Whoa! I didn't notice that you had posted that, russs15! Thanks a bundle! I figured I would just keep the Senator's aids as they are on the DVD. As for Watto's "Sebulba!," though, I thought they left that intact on the DVD's extended podrace lap two deleted scene. Or was that a totally different shot? Damn it, I wish I hadn't thrown away my TPM VHS back in the day. After doing some research, though, I think the shots we are discussing are the only ones unique to the theatrical version. Am I right?

I'm putting the finishing touches on TPM with the scenes reinserted. Once that's finished, I'm going to scour that DVD for tiny snippets that weren't in the main feature. I'm using T'bone's phenomenal Cut Scenes guide as a heads up for what might be there. Unfortunately, most of those articles were completed before the DVD was released, so it doesn't say if they're there or not. So far, there's at least four short clips I'm looking for:

1.) An unfinished CGI shot of Jar Jar eating a clam before seeing the Federation ships moving his way.
2.) Jar Jar knocking over, catching, and trying to balance a series of containers in Watto's shop.
3.) A shot of a Naboo Starfighter spinning out of control (presumably after being hit).
4.) A brief clip from the Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan/Maul lightsaber fight (I might not include this, as their location might be on an alternate path than that shown in the final version).

Again, if I'm missing anything, let me know! This is actually pretty fun.
