Star Wars Celebration Orlando just wrapped up, and this year was especially unique, in part because there is a highly-anticipated new Episode coming to theaters (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) – but also because this year’s Celebration marked the 40th anniversary of the Star Wars franchise.

With that milestone anniversary came some nostalgia-heavy looks back at the franchise’s history (or at least, the parts that fans care to remember). As a result of those throwback memories, fans also got to see material from the saga that they’d never seen before.
Case in point: Below you can view a never-before-seen deleted scene and very NSFW blooper, taken from Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. Fans in attendance at celebration got to enjoy these two new nostalgic moments in mass – but they’re still just as enjoyable, watching HERE.
Deleted Scene
During a panel that took place on Day #1 of celebration, Industrial Light and Magic Chief Creative Officer John Knoll was the one to reveal the never-before-seen scenes from A New Hope.
Up first: fans got a look at a longer scene of Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia conversing with Grand Moff Tarkin (Peter Cushing) before Leia’s home planet, Alderaan, is eradicated by The Death Star. The scene gets deep when Leia questions the Empire’s presumed position of moral high ground, by questioning their very humanity (a nice winking joke in the alien-populated universe of Star Wars).ย

NSFW Blooper
Ever wanted to hear some foul language in aย Star Warsย movie? Then look no further than the scene above.ย
If you don’t recognize him, that’s actor Angus MacInnes, who played the iconic “Gold Leader” inย A New Hope’sย climatic battle between The Rebel Alliance fleet, and The Death Star.
The scene takes place when Gold Leader is leading a bombing run on the Death Star;ย as you can see (and as we heard multiple times during Celebration), the cast members trying to get George Lucas’ sci-fi gibberish out of their mouths for the first time, had quite a frustrating time of it.ย
…For MacInnes, a few choice words helped clear that frustration right up.
