Ah, I see what you’re saying. That’s a good point. Though I don’t think it has to be before the Palpatine deleted scene, does it? Basically, once the Petition of 2000 fails to make a difference with Palpatine, that’s when the Senators take it a step further. They agree to keep it a secret, but Padmé does try to talk to Anakin about it but he deflects the topic. So, the next time we see Padmé she suggests talking to a Jedi she trusts, which makes us think she isn’t talking about Anakin. And then basically you would end that scene not with Bail saying no, and just leaving the possibility she will in the air.

I’ve laid out the scene orders for both the theatrical and Hal’s restructured version, and then I’ve laid out two optional structures with the Padmé scenes rearranged.

Theatrical
Pregnant
Grievous
Balcony
Nightmare
Yoda’s Advice
Briefing
Anakin’s Appointment
You’re on this council…
Spy on Chancellor
Gunship conversation
Sound like a sep
Opera
Kashyyyk/Utupau discovery
Goodbye old friend
Second dream, visiting Padmé
Obi-Wan arrives

Hal’s Edit
I’m Pregnant
Briefing
Palpatine Appoints Anakin
Jedi discuss
On this council
First Padmé scene
Spy on Chancellor
A prophecy misread
Sound like a sep
Grievous makes a call
Anakin’s nightmare (doesn’t tell padme)
Opera
Kashyyyk
Second Padmé scene
Goodbye old friend
Third Padmé scene
Obi-Wan on Utupau

Option #1
I’m Pregnant
Balcony

Nightmare
Briefing
Palpatine appoints Anakin
Yoda, Mace & Obi meeting
Not a Master
Spy on Chancellor
Third Padmé deleted scene
Gunship conversation
First Padmé deleted scene
(Possibly “Sounding like a sep”)
Opera
Second Padmé deleted scene
Kashyyyk
Goodbye old friend
Anakin visits Padme “Obi-Wan’s been here?”
Obi arrives at Utupau

Option #2

Obi-Wan on Utupau

I think if you were to to try to put it in your ROTS, hypothetically, Dom, you could just swap the first deleted scene with third, the second with the first, and then put the second deleted scene inbetween “You’re sounding like a seperatist” and the Kashyyyk scene, with maybe some type of Coruscant establishing shot to create a buffer between those two Coruscant scenes to maybe imply time has passed and it’s the next day.
