Star Wars: The Force Awakens – Tunnel Standoff Deleted Scene.
Han Solo, asking the important questions.
I’d like to thank space God and also fruit jesus
“Are you kids with my son? You look like you’re part of that dumb band he joined. What are you called again? The Face Order? The First Odors?”
Oooh i wish this wasn’t deleted not only because it is hilarious as it is, but because in slovak translation it would have a potential to be even more!!
Supreme as in supreme leader is translated to najvyšší. HOWEVER najvyšší also means the tallest.
So we would get han, asking all these important questions.
What is a Smoke? Oh the tallest (supreme) leader? So who is the shortest leader? Is there a grande and venti size? Can you open them in the middle and store inside each other like matrioška doll?
First off, for those of you not familiar with this particularly juicy bit of canon: as Ben was growing up, no one ever told him that Darth Vader is his grandfather. In fact, no one outside of Luke, Leia, and Han (possibly Chewbacca) knew that Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader were one and the same. Ben was 23 when it became public knowledge – seven years before TFA.
Storytelling wise, this is a huge deal that I don’t think gets brought up enough. It means that Ben never knew that it was Luke’s love for his father, and in turn, Anakin’s for Luke, that helped defeat the Empire. He must have grown up thinking of Luke as the “great warrior” who defeated both Vader and the Emperor, a similar presumption apparently held by many real-life people for some reason. At least Ben has an excuse – he hasn’t seen ROTJ.
We don’t know the specifics, but presumably Ben had been fed a similar story to the one Luke grew up on his whole life. Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader were two entirely different people, and Darth Vader was the one responsible for everything going bad, and he was defeated by Luke. Ben learns the truth eventually, and at some point, Snoke has managed to twist the story to frame it as weakness – Vader and Palpatine, the entire Empire fell because of sentiment. Hell, he may have even been able to twist it into telling Ben that Luke became as powerful as he was because he killed his father, but that’s just me speculating wildly.
