Original ‘Star Wars’ Script Has Different Fate for Obi-Wan Kenobi

— -- This will blow your mind! Chewbacca legend Peter Mayhew shared some pages from the original "Star Wars" script before several changes were made to 1977's "A New Hope."

The biggest being that Obi-Wan Kenobi wasn't supposed to die at the hands of his former apprentice, Darth Vader. Yes, you read that correctly!

This isn't the first time news of drastic changes to the original "Star Wars" film has come to light. Lucas crafted a changed his original vision a few times before it hit production in the late 70's.

Mayhew shared the original script's dialogue between Kenobi and Vader, followed by their epic lightsaber battle.

"#chewscript 027 Obi-wan lives through his fight with Vader. Check it out. @starwars," he tweeted.

Vader still tells Obi-Wan: "You powers are weak ... old man," but during their duel, Kenobi blocks Vader's sweeping lightsaber strike and ultimately traps Darth in a tunnel on the Death Star.

"But Ben manages to deflect the blow," can be seen on the script page.

As Kenobi runs to the Millennium Falcon, Luke later uses his father's lightsaber to help him after a blast knocks the old Jedi down. Luke and Kenobi get on board and the rest reads like the movie. Vader has his homing beacon on the Falcon and awaits to find out the coordinates of the Rebel base.
