"Darth Vader Strikes Back"

There's going to be an extra scene included in the DVD release
of EMPIRE STRIKES BACK coming up next year! Basically, it
expands on the scene where Vader reveals his fatherhood to
Luke, and ties up some loose ends created with the release of
Episode 1 & 2...

The Empire Strikes Back: Extra-Special Edition

INT: BESPIN GANTRY - MOMENTS LATER:

A furious lightsaber duel is underway. DARTH VADER is backing
LUKE SKYWALKER towards the end of the gantry. A quick move by
Vader, chops off Luke's hand! It goes spinning off into the
ventilation shaft. Luke backs away. He looks around, but
realizes there's nowhere to go but straight down.

Darth Vader: Obi Wan never told you what happened to your
father.

Luke: He told me enough! He told me you killed him!

Darth Vader: No... I am your father!

Luke: No, it's not true! It's impossible.

Darth Vader: Search your feelings... you know it to be true.

Luke: NO!

Darth Vader: Yes, it is true, and you know what else? You
know that brass droid of yours?

Luke: Threepio?

Darth Vader: Yes... Threepio... I built him... when I was
7 years old...

Luke: No...!

Darth Vader: Seven years old! And what have you done? Look at
yourself, no hand, no job, and couldn't even levitate your
own ship out of the swamp.

Luke: I destroyed your precious Death Star!

Darth Vader: When you were 20! When I was 10, I single-
handedly destroyed a Trade Federation Droid Control ship!

Luke: Well, it's not my fault...

Darth Vader: Oh, here we go... "Poor me... my father never
gave me what I wanted for my birthday... boo hoo, my daddy's
the Dark Lord of the Sith...waahhh wahhh!"

Luke: Shut up...

Darth Vader: You're a slacker! By the time I was your age, I
had exterminated the Jedi knights!

Luke: I used to race my T-16 through Beggar's Canyon.

Darth Vader: Oh, for the love of the Emperor... 10 years old,
winner of the Boonta Eve Open... Only human to ever fly a Pod
Racer... right here, baby!

{Luke looks down the shaft. Takes a step towards it.}

Darth Vader: I was wrong... You're not my kid... I don't know
whose son you are, but you sure ain't mine...

{Luke takes a step off the platform, hesitates, then plunges
down the shaft.}

{Darth Vader looks after him.}

Darth Vader: Get a haircut!

That was Great!

Ya, I read that too... somewhere :rolleyes:
You forgotten some additonal dialogue...

{Luke takes a step off the platform, hesitates, then plunges
down the shaft.}

{Darth Vader looks after him.}

Darth Vader: Get a haircut!

Pauses... then:

Darth Vader (shouting loudly) ... get a job too, and quit hanging around those smugglers!

Turns and faces the gantry way...

Darth Vader (grumbling to himself): Jedi "wanna-bees" kids today... I tell ya! Not enough discipline to fill a space freighter!

Walks off screen

Also a line of dialogue cut from "A New Hope"

Deleted scene from "Revenge of The Sith"

Mace Windu is confronting a Sith Spy, with him is Kitt Fisto they are questioning the spy. After a few moments of dialogue the scene picks up here.

SITH SPY
(to Mace)
Look, what's your name? I got his
name's Kitt, but what's yours?

MACE
My name's Pitt, and you ain't
talkin' your butt outta this crap.

SITH SPY
Look, I just want you to know how sorry
we are about how ****ed up things
got between us and Darth Vader.
When we entered into this thing, we
only had the best intentions --

As the Spy talks, MACE takes out his Lightsaber and slices another spy three times in the chest, cutting him to pieces. Cooly he deactivates the saber and clips it back on his belt.

Kitt smiles to himself. Mace has got style.

The Sith Spy has just crapped his pants. He's not crying or whimpering, but he's so full of fear, it's as if his body is imploding.

MACE
(to Sith Spy)
Oh, I'm sorry. Did I break your
concentration? Please, continue. I believe
you were saying something about
"best intentions."

The Spy can't say a word.

MACE
Oh, you were finished then
Well, allow me to retort.
What does Darth Vader look like?

SITH SPY
What?

Mace SNAPS, SAVAGELY TIPPING the table over, removing
the only barrier between himself and the spy. The Sith Spy now sits in
a lone chair before Mace like a political prisoner in front
of an interrogator.

MACE
What Planet you from!

SPY
(petrified)
What?

MACE
"What" ain't no Planet I ever heard of! Do
they speak Standard on "What?"

SPY
(near heart attack)
What?

MACE
Standard motherf===r- do-you-speak-
it?

SPY
Yes.

MACE
Then you know what I'm
sayin'! Describe what Darth Vader looks like!

SPY
(out of fear)
What?

Mace takes his lightsaber and re-ignites it!

MACE
(shouting loudly, angrily)
Say "What" again! Say
"What" again! I dare ya, I double
dare ya motherf===r, say "What"
one more go===mn time!

The Spy is regressing on the spot.

SPY
...he's...black --

MACE
-- go on!

SPY
he's...he's...bald--

MACE
-- does he look like a *****?!

SPY
(without thinking)
What?

Mace rolls his eyes and cuts the spy's arm off at the shoulder.

The spy SCREAMS, breaking into a SHAKING/TREMBLING SPASM in the
chair.

MACE
(louder, articulating each word)
Does-he-look-like-a-*****?!

SPY
(in agony)
No.

MACE
Then why did you try to screw 'im
like a *****?!

SPY
(in spasm, pleading)
I didn't. I didn't

Counter-arguing and over-riding the Spy's pleading
MACE
Yes ya did. Yes you did Sith! Ya tried ta screw
'im. And Darth Vader don't like being screwed by
by anybody except the Emperor!

-----------
Of course by then Lucas realized that this was too close to a scene done earlier by actor Samuel L. Jackson and omitted it because it wasn't keeping with the character... but Lucas kept it because it was sooo cool. The clip leaked out just prior to the film's release.
Jackson was quoted as saying: "Man, it felt good to do that scene again!"
