deleted duel footage
ok im sure that there was a bit were ob1 trys and talks to anakin but anakin keeps hitting him with his saber so does anyone know what duel footage was cut i know that there has to be alot because the duel was ment to go for about 15 mins and it only went for about 5 or 10 mins so yeah thanks
It is indeed a legitimate question, one thats been answered about a hundred times already and the grammar of the question is atrocious.
Look, no one objects to people asking questions, what is objectionable is asking the same damn question repeatedly without even BOTHERING to check and see if it's been asked and or answered before AND by typing in such a way it makes peoples eyes bleed by simply reading it. 😖
Just awnser his question retards..
heres to Gifs images of the fight that was Cut
Both those gifs were fan made from bluescreen footage taken from official sources before ROTS was actually released.
The second shot is definitely still in the movie - Pixel Magic, the fan who added the background did a fine job, but that shot actually occurs when Ani and Obi are on the floating platform in the real movie.
Off the top of my head, I can't remember if the first one is in the movie, I'm pretty sure it is - again, with a different background, not the fan-rendered one.
I don't recall mention of any scene where "Obi talked to Ani as he repeatedly hit him"...
As I understood it, the duel was just trimmed down and intercut with the Yoda duel - I don't think whole chunks of individual set-ups were removed.
*nips back to take a look at the set diaries and Making of book...*

Not really.
It's just all the swearing and thrashing (as certain KMC members are doing too much of late) that makes it it hard to get what it is actually about.
All he wanted to know was if one of the cut Duel scenes included a scene where Obi tried to talk to Anakin while fighting. Which I had never heard of until this thread, and none have managed to prove or disapprove it.
i think there was another deleted bit from the first trailor with them leaping towards each other with volcanic explosions in the background. also, if i'm not mistaken, there were many spy reports of them fighting on conveyor belts and other factory/foundery areas. bottom line, htere's probably a good six minutes of cut stuff.
Nah, the conveyor belt stuff just came from descriptions of the shoot on the floating platforms, which involved Hayden circling Ewan on a track.
There was never any "droid foundry" type scene scripted or shot - Pablo confirmed this in the Q and A.
I've checked all reference material I have available, and I see no record of this scene where "Obi is conversing with Ani as he repeatedly strikes him".
You have to understand any early description of the length of the duel was based on how much raw footage was captured and looked likely to make the final edit.
It is just a rough estimate.
This - as with all scenes in all movies - was then reduced until a satisfactory edit was achieved.
But just because the duel went down in length, does not mean whole scenes were dropped - more likely shots within scenes were trimmed.
It is possible some duel footage may make the DVD Extras - but my guess is it would be more of an extended or alternative scene(s) rather than a totally new scene(s).
Besides which, I personally would much rather see stuff we have seen nothing of rather than extensions of things we did see.
Some of the political stuff is a definite, but Shaak-Ti's death, the digitally rendered Dagobah, the fuel room, the Nos Monster would all rank above more duel footage for me...
