I love it! Although rightfully cut quite unecessary...

Agreed. In fact, I believe Adywan mentioned never seriously considering actually putting it in revisited. I think he made it as kind of a concept of what he could potentially do with the scene, with Jar Jar thrown in as a joke. I like the idea behind it, not the Jar Jar bit, but seeing the destruction from a more detailed point of view, including the perspective of someone on the planet surface. Adds emphasis to the fact that a whole planet of people just died, and brings you closer to Obi-Wan's reaction. The destruction of this planet is a huge event, that is basically forgotten after a few seconds of screen time.
