Agreed. That was one of the key inspirations to work on these cuts. They actually help the rest of the film flow more naturally and help fill in some nice gaps in both character and lore without making the film overly long, I feel, at least not by modern standards.
@@mokoiakerehoma623 Totally, and streamline the kissing scene into an actual romance (No talking after Padmé says "I love the water.") And I would rather have these than Yoda embarrassing Obi-Wan in front of a group of children.
Blame the studios!!! Some of this deleted scenes of Anakin and Padmé are better than the one we got, if we left the first kiss and rearrange theyre deleted scenes man that kiss in Geonosis Arena is much more Natural
fr it makes her and anakins relationship more meaningful and its so nice to see more into padme’s life outside of anakin. such a shame they cut these scenes :(
Agreed. But seeing as George Lucas went back and created that whole droid factory sequence, after living with a fully shot script for quite a while, suggests he was afraid the movie was short on action. And so the most important plot point - the romance - was sacrificed for a boring and way too dragged out action scene. I'm not suggesting a space romcom, but you have to make a romance believable or skip it altogether. Otherwise you end up with the involuntary comedy that is Ep 2.
George really should have gone back and tinkered with these a bit more. The scene with Padme’s parents/sister and the extended conversation between Anakin and Padme when they arrive in Theed flow so good and inject more subtlety into their relationship.
I actually loved AOTC despite its obvious problems back in the day, but it truly is clear that they had the makings of a good story but made some bad decisions in the editing process. Adding these 10 minutes back in does so much more to open the film up to better context and storytelling even without removing some of the more problematic parts.
@@MechaSalesman Adding those 10 minutes would have made it a top 4 film for me. Because I just love the prequel era, just so many small mistakes dragging it down. Probably the best cast, plot, and characters. But there are obvious script, editing, and directing issues that could have been avoided.
@@Tonycillian5 Agreed. The overall story arc was never really a big issue. It's the execution of some details that made it lack luster compared to the original. Still I've never had any difficulty going back to it and enjoy it repeatedly.
Padme actually doing politics and being impassioned is amazing The scene with the Dooku bust was absolutely necessary, actually telling us about Dooku and showing us what he looks like Anakin and Padme just carrying luggage is a wonderful bit of chemistry-building Actually seeing the Jedi hangar bay introduces a Chekov's Gun for Anakin to jump into his speeder later, when he kills Windu Actually seeing homes is something rare in Star Wars, outside of maybe the Lars hut. And seeing Padme's family, learning more about her, seeing how close she is with her family
I’ll defend Lucas for the Dooku head bust it was rewarding upon a recent viewing that his bust was in the Final Cut. From a visual standpoint it shows the respect that the temple’s people had for Dooku which was later named as the busts of Jedi defectors. I think to Lucas it would spill the beans too quickly if he had given insight on the existence of Dooku and the separatists. A political idealist who wouldn’t kill would be out of place for an ex Jedi.
@@PrisonMike196That's basically like saying Palpatine didn't kill Windu, he only shot lightning at him and sent him flying out the window. They both killed Windu together.
In Clone Wars the potilical side of the war is waaaay more developed and give more deepness to Padmé character than just the "defenceless princess". It's sad Natile Portman never had the opportunity to show that side of Amídala.
@@doomsdayrabbit4398 So Luke has 20% of Padme him and 80% of Anakin in him and Leia has 90% of Padme and 10% of Anakin in her. Making them very typical for each one of their role.
It's interesting to she how the views of council and obiwan shift to opposite ends in ROTS; Obi-Wan is impatient with Anakin and has doubt with him overall yet the council pretty much tell him to give him time and that he's the chosen one... Then in ROTS Obi-Wan fully respects Anakin's way of going about things yet the council have severe doubts about him and feel he's progressing go quickly
@@Kissteria595 it is really interesting. The Clone Wars really inverted things. I think the war forged a stronger bond between Anakin and Obi Wan, a bond that blinded Obi Wan to the path Anakin was already starting to go down. The war also made the Jedi order lose its way even more, to the point of becoming paranoid and suspicious.
@@Markeyssc I think Anakin actually started his way down AFTER gradually becoming aware that the council doesn't trust him. If the council chose to show more faith in him it would do so much more help for Anakin since he would know there would be someone to rely on when he needed a way out, which would make him less desperate to search for means to save Padme through unusual methods.
Actually i think anakin obeyed more before padme, and became more and more rebellious and reckless during the clone wars. That's why mace lost faith in him, while obiwan saw him becoming a great jedi that actually cared and disagrred with the council (maybe it reminded him of qui gon)
And that Anakin was happy actually hearing her talk about her nieces and seeing them with R2. It makes him see that Padme really wants a family but also why he wasn’t ready to be a father but would do it for the love of his life.
All this Padme stuff is really good and would've fixed the romance plot so much. The fact George had filmed so much good material that never made it to the final cut makes me think he was afraid this was too boring or not 'Star Warsy' enough for the casual moviegoers.
That’s fair to think that. Kid me would have hated these scenes though. Now I’m older and while I like these scenes, I kinda understand why George cut them from the movir
That's because fans complained about "too much politics" in episode 1. It makes perfect sense why Lucas felt pressured to cut those scenes. And if they'd actually been released, most of those fans would have whined about that too.
That actually happened. The casual viewers complained there wasn't enough lightsaber action. Star Wars has a lot to do with politics and complots unfortunately too complex for the target audience.
