The scene about Palpatine planting seeds of doubt in Anakin about Padme would make his sudden jealousy about Obi-Wan make so much more sense

You're right and I 100% agree. I think it was because George Lucas was very afraid ROTS might get bumped from PG13 to rated R if he'd kept any more political scenes or had more characters getting killed/maimed on screen than the amount in the final cut. EX: Shaak ti's execution was cut in large part for this reason.

i think they cut it because originally Padme was going to attempt to kill Anakin on Mustafar. so him being suspicious of her made sense. but i guess since they changed the ending for Padme, they cut the scene, it didnt make sense for Anakin to distrust Padme cause his whole reason for becoming Vader was to try to save Padme from her death

honestly, I'm glad they didn't, simply because there's too much to include for it to all be coherent. Padme's entire POV of the end of the clone wars is incredibly massive; there were all kinds of angles they just wouldn't have been able to keep in the movie, without either removing other critical scenes, or lengthening the run time of the movie way too much. Her side plots needed to be part of EU, either through the show, novels, the games, or online lore.

@@hobomike6935 I have to respectfully disagree. A lot of people, including me, have not seen the Clone Wars or read the books. So Padme's plotline in episode 3 comes off looking clunky as hell, and makes her and Anakin suddenly turning against each other not make sense in the slightest. Some of the dumb droid scenes that made it into the movie could have been cut to include Padme's scenes, or the runtime could have simply been lengthened to include it all.

There was so much potential for the prequels. Though theyve grown on me, the way Lucas directed the acting always telling Hayden how to portray Anakin I believe is the reason for the initial cold response. They made him so disobedient and angry in AOTC's and then quite likable amd loyal in ROTS before he quickly turns to a child killer. Just better paceing. Showing them as The Team first, and build the resentment, the fear, then the eventual fall. The stories had so potential.

[@nerdock4747]

The other challenge is: A TON of stuff happens off-screen in the prequels, they "tell" instead of "show" a lot, which is automatically disengaging for the audience. AoTc does this a lot as well. Come to think of it, Phantom Menace does mostly "show", which is great.

0:39 THIS is the grevious we deserved. A jedi-slaughtering droid, losing the war anyway, so he just kills. I think that’s what Lucas intended.. Yes, he’s a coward. That is part of his character because he retreats a lot, but when he gets his hands on a jedi, this is the kind of thing that happens🔪🗡

[@trevorbyrd1578]

Fun fact most of these scenes are in the novelization by Matthew Stover

[@quex213]

Realistically thinking, after watching these scenes as an adult now , I think that even if Padme lived and Anakin didn't burn, they would have almost definitely become enemies. Padme, although she truly loves Anakin, has an enough of a strong will and character to protect her kids from the emperor's evil and even their father, I think she wouldn't take any compromise when it comes to the children. Also, I truly believe that Padme would be on of the, if not the main pillar, that the Rebellion would be built on because she really has a potential of a great leader( plus a brave one at that) who has the vision of what she is fighting for and is able to see the bigger picture. Anakin on the other hand, would want to eliminate ( he eventually really did want that) everything that he hated and that has oppressed him, including scheming and corrupt politicians that play with innocent people's lives, severe punishment to criminals like murderers and god forbid slave traders or the sort, and last but not least - the jedi order ( no matter where I look from, it really seems inevitable, and personally, I kinda think they deserved it). Which will eventually turn him to a younger and more powerful version of the emperor, just as the man himself had forseen, and an enemy to democracy, freedom and most of all- Padme.

[@Dark_Voice]

Anakin eliminate Padme? You must be joking. Padme would probably bring him back to the light faster than Luke ever could.

[@quex213]

@@Dark_Voice I never said Anakin eliminating Padme. You either misread or misunderstood

[@Mi_Anakin_Skywaker]

If padme was alive, she could've brought Anakin back to light. But when you think about it, it's really the fear of losing her made Anakin turn to dark side. So his turn was really inevitable, it forms a paradox, if you think.

[@usernameunk]

@@Mi_Anakin_Skywaker yup, whole reason for shifting was to get the dark sided power to keep her alive since he kept having those dreams, he was stuck in his misery when he found out she died, as that was his last wish and now he no longer had any reason to convert nor change nor will to really go on. just anger, resentment, and pain which = vader especially being a slave under palpatine. doesn’t help that he ruined his life as “anakin” so even if he switched back, his comrads are dead, the world he knew is gone, and his wife his one love in the world was gone. i thought with the way mace and the council treated him they definitely made it so easy for him to be seduced by the chancellor, i mean literally the last interaction with mace he tries doing good and turning in palpatine but he denied him which was the last nail in the coffin

[@juanjodpr]

The seed of doubt Palpatine established on Anakin tespect to Padre could be seen here. Slowly he started to doubt her and the way Padme confirmed Palpatine was basically a tyrant already...that meeting in the afternoon really was foreshadowing the horrors of the future.

