That's the thing though isn't?
In AOTC the refugees are leaving Coruscant for Naboo, not the other way around.
Which is why I thought it would be people returning home after the chaos of the events in TPM (which should be much darker in a reworked version).
It's not conveyed well though that refugees are leaving Coruscant, or even that there are many refugees at all. That whole ship depot should be chuck full of people fleeing war and either settling on Coruscant, or returning to resettle their homeworlds.
You know what might be cool? To show them returning to Naboo and have bombed out buildings in the background in the city. It would also add some seriousness to that whole Annie/Padme sequence. Would also tie in with atrocities committed by the TF in TPM.
But what I really like about the OT is that, at least with the first two films, there were new worlds and new situations.
In the PT we have so much retread it continues the trend started with ROTJ. Naboo....again. Coruscant....again. Tatooine...again.
Even Geonosis and Tatooine look alike in too many ways IMHO.
