What did Vader originally say when he waggled his finger?
In Star Wars (A New Hope, if you must), there's a scene when Vader is talking to Grand Moff Tarkin.
Vader's voice stops, and then a second later Vader raises his hand and wags his finger at Tarkin.
Tarkin: "She lied. She lied to us."
Vader: "I told you she would never consciously betray the rebellion."
Vader awkwardly wags his finger at Tarkin after already having finished his line.
It's well known that Vader's voice was added later, performed by James Earl Jones.
Q1. But why didn't George Lucas cut this moment before the finger wag? Why leave the awkward silence? (Or add some cuts so the finger was raised at the right moment.)
Q2. I can only assume there was additional dialog there that got cut. Is there anything that tells what what was was said originally?

SCENE: Darth and Tarkin are talking about Leia's deception over the rebel base allegedly being on Dantooine.
EVENT: During part of the exchange, Darth stops talking, but keeps gesturing as though he is saying something. Tarkin doesn't respond to his comment until after he stops gesturing. The reason Vader continues gesturing is that the original line of dialog was a bit longer, and was evidently shortened in post-production. According to the original screenplay, Vader's full lines were:
"I told you she would never consciously betray the Rebellion, unless she thought she could destroy us in the process."
In the final cut, they cut off the audio line after the word "Rebellion." David Prowse did speak the original lines during filming, hence the prolonged gesturing).

What does Darth Vader mean in German?
\xb7 Aug 3, 2019. Star Wars Mythbusters Darth Vader is from the German (or Dutch) for \u201cDark Father\u201d 1. \u201c General Vader/Imperial Commander\u201d appears on an early-1974 list of potential character names by George Lucas (screenshots from @jwrinzler's essential Making of #StarWars book series)What did Vader think after killing Obi-Wan?
When Obi-Wan says this line, it's because he believes that Luke witnessing a new mentor's death would push Luke to become the Jedi he needs in order to confront and hopefully save his father and the Galaxy.Why Vader was TERRIFIED After His Duel with Obi-Wan in A New Hope! (Legends)