They should had kept the scenes between Anakin and Padme, with the extra context it explains perfectly why they eventually fell in love instead of Anaking coming of as creepy and Padme as needy for attention.
Padme doesn't work as well here since she does come off as needy for validation, she doesn't let Anakin speak and berates him at the Naboo council when his opinion was asked for specifically.
@@nemou4985 That's actually what happens in the novel, which probably worked off the original script. And in the novel, further scenes also make it understandable on Padmé's end. She is just a headstrong individual who has a habit of wanting to take charge of her own security. She has similar arguments with both Captain Panaka and Typho in the novel as well. So she was a bit too hasty and cuts Anakin off when he was asked specifically to speak.
@@anarcho-pingu Him being nervous kind of makes sense? A bunch of powerful people want to see his daughter dead, and he's discussing that with her not-boyfriend.
I find it upsetting and quite depressing padmes family seems like they would wholly and fully accept Anakin if he walked away from the order to be with her kind of makes me wish he did just run off with her and the fact that Luke and Leia never met their mothers side of the family just feels like a crime to me
That beginning scene where Padme speaks against that war in the senate made the latter plot have so much sense. Of course Palpatine had to find a way to get her out of the way in order to put his plans in motion. With Padme being there, the vote will most likely result in negotiation rather than violence. When both assassinations as a mean of discouragement failed, Palpatine resorted to getting her off world. Her being there is literally the biggest nail in the shoe for Palpatine. The scene also helped establish her character a lot and can be connected to her other speech in the Clone Wars series where she speaks against further expanding the Clone army.
I disagree. The Trade Federation was already suspected of being a member of the CIS. They had a vast Droid army. Having an army is a huge advantage in negotiations. Negotiations for peace are not going to work if one side is militarily stronger. The stronger side has no reason to negotiate if they are strong enough to simply take what they want. Besides having an army may be necessary if negotiations fail.
It's OK but I prefer that an army was possible rather than discussed in the Senate right from the start, it's hard to believe Padme would go offplanet. And it's weird that Padme believed the assassination attempt was because she was anti-army but also was from Dooku.
In the end, that's why I made the Extended Cut. Get the file, play it on a 4K screen, and feel like you're watching the movie again for the first time in a new light.
@@MechaSalesman I'm not sure if the trial scene really needed to be there, but these are pretty great. I'm especially partial to any scene with Dooku in it
Yeah, I doubt it would have hurt the film to have all these scenes reinserted. The film may have just been 2.5 hours long. Not too far out there for the Original Lucas 6.
@@sambascom2884 length is only part of it. I'd argued that a bigger part is how they play with the other scenes and affect the pacing. A scene can be fine in isolation but really slow down the overall film, which I could see for a lot of these.
All of these Padme scenes should have been kept in. They completely flesh out her character, showing the person she is, and the motivations she has. The final cut of AotC has some of the most stilted dialogue, especially between Padme and Anakin. But these scenes have such a natural flow to them, especially within the context of the rest of the movie. I'm sure these scenes were cut due to time constraints, which I think is a shame, specifically for Padme's character. I think for me, the knowing look of Padme's mom when they are discussing Anakin is just *chef's kiss*. In general, Padme and Anakin's build up to their relationship would have been so much more impactful if those scenes were as nuanced as some of these scenes.
@9:26 I wish they kept this scene in Shows a lot more of Padme’s connections and compassion for others Definitely see where Leia’s big heart came from too
@@wienczysawwiaderko6204 honestly I think Luke has shown more of having a bigger heart then leia I mean just like Padme he never gave up on his father and believed that he was still inside
@@alexmason2659 I think both kids take after their parents. Leia is a politician and a fighter who stands against social injustice and is aware of the misery and poverty in the galaxy, much like Padme, whereas Luke is a man of action and great altruism and compassion who wishes to use his power to help others in need, much like Anakin (at least before Anakin started craving for power and becoming corrupted).
@@marianoyuba3736 well at first I don't think Anakin cared much for the power and more about saving Padme after Padme I think power was really the only thing left he had to gain until Luke showed up in his life
I really liked this extended version, it improved the movie a lot for me. It helps make clear that the reason why Padmé decides to kiss Anakin when he's just gotten over his awkwardness is because of her impulsiveness.
She said this but actually she had already feelings for him. She was always in denial because of their commitments. Only in Geonosis she understood she can't longer live in this situation because she was dying inside. She truly, deeply loves Anakin after some time with him. Their bond was something they weren't used to it. So their time together in Naboo was great, because they were themselves.
Well... he ISN'T her boyfriend? And they saw each other for, what, days (?) when he and she were a child and barely a teenager? Lmao. Why do people always joke that Anakin is always getting snubbed by Padmé lmao?
That's why I want more people to see the extended film cut as it exists now. It really does recontexualize much about Episode II's story and character development, especially for Padme's side of things. She got the short end of the stick in both II and III when it came to the deleted scenes.
