The Star Wars prequel trilogy is a trilogy of space opera films released from 1999 to 2005 written and directed by George Lucas. They serve as prequels (hence the name) to the Star Wars original trilogy and include the films, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones, and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. While many of these films' deleted scenes have been released on their various home media releases, almost as many if not more have not and they remain unreleased.

Known Deleted Scenes

Episode I – The Phantom Menace

  • A scene of Obi-Wan arriving on Naboo.[1]
  • A scene on Naboo featuring Qui-Gon lecturing Obi-Wan on allowing a lightsaber to short-circuit.[1]
  • An extended version of Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Jar Jar's arrival that the Naboo capital, Theed.[1]
  • A scene of Qui-Gon disguising himself as a Tatooine farmer aboard the Naboo Royal Starship.[1]
  • A scene of Jar Jar juggling equipment in Watto's shop.[1]
  • Extended scenes from Watto's Junkyard. While the scene itself hasn't been released an outtake of it has.[1]
  • A scene featuring a sandstorm on the streets of the Tatooine city, Mos Espa.[1]
  • The pod race announcers, Fode and Beed, were originally portrayed by two human heads on a CGI body, however, test footage of this version of the character was unworkable and was scrapped for a completely CGI version. This decision was made rather late into production however as the original action figure of the character was the scrapped version.[1]
  • A scene showing R2-D2 accidentally falling off a landing platform on Coruscant and then flying back up, showing that he has booster rockets.[1] The scenes featuring the booster rockets were cut due to the practical effects being unworkable, they did appear on R2-D2's Episode I action figure however. A behind-the-scenes version of this scene appears in a documentary titled, Lynne's Diaries, which appeared on the Episode I DVD.[2]
  • A scene where Chancellor Valorum confronts Palpatine about the vote of no confidence.[1]
  • A scene featuring an extended discussion between the Sith and the Trade Federation leaders in Theed.[1]
  • An extended version of the Duel of the Fates sequence. Many shots from this version can be briefly seen during some of the DVD documentaries and original TV spots for the film.[1]
  • Some early releases of the film had Darth Maul falling in one piece in order to satisfy certain rating boards.[3]
