*The "Jedi Temple Guard" with their yellow double-bladed lightsabers only existed in the Filoni Clone Wars show - about 5 years or so AFTER **_Revenge Of The Sith_** was released.*
*Those guards didn't exist during the time of filming - so if Cin Drallig's scenes were 100% restored in the movie, there still wouldn't be any "Jedi Temple Guards" and we wouldn't see Anakin fighting any.*
Cin was nowhere near Mace Windu respectfully. Dralling was good,but none of the other Jedi were in the same galaxy with Mace and Yoda
@@kwametodd6094 aside from Mace, Yoda, and Anakin, name a better duelist left in the Jedi Order
@@StarWarsAnalyst How do I enter for the giveaway?
@@StarWarsAnalystI mean... Obi Wan for starters lol 😂 he was trained by Quigon who was trained by Dooku and both were fantastic duelists respectively.
Even if the movie ended up being 6 hours long I would have loved every minute of it.
Need a Snyder's cut of Episode 3
Me too
I think that's the real issue here - there was so much that Lucas had to cram into Ep III that he ended up having to cut a lot.
We need Nick Gillard to upload the full choreography of the fight on his TH-cam channel
@@pcmasterracetechgod5660 YES PLEASE!
Revenge of the Sith needs a 4 hour director's cut.
Yes!
It does. The last half of the movie as always felt rushed.
I agree
It really did.
As long as they give us a longer mustafar fight lol
It is quite literally one of the biggest blunders in modern film making history. That George Lucas didn't give us a proper 3-5 minute action/battle sequence in the Jedi Temple.
It was the moment everyone was waiting for… Newly anointed Darth Vader, obliterating even the most powerful of Jedi.
Would it have ruined the pacing of order 66? The weight and tragedy of that scene was perfect
We never really had a moment in the prequels where Anakin got to be more powerful than his peers. All Star Wars media since then has bent over backwards to show why Anakin was so special and Vader was so feared, but in the movies we only saw him strike down unarmed opponents. Making short work of a room full of armed Jedi, including a hypercompetent duelist, would have not only been shocking but established Vader as a threat.
@@lordskywalker7825get over yourself
Might have detracted from the Obi-Wan duel. Not really that interesting watching Jedi you don't know or have attachment to get killed. If you want to talk about "filmmaking" then just chopping through fodder isn't what film is about. Could have also been about age rating because they were probably on the limit with choking Padme and Vader burning.
Wonder how Hayden could just learn all this choreography. "Oh, you just want 2 filmed hours of swordplay? It's cool. I got you. "
Where is the original footage from this clip?
He seems like a pretty cool guy. He is a great actor that learns his role and perfects it.
Hayden was very adept physically. Having played hockey and taken dance lessons, he was the perfect saber combatant
How could any actor with a saber in Star Wars not want to just play with them all day? Let alone the guy who got the honor of playing The Chosen One
He probably trained way more than that without the others too. When you have a passion for something, you don't even keep track of the time
@@MichaelHolmgaardthat’s actually crazy how perfectly that worked out
Would be so great if they decide to make a "director's cut" edition of episode 3 with all these deleted scenes and fights for the 20th anniversary celebration of revenge of the sith next year, that would be truly amazing to see.
The version we have is the director's cut. Aside from some basic constraints of time and budget, Lucas made the movie he wanted to make and released it in the form he wanted it to be in.
While I wouldn't object to getting extended editions, because I think they'd be fun, I think it's worth remembering that the stuff that was cut was cut for good reasons. A fun exciting duel would completely destroy the mood of the Jedi Temple destruction scene.
given its the director (lucas) that cut most of the good battle sequence, i want a "un-director's cut" :)
@@Salsmachevnot necessarily, the entire duel could be tense, bro is facing down the Chosen One and watching all his friends die next to him
@@SonTaicario You could certainly do brief shots in montage showing Cin Darlig getting killed, sort of like the brief scene we get of Ki Adi Mundi trying to fight off the clones, but an actual extended fight scene would necessarily end up being too high-energy and exciting.
I love the battle of the heroes fight. I think they did a great job of making it raw, emotional, and tense. It's not just a lightsaber duel. But at the end of the day I also watch it and say "woo lightsaber go brrr". That's the last thing you want people thinking when Anakin is betraying and massacring the Jedi.
