So, Anakin throws an absolute fit about his mother dying and that’s it?
Essentially. Your intentions of removing the scene are quite legit, but I personally feel that re-cutting the scene to make Padmé suspect that something may have happened to him while he was away, while also foreshadowing Anakin’s eventual fall to the Dark Side. Despite that, she still wants to help Anakin over the pain he has endured. That’s just how I would personally re-shape the garage scene.
There’s nothing wrong with removing a scene that doesn’t work, it’s your edit. I just think the scene would work better in that format to come off as believable.
In reality, this is how the scene in Attack of the Clones would’ve played out.
