Ok I missed something in both my viewings of the final film. The second time I watched I specifically watched the background scenes for her but didn't find her. Where the hell was Mon Mothma?! She's supposed to be in the movie! The official site said so! The Visual Dictionary said so! I've seen pictures of her! Was she cut?
Yeah! I heard them talk about her (or maybe I was reading a review or something...don't know) but I didn't see her! Granted, I've only seen the movie once and don't remember alot of details. I was wondering that too though!
Yes, Mon Mothma was cut from the theatrical release. But supposedly she will be in the DVD extra footage (Not sure if it'll be Deleted scene section or the in a "director's Cut" style). She was cast, filmed, put in a lot of Literature (Visual Dictionary, novel, Etc.) and even had an Action figure made for her.
She is supposed to be part of the Senatorial Entourage that meets Palpatine when he is safely returned after being kidnapped. I believe she can be seen at the rear of the group as they approach the Chancellor as he gets off the transport. Look next to the "Betty" droids. I have seen it ten times so far and the scene goes by so fast that it's really hard to fully take it all in.
Eleven as of Friday. Look in the area that I described above. She's there but you really have to look. The scene pans over the group so fast that if you don't look in the right place at the right time, you will certainly miss her. She is dressed in the white robe but do not confuse her with the alien also dressed in white.
I know I am. I've seen him in Atlanta and Indy so far. Third times' the charm. I'd like to see him this fall in NYC too. We'll see how the schedule looks.
Wow, sounds like fun! I haven't seen it and won't be able to tomorrow because I'm stuck working from 2-9