Look at what happened recently with the ATLA live action series. The Air Nomad genocide, which was super impactful in the cartoon, despite not being shown, was reduced to nothing more than a flashy action scene in the adaptation. Anytime you have people saying "wow that genocide scene was cool!" you've fucked up.
It wont happen while Lucas is alive, i guarantee it. Lucas is still butt hurt about how the fans rejected the prequals even now, the contempt towards the prequals may has lessened somewhat in recent years, but in the end there still seen as "noble failures" by the majority of the real fans who supported and genuinely loved Star Wars all these years, not the "NPC" bots who are the only real fans of the debacle that is "disneywars"
Obi-wan fighting four super magnaguards and Grievous foreshadowing and paralleling Anakin's fight against four temple guards and Cin Drallig would have been effing badass.
Temple Guards weren't invented back then. So it would've just been Anakin fighting CinDarllig and his students
@@cloudmaster182 In the Rots novel the 1st jedi Vader kills is Jedi master Jurrok who was the Jedi Gate Master which was part of the jedi temple security. So they had some kind of guards.
@demonsdlood yea but the temple guards as we know them didn't exist. It seems like that guy in charge if the gate was pretty much the only security the temple had
"Anakin fell to the dark side"
"Excellent. He should now be doing dark side stuff."
"Wel, he did stab a teenager in the throat."
"Hmmm no, no-no. That's too dark."
😂😂😂😂😂
"Hmmm no, no-no. That's too dark. Instead let's show him go into a room full of children and then we imply that he's going to kill them all."
@@samuelelliott8453 "Only imply, right?.... Right?"
😂😂😂
Have you seen Ep. 5 of The Acolyte? Very good fight scenes, and some pretty dark stuff.
That’s such devotion and makes me smile that they went and made a longer duel in his garage😂 I love Hayden
Killing a room full of younglings: ✓
Fighting one of the strongest jedi in history and his absolutely cracked students to demonstrate why vader was the chosen one: naw I'd fumble
first time a yellow lightsaber was in star wars!
@@-jank-willson The first appearance of a yellow lightsaber was in a 90s comic
@@TheWarriorsFromHellPretty sure the movie takes precedent over the novel
@@TheWarriorsFromHell I love reading, but the movie is literally the creator’s actual work and the novel is based around the creator’s work.
@@TheWarriorsFromHell I am eternal
Out of all the movie footage in the world that could have been lost, we potentially lost this. Are you f-ing kidding me?! The amount of epic Star Wars that there is not in the movies is ridiculous. Even if it's not canon, I still want to see all of it, raw footage and complete rendering.
Nick Gillard, please please please give us all the footage you got.
Well it is canon as a split second of it is shown via hologram. We just don't get to see it
I wish this scene could be released someday. Would you like to see this scene. I just hope it comes out someday.
Fun fact: Jedi padawan who was killed by Anakin (Whie Malreaux) met Anakin before in the novel Yoda: Dark Rendezvous. When they met for the first time Whie said to Anakin: "I'm so glad you're not coming to kill me!".
Cruel Irony
Vicious
Whie seen his death by Anakin in a vision.
Ironic huh
1:35 You must remember that the Jedi temple guards weren’t even a thing until The Clone Wars show but I get what you mean
This is why the prequels were very vanilla on multiple fronts. Could've had a much much deeper story with all 3 films being the clone wars.
Lucas told a very simple story. Everything people today like about the prequals was added in later by the Clone Wars cartoon or comic books. This is why the prequals were so hated when they came out.
@@ChiefDJS Lucas lost his ability to tell epic tales. His concept of the Clone Wars and Anakin's fall to the dark side was a far better product when he was finishing Return of the Jedi. He got vanilla after that. Made some terrible business decisions on top of that. That's why Star Wars is in the terrible state it's in currently.
@@paulharmon8947 I mean the story Lucas was going for was too complicated for a movie trilogy. So that's why the Clone Wars TV show is better because it fleshes out the charaters and plot better over longer periods of time. Lucas making the prequal trilogy is like Kishimoto making Naruto a three movie trilogy.
@@SamuelTatarian-tr1gi that's why it's vanilla
@@ChiefDJSNah, I straight up like the movies in and of themselves
When did every Star Wars TH-camr become a lightsaber manufacturer?