@@officialmonarchmusic Honestly I do not forgive those idiots to this day! I loved seeing the economic and political struggles in TPM and it was even more amazing when Darth Plagueis pretty much solely focused on that which is my favourite Star Wars book ever. The backlash to the politics imo played a big part in why the ST is so bad, it tries to retell the OT and retroactively makes all the progression and accomplishments of the universe redundant because they were too afraid to delve into the politics. Now the galaxy is stagnant and repetitive whilst it ruins the established story and legacy of characters. It doesn’t matter the rebels triumphed over the empire in the OT, it gets reset by the worst most lazy macguffin I’ve ever seen that snipes a system from a galaxy away at faster than hyperspace and everyone can see it on different planets despite light not working that way in the Star Wars universe too haha
@@protector_of_the_realms I agree. I especially hate whenever someone calls Lucas an idiot for a political subplot in TPM, (Which is bad enough on its own) and then proceeds to bash him for cutting these scenes. Congratulations! You're whining has gotten a lot of the substance removed and helped ruin the sequels. And now you're going to complain about THAT? It just reeks of hypocrisy. These people should be embarrassed that they were so bored when we saw the inner workings of the Galactic Republic.
@@officialmonarchmusic Absolutely agree. The prequels and their politics have expanded the Star Wars lore. Instead of what many thought was a circus with glow sticks, we got a vast and living universe, but some stupid morons found it boring and they said that "This is not Star Wars", or even "It does not feel like Star Wars" and other nonsense. It looks like they wanted Lucas to go the dumb Remake route and just copy the Original Trilogy. Well, now they can be happy, we have "beautiful" sequels, where the whole plot is a poor remake of the Original Trilogies, and all Lore and politics are absent as a fact. And now we can enjoy this huge pile of....content and eat it with spoons until our stomachs get sick. I despise with all my heart this stupid Prequel Hate, George Lucas should have just waited for a new generation of fans to grow up and be able to perceive his creation without the rose-tinted nostalgia and stupid hate.
you can imagine ruwee saying to anakin "you are on this planet as my daughter's bodyguard but we do not grant you the rank of boyfriend or husband" lol
Anakin Skywalker bonding with Padme & the Naberrie family is much better character development for him than himself being a creepy lovesick character we saw. Also, the conversation between Anakin & Padme to Count Dooku after they were captured was also great.
@@KupiecKorzenny_EmhyrVarEmreis "Artoo" is the affectionate name that Star Wars fans have for R2-D2, just like "Threepio" is an affectionate name for C-3PO.
I remember seeing the scene at 9:50 as a kid and really liked that scene even as a little kid, the way they did that was so nice to me, it felt like how it feels to visit your girlfriends parents and they invite you in and you feel welcomed. I wish it was kept in man.
At home she was herself and free to speak. In front of the queen, she was a senator. And probably when they went to her home they already had passed time together. She started to have feelings for Anakin.
I always felt that "just a padawan learner" line was nasty in an out-of-character kind of way. She wouldn't have said that, especially not about someone she cares about.
The scenes with Padme's family were in the cut of the movie I saw in the cinema and my entire family can back me up on this.. When the DVD came out I was so confused why they cut it - now I learn it was never in the official release so we must have just had an earlier reel shipped to our cinema by mistake.
"Wow these scenes really put a lot into perspective about the relationship between Anakin and Padme and you can really see a natural chemistry and attachment Anakin feels which would seriously add to his character arc later on in the story... let's delete it" - George probably
@@Mael_Str0M you could say that ahahahhaha I totally gotta rewatch the clone wars, haven't seen it since I was little until watching the last episode a couple weeks ago just to see what happened in the end, me and my dad were curious.
They produced a lot more of Anakin and Padme's love development than I ever had imagined. Had it been allowed to make it in the final cut, it's possible the film as a whole would have been more appreciated
I’m upset seeing a lot of really good scenes that explain Padme’s relationship with Anakin and their conflict, being scrapped. Those particular scenes would’ve helped storytelling in the movie. They make it more cohesive.
Yeah, 100% agreed. I understand why they were cut, but I would happily watch a 4-hour cut of each of the Prequel movies, with all these scenes fully restored and included.
3:43 THIS right here is what would've made AOTC so much better imo, we get background on Count Dooku, just how revered and familiar he was with the jedi order and older masters like Yoda and Qui-Gon, and why Dooku said what he said to Obi-Wan while on Geonosis, how he missed Qui-Gon and the importance his teachings had on him. Dooku becomes a very tragic character, because he's basically this twisted version of Obi's master, objectively bad, but willing to compromise Palpatine's plan of taking over the Republic. Just like Qui-Gon thought, Dooku saw the Jedi as arrogant and blinded, proven by Obi-Wan when he said they would've known about the Sith.
I really wish they would kept the Padmes family scenes as it adds to her character besides being the secret wife of anakin and a senator. As one of the only Star Wars characters with an actual family I think leaving in those scenes would have helped connect the audience more and it’s nice to see a more normal and relatable side to Star Wars
I like to think Mace wasn’t as one sided as he’s been kind of portrayed recently, like he was more in tune with the dark so his fighting style so maybe he’s like “hey so what he’s got a bit of dark in em’ he’ll be fine”
@@RobPaulson88 True and perhaps the events that came later in Attack Of The Clones made Mace doubt Anakin, since it pretty much started a war and because of Anakin they missed a shot at Dooku
@@liamlilley2959 well we can’t completely blame Anakin, he held his own, the entire thing was a mess for the Jedi, they were on an uphill battle in every sense of the word
I think Lucas later really regretted that he cut that given that he included the family in the funeral in III and it makes more sense and meaning if you had seen the scene.
