Padme was cut down because Natalie Portman was asking for more money than George wanted to give her, so I wouldn’t be surprised if most of this plotline went unfilmed.
Wait, really? Where did you hear that?
I guess I’m making assumptions. In 2017 there was a leak of an earlier draft of Revenge of the Sith where Padme had a much bigger role, but was cut down because Natalie Portman was asking for more money. Happened before with Anthony Daniels in ESB. But I don’t actually know that that has anything to do with the deleted scenes, or that anything from that draft was filmed, so I shouldn’t have made that assumption.
