While I was doing a bit of research for something, I stumbled upon this website that has a long list of Padme-related trivia.
One interesting thing that’s included is this little tidbit of information…
Natalie Portman allegedly filmed a scene for Episode III during Episode II photography at Lake Como, but it was never used. This behind-the-scenes image is the only evidence:
I have never heard about this before. From what I recall, parts of the final scene of Revenge of the Sith, with Owen and Beru, were also filmed during Episode II’s production with intent of later use for Episode III, so that wouldn’t be completely unheard of. I don’t have a source to back that up, just what I’ve heard in the past.
Does anyone have anymore information about this “unused” scene?