Sadly we'll never find the extended footage for this movie But we'll have a chance for the 20th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith (Extended Edition) with 4 hours of deleted scenes or rather unused concept art and early drafts
Padme in the senate opposing the creation of an army just before Palps sends her away is an important scene. It's also important seeing Jar Jar stand right behind her, he knows damn well his proposition of emergency powers is the opposite of what she would want.
Lovee the scene with windu and Obi-Wan in the jedi hangar bay! Really cool way to show off and introduce his ship, too bad alot of these scene were cut out!😢
Honestly I don't think I've ever found a deleted scene I didn't like, but these seriously add to the movie. Shame when pacing and runtime are used to justify lobotomizing a story. Excellent job restoring these!!
Like everybody else, I wished AOTC and ROTS got an extended cut back in the day, adding back a lot of the deleted scenes. It's not like Lucas hasn't released extended versions of his movies before. Both of his director cuts of his first two films(THX-1138 and American Graffiti) add back five minutes of footage that was originally cut out by their respective studios. The special editions of the original trilogy are longer than their theatrical versions(although only ANH had scenes cut from the original release added back in) Finally, the 2001 DVD release of TPM is actually slightly extended from the the theatrical version. The podrace is longer, and there's an extra scene on Corsusant. The point is I wish we got Extended Editions for the other two prequels. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Holy crap those scene's with Padme and Anakin with her family had the best dialog between them...if that had been in the movie, it wouldnt have been shit on so much for the few corny scene's that was left in the movie which made it seem too awkward and rushed.
The deleted scenes from The Phantom Menace are for the most part justified in their exclusion from the final cut. (Except for when Qui-Gon destroys a probe droid, which explains why he and Anakin were running towards the Queen's ship when Darth Maul first appears). But with Attack of the Clones, I feel like so many of these scenes would've made the film more powerful and provide more depth into the relationship between Padme and Anakin.
Aw come on, these scenes with Padme's family have some actually great chemistry with her and Anakin. what a shame they were cut, everything that was left in was so forced. Anakin even bonded with her dad!
Being the leader of the Separatists was just his public role. He and Sidious were playing both sides in order to ignite a war that would eventually be used to transform the republic. The two of them were essentially the reason that something "needed to be done" in the first place. They and a long line of Sith Lords. There was no crisis before Phantom Menace, the republic was steady for 1 000 years. But it wouldn´t surprise me if Disney decide to invent all sorts of turmoil in order to capitalize on the gap. Dooku was just taking orders, while being duped himself. Sidious had his way with everyone until Darth Vader decided that enough is enough.
My favourite are the extended scenes and dialogue of Plaza de España in Seville (arrival at Naboo), and Padme's bedroom, like when she talks about the aliens who struggled to adapt whilst Anakin checks out the picture. Basically we want more Naboo. As a video editor I know how painful it can be to have to leave good stuff out of a project for the sake of runtime, but most of these scenes would have made a nice addition to our Star Wars films collection 😉
Lucas liked the scenes but thought they did make the film a little too long and talky rather than action focused. The released film was his director's cut.
@@anon9060 If Disney knew what they were doing they would release a bunch of versions of all 6 movies, like OT unaltered versions, and Prequel ones with deleted scenes.
@@anon9060 Not even stored copies on the Skywalker Ranch? That cant be. Even so, we had fans doing the despecialized edition some years ago, what ever happened to that project?
JUST DISCOVERED THESE. WTF WAS george lucas thinking!!!! These scenes totally made Anakin seem normal and added so much depth to his and padmes characters. Total loss for the movies.
I remember when this movie came out in Germany I watched it with three of my friends. I can definitely remember Anakin meeting Padme’s family at 10:00. Later on I was confused that that scene never appeared again when it came on TV. I thought maybe I misremembered the movie but I asked my friends and they too could remembered seeing that scene of Anakin meeting Padme’s family.
@@ebonaparte3853yeah, I noticed that and wondered if there were any differences between the original scene and the one we ended up with, but I couldn't spot any. It looked the same.
Wow I cant belive how blind padme and jedis were Dooku was practically screaming WE ARE THE REBELION AGAINST A CORRUPT LEADER WILL SCREW THE GALAXY and yet they cant see it.
11:30 This one scene of Padme looking out the window at Anakin sells me on her growing feelings for him more effectively than anything else in the movie. I wish they’d left it in. 11:30
I always especially liked the scene with Padmè's family and hate that they deleted that. With that scene, we get to know more about her and her background. That and I think it further helped the chemistry and relationship with Anakin. At least that's my opinion anyway.
r2 is thinking to himself while he's playing with ryoo and pooja "great i'm babysitting a jedi a senator and now i'm playing tag with a couple of kids who happen to be padme's nieces i don't get paid enough for this shit lol".
I wish they kept the trial scene, and with Dooku trying to interrogate Padme which would have added more depth and show how corrupted and unjust the Separatists were with their government control.
I’m still waiting for extended versions of the Star Wars movies to be released with the deleted scenes included. They did it for Lord of the Rings and it was amazing!
I know these scenes were definitely cut because of time, but I love them so much! I really wish an extended cut would be released. They just make the characters seem more human
Wow, if they replaced the "i don't like sand" scene, and the Shakespeare scene, with those scenes of Padme family, this could it be a very great movie.
