If memory serves correctly, I believe the shot of Watto yelling Sebulba is in the Extended scene of the Complete Podrace Grid Sequence .

Your memory serves correctly!
But other scenes remains missing in HD.

What parts remain SD only:

  • arrival on Coruscant: from Palpatine’s office to Anakin talking with Jar Jar (was replaced by another taxi scene on DVD, HDTV and BR)
  • Senate scene : human extras replaced by Aliens on DVD, HDTV and BR
  • Naboo’s palace : one bridge added in HD (on DVD, HDTV and BR)
  • CGI effects re-rendered in HD : windows reflects added, background sharpener (ia clouds in night sky) (on DVD, HDTV, BR)
  • entire HDTV version suffers from Digital Edge Enhancement (halo artifacts), and entire BR version suffers from DNR
  • entire HD version is missing theatrical colors (too much red everywhere in HDTV and DVD, all scenes manually regraded for BR)
  • entire HDTV and DVD versions are missing 15% of the image because too much cropped (ia there is a second moon near Coruscant that is only visible on BR)
  • entire BR version is missing original Yoda puppet
    -… (I probably forget other points)

The main HD lacks are the arrival on Coruscant, human extras in Senate and bridge near Naboo Palace. Other points are less important (but still missing in HD).

I’m actively working on a HD theatrical reconstruction (missing scenes can be achieved by merging NTSC and PAL sources - LD and TV broacasts, as spOrv calls this process “PaNUp” ™ ). It takes time but everything goes well.

I would like to see where some of these things are. Can you provide the time/frame number for where the extra bridge is and an example of the the rerendered sky and window reflections.
