
Doing post credits scenes before marvel? Blasphemous!
These tiny pieces of footage are cut for a reason. It helps smooth out the pacing for the shot-to-shot editing. Lucas had full creative control and consciously made the decision to cut these scenes because it would lead to a stronger film.
And they mainly did. A lot of it is unnecessary, out of place, or redundant. There’s a level of trust you have to place on your audience that they have the intelligence to piece certain things together on their own without needing exposition for it every single time.
Qui-Gon speaking to Yoda “so hows Anakin’s training going?”😂
I really liked the Mustafar Establishing Shot. It makes the planet feel more lived in and less like a huge facility taken over by a handful of separatists before Anakin shows up.
The music is just second to none
This is a really well done video! Would love to potentially see one for the other Star Wars films! (especially the other 2 prequel films!)
This video's super helpful with the v2 of my Extended Edition that I'm working on, thanks for that!
I appreciate you not going too far to try and match up the quality from cuts. the slight changes help point out the smaller cuts. Especially noticeable from those video game shots. I'd not have appreciated your efforts if it was matched up and color graded.
I'm kind of surprised by the cuts in jedi fighting frames. Very very minor but i felt more impact from most of those scenes. Great video!
They should have kept that Yoda going to Dagobah system
wow, not surprised this scene (1:40) got cut, its both shot and acted awfully.
Glad they cut most of that out at the beginning. I think the beginning of the movie is perfect as it is.