I feel like the sand scene should be cut but I actually think the fireplace scene was really important. But adding the parents scene was the most important but I actually feel they could have cut Obi Won talking to the younglings like Obi Won doesn’t need younglings to tell him the archives were erased
I legitimately feel none of these scenes shown should’ve been cut There’s a few that you didn’t include which I feel wouldn’t have made much sense so I definitely see why they were cut but everything shown here shouldn’t have been cut It greatly expands the relationship with Anakin and padme that Lucas was trying to build and more thoroughly details who Dooku is as a person for the last few scenes and the library scene
I wish they would release a version of these films with all the deleted scenes added to the film where George would have wanted to place them. A Redux of all the prequels, particularly 2 and 3.
Not long after the film was released, Lucasfilm did a seminar on digital cinema in LA. They showed some behind the scenes footage I haven’t seen elsewhere, including some footage of ObiWan going back to Jango Fett’s apartment and looking around the place. Everything was in disarray as though they had left quickly, which better explains why he is running to the platform as Jango is about to take off.
I had a chance to ask Ben Burtt if they would do an extended cut like Lord of the Rings was doing at the time. His answer was essentially that George Lucas felt that each film should only have one definitive version and that they should be about 2 hours long.
You can tell that Lucas didn't entirely have it planned out how Palpatine would take on his ROTJ face. He's clearly wearing additional makeup here as if to show he's slowly transitioning to that look. I guess when they got to ROTS they liked the idea of doing it all in one scene better and so they used the lightening. Up to that scene it's just Ian's natural face where he looks younger than he does in AOTC.
I enjoy that we got to see the Jedi Temple's hangar in these deleted scenes. It made sense for the Jedi to have their own personal hangar bay for their Delta Starfighters, so seeing it adds some spice to the worldbuilding.

Blame the studios!!! Some of this deleted scenes of Anakin and Padmé are better than the one we got, if we left the first kiss and rearrange theyre deleted scenes man that kiss in Geonosis Arena is much more Natural

Jay,

He is not known for in-depth story editing.
Padme actually doing politics and being impassioned is amazing
The scene with the Dooku bust was absolutely necessary, actually telling us about Dooku and showing us what he looks like
Anakin and Padme just carrying luggage is a wonderful bit of chemistry-building
Actually seeing the Jedi hangar bay introduces a Chekov's Gun for Anakin to jump into his speeder later, when he kills Windu
Actually seeing homes is something rare in Star Wars, outside of maybe the Lars hut. And seeing Padme's family, learning more about her, seeing how close she is with her family

In Clone Wars the potilical side of the war is waaaay more developed and give more deepness to Padmé character than just the "defenceless princess". It's sad Natile Portman never had the opportunity to show that side of Amídala.
@@doomsdayrabbit4398 So Luke has 20% of Padme him and 80% of Anakin in him and Leia has 90% of Padme and 10% of Anakin in her. Making them very typical for each one of their role.
Feels weird to see Obi-Wan doubting Anakin and Mace having faith in him.
It's interesting to she how the views of council and obiwan shift to opposite ends in ROTS; Obi-Wan is impatient with Anakin and has doubt with him overall yet the council pretty much tell him to give him time and that he's the chosen one... Then in ROTS Obi-Wan fully respects Anakin's way of going about things yet the council have severe doubts about him and feel he's progressing go quickly
@@Kissteria595 it is really interesting. The Clone Wars really inverted things. I think the war forged a stronger bond between Anakin and Obi Wan, a bond that blinded Obi Wan to the path Anakin was already starting to go down. The war also made the Jedi order lose its way even more, to the point of becoming paranoid and suspicious.
It’s works more with how obiwan acts in ROTS though, and it makes me like mace window more
@@Markeyssc I think Anakin actually started his way down AFTER gradually becoming aware that the council doesn't trust him. If the council chose to show more faith in him it would do so much more help for Anakin since he would know there would be someone to rely on when he needed a way out, which would make him less desperate to search for means to save Padme through unusual methods.
Actually i think anakin obeyed more before padme, and became more and more rebellious and reckless during the clone wars. That's why mace lost faith in him, while obiwan saw him becoming a great jedi that actually cared and disagrred with the council (maybe it reminded him of qui gon)
padme talking about wanting a family breaks my heart 😭😭
Same girl 🥲
poor thing she didn’t even hold her babies
Me too. 🥺🥺 Dammit Palps!
"Padme you're breaking my heart"
And that Anakin was happy actually hearing her talk about her nieces and seeing them with R2. It makes him see that Padme really wants a family but also why he wasn’t ready to be a father but would do it for the love of his life.
All this Padme stuff is really good and would've fixed the romance plot so much. The fact George had filmed so much good material that never made it to the final cut makes me think he was afraid this was too boring or not 'Star Warsy' enough for the casual moviegoers.
That’s fair to think that. Kid me would have hated these scenes though. Now I’m older and while I like these scenes, I kinda understand why George cut them from the movir
That's because fans complained about "too much politics" in episode 1. It makes perfect sense why Lucas felt pressured to cut those scenes. And if they'd actually been released, most of those fans would have whined about that too.
That actually happened. The casual viewers complained there wasn't enough lightsaber action. Star Wars has a lot to do with politics and complots unfortunately too complex for the target audience.
Remember that this was supposed to 3 and half hours long. All your getting are scenes from the original version.
ultra boring add more obi wan sniff species
They should had kept the scenes between Anakin and Padme, with the extra context it explains perfectly why they eventually fell in love instead of Anaking coming of as creepy and Padme as needy for attention.
i agree except I dont see how you find padme needy for attention
@@maeneae same
Padme doesn't work as well here since she does come off as needy for validation, she doesn't let Anakin speak and berates him at the Naboo council when his opinion was asked for specifically.
