We know that at least 20 minutes was cut out of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
So what was cut, and will see it on the home release?

Star Wars: The Force Awakensmoved at the wild pace of a speeder bike hurtling through an Endor forest.
If this is the case, what might we see in those deleted sequences?
Remember how Poe disappeared, only to reappear again just as unexpectedly inThe Force Awakenssecond half?
This is a Blarina named Naka Iit, a less scary individual than he initially appears.
Case in point: Constable Zuvio, an ornery-looking law enforcer on the planet Jakku.
Perhaps the home release will give both of them a moment in the limelight.
It wont matter what they think.
Plutt threatens Rey and demands that she give his Millennium Falcon back.
Looking down at himself, Plutt let out a scream of agony…
Ouch.
Whatever Abrams reason for cutting it, this is one scene we sincerely winds up on the disc.
The answer to that wont arrive, we suspect, untilEpisode VIIIat the earliest.
I forgot to activate his long-range tracking mode!
C-3PO tells the dormant R2.
Where did she go?
Did she survive the destruction of her thousand year-old haunt?
That was a scene actually filmed, but we took out, Abrams said.
So we ended up leaving those things out.
From a storytelling perspective, that makes sense.
Whats more curious is that a smaller scene described in the book was also cut out of the film.
Go, Maz says to BB-8, the crumbling remains of her palace smouldering in the background.
Share what you have with your people […] Looks like some cleaning up to do, hmm?
In it, Finn and Rey steal a snowspeeder during the Resistance assault on the Starkiller base.
Abrams visual approach did, however, leave one or two things unsaid as the final credits rolled.
Why did Rey go to find Luke and not his sister, Leia?
Did Chewbacca mind that Rey was his new co-pilot after years of sharing the Falcon with Han?
This is how it has to be, Rey tells Leia just before she steps aboard the Falcon.
This is how it should be.
I know it, too, Leia replies.
May the Force be with you.
On the Millennium Falcon, Rey asks Chewbacca whether hes sure she can sit in the pilots chair.
Who knows what else was filmed but never included in the final cut?
At present, only Abrams and his fellow filmmakers.
Heres hoping we see at least some of these trimmed sequences soon.
TheStar Wars: The Force Awakensnovelization is out now.
