The deleted scenes with Padme's family are like the deleted scenes with Biggs and the Tosche Station gang - they help flush out a character a little more. In Star Wars we don't really need them; the Binary Sunset scene and prior dinner scene are all we need to understand Luke's frustrations and motivations. But in Clones such scenes are badly needed.
They could have used those scenes to replace any number of the horrible Naboo scenes ("You are in my very soul. TORMENTING me.")
Oh well, I stopped watching that movie years ago when I did my own edit.