[@TheSheriff1873]

All these scenes should’ve been included. Especially the scenes with padme and the other senators who are forming the beginning of what we know to be the rebellion

[@thomasharvey1151]

I’m glad they deleted the Stirring in the Senate scene. Every hat in that scene is atrocious. Would have ruined the whole movie. I can see it..Anakin and Obi Wan’s duel..”Why Anakin? Why did you turn to the dark side?” Hats. It was the hats. I can’t take the damn hats the Senators wear anymore. In my new Empire, there will be no more of those stupid hats. “You were the Chosen One!” Yes..I was chosen. Chosen to rid the Galaxy of all the ridiculous hats! I hate them!

[@Caricature80]

ALL of this should have been left in for storyline purposes. If it was a time issue, there are other moments or scenes that could have been trimmed or left out in favor of these.

[@austingregoryk]

All these scenes would have been perfect in elaborating the story of the rebellion, while building the momentum towards the tragedy that precursors A New Hope. Really enjoyed the humor on the Invisible Hand ship scenes as well, as it felt reminiscent to humor in the Original Saga.

[@dragontear1000]

Omg as i see Palpatine and Anakin stands behind him like this they look like two Sith lords.

[@TheLyricsGuy]

Imagine thinking you're going to be in a Star Wars movie and it's a deleted scene.

[@baronvonpiano7625]

I personally think Yoda moving to Dagobah should’ve been kept in, with maybe a shot seeing the view of Dagobah over his shoulder, cut back to him sighing again and walking off the ship, then cut to credits.

[@j-money1354]

They're not deleted in my mind...They feel in the gaps of "treachery" Palpatine sells to the Senate and to Anakin..

Obi-wan

[@gargaritaladybug6997]

At first, Obi and Anakin's relationship seems way better, the way they communicate by gestures...instead the lack of this scene leaves the impression that they never became friends, that they never understood each other and that hatred had been there to stay for years, waiting to explode. Instead this shows Palparine broke a beautiful friendship, which had some cracks in it, but had also grew up with them.

[@garretthorsch8143]

People are more willing to sit and watch a 3 or 4+ hour movie now than they were then. So I really wish all of the prequels were longer and had extended editions like the lord of the rings do. I also feel like at the time if streaming services would’ve been more used and available all of these actors would have agreed to make the clone wars TV show live action. Don’t get me wrong I like these movies and I like the animated clone wars series but think about how awesome a live action series would’ve been. I like movies but a series like that could’ve had so much more to watch and so much more context for everything in the clone wars era. That all being said I think most long time star wars fans can agree the disneys sequel trilogy was god awful. George Lucas literally laid out the story for them and it sounded incredible. Instead they went their own direction and destroyed good characters. If you don’t know what Lucas’s story was you should look it up. It would’ve been awesome. I wish lucas would’ve put the plans in the selling contract. Disney didn’t have a plan at all. They just made stuff up as they went and tried to capitalize on nostalgia while also ruining the nostalgic characters. I will say that they at least saw how much people hated their sequel trilogy so the shows on disney plus have been better. They hired good directors and got the hell out of the way. Course, who knows if that will last. Maybe I shouldn’t complain but I also care about the universe and respect it. Unlike Kathleen Kennedy at disney.

[@viktorija.jankauskaite]

Actually I love Disney in everyhing except Star Wars. It angers me so much. And I also think that the piece of art is as it is when created by the artist, in this case, Star Wars moraly belong to George Lucas. Everything that's coming not from him or his team is just other people's interpretation. And we can choose not to accept the interpretation.

[@detroitcoffeeartdetroit6502]

The Padme/Mon Mothma/ Bail Organa scenes are about 6 minutes in length, for a 140 minute movie Going into the showing these scenes had a lot of press for being deleted scenes, to the point audiences wondered what happened to them

The bit where they're climbing the shaft sounds like the old 60s James Bond action sequence music.

Wow some of these scenes are an incredible segue into later movies and shows that have to do with the rebellion. Even the actress who plays Mon Mothma (one of the key figures of the rebellion) is the same that played her in Rogue One and the Andor series. I wish they weren’t cut out, but glad we can watch them now. Good stuff.

Lucasfilm should definitely release an extended cut of Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith with all those Padmé scenes in Naboo with her family and with the senators, that really adds a lot to her character and her motivations. Instead of green lighting crap content like the Rey movie, they should do this. Revenge of the Sith is probably the most important SW film (obviously after ANH) but in terms of how important ROTS is to the whole 6 movie saga it wouldn't hurt to have an extended cut with more scenes that develop the characters more.

I think the assumption was he was a Sith Lord's puppet, they just expected if he were a Sith Lord himself they would have felt it.

Mace was correct it was Yoda's lack of action that was allowing Sidious to continue on. The other Jedi followed Yoda's lead including Mace but he at least warned them more then once about Palpatine, Anakin, and the potential threats to the order.

Are you serious? Mace was 89 percent the problem. I cheer every time Anakin chops his arm off and Palpy sends his sorry self flying. He deserved it. Yoda was being a coward, giving the benefit of the doubt to the council.

@@jho2255 No, Palpatine and Anakin were more responsible then anyone, during the CW Anakin multiple used the darkside, and this was Palpatines intentions that Anakin would see the darker side of things and join him. Palpatine manipulates, Mace protected, and even once told Palpatine to leave Anakin alone which makes sense as he told the council something wasn't right about Palpatine. Mace only mistake was waiting so long to move against Palpatine who gained to much power by the time they tried forcibly kick him out of office.
