Star Wars fans were left in disbelief after they discovered a sick deleted scene from the much-loved George Lucas’ franchise.
Ever since A New Hope was released in 1977, an ever growing legion of followers has lapped up the adventures of the characters from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. The space-based Hollywood epic has spawned multiple movies, TV series, graphic novels and video games.
And within this expanding universe, fans have been treated to an abundance of story arcs involving humans, aliens and robots. But with so much going on already, not everything has made the final cut to reach the big screen.

In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Jacob (@jtimsuggs) brought up the offending sequence, which featured in the The Phantom Menace, the first prequel to the original trilogy.
He wrote: “Still baffled that there is a deleted scene for The Phantom Menace where one alien’s wife and children come to support him during a podrace, only for his speeder to crash and blow up horrifically. They even mention that ‘his wife just got out of the hospital.’ LIKE GEORGE?!”

Alongside his post he included a couple of pictures of said family, and fans were quick to react to the news in absolute disbelief that the scene had even been made.
One wrote: “The saving grace of the prequels is that they are truly odd movies.”
Another said: “I told my friends about this scene and they REFUSED to believe me that it was real.”

A third added: “Facts. I need closure. One of the most gut wrenching pre-death screams in cinematic history.”
While a fourth pointed out: “George has this not-so-secret sadistic sense of humour. Droids scream bloody murder when they’re blown away. Aliens get annihilated for comedic effect. I always felt bad but also… entertained???”
