Episode IV: A New Hope

unused footage: Anchorhead gallery


The deleted storylines from Star Wars: A New Hope which featured Luke's childhood friend and mentor, Biggs Darklighter, are some of the most favored and famous of all cut scenes of the space saga. Before more recent times, only a very few images were available to give an idea of how Tosche Station and Anchorhead looked - a few stills from storybooks and trading cards, and then the more vicarious experience of reading the Marvel comic books by artists and authors who were fortunate enough to see these scenes first hand. This gallery presents examples of such images. Some newer stills and diagrams are also featured.
