In the clip — which was revealed by [_Entertainment Weekly_](http://www.ew.com/article/2016/10/18/star-wars-force-awakens-deleted-scene-unkar-plutt-chewbacca)Tuesday — Rey is confronted by Unkar Plutt, the Jakku junk dealer from whom she, Finn and BB-8 stole the Millennium Falcon. The blob-like alien threatens Rey and demands that she come with him, prompting Chewbacca to come to her aid. The sequence closes with Plutt prodding at Chewy’s recently injured arm while saying, “Half a Wookiee isn’t much.” However, the scene has a different — and much more brutal — ending on the new Blu-ray disc, according to _EW_. Harkening back to a moment in _A New Hope_ when [Han Solo tells C-3PO](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO6M4ngKRp0) that Wookiees are prone to ripping people’s arms out of their sockets, Chewy proceeds to yank one of Plutt’s arms off and throw it across the room in order to protect his new scavenger friend. Watch the first half of the scene below.