I feel like this video just to advertise that he makes lightsabers
respect the hustle.
@Xingularity respect but at this point it's like who is making a good product and who is just making cheap copies cause they saw another channel doing it?
Like really, everyone thought to only make sabers and nothing else at the same time? Just feels like a Prime ad at that point
Pretty sure they're mostly LGT sabers with customizations that are unique to each manufacturer. For example, some companies want to make sabers that are better for dueling.
Why complain about that???
I love the making of the video game documentary. Hayden and Nick did some choreography for the animators. Hayden showed them how he did his favorite moves, and he told them what he wanted his idle animation to be. So when you play the game, it's not motion capture, but that's Hayden Christensen.
The best scenes are taken out of the best movies, and yet monstrosities like the acolyte and so are allowed to be put on!?!
@@brucelee4357you forget that they're Star Wars fans. They don't care about context
@@brucelee4357What does it matter if they’re from different eras and directors. What does any of that actually have to do with his actual grievance.
@@MisterPeckingOrder
It has everything to do with his actual grievance, so how exactly are his grievances not being met with reasonable answers? Or can you come up with a better set of reasons to rectify the issue beside the two reasons that were already given as answers?
You can't interject and creep into someone's offer when they give two good answers and not have anything better to offer as answers to his grievances. Otherwise you are saying nothing at all. We don't hear you. We don't know what you're trying to say. What do you mean by what you say? The facts are that there are real chronological differences within the Star Wars universe that do in fact affect the perception we have of Star Wars and therefore have a greater affect down the line of the product we get from books to prequels, new spinoffs and new series. So how are two different eras taking place in two totally different time periods not significant? can you answer that for us? Can you come up with a better answer than what was given that can help it along? Even if its speculative, you can at least entertain the idea instead of not offering anything constructive with your own critique and ideas. What would you have done differently if you were directing the movies but had limits to the screen time and a limited budget? There is also the fact that both film series have different directors with different ideas, and different ideologies between Star Wars the Acolyte and Star Wars I, II, and III. How does this answer not address the issue? Or what makes the answer not capable of reasonably addressing his concerns? I don't mean to bust your marbles here but come on, toss some tinder into the bonfire instead of complaining and whining about what goes in I'm sure you got something to say!
@@MANAOX To all of this all I have to say is, I don’t care.
Why do people hate the acolyte? It seems that show IS what everyone wines about wanting to see. It's like the tales of the empire...I'd kinda to see how they got inquisitors. Also I'd like to see the grand inquisitor helping aniken while he's becoming a cearl killer.
As someone who's been in live productions requiring choreography of many kinds, I can honestly say that Hayden's lightsaber skills are mind-blowing.
hey man, i do not really mind that you used of video of mine at 00:27 for this but i could have gotten a heads up or a small credit in the corner when you show the clip or something....
Jeez I'm so sorry to hear that; I just another yotuber say the exact same thing. You guys should report him so you can get credit
You created that CGI?
Is he about to go blow up the Death Star?
That's part of the deleted scene. After he defeats Cin Dralig, Vader takes Dralig's personal starship, flies to Yavin, passes the X-Wings on the way, does loop de loops around them while yelling "it's Vaderin' time!" Then he blows up both Death Stars without firing a shot.
They need to re-release the video game on the current video game systems
Hopefully it’ll get a re-release/remaster for the 20th anniversary, next year.
In the meantime, if you have a good enough PC.. You can play it upscaled and (kind of remastered) on the PCSX2 Emulator. It is also backwards compatible on XBOX One Series X or whatever that console’s called.
It is still on the ps3 playstation store, which is still up
Was it good like force unleashed?
@@cm-pr2ys I think it's better. You follow the story in episode 3 plus extra. And there's a lightsaber fighting mode, every character has their style of fighting. It's a great game
Dude I’ve been waiting for it, the duel mode is amazing and I still pull out my PS3 to play it. Feels like every Star Wars game but that one has come to PS5 lol
We NEED the full cut of this movie
This scene should’ve been fleshed our way more to show the depths that Anakin sunk to in abandoning the Light.
