Star Wars fans are rediscovering one of the prequels' funniest moments, which is hidden in a deleted scene fromRevenge of the Sith.
In the clip, which you can watch below, Anakin Skywalker andObi-Wan Kenobihave a brief debate over whether R2-D2 is trying to direct them up or down after their translator breaks. The catch is, Anakin can – somehow – flawlessly mimic R2’s beeps, though without understanding them. The real joy, though, is seeing how much fun Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor are clearly having during the moment.
“This one, and the one where they’re surrounded and trying to decide on a plan via a series of head tilts and mustache twirls were my favorites,“says one fan, referring to another iconic deleted scene.
“We should have had an entire movie of buddy comedy Obi-Wan & Anakin like the first 30 mins of Revenge of the Sith,“thinks another fan.
“This is now part of my personal canon,” saysone person, andanother agrees: “This should be canon.”
