Now, this is a deleted scene worth checking out, not one of those, "here's where a conversation went on for 15 minutes longer" type affairs. We've been blessed with this deleted scene thanks to the latest installment of The Star Wars Show, and they also talk with comic book writer Cavan Scott about his previous and upcoming work, and more!
In the following scene, we see Phasma's blaster skills, and Finn's, uh, orator skills. Seriously though, this scene is pretty great, and although I can see the argument that it would have screwed with the pacing, it's still a shame we didn't see this in theaters.
Check this scene out below (action starts at about 1:37), or watch the whole show here.
