So there was this whole other version of “The Force Awakens” in which Rey’s old boss Unkar Plutt tracks Rey down to Maz’ planet and makes a big fuss. After Unkar keeps poking an injured Wookie, said Wookie begins dismembering Unkar, which could have been the most awesome scene in any “Star Wars” movie if you’re asking me. I’m certain J.J. Abrams must have had a spectacular reason for cutting it out.
(In the final version of the film, Rey seems to know a whole lot about Unkar and what Unkar did to the Falcon, suggesting that Unkar might have served as her supershitty foster father before their relationship turned to one of pure commerce.)
The 3D Blu-ray containing the deleted scene and a new Abrams commentary hits shelving Nov. 15.
