Yeah, you should get rid of the bedroom scene, TM. "They couldn't adapt, and they all died..." just does nothing to help the story. I'm not sure what kind of point Lucas was trying to make with this scene, something about Padme's alien friends not being able to adapt physically to a new environment mirroring Anakin's inability to adapt emotionally to a new situation... Whatever. Obviously, Lucas didn't know either, which is why he cut it. And why it should stay cut. I've seen it used in other edits, and it's distracting and truly pointless. Unless you can do something with a dialogue fix to make it somehow poignant or profound. Though, I don't see that happening, since Padme is doing most (if not all) of the talking.

And TM, Darth Richard makes a good point, have you put any more thought/made a decision on how/if to incorporate Maul=Greivous into the film in some small way? Is that a possibility that's still on the table, or have we jettisoned that idea?
