While on location in Tunisia,
George Lucas made one shot intended for
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005). He claimed he would not be returning to Tunisia, and if he needed another shot, he wouldn't get it. The nature of the shot was unknown, although it is widely rumored to be the so-called "Harry Potter" scene, in which Obi-Wan Kenobi delivers the infant Luke Skywalker to his aunt and uncle. Since
Ewan McGregor did not participate in the Tunisia shoot, a wide shot of a double was filmed handing over a doll to Owen Lars (
Joel Edgerton). However, during production of "Revenge of the Sith" it was decided Obi-Wan should hand the infant to Beru (
Bonnie Piesse) instead. All three actors were filmed separately in front of a green-screen and the original shot was ultimately not used.
