Deleted Vader Scene from A New Hope # 1

Being an uber-nerd, I was sent some clips of deleted scenes from Star Wars: A New Hope. As I'm not able to show you these or I would therefore destroy the confidence which has been placed in me, I will attempt to describe to you a few of these gems. The first of these takes place right after Vader kills Obi Wan and Luke and crew escape.

SCENE I

INT. DEATH STAR HANGAR

The engine sounds of the Millennium Falcon die away. Storm troopers stop firing their blasters and start walking back to their guard posts. Vader leans his back against the blast door and gives a crackling sigh through his respirator. A clean up droid wheels in and begins to sweep up Obi Wan’s robes. As he uses the force to retrieve the other lightsaber, Vader says out loud, to the droid maybe, “(ssssk-shih) This is not the reunion I envisioned with my son. (sssk-shihhh).”

CUT TO:

INT. DEATH STAR HANGAR

Daydream of Luke stepping off one of the Empire transports. Vader is standing imperiously. Luke gets into a dueling stance, turns on his lightsaber. Vader unsheathes his. They circle each other in a ring of Stormtroopers. Suddenly, Luke smiles and Vader opens his arms and they both hug. Stormtroopers cheer. Cue “So Happy Together”.

MONTAGE

CUT BACK TO:

INT. DEATH STAR HANGAR

Vader is smashing the clean up droid with both lightsabers. The noises from his helmet could be crying but sound more like a radio slowly dying.
