Bingowings said:There is still a lot of unused and deleted material that as yet has never seen the light of day.
I think the scene is a good one it could be trimmed a bit but Padme needs more screen time in ROTS she is far too passive a character in the theatrical cut and it is difficult to feel the tragedy of her death when she is such an absent presence.
After some scene rearranging, I might be able to keep that scene after all - I placed the "Padme in Palpatine's Office" scene just after Obi-Wan starts chasing Grevious and drops his lightsaber. I also moved the "Anakin confronts Palpatine" scene to just after Obi-Wan defeats Grevious, which is then followed by Anakin going straight to Mace to tell him about Palpatine being a Sith lord (so he's not waiting around forever before he talks to Mace about the Sith threat).
