 Originally a different ending to The Last Starfighter was shot first, but it  is very similar to the ending on the film now.  When Alex returns to the  planet Rylos, he is taken to an award ceremony in the Rylos great hall.   There we see a few aliens and some rylans cheering for Alex.	Centauri appears  in the crowd and urges Alex to stay.	The film makers decided to use computer  generated shots of a large crowd gathering on the planet instead of the great  hall scene.  Several photos for this original ending can be seen on the DVD.  Several of Centauris (Robert Preston) lines are different in the theatrical  trailers. There are several scenes involving a young Wil Wheaton (Louis  Friend), all of which were deleted.  However, there is a reference to these  scenes toward the end of the film.  Louis says "See that you slimes, Im  famous".
