    I'm just curious I was watching the AOTC deleted scenes and does anyone else like the scene when they are at padme's house? I personally think it should of been in in the movie. Do y'all?

    I reckon it should have been in the movie, yeah. It makes the romance a bit more believable, and gives the characters some warmth that I found in AOTC was lacking. AOTC really got butchered in editing, it had so much more potential.
    Another good one is the extended arrival on Naboo, it's the only time Anakin really references growing up between the prequels, Anakin and Padme's characterisation could have benefited from stuff like this. The scene in Padme's bedroom is interesting, kind of adds a melancholy moment to the film.

    I agree with you. They should of developed their relationship A LOT more and not focus on the action as a whole and not take out those scenes. And the romance is it is unbelievably cheese.

    Is it wrong for me to think any scene in Padme's bedroom is interesting? Oh yeah, I went there.

    I think Attack of the Clones simply tried to tell too much. The end result has a good balance of all the major points, but left many great scenes on the cutting room floor.

    The coverage of the Anakin/Padmé relationship onscreen was adequate, but those additional scenes add much more believability to it. Though as it stands, the pacing of AOTC was iffy, and those scenes certainly wouldn't help. It's all a tradeoff.

    Lol I've made a similar joke that only Lucas would name a scene "Padme's bedroom" and not expect it to imply any dirty meaning.

    I think they should had cut all that romance out of the movie. And give the screen time to EXPLOSIONS and SAMUEL JACKSON Lines about Snakes on a Plane

    AOTC is the most personal of the PT emphasising the Saga characteristic of SW, ie: it is a story is about a family.
    I would have really loved to have had the Padme family deleted scenes added to AOTC when the DVD was released (in the way the air taxi scene was added to TPM).

    Yes. For the same reason I felt they should have kept the "Birth of the Rebellion" scenes in ROTS. It really humanized Padme's character more. Also felt the Biggs/Luke scenes in Anchorhead should have been kept in ANH for that same reason, but that's another topic...

    Read Tag and Bink: Revenge of the Clone Menace for an explanation of how this worked. Haha

    It was one of the more entertaining Infinities comics, yes.

    I would love to see this scene in the actual film. Would have helped sell the moment where Padme tells Anakin that she truly, deeply, loves him.

    I must confess that I love Attack of the Clones (I think I even ranked it 3rd in the Favorite to least favorite thread). That being said, I still feel some of the plot elements didn't have enough time to fully develop. The love story between Anakin & Padme could use some additional screen-time (the bedroom scene is a good example) to strengthen things out a bit. Half of the deleted scenes show Padme trying to convince herself that their relationship is strictly professional, when it really isn't. The finished movie doesn't show that, it mostly just centers on Anakin endlessley courting Padme, while not explaining her motives to stay emotionally detached. Well, just my view anyway.

    And while we're on the deleted scenes subject, these are two of my favourites:
    Jedi Temple Deleted Scene
    Senate Deleted Scene

    AotC should have been longer because it's dealing with the most complex plot in the saga. That's why some people don't seem to connect with it, which is definitely the result of some poor editing (and acting+CGI, though this can be debatable).

    I think that it should have too as it was a nice scene with Padme telling Anakin about her life

    Still hoping they will release a SE of the PT with these scenes put back in.

    The necessity of the Obi Wan scene is debatable, as pretty much all of that info is relayed again at Dex's diner, however that Senate scene really, really needed to be in the film. The conflict regarding the security bill is a great little piece of political commentary that is totally brushed over in the finished film. Also, I think less people would have complained about the senate scenes if this had been in there to give those scenes a direct, easy to follow purpose.

    The deleted scenes should never have been released. That's what I think.

    Why the heck not? I'm always particularly interested in the deleted scenes, because I want to see what was left out and what were some of the other possibilities considered by the film-makers.

    Yeah, I agree completely. Especially about the Senate scene.

    Because once you start thinking "I wish they'd left that in", you have a problem, which is that you begin to focus on what the film isn't instead of taking it for what it is.
    AOTC could've been a thousand different things, but it ended up being what GL decided that it should be and that's where I believe the viewer's attention should remain.
    I'm sure the film would've been awesome if GL had found a satisfying way to include some of the deleted scenes (which I agree are great), but as far as I'm concerned, they should just be ignored, since they aren't in the film.





    - If they haven't included you in their plot, they soon will.

    I do not recall that Senate scene being among the deleted scenes in the VHS (should probably also get a DVD of TPM and AotC sometime :lol: ), I thought that scene would have been really beneficial to all those other boring Senate scenes. The tongue flick with the silly rubber sound effect from Mas Amedda I could without, though.
