Vad är de signifikanta "scenerna saknas från filmen" i den officiella novelleringen för The Force Awakens?

Betydande:

• Leia skickar sändebudet Korr Sella till den nya republikens senat för att be om pengar och stöd.

  You need to go to the Senate right away. Tell them I insist that they take action against the First Order. The longer they bicker and delay, the stronger the Order becomes.” She leaned toward the other woman. “If they fail to take action soon, the Order will have grown so strong the Senate will be unable to do anything. It won’t matter what they think.

  Alltsammans är hela Star Wars "första filmerna i triloginsatsen" en stor helhetshistoria. Först förstör de en hel dödsstjärna, för Han hysar 17 000 poäng i episod IV. Sedan exploderar hela galaxen i ett inbördeskrig över handelsvägen beskattning i Episode I (oh, och framtiden Sith Lord Darth Vader blir lös på galaxen eftersom dum Jedi inte hade riktiga pengar att betala för skeppsdelar). Sedan hyser både Han och Leia pengar i Episode VII - den förra var den enda anledningen till att hela tomten hände. Om Han inte hade träffat Rey skulle hon fångas.

  Åh, och Leia tror att hon blir mördad av New Republic.

  I would have a terrible ‘accident,’ or become the victim of some ‘deranged’ radical. Or I would eat something that didn’t agree with me. Or encounter someone who didn’t agree with me.

• En diskussion om den exakta planerade Starkiller-användningsstrategin / taktiken, när de förlorar droiden:

  The redheaded officer spoke up immediately. “I do have a proposition. The weapon. We have it. It is ready. I believe the time has come to use it.”
  “Against?”
  “The Republic. Or what its fractious proponents choose to call the Republic. Their center of government, its entire system. In the chaos that will follow, the Resistance will have no choice but to investigate an attack of such devastating scale. They will throw all their resources into trying to discover its source. So they have no choice but to investigate fully, and in so doing…”
  “Reveal themselves.”
  Snoke was clearly pleased.
  “And if they don’t… we’ve destroyed them.”
  “Yes,” Snoke said in satisfaction. “Extreme. Audacious. I agree that the time for such measures has come. Go. Oversee the necessary preparations.”

• Tekniska specifikationer för Starkiller och speciellt hur det använder solenergi. Inte så mycket som att "saknas" som "extremt annorlunda". Detaljer här och ännu bättre jämförelse mellan novellering och WGA-skript här .

• Detaljerad konversation mellan Snoke, Ren och Hux om att skjuta vid Ileenium. Detta är väldigt viktigt eftersom det visar på att första ordern är ganska liten och resursbindad, eftersom de behöver bry sig om att ockupera - för att förstöra - 2 eller 3 planeter.

  Though visibly angry, Snoke’s tone remained unchanged. “Have we located the main Resistance base?”
  Hux was clearly gratified to be the bearer of good news. “We were able to track their reconnaissance ship back to the Ileenium system. We are coordinating with our own reconnaissance craft in the area in order to lock down the specific location of their base.”
  Snoke replied with cold satisfaction. “We do not need it. Prepare the weapon. Destroy their system.”
  Collected and composed as he was, Hux was not immune to surprise. “The system? Supreme Leader, according to the most recent galographics, at least two and possibly three habitable worlds circle Ileenium. Following the destruction of the Hosnian worlds, would it not be worthwhile simply to destroy their base and claim the remainder for the Order? We will have the location of the base within a matter of hours and—”

  Once more she climbed to her feet, her chilled breath preceding her. From in front of her, not far away, came the sounds of battle: the cries of the wounded and the clashing of weapons. Then behind her, another voice. That voice.
  “Stay here. I’ll come back for you.”
  She whirled, glazed eyes desperately scanning the dark gaps between the slender trees, trying to penetrate the darkness. “Where are you?” She started running toward the voice.
  “I’ll come back, sweetheart. I promise.”

• Hela diskussionen mellan Ren och Snoke på varför Darth Vader misslyckades (vilket också nämner viktigt Snoke's age).

  Kylo Ren, I watched the Galactic Empire rise, and then fall. The gullible prattle on about the triumph of truth and justice, of individualism and free will. As if such things were solid and real instead of simple subjective judgments. The historians have it all wrong. It was neither poor strategy nor arrogance that brought down the Empire. You know too well what did.” Ren nodded once. “Sentiment.” “Yes. Such a simple thing. Such a foolish error of judgment. A momentary lapse in an otherwise exemplary life. Had Lord Vader not succumbed to emotion at the crucial moment—had the father killed the son—the Empire would have prevailed. And there would be no threat of Skywalker’s return today.

• ... och varför Kylo Ren ska vara speciell unik snöflinga

  It is far more than that. It is where you are from. What you are made of. The Dark Side—and the Light. The finest sculptor cannot fashion a masterpiece from poor materials. He must have something pure, something strong, something unbreakable, with which to work.

• Mycket mer utökad dialog mellan Han och Leia - visar sina känslor för varandra (Jo, Han är för Leia), men också viktigare, att Snoke riktade Ben för rekrytering mycket ung.

  He had trouble believing what he was hearing. “So Snoke was watching our son.”
  “Always,” she told him. “From the shadows, in the beginning, even before I realized what was happening, he was manipulating everything, pulling our son toward the dark side. But nothing’s impossible, Han. Not even now, at this late time. I have this feeling that if anyone can save him — it’s you.”

• Leia och Rey har ett konstigt samtal som kan vara meningsfullt (eller inte) visavi Reys föräldraskap:

  “I’m proud of what you’re about to do,” she told the girl. Rey replied in all seriousness. “But you’re also afraid. In sending me away, you’re—reminded.” Leia straightened. “You won’t share the fate of our son.” “I know what we’re doing is right. This is how it has to be. This is how it should be.” Leia smiled gently, reassuringly. “I know it, too. May the Force be with you.”

• Detaljer om Hans affärsplan

  “I got three going to King Prana. Kings not only like to collect, they like to boast about their collections. Seems Prana’s in competition with the regent of the Mol’leaj system. The regent doesn’t have a rathtar in his private zoo. Neither does anybody else.”

  When Dr. Kalonia finally emerged from the intensive care section, Rey nearly fainted at seeing the smile on her face. The physician’s words confirmed Rey’s hope. “Your friend’s going to be just fine.”

• Lite mer backstory om politisk situation, via Leias inre tankar

  They had thought that with the fall of the Empire it would all be so easy. That people would understand the need for patience, that time would be required to rebuild that which the Empire had taken away. Cities, communications, trade: All these could and were well on their way to full restoration. It was the intangibles that proved so much more difficult to re-establish throughout galactic society.

  Freedom, for example. The freedom to speak one’s mind, to object, to dispute. She sighed. Those who had led the rebellion had under-estimated the deeply buried desire of far too large a proportion of the population who simply preferred to be told what to do. Much easier it was to follow orders than to think for oneself. So everyone had argued and debated and discussed. Until it was too late.
