R2 D2

I started a new page MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

You worry me....

Is it true that there was a scene cut from TPM where R2 uses rocket boosters after he falls off a landing platform?

I heard that, I have the action figure with the jets (boosters the pack calls them) but I've never opened it so I don't know what they look like.

I think the scene, which is in the novel, has R2 D2 fall off of the floating platform on Coruscant as our heroes are about to depart to return to Naboo.

R2 wheels to cloise to the ensge, falls off and then bobs back up with the jets coming out of his main body.

I guess it was cut because it's such a domb idea in the context of the film as we have never seen a Astromech droid fly.

A cool idea if this was the first film to be seen but not after seen so many astromechs in the OT.

I hope it's included in the DVD along with the scene where Qui-Gon tells Obi-Wan off for getting his lightsabre wet.

I seem to remember seeing pictures of that scene. Qui Gonn is examinging the sabre whilst OB1 and JJB look on.

I don't know in which part of the movie it took place though as we never see Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon coming out of water except when they are in the sub.

It happens when they first get to Naboo I think. OB1 is running through the swamps trying to escape the Trade Fed droids and he hides underwater and then makes a run for it.

The idea being that he couldn't use his water logged saber against the STAPS as Qui Gonn did because it wouldn't work.

Ah....... I forgot about that scene with Obi-Wan underwater. I hope that's on the DVD as well.

Are to should be completly destroyed in ep2 and then ee-built as he was in anh and rotj. What do you think?

He has already been blown up twice. Isn't that enough for the poor little guy? Doing it again would be boring. Maybe it's 3P0's turn.

Ihave heard that the reason they edited the water scene out of TPM was because they needed to be able to get lightsabers wet,hence the fight in rain for Episode II.

That makes sense so it probably won't be on the DVD.

Sorry I don't quite understand. Why did they take the waterfall bit out of TPM just because of the rain fight in Episode 2?

Not the waterfall scene. We are talking about the scene where Obi-Wan emerges from the water on Naboo and his lightsabre won't work because it is wet.

Oh riiiiiiiiight.....I see. Good point.