@@nemou4985 That's actually what happens in the novel, which probably worked off the original script. And in the novel, further scenes also make it understandable on Padmé's end. She is just a headstrong individual who has a habit of wanting to take charge of her own security. She has similar arguments with both Captain Panaka and Typho in the novel as well. So she was a bit too hasty and cuts Anakin off when he was asked specifically to speak.
I enjoyed the scene where anakin meets Padme’s family
The fact they cut out her entire family is wild
their acting sucks. especially the dad
@@anarcho-pingu
Him being nervous kind of makes sense? A bunch of powerful people want to see his daughter dead, and he's discussing that with her not-boyfriend.
@@anarcho-pingu The "New Queen's" acting is worse.
@@anarcho-pingu I don't see it, I think everyone's acting here is fine.
I find it upsetting and quite depressing padmes family seems like they would wholly and fully accept Anakin if he walked away from the order to be with her kind of makes me wish he did just run off with her and the fact that Luke and Leia never met their mothers side of the family just feels like a crime to me
That beginning scene where Padme speaks against that war in the senate made the latter plot have so much sense. Of course Palpatine had to find a way to get her out of the way in order to put his plans in motion. With Padme being there, the vote will most likely result in negotiation rather than violence. When both assassinations as a mean of discouragement failed, Palpatine resorted to getting her off world. Her being there is literally the biggest nail in the shoe for Palpatine. The scene also helped establish her character a lot and can be connected to her other speech in the Clone Wars series where she speaks against further expanding the Clone army.
I disagree. The Trade Federation was already suspected of being a member of the CIS. They had a vast Droid army. Having an army is a huge advantage in negotiations.
Negotiations for peace are not going to work if one side is militarily stronger. The stronger side has no reason to negotiate if they are strong enough to simply take what they want.
Besides having an army may be necessary if negotiations fail.
It's OK but I prefer that an army was possible rather than discussed in the Senate right from the start, it's hard to believe Padme would go offplanet. And it's weird that Padme believed the assassination attempt was because she was anti-army but also was from Dooku.
The Anakin and Padme scenes are so wholesome.
Their chemistry flows alot better this way
@@anon9060 lol 😂
These are some of the best Star Wars scenes, they feel so different yet familiar. It’s a shame they were cut.
In the end, that's why I made the Extended Cut. Get the file, play it on a 4K screen, and feel like you're watching the movie again for the first time in a new light.
@@MechaSalesman I'm not sure if the trial scene really needed to be there, but these are pretty great. I'm especially partial to any scene with Dooku in it
Yeah, I doubt it would have hurt the film to have all these scenes reinserted. The film may have just been 2.5 hours long. Not too far out there for the Original Lucas 6.
@@sambascom2884 length is only part of it. I'd argued that a bigger part is how they play with the other scenes and affect the pacing. A scene can be fine in isolation but really slow down the overall film, which I could see for a lot of these.
Yes. Like the droids' antics in the Droid Factory on Geonosis!
All of these Padme scenes should have been kept in. They completely flesh out her character, showing the person she is, and the motivations she has. The final cut of AotC has some of the most stilted dialogue, especially between Padme and Anakin. But these scenes have such a natural flow to them, especially within the context of the rest of the movie. I'm sure these scenes were cut due to time constraints, which I think is a shame, specifically for Padme's character.
I think for me, the knowing look of Padme's mom when they are discussing Anakin is just *chef's kiss*. In general, Padme and Anakin's build up to their relationship would have been so much more impactful if those scenes were as nuanced as some of these scenes.
I know right. I wish Disney maybe would add some of these scenes back into the film.
@@Brandon-yy5cc The Secret rise up solo
yeah she actually looks like she has a crush on him in the scenes with her family, seems like a pretty critical part that was lost
Wait I've seen those scenes years ago. Maybe they included them in the dvd version? I certainly remember watching the whole movie with those scenes
@@piotrlisowski2012yes I watched them on the dvd version as well!
That scene with R2 and Padmé's nieces... my heart. Now I'm just imagining a similar scenario with Leia and R2 in the Organa household 🥺
They grow up seeking to avenge her eventually.
@@MechaSalesman Ahh, some easy cannon fodder for the Sith.
They were having such a good time with uncle R2.
Padme: “im not in any danger”
Anakin: “there have been two attempts on her life”
Padme: “no there were two assassination attempts on my body double”
Anakin: "First of all, that's semantics. Second of all, they were still targeting YOU!"
@9:26
I wish they kept this scene in
Shows a lot more of Padme’s connections and compassion for others
Definitely see where Leia’s big heart came from too
Truly, that's why I made this extended film cut. These scenes massively improve the context of the movie and fill in a number of character gaps.
Or Luke's big heart
@@wienczysawwiaderko6204 honestly I think Luke has shown more of having a bigger heart then leia I mean just like Padme he never gave up on his father and believed that he was still inside
@@alexmason2659 I think both kids take after their parents. Leia is a politician and a fighter who stands against social injustice and is aware of the misery and poverty in the galaxy, much like Padme, whereas Luke is a man of action and great altruism and compassion who wishes to use his power to help others in need, much like Anakin (at least before Anakin started craving for power and becoming corrupted).
