Hardcore fans of Star Wars will have gotten their first look at this deleted scene from The Force Awakens back in October, but a longer, more graphic version of the scene involving Rey, Chewbacca, and Unkar Plutt went more or less under the radar.

In the 3D Collector's Edition Blu-Ray released the following month, the deleted scene inside Maz Kanata's fortress bar shows Unkar Plutt, voiced by our own Simon Pegg, confronting Rey about pinching the Millennium Falcon - which he himself stole. When Rey points a gun at Plutt, he quickly snatches the blaster and points it at her instead. Chewbacca, the voice of reason, then takes the weapon and hands it back to Rey.
Plutt then proceeds to dig his own grave by squaring up to the Wookie, saying "I'm not afraid of you. Half a Wookie isn't much."
Chewbacca then clutches Plutt's right arm and rips it off clean, tossing it onto a table behind him.

It's a satisfying watch for Star Wars fans who were fucked off when Unkar, the Jakku junk mogul, treated Rey like shite and even threatened to destroy BB-8 in the first episode of the new space saga trilogy.
