Yep, there was a subplot where Padme and Obi-Wan had grown increasingly closer throughout the movie and Palpatine had convinced Anakin that they were falling for each other behind his back.
There was also tension between Padme and Anakin as she was very influencial in founding the rebellion against Palpatine.
As Anakin got more paranoid, he drove Padme further and further away from himself and toward Obi-Wan. Sort of a self fufilling prophecy, not unlike her death.
That's why Anakin flips out with the whole:
"Liar!" "You brought him here to kill me!" "You turned her against me!" "You will not take her from me!"
That whole series of scenes is something I really hope makes the dvd (and it probably will judging from EP II's dvd).


That makes the line "Obi-Wan was here, wasn't he?" make a lot more sense. I was a little confused why he would be so mad/worried about it, because at that point he's done nothing wrong. If that whole subplot can be put back into FotR, then it should be. That could add alot more emotion to the ending fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan, and help explain his turn to dark side even more. And Shaak Ti should be put back in. She's awesome, and I was dissapointed when she wasn't even in the movie.
