George Lucas Cuts Luke's Lightsaber Scene in ORIGINAL Return of the Jedi Script PART 3: In the original screenplay/script for Star Wars Revenge of the Jedi (Return of the Jedi), George Lucas had Luke Skywalker build his own lightsaber, where Yoda would speak to him and tell him that his training is now complete. It would have been a cool scene. He also has many other things added which I go over and explain in this PART 3 of George Lucas original Return of the Jedi script. by Star Wars Theory

George Lucas Interview Outtakes: In this interview which wasn't included in the 'Making ep 1 Documentary" we get to see the questions that give the audience and Star Wars fans more insight on George Lucas' overall process of film, film making, writing, and directing when it comes to his films and Star Wars. One key question was in regards to the technology today allowing George to tell the story better than he could with the originals. I found this interesting because with A New Hope, Empire and Jedi, we got fabulous stories, however, they were indeed limited not to George's vast imagination, but to the tech of that era, sadly. by Star Wars Theory
