Wampas are famous for being terrifying beasts, but the initial draft for The Empire Strikes Back's script showed them as even more monstrous.
George Lucas' habit for writing much more than he could fit into any Star Wars film is infamous, but the initial concept of the wampas in The Empire Strikes Back made them immensely more deadly than what viewers saw in the final cut.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This idea was not one of Lucas', however, as the film's rough draft was originally written by acclaimed 1970s sci-fi author Leigh Brackett. Brackett passed shortly after submitting The Empire Strikes Back's first draft, but her initial screenplay was the base that Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan built upon to further develop the continued adventures of the heroes.
Luke's First Encounter With A Wampa Foreshadowed A Much Greater Threat As opposed to what viewers were given of wampas in the final film, a severed arm from the blow of a lightsaber wouldn't have been enough to stop these ghost-like monstrosities.
