Vad hände i matsalen i Cloud City?

Originalen 1978 Leigh Brackett utkastsskriptet för den catchily-namngivna " Untitled Star Wars Sequel " innehåller en mycket mer omfattande "Dining Salon" -scen där Vader avslöjar hans planer som en stor stor dummy.

DISSOLVE TO INT DINING SALON – NIGHT

Everyone is at table, Darth Vader presiding at the head; he is neither eating nor drinking. Lando eats with a good appetite. The others Chewbacca sits quiet, not touching anything. Han and Leia have lost their appetites but both... and especially Han... are drinking wine. Looking at Lando and contemplating murder.

LANDO : You see, Han, I had no choice. I knew who the Princess was the moment you landed, I knew that the Empire wanted you both... and the Empire is important to me. I suppose that I really owe my comfortable existence here to the Empire, though I'm not a part of it, and I continue to trade with both sides. So I really had no choice.

HAN : I hope you were well paid. You know what’s going to happen to us.

LANDO : Lord Vader assured me that nothing would happen to any of you.

LEIA : Ha! I’ve enjoyed Lord Vader’s hospitality before. What’s the matter, Lord Vader? Have you gone so far beyond humanity that you no longer need to eat, or drink?

DARTH VADER : I have had to forego those simple pleasures, like an along with many others; but there are compensations I survive. And you’re forgetting something, Princess. When we entertained you aboard the Death Star, you had information that we needed. Now you have nothing.

LEIA : Then... I don’t understand.

DARTH VADER : Luke Skywalker.

HAN : Luke!?

LEIA : What about him? But I don’t know where he is... or even if he’s still alive.

DARTH VADER : He’s alive. And he’ll find you, because he loves you.

HAN : That’s ridiculous. He could search for...

DARTH VADER : He’ll find her. And until then, we wait. I would advise you against any rash moves. I’ve set a guard on the Falcon so there’s no escape that way. I shan’t lock your doors unless you make it necessary.

LEIA : It’s impossible. Luke hasn’t the faintest idea where we are. You must be out of your mind.

DARTH VADER : Then there’s no need to worry, is there?

LEIA : Any time the Empire is around, I worry.

She rises and strides out, not excusing herself or looking back.

HAN : Guess I’ll go, too. The air’s bad in here. Coming, Chewie Chewbacca?

Chewie growls. They go out. Darth Vader looks after them. Lando glances at him uneasily, then goes on with his meal. But he too seems to have lost his appetite.

Framtida utkast tog bort själva scenen men höll huvuddelen av Landos dialog med Han / Leia.

Det enda möjliga svaret jag kan tänka på är huruvida de utarbetade den scenen i de olika manusföreställningarna. Per Wookieepedia-sidan för Empire Strikes Back, i avsnittet bakom scenerna nämner de att manuset gick igenom flera utkast av flera författare. Tyvärr har jag aldrig sett, och jag vet inte heller hur man förvärvar, tidigare versioner av skärmbilder som inte användes.

Lucas hired screenwriter Leigh Brackett to write a screenplay based on his story treatment. Brackett finished the first draft on February 23, 1978 but she died soon afterwards. According to Lucas, he didn't like the direction in which her screenplay went. Without a writer to fix it, he was forced to write the second draft himself throughout March[4]. Major plot changes were made compared to the first draft and the storyline that is in the film was formed in this draft. One of the most notable changes was making Vader Luke's father[4]. When Lawrence Kasdan finished writing the screenplay for Raiders of the Lost Ark he was hired to rewrite and improve Lucas' draft. He wrote a few more drafts before the script conference was held in November between George Lucas, Lawrence Kasdan, Irvin Kershner and Gary Kurtz. After some additional input, the shooting script was finally formed. Minor changes to dialogues came from Kershner and actors throughout the filming and were mostly approved by Lucas.

Redigera: Det är uppenbart att det är möjligt att hitta åtminstone några av de äldre utkasten till Empire Strikes Back-bildskärmarna. Följande länk leder till online-pdf-versionen av Leigh Bracketts ursprungliga utkast, som tydligen läckte online någon gång runt 2010, enligt följande: källa 1 , källa 2 , källa 3 . Perusing Brackett-utkastet, runt segment 193 INT DINING SALON - NIGHT, det har en middagsbord dialok mellan Han, Lando, Vader och Leia.

Vid den följande länken finns också textversioner av det fjärde utkastet och det offentliga utkastet, och ingen av dessa har någon ytterligare matsalinteraktion efter den ursprungliga scenen. Det betyder att det togs ut mellan Bracketts utkast och det fjärde utkastet.
