<img attachment="palpatine_on_the_phone.jpg" align="left" class="frame">The following video, <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=6Amr8PTkZCI&search=star%20wars%20death%20star" source="YouTube">Death Star</a>, is a hilarious deleted scene that George Lucas intended as the opening scene for <i>The Empire Strikes Back</i>. When Mark Hamill crashed up his bike and scarred his face, he added the whole "Ice Planet Hoth" thing instead. Truly hilarious and well worth watching!
