Part 4/13:
Recent reports, including insights from YouTuber Doomcock, suggest that a "George Lucas cut" of The Rise of Skywalker does exist in some form. This version purportedly features scenes and story elements closer to Lucas’s original vision for the sequel trilogy, emphasizing certain character arcs and narrative choices that differ from the theatrical release.
One alleged scene that has gained attention involves Rey hearing Anakin Skywalker's voice, which would confirm Lucas’s plans to deeply connect Rey’s lineage and the Skywalker saga. Another rumor hints at the inclusion of Luke and Leia together more prominently, possibly showing their confrontation or collaboration, aligning with Lucas’s desire for a more cohesive Skywalker family story.