Wish we could get a special edition
What makes this even more terrifying is that Drallig is not a blademaster, he wields a green lightsaber which makes him focus on the force rather than physical combat but able to duel Anakin like this even while not being a blade master and being the master of the Jedi Templars, Drallig was an actual beast
I thought he had a yellow lightsaber as he was head of the temple guards?
GL has a bad habit of leaving the best parts out
Bro I can’t believe I even still got this Star Wars game that I never played , ive been overlooking a pure gold mine after ALL this time man 😭🙏
1:44 man this is my video, thanks for the credits xd
True!
The movie’s game was actually really good with its story telling.
Just imagine how tired he would have been by the time he fought obi
You don't know the power of the dark side.
Your lack of faith disturbs me
Why have I never thought of that.
It’d have made the fight more fair since obi had been through a similar fight recently with Grievous. It’d have also helped show how much of an emotional wreck Anakin was by the time he fought obi.
I mean the fight did still technically happen, it just happened off screen. Safe to assume it still wasn’t simple considering the footage looks like a fairly contested bout.
already my favorite star wars movie but man it could’ve been so much more.
Thank you for editing his saber to be yellow. Idk why George Lucas would deny Nick Gillard that, but grant Samuel L Jackson's request for a purple one. It wasn't like he was just some random actor playing a random jedi. Nick Gillard was the choreographer for all the Prequels' fights and played the Jedi Battlemaster. Homie got snubbed, and they thought giving the Temple Guard yellow sabers would fix it. It just made us want him to have a yellow lightsaber even more since he leads the guard.
he wasn't in the final movie, so how would we know what his lightsaber color could have been? Maybe it was yellow
@@-jank-willsonwell actually he was. He's one of the holocron recordings yoda and obi wan watch in the archives.
@@fromryuk7785 but the holocron is blue and white only, so we can't tell the true color of his saber
0:19 You can always spot Disney TV-era lightsabers right away because there is so little white light in the core of the blade.
We need an extended edition
I think its funny he said how its too dark, man did a complete genocide of an entire religion, wiping out hundreds of jedi including children and said it was too dark? like tf. Have you seen star wars?
instead we got anakin beating up on some younglings
dude, the temple guards didn't exist when ep 3 was being filmed, there were security forces as seen in SWBF2 2005s campaign but thats about it. With Cin Drallig being head of Temple Security.
1:00 jesus Hayden's hip mobility
Nick Gillard is Cin Drallig O:
0.33 Always thought this was so lame. Like they were rehearsing the moves on the first go, and Lucas just used that footage in the final film.
If a jedi knight can slaughter even your most skilled masters blade to blade he should of been a master
yup thats the whole reason anakin turned to the dark side...
Palpatine was dead right about Anakin all along
Not necessarily. Being a master is more a matter of leadership and dedicated loyalty than about anything else. You don’t make your best sniper your commander in chief just because he hits his mark every time.
@@-jank-willsonHe turned because he was terrified for his young wife and his unborn childrens lives and the Jedi told him “The hell if I care”. Otherwise he would have been perfectly fine with letting them take Sidious away.
@MisterPeckingOrder if he survived decades of extremely violent engagement and Is the best, then he should of been considered for a high rank frankly the grand Master who is older should of been defending the temple not a younger man who enjoys battle
Getting stabbed in the throat by Anakin as a Padawan is CRAZY.
An example of not utilizing the PG13 rating for the fullest
“Too dark” enough with that sht it’s the whole point !
Lucas since 1977:
"Find the best scenes and cut them as they are too dark even though they were filmed anyway!"
Call back Nick Gillard for the next saga.
I'd forgotten all about this. I now remember playing the game and this being the hardest level by far.
The temple guards were not invented back in 2005 lol
Ugh, I wish we could see this. I want the 6 hour directors cut of ROTS with everything. Hopefully, some fan makes a CGI version in unreal engine 5 or something.
That certainly explains why Cin and his Padawans are such a big deal in both the PS2/Xbox game and the GBA/DS game. The handheld one just has one of the Padawans be a generic green-saber dude who actually escapes, but the console game made a whole character called Serra Keto who has double greens. She doesn't make it out of that one, though. BUT you can use both her and Cin in the Versus mode when you beat them for some revenge! Or even sic her on grown up Darth Vader while you're at it.
