I know it’s a bit wonky but the sparing sequences in Episode 5 of OB1 seem like a better introduction to adolescent Anakin than the elevator scene in AOTC. This show might be lacking in some ways but it and The Mandaloran might serve as additional material for PT edits.
I think we could keep both scenes. The only thing we have to do is organizing the scenes this way:
- Attempt on Padmé’s life
- Obi-Wan and Anakin training duel
- Padmé facing the Senate (deleted scene)
- Padmé speaking with the Jedi and Palpatine
- Elevator scene
