Ugh, i hate that i pretty much manifested his return 😩

Watto   Is this the most prominent character cut so far? Probably. He's not real so I can't pretend that he deserves to be cut for being a slaveowner lol. But of all the annoying Episode I aliens I'll make sure this guy leaves before my Jar Jar Binks immunity expires! Watto was an unpleasant character with an unpleasant voice that was unpleasant to look at. They went over the top in making him sleazy in appearance and personality. As if we'd accidentally mistake the human trafficker as some cool character! His wings defy physics and that's probably the best thing about him. Really ambitious to include this type of alien front-and-center in the prequels considering the computer technology at the time. So yeah he was in the movies because he owned Anakin and Anakin's mother as slaves, which the Jedi came to collect Anakin since he was an immaculate conception force-sensitive or whatever. I remember them trying to use jedi mind tricks on Watto and it didn't work. I don't think Watto ever died, so that's cool for him. But yeah him selling Anakin's mom off was a catalyst to a lot of pretty bad things. He's lucky that Anakin didn't come back and find him because little Ani was sure in a bad mood when he found those tusken raiders. And not just the men. But the women and the children too. Can I 100% blame Watto for Darth Vader? Of course not, but he's not in the clear either. Obviously Obi and Qui should have bought both Anakin AND his mom from Watto. But we can't pretend that the slaver is somehow blameless in the situation here.   Save Majordomo even though he doesn't deserve it

Yeah after looking further I think it has to be her initials since that older DB label isn't even around anymore. Honestly I'm pleasantly surprised Danielle was able to hang on with BMLG for as long as she did.

8D8   I'm a huge fan of most of the droids but this one can go. We first saw him in the background operating a weird hot iron branding torture device in the back rooms of Jabba's Palace. Mostly just there for adding visuals and ambiance to the scene. He wasn't on the ship when Jabba and his crew blew up, so he was still there when Bib Fortuna took over. And when Boba Fett came back to take things over from Bib, 8D8 was still there again. So 8D8 served Boba and was kind of his creepy C3PO to help him manage the area, translate, and whatever else. It was fun to see this random background character fleshed out and given a larger role. But at the end of the day he will always be the scary robot in the background of my favorite movie. Also tbh his role was still not that large oop   Save Garsa Fwip who was in fewer episodes than the robot but made a bigger impact on me and was more interesting
