Also, there was apparently a plot thread that got dropped late into the scriptwriting stage of ROTS where Anakin would (wrongly) start to suspect Padme and Obi-Wan were having an affair. It was the right decision to cut it, but you can still feel vestiges of it in the shooting script, when Anakin suspects Obi-Wan has been in Padme’s apartment and when he declares “You’re with him!” on Mustafar.
Interestingly enough, I’ve wanted to cut out Padme’s line about Obi-Wan visiting, but haven’t found a way to cut it successfully without causing some continuity issues. Still, someone thought it would be a good idea to throw an implied affair into this movie? Geez, that’s crazy even for Lucas.
Anyway, I’ve been busy with a bunch of other tasks, so I still haven’t gotten around to finding a good placement for the deleted scenes. Right now, I’m thinking of placing all three of them before Obi-Wan says goodbye to Anakin, since I’m still convinced about Padme suggesting Obi-Wan. Where the scenes should be placed now, however, is the tricky part.
