Star Wars Cantina Scenes - Raw Footage (1976)

Star Wars Cantina Scenes - Raw Footage (1976)
A lot of raw test footage was shot for the Iconic Cantina scene in Star Wars. This video shows a few of the original aliens that didn’t make it into the final cut, as well as Han Solo’s girlfriend “Jenny”.

George Lucas played with a couple of variations to the scene with Walrus man (Ponda Baba) and Ben Kenobi, the other more well known version shows his dismembered arm (with a flipper). The beheading was deemed too severe as it would give Luke a bad impression of Ben.