Episode III is wonderful but we really could've had less Grevious and more Order 66
The fact that the actual revenge of the sith is given about 10 minutes of screen time in the movie named The Revenge Of The Sith is insane. Anakin kills younglings, cuts off Dooku’s hands and then beheads him, slaughters political leaders and then gets burned alive all on screen but this is too dark?
Deleted duel wasn't going to be like the game which wasn't canon even back then. It would have been Anakin vs Cin and his two students indoors.
He butchers one immediately then manhandles the other shortly after. Cin holds his own briefly before being cut down. The youngling deaths is a reason it's probably coined as being too dark.
ROTS was amazing as is, but it would’ve been much better if it were a two part movie. Out of everything that I know of that got cut, the most unfortunate part is what is mentioned in this video. In the Final Cut, we see next to nothing that took place in the Jedi Temple. Nick Gillard (or Cin Drallig) deserved some screen time, considering how he practically single handily made the lightsaber duels so cool.
My mom actually talked to Nic Gillard once, helping him get credit for something she read about. I don’t remember many details, but someone mentioned something that Nick created without crediting him, which is a big no-no.
As this video shows, many great things were sadly removed from the Final Cut, leaving us fans with many unanswered questions. I heard that the original script for ROTS was about 4 and a 1/2 hours long, but they cut this literally in half.
They should give Star Wars to me. I can turn the ship around in under a month.
Aww, if only you were a somebody!
@@RoBot9491 if only I didn't have to kiss someone's ass just to get there.
Never say never anything is possible so don't give up hope
Would have been amazing to get an extended cut of these movies with scenes like these. Just like LOTR did, the LOTR extended cuts actually showed that there were scenes they should have left in the cinematic cut.
Remember guys, this channel is the reason why Nick Gillard stopped uploading bts footage
Would've been very cool to have seen more of this. His lightsaber wasn't yellow tho. Also, temple guards weren't in the lore yet when ROTS released. They were a CG Clone Wars addition years later.
“Based on behind-the-scenes materials, his lightsaber blade was originally to be rotoscoped in yellow. However, George Lucas would only allow either blue or green as the color of any regular Jedi's lightsaber blade, with the exception of Samuel L. Jackson's violet lightsaber blade he used as Mace Windu. Lucas would go no further with other colors, so Gillard chose green. However, a promotional image (appearing on Cin Drallig's Legends page) shows him with a blue lightsaber.”

@@StarWarsAnalyst Well dang, that's cool. I stand corrected.
Somebody start a goddamn petition. Lets make it happen.
Clickbait. Note to self. Never watch another Star Wars Analyst video again. There's no new information, claims there's deleted footage for views, there's no footage, here. Just a dude bullshitting for views.
God this is why i love the prequels they were crazy. They just had their nuts cut off like a doberman but were still pretty good. Imo
Revenge of the Sith is still my favorite movie after all these years and it's still shocking me to see how MUCH better the movie couldve been with some of the deleted scenes
Can we hire a bunch of animators to recreate every scene - and I mean *every* scene - that was ever cut and do an entire animated remake of the prequals using those scenes?
The footage is not really lost. Nick Gillard has it along with a lot of other stuff. Maybe we will see something in the future.
I hate that Anakin was supposed to be the most powerful ever and yet they always shied away from displaying him as such, showing him cutting loose and effortlessly wiping the floor with multiple masters simultaneously in the temple was just what we needed to see.
Seeing a fan edit cameo scene with who would become The Grand Inquisitor when he was still a Temple Guard would be nice to see too.
“There’s one lesson you’ve yet to learn: how to become one with the Force.”
“I’m no longer the learner! *(ignites blade)* It’s your turn now!”
-Cin Drallig & Vader, ROTS game
Was there even a design for the Temple Guards at that time?
This movie was already dark. This deleted sequence would have fit right in.
Look how long it took them to release that extended scene of one of the imperial officers calling Darth Vader “Dark Lord of the Sith” in A New Hope, literally decades
I always figured the Cin Drallig part was a game level, not something that was actually shot for Episode 3, would have loved that!
I would love to have seen during this how Anakin slowly, but surely began embracing the dark side during the Siege of the Temple. At some point, he gets pushed to his limit by Cin Drallig, but this is where he reveals his "Sith eyes" for the first time to truly show that he has become a Sith and it's here he gains the upper hand on Cin Drallig then.
