Star Wars Deleted Scene (Luke & Biggs)

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Is it just me, or are Luke and Biggs actually lovers? Ripe for a brokeback mash-up. I've heard about this scene, but never run across it. Thanks Ant. Why wasn't this on my DVD box set?

This scene was just seen as too hokey even for Star Wars. They made a big deal about fixing the dialogue to include it in the NPR Radio Broadcast. I highly recommend all Star Wars enthusiasts to get the Radio Plays. Anthony Daniels and Mark Hamill reprise their roles which give it a bit more credit as additions to the canon. In the radio play, they make a big deal of Luke being such an outsider to the other kids that only Biggs is his true friend. I guess you can give it a teenager-older man relationship glaze if you can, but they are supposed to be the same age. I have never seen the actual footage they shot until now, and I must say, I am glad they left it out. It was pretty bad and didnt do much for me. However, it does make you slap your forhead and go "Thats who this Biggs guy is" during the assualt on the Death Start at the end of the film. Again, pick up the radio plays and listen to them. They include lots of scenes that Lucas didnt shoot due to time and budget problems, or in this case, were to bad to include.

I wonder why they didn't try to fix it. This added good exposition and, like ospprod said, it gave insight to who that Biggs guy was. It would have made the big scene at the end even more poignant.

It wasn't THAT bad. I mean, is it any worse than Hamill whining to his Aunt and Uncle in the next scene?
