The friendly conversation between Obi-Wan and Anakin in episode three after they land the ship on Coruscant. For that scene, everything works, the acting, the dialogue, even a little of bit of the direction. Its one of the few scenes that actually feels like a real conversation between two genuine and likable people. Its actually one of the few times any of the films feels like it has room to breath rather than getting the plot moving or continuing the ham fisted character arcs. Had we gotten more of this between the two, I probably would have enjoyed the films more. 

I agree with this. I always loved that scene. It felt like it was plucked from a better movie.

 

Also the opening scene of ROTS. Before people start talking.

Keep Circulating the Tapes.

I think that dialogue is a bit awkward ("you deserve your glorious day with the politicians"), but I do agree that the PT generally needed more friendly banter between Anakin and Obi-Wan.

On that subject, one of my favourite PT scene is the deleted scene from ROTS in which General Grievous kills Shaak-Ti. Especially the part where Anakin and Obi-Wan communicate about their escape via sign language. Had that scene been kept in, it would not only have been one of the only funny moments of the PT (I'm not counting Jar-Jar or all the fart jokes), but it would also have established Anakin and Obi-Wan's friendship. 

A shame - that scene ending up on the cutting room floor really shows George's priorities these days.

I thought that was terrible.

This scene frustrates me because it comes very close to being good, yet the delivery of the lines are still somewhat awkward and stilted. It's like the actors were slowly remembering how to act after having their ability destroyed by Lucas' "direction"!

Actually, my favorite scene in the entire PT, hands down, is the deleted scene of the little girls playing with R2.  The only damn scene in three movies with any heart, and it gets cut.

The deleted scenes with Padme's family are like the deleted scenes with Biggs and the Tosche Station gang - they help flush out a character a little more. In Star Wars we don't really need them; the Binary Sunset scene and prior dinner scene are all we need to understand Luke's frustrations and motivations. But in Clones such scenes are badly needed.

I don't think you meant what you said here, though it seems strangely appropriately.

 They could have used those scenes to replace any number of the horrible Naboo scenes ("You are in my very soul.  TORMENTING me.")

Oh well, I stopped watching that movie years ago when I did my own edit.

I never uploaded them.  They were done using a few other fan edits as a basis.  I'm sure there's better fan edits out there. :)