We studied those movies so hard that were all skilled saberist. Lol. Nobody wants a fight with us with any such weapon. Lol.
The Samurai Warriours: They Loose it. Not Deleted, They Had Loosed It. End Signature: Felix Johnson The Samurai Warriours
They had a duel with the actual action choreographer and decided to cut that out?? What the heck were they thinking??
A 6 hour version of Episode 3?
Shut up and take my money.
The Prequels need an extended cut treatment like LOTR
Star Wars will forever be "A kinda was, but what could have been" series.
We can clearly see with the people that work on the comics that Star Wars can and did have an amazing story past the prequels. But it was sold off to the highest bidder, who never had a passion for the series
The cinematic universe fumbled so badly, it was just handed over to the wrong people. The same greedy pigs who have ruined so much in the world of entertainment
all the bad Star Wars coming out of Disney has made the prequel movies 10/10.
The Prequel movies NEVER needed validating by Disney’s crap and I’ll die on that hill saying that. But I’m pleased to see that more people are now appreciating and respecting the Prequels a LOT more. That’s always good to see.
This scene was DEFINITELY needed in the movie. Murdering the younglings was the perfect way to show us how complete his moral corruption was. But defeating the best of the Jedi Masters on screen would have solidified how truly and unfathomably powerful Darth Vader was.
Hopefully Disney can figure this out and make a special episode of this with the Anakyn actor doing exactly what happened in the temple or a short miniseries called "Order 66" or something like that and have this be the last episode or something with a few episodes more of the Jedi who survived or some who couldn't survive. I never thought about it, but now I see potential.
Disney could remedy every mistake by releasing a 4 hour "Revenge of the Sith Super Cut" with all the deleted scenes and recreations of the lost scenes
Every epic movie that gets released should be no less than 3 hours so they don’t have to keep cutting so much content.
No redemption after murdering children
Yup, we totally needed a Qimir style duel where Anakin just mopped the floor with a bunch of powerful Jedi. That was my biggest gripe when I saw it in theaters for the first time. You never really felt like Anakin was that special or OP. They needed more "show, don't tell" regarding Anakin's power
The dude added his own name into the star wars universe backwards and thought we wouldn't notice? well he succeeded. I didn't know for the whole 19 years.
Back then feels like…
George’s vision : 10/10
George’s execution : 4/10
Now it feels like
Disney’s vision : 2/10
Disney’s execution : 8/10
I would pay premium money for a "Directors cut" of the movie with all these scenes. Sadly it will never happen.😢
What we saw in that hologram was Anakin ragdolling Cin and his students with little effort.
I just want to say that whatever they wrote for Anakin/Vader achievment, accomplishment, etc defeating many formidable foes, it only make Obi Wan even more elevated as someone who defeated Anakin/Vader twice, and only be killed b'coz he let Vader kill him
If an extended cut includes an actual fair fight between Anakin and Made Windu people should have some kind of letter Campaign.
This was a fun fight from the movie-based video game.
Imagine what wonders could be achieved if they didn’t try to be family friendly
Anakin got murder on his mind
“Too dark”
Ight imma head out*
Would be so fucking awesome if they re-released the movie in theaters for the 20th anniversary with all the deleted scenes completed and inserted. I wouldn't care if the movie ended up being 4+ hours. I would absolutely buy tickets to see that in theaters.
I always wondered why this was in every game adaptation but never the movie itself.
I know in canon the Grand inquisitor told all the Temple guards they we4e on lunch break before order 66 hut we should've seen anakin fight at least 2 temple guards
the inquisitors weren't created until after the empire was already formed, they were made up of former jedi
@-jank-willson The Grand Inquisitor was the head Temple Guard at the time of Order 66. Palpatine had already gotten to him and turned him, promising him power and access to knowledge in exchange for his service and becoming the Grand Inquisitor. The original comment is 100% correct. Just because the Inquisitors hadn't been formed yet, doesn't mean the beings who became them didn't participate in events prior to their formation.
They didn't cut it because it was dark. They cut it because "it just looks good" is not a valid reason to include a scene like that. Think about it: this would be the first time Cin Drallig appeared, so we would have no knowledge of his character and thus there would be no stakes to the fight. It would only serve to say "look what Anakin can do!" and that was already done. It was a pointless scene.
