Anakin's Ghost Visits Luke and Yoda on Dagobah - Star Wars Explained Original Scripts: What if Anakin had shown up to Luke Skywalker on Dagobah with Yoda? How is this possible, you ask? Well, in the original screenplay for The Empire Strikes Back, George Lucas was going to have Anakin Skywalker be a different character than Darth Vader. This would have made Obi-Wan Kenobi's lie to Luke, about his father being killed by Vader, true. It was later changed of course, and we got Vader dropping the line "NO! I AM YOUR FATHER!" which still shocks Star Wars fans who watch Empire for the first time. by Star Wars Theory

Let me Explain the Obi-Wan and Mace Windu Deleted Scene: In the book Star Wars Archives Prequels 1999-2005, there's some concept art from a deleted scene with Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi. The dialogue in this scene, I believe could have changed a lot of things in Star Wars in regards to alerting the Jedi of Anakin and Padme's relationship (as if it wasn't clear enough). This would leave no room to ignore the fact that they didn't know what Skywalker's future might look like given his emotional range that was quite evident. Do you think this scene would have been good to leave in the film? Or perhaps you are happy they deleted it? by Star Wars Theory
