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?
You don’t have to, but it might be odd for Anakin to see Padme openly confront the chancellor, then be surprised after to hear her air grievances with him in private (though of course what is discussed in the scenes aren’t exactly the same).
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.
It’d be a little complicated with my edit, especially as I’ve excised the second scene entirely. The other thing I’m weary about is that section of the film feeling to jumpy from scene to scene with little connective tissue between them. This is a problem with the theatrical ROTS, and honestly most fan edits have only made this aspect worse (in my opinion, though of course I think they’ve on the whole improved the film). I’ve put a lot of thought into how I’ve structured that section, and while the way I have it now is by no means set in stone, I’d definitely have to do some real thinking on this possibility before chancing an implementation. I do really like where your head’s at on this idea, though.