@@marianoyuba3736 well at first I don't think Anakin cared much for the power and more about saving Padme after Padme I think power was really the only thing left he had to gain until Luke showed up in his life
I really liked this extended version, it improved the movie a lot for me. It helps make clear that the reason why Padmé decides to kiss Anakin when he's just gotten over his awkwardness is because of her impulsiveness.
"Anakin is not my boyfriend, he is just a friend we know each other for 10 years" Anakin is down
He gave her such a disappointed and sad look after this phrase. It's heartbreaking.😭
She said this but actually she had already feelings for him. She was always in denial because of their commitments. Only in Geonosis she understood she can't longer live in this situation because she was dying inside. She truly, deeply loves Anakin after some time with him. Their bond was something they weren't used to it. So their time together in Naboo was great, because they were themselves.
Well... he ISN'T her boyfriend? And they saw each other for, what, days (?) when he and she were a child and barely a teenager? Lmao. Why do people always joke that Anakin is always getting snubbed by Padmé lmao?
A lot of these really were integral to the story, shame they got cut.
That's why I want more people to see the extended film cut as it exists now. It really does recontexualize much about Episode II's story and character development, especially for Padme's side of things. She got the short end of the stick in both II and III when it came to the deleted scenes.
@@MechaSalesman I wish less fans had complained about the politics in TPM. Maybe then George wouldn't have gotten worried about boring his audience
@@officialmonarchmusic Honestly I do not forgive those idiots to this day! I loved seeing the economic and political struggles in TPM and it was even more amazing when Darth Plagueis pretty much solely focused on that which is my favourite Star Wars book ever. The backlash to the politics imo played a big part in why the ST is so bad, it tries to retell the OT and retroactively makes all the progression and accomplishments of the universe redundant because they were too afraid to delve into the politics. Now the galaxy is stagnant and repetitive whilst it ruins the established story and legacy of characters. It doesn’t matter the rebels triumphed over the empire in the OT, it gets reset by the worst most lazy macguffin I’ve ever seen that snipes a system from a galaxy away at faster than hyperspace and everyone can see it on different planets despite light not working that way in the Star Wars universe too haha
@@protector_of_the_realms I agree. I especially hate whenever someone calls Lucas an idiot for a political subplot in TPM, (Which is bad enough on its own) and then proceeds to bash him for cutting these scenes. Congratulations! You're whining has gotten a lot of the substance removed and helped ruin the sequels. And now you're going to complain about THAT? It just reeks of hypocrisy. These people should be embarrassed that they were so bored when we saw the inner workings of the Galactic Republic.
@@officialmonarchmusic Absolutely agree. The prequels and their politics have expanded the Star Wars lore. Instead of what many thought was a circus with glow sticks, we got a vast and living universe, but some stupid morons found it boring and they said that "This is not Star Wars", or even "It does not feel like Star Wars" and other nonsense. It looks like they wanted Lucas to go the dumb Remake route and just copy the Original Trilogy.
Well, now they can be happy, we have "beautiful" sequels, where the whole plot is a poor remake of the Original Trilogies, and all Lore and politics are absent as a fact. And now we can enjoy this huge pile of....content and eat it with spoons until our stomachs get sick. I despise with all my heart this stupid Prequel Hate, George Lucas should have just waited for a new generation of fans to grow up and be able to perceive his creation without the rose-tinted nostalgia and stupid hate.

At home she was herself and free to speak. In front of the queen, she was a senator. And probably when they went to her home they already had passed time together. She started to have feelings for Anakin.
I always felt that "just a padawan learner" line was nasty in an out-of-character kind of way. She wouldn't have said that, especially not about someone she cares about.

The scenes with Padme's family were in the cut of the movie I saw in the cinema and my entire family can back me up on this.. When the DVD came out I was so confused why they cut it - now I learn it was never in the official release so we must have just had an earlier reel shipped to our cinema by mistake.

I’m upset seeing a lot of really good scenes that explain Padme’s relationship with Anakin and their conflict, being scrapped. Those particular scenes would’ve helped storytelling in the movie. They make it more cohesive.
Yeah, 100% agreed. I understand why they were cut, but I would happily watch a 4-hour cut of each of the Prequel movies, with all these scenes fully restored and included.
@@DamianHowardTV you and me both.
3:43 THIS right here is what would've made AOTC so much better imo, we get background on Count Dooku, just how revered and familiar he was with the jedi order and older masters like Yoda and Qui-Gon, and why Dooku said what he said to Obi-Wan while on Geonosis, how he missed Qui-Gon and the importance his teachings had on him. Dooku becomes a very tragic character, because he's basically this twisted version of Obi's master, objectively bad, but willing to compromise Palpatine's plan of taking over the Republic. Just like Qui-Gon thought, Dooku saw the Jedi as arrogant and blinded, proven by Obi-Wan when he said they would've known about the Sith.
