In the beginning (or, August of 2012 to be more accurate) there was Abandoned ‘Star Wars’ Plot Points, Episode I: The Ties That Surround Us, Bind Us and Penetrate Us… and it was good. Then, in February of 2013 came Abandoned ‘Star Wars’ Plot Points, Episode II: The Force Behind the Scenes, which was even better and more popular.

For years after Return of the Jedi (1983), there was little or no Star Wars news, which is as hard to imagine as the Cubs winning the pennant. Now, especially after the announcement of the much anticipated “Sequel Trilogy”, the news about our favorite space saga is not only omnipresent but seemingly changes every day.

At the time of this writing the internet is buzzing like a mynock chewing on a power cable about the new teaser trailer for Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens. Who are these people? What does it mean? Is Han taking Rogaine? What happened to Luke’s Michael Jackson glove? Is Vader returning? If not, who is taking Vader’s place? Who is holding the helmet as if to pensively say “Alas, poor Vader, I knew him, Horatio!”? Is Chewie taking Rogaine?

Read on… you never really know what is and isn’t going into your Star Wars movie. There were a lot of amazing and even fleshed out concepts that were completely abandoned before screen time. Let us once again take a peek at what might have been in that “Galaxy Far, Far Away”, true believers!
