Many of you were scouring the Internet for the latest Episode I information way back in October 1998, then the big news hit. As you recall, some secret source by the name of 'Non-Disclosure' had posted an accurate description of the teaser trailer, now affectionately called 'Trailer A.'

Well, one of the scenes described in there never made it into the released version of trailer A. Perhaps the CGI work wasn't completed in time, or the sequence was shot down altoghther. Here's the original description, and further down some specualtion on what it possibly may actually be:

SHOT 65: Looking just plain weird, like something from Dune, probably unfinished. Some organic-looking "altars" standing in the desert (they are all looking exactly the same) and many nomadic humanoids in light robes (their faces hidden) are squatting/kneeling in foreground, each of them holding a spear.

What could that possibly be? Remember, the trailer from which this description was written was black and white, and not completed. Here's some of our thoughts and specualtion on what happened:

Chances are, it was an unfinished shot or an animatic in the early trailer, probably a shot where the Gungan's are on the battlefield. Because it wasn't in color and an early animatic, it could have been Naboo as easily as Tatooine. The "organic looking altars" are possibly references for the droid army troop transports and tanks, and the "humans" in white robes with hoods and are actually references for the Gungan soldiers with their unusual heads and weapons. It's quite likely that the shot simply could not be completed in time for the release of the trailer, and ended up on the 'cutting room floor.'

UPDATE
We've just gotten this confirmation from the inside:

It had to have been an early animatic from the Gungan ground battle. So early, in fact that it had very little detail to it. I don't know what else it could be. I don't recall there ever being a planned scene with "organic-looking 'altars' standing in the desert... and many nomadic humanoids in light robes". Something like that wouldn't fit into the story anywhere.

So as much as we want it to be a look inside the Tusken Raider's culture, it's probably just an early Gungan shot.
