Last night I worked on a sample video that tests out reordering/trimming Padmé’s deleted scenes to give her a clearer involvement with the early Alliance. In the films it just builds up to the Petition of 2000 scene, which goes nowhere, but if you put that scene first, and then have the senators react to Palpatine ignoring their request to make no further constitutional amendments, I think it adds more importance to those scenes. Also, for both Anakin and Padmé it sows seeds of doubt in each other’s loyalty earlier on in the film and adds hints of doubt and deception in their following scenes together.
I think these changes could really fit well with having Padmé stand up to Anakin at the end of the film like in your test clip. I think the first two deleted scenes could actually be trimmed a little more, but this is the minimal of what needs to be trimmed to make the restructure work. I put title cards to show what scenes should go before and after them, based off the theatrical order of scenes. There’s also a little Easter egg in the last scene in the clip…
