Char's original excuse for wearing a mask is that he is ugly lmao

This is from a story outline made by Tomino while the anime was still in production. You can read a translated version here. There are major differences between this and the finished anime. Some of these scrapped ideas would later get reworked into the novels, Origin, etc. I'll share some of the bigger changes and other interesting bits here.

Lalah is called "Asteroid Lalah." She sees Char "as a brother."

Sayla split the gold bars she got from Char with the rest of the White Base crew, keeping one for herself.

The "real Char Aznable" is mentioned. He's not described in detail but Sayla knew him before he died and Char stole his identity.

There's a bunch of mobile suits/armors and characters who never appeared in the anime, including Degwin's secretary, Qusco Ale, who Bright falls in love with but has to kill, and Casval Bailey*, a teenager who becomes "Amuro's loyal subordinate." He dies in the finale. There's also a Zeon newtype named Paccadelia. He calls Lalah a traitor when he notices her and Amuro having a newtype connection, but then he is killed by Kai and Hayato.

Tem Ray is (supposedly) murdered by the Flanagan Institute

Kycilia dies much earlier in the story. Char kills her with a sword.

The Lalah and Amuro fight takes place underground on the Moon.

Degwin meets with Sayla and admits to his role in Zeon's death. He then dares her to kill him, but she doesn't want to be vengeful like her brother.

Char dies at A Baoa Qu after being badly injured in an earlier fight when Amuro destroyed his mobile suit (a "garaba," which doesn't appear in the anime). He has a final conversation with Sayla and tells her to go on without him.

Amuro kills Gihren, but is then shot by one of his guards. The ending is ambiguous on whether he lives or not. He tells Lalah he will play with her "tomorrow" and then passes out.

*The person who translated this rendered his name as Cathbar to be more distinct from Char's original name but they're almost identical in Japanese: カスバル vs キャスバル. While looking for more info I learned he shows up in that weird For the Barrel thing.
