When it comes to A NEW HOPE,
Biggs Darklighter really took
a beating as far as deleted
scenes go. The first missing
scene involving Biggs from A
NEW HOPE (according to the
STAR WARS novelization) was to
occur just after a different
scene that also ended up
deleted featuring Luke and
Treadwell, his trusty droid
helper. Luke Skywalker, full
of excitement at having seen
some starships in the sky
above Tatooine, races towards
the Toshi Station (located in
Anchorhead) to tell his
friends about the battle he's
just witnessed which we all
know is the capture of the
Tantive IV. In transit, Luke
almost runs down an old woman
with his landspeeder. She
turns and yells at Luke to
slow down. Luke hops out of
his speeder and runs into the
Toshi Station where he finds
his friends Camie, Fixer, Deak
and Windy relaxing and
enjoying the day. Deak and
Windy are in the back area
playing a game that resembles
pool or air-hockey or
something, while Camie and
Fixer nap at a desk - Camie in
Fixer's arms. Luke scrambles
in waking them up and then
notices another guy in the
room. It's Biggs Darklighter,
who had left Tatooine the
previous season to join the
Imperial Academy. Luke is
overwhelmed with joy to see
his old friend again.They
start to talk a little but
then Luke remembers the real
reason he came by and urges
everyone to come outside for a
look. Deak and Windy, however,
remain inside writing off the
event as one of Wormie's
delusions. Luke's nickname in
the film is obviously
'Wormie,' in case you haven't
noticed by now.When they get
outside, Luke points to where
the action was and Biggs takes
a look using Luke's
macrobinoculars. He does see
two ships but no action and
tells the little crowd so.
Then Camie grabs the binocs
and has a look for herself.
The disappointed group
retreats back inside the
station without Luke who
remains outside looking (and
feeling) embarrassed.
