Anakin's BIG Deleted Scene Finally Revealed vs Obi-Wan - Star Wars Explained

hey guys in this episode I want to cover something pretty interesting and something that was supposed to give us a very different feel to the whole high ground scene in Revenge of the Sith so remember when Obi 1 sliced Anakin into pieces Anakin was full of rage and hate in that scene and he was set in his path to kill the Jedi and never ask him for help or forgiveness or anything right well according to the making of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith Anakin was actually supposed to beg obi-wan to save him to help him this puts a totally different feel on the scene because now we have Anakin asking for help and forgiveness even if for about a moment it still shows he was never fully committed to the dark side or it shows his treachery that he was gonna use Obi Wan's help to somehow kill him or throw him in a lava now personally I think this is the moment that Anakin could have been swayed back to the light I mean there's more chance at this moment than any other really so here's the direct write up from the book Revenge of the Sith deleted scene a cry for help the scene where obi-wan defeats Anakin was originally slightly longer and included additional dialogue between the two men after everything that happened between them on most afar and after everything Anakin has done Obi Wan's first impulse is to reach out to help the man who became his brother and Anakin's first impulse is to reach out to obi-wan for help Anakin's cry for help together with his outstretched hand is actually left intact in the movie even though the sound was muted you can see Hayden Christensen's lips clearly pronouncing the words Christensen groans to get into character and then gives an emotional delivery of the two lines help me master and I hate you the making of Star Wars Revenge of the Sith by JW Rinzler documents the filming of that dialogue and there is actual behind-the-scenes footage where obi-wan refuses to help the Fallen Jedi it's only then that Anakin's eyes turned from blue to sit threat this revelation adds a new dimension to the scene and makes it even more breaking I love you but I can't help you according to this book after Anakin implores obi-wan to save him George Lucas asked you and McGregor to say I will not softer almost to himself because after Anakin bursts it into flames it's as if obi-wan was talking to a dead person that's why he also suggested to drive home this point that McGregor changed the words in the script to the past tense I loved you Ewan agreed but pointed out that his subsequent line would have to change too but I could not help you Lucas also explained that what obi-wan is basically saying to Anakin is you were my only hope you blew it now we don't have any hope so this adds a whole new dimension of feelings for that scene Anakin was asking for help and this was the moment that I feel he could have been saved everyone declined rightfully so he did a lot of wrongs in this case and thus cementing his path to the dark side forever but it makes you think what if he actually did save him this kind of takes you back to my fanfiction where I did two parts of what if obi-wan saved Anakin that would have completely changed the timeline and if you haven't checked it out do check it out it was one of my favorites to make and I think it holds a lot of truths for what could have happened here however Star Wars wouldn't be what it is today if that did now of course the new hope was Luke Skywalker but they don't really know that till much later anyways let me know what you guys think of this alternate ending this deleted scene that we never really got and if you notice what anakin is mouthing in Revenge of the Sith that they left in thanks again for watching guys I will see you all in the next episode of Star Wars theory until then my fellow Jedi it's as friends remember [Music] our destiny you