Exaclty my thoughts. The movie paints to be cartoonishly evil
I really wish they would kept the Padmes family scenes as it adds to her character besides being the secret wife of anakin and a senator. As one of the only Star Wars characters with an actual family I think leaving in those scenes would have helped connect the audience more and it’s nice to see a more normal and relatable side to Star Wars
Padme is such a crucial piece in anakins story, it's odd that so many of their scenes were cut
7:19 Mace Windu actually sounds like he had some trust in Anakin. I like this..why did they take out this scene again?
probablly for the exact reason that they didint want mace windu to seem like he trusted anakin or that he even cared for him
Likely still had some fear as he was sensing the rising darkness in anakin
I like to think Mace wasn’t as one sided as he’s been kind of portrayed recently, like he was more in tune with the dark so his fighting style so maybe he’s like “hey so what he’s got a bit of dark in em’ he’ll be fine”
@@RobPaulson88 True and perhaps the events that came later in Attack Of The Clones made Mace doubt Anakin, since it pretty much started a war and because of Anakin they missed a shot at Dooku
@@liamlilley2959 well we can’t completely blame Anakin, he held his own, the entire thing was a mess for the Jedi, they were on an uphill battle in every sense of the word

It’s Funny cos whenever they are face to face he spits on his face
I really wish they had kept the scenes with Amidala's family in the film!
Yeah
I think Lucas later really regretted that he cut that given that he included the family in the funeral in III and it makes more sense and meaning if you had seen the scene.
AOTC needs to have an extended addition it has the best deleted scenes that mesh with the film easily
Sadly we'll never find the extended footage for this movie
But we'll have a chance for the 20th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith (Extended Edition) with 4 hours of deleted scenes or rather unused concept art and early drafts
Where will we be able to watch this version of Revenge of the Sith or rather these scenes?
Padme in the senate opposing the creation of an army just before Palps sends her away is an important scene.
It's also important seeing Jar Jar stand right behind her, he knows damn well his proposition of emergency powers is the opposite of what she would want.
Lovee the scene with windu and Obi-Wan in the jedi hangar bay! Really cool way to show off and introduce his ship, too bad alot of these scene were cut out!😢
Wow even these deleted scenes feel and look better than the sequels
Last time i went to toilet it felt better than watching the sequels....
Honestly I don't think I've ever found a deleted scene I didn't like, but these seriously add to the movie. Shame when pacing and runtime are used to justify lobotomizing a story. Excellent job restoring these!!
"We build weapons, Senator... that is our business. Of course we're prepared!"
I've always loved that line.
I already love this movie, but these deleted scenes make it millions of times better.
The movie would flow so much more smoothly with the majority of the deleted scenes, especially the ones pertaining to Anakin and Padmé.
Like everybody else, I wished AOTC and ROTS got an extended cut back in the day, adding back a lot of the deleted scenes.
It's not like Lucas hasn't released extended versions of his movies before. Both of his director cuts of his first two films(THX-1138 and American Graffiti) add back five minutes of footage that was originally cut out by their respective studios.
The special editions of the original trilogy are longer than their theatrical versions(although only ANH had scenes cut from the original release added back in)
Finally, the 2001 DVD release of TPM is actually slightly extended from the the theatrical version. The podrace is longer, and there's an extra scene on Corsusant.
The point is I wish we got Extended Editions for the other two prequels. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Holy crap those scene's with Padme and Anakin with her family had the best dialog between them...if that had been in the movie, it wouldnt have been shit on so much for the few corny scene's that was left in the movie which made it seem too awkward and rushed.
If you asked me, these scenes still happen cannonically. It enhances the story just like what the clone war show does
The deleted scenes from The Phantom Menace are for the most part justified in their exclusion from the final cut. (Except for when Qui-Gon destroys a probe droid, which explains why he and Anakin were running towards the Queen's ship when Darth Maul first appears). But with Attack of the Clones, I feel like so many of these scenes would've made the film more powerful and provide more depth into the relationship between Padme and Anakin.
Aw come on, these scenes with Padme's family have some actually great chemistry with her and Anakin. what a shame they were cut, everything that was left in was so forced. Anakin even bonded with her dad!
The irony of Padme calling Count Dooku's cause a "Rebellion" is hilarious.
He knew what needed to be done. He was just too early.
Also fighting for the same side in technicality
Being the leader of the Separatists was just his public role. He and Sidious were playing both sides in order to ignite a war that would eventually be used to transform the republic. The two of them were essentially the reason that something "needed to be done" in the first place. They and a long line of Sith Lords. There was no crisis before Phantom Menace, the republic was steady for 1 000 years. But it wouldn´t surprise me if Disney decide to invent all sorts of turmoil in order to capitalize on the gap. Dooku was just taking orders, while being duped himself. Sidious had his way with everyone until Darth Vader decided that enough is enough.
All of this adds so much more depth to Padme's background and her relationship with Anakin, they should have been kept
Imagine being in three Star Wars films are your only lines are “order order!” Lol
At least he had more to say in the TV series...
He does speak a couple of sentences in the scene where they are discussing giving palpatine emergency powers, at some point in the film
I understand wanting to cut scenes for pacing reasons, but they cut so much good stuff.
My favourite are the extended scenes and dialogue of Plaza de España in Seville (arrival at Naboo), and Padme's bedroom, like when she talks about the aliens who struggled to adapt whilst Anakin checks out the picture. Basically we want more Naboo.
As a video editor I know how painful it can be to have to leave good stuff out of a project for the sake of runtime, but most of these scenes would have made a nice addition to our Star Wars films collection 😉
So glad you removed that awkward as hell tongue flick that Mas Amedda does before he says "Order! ORDER!!"
They really should do director’s cut of the prequels, edit some dialogue, and add these deleted scenes into the movie.
Lucas probably wouldn't have it since he always has final cut. Disney could, but they're too tone deaf to know how or even if the fans wanted that.
Lucas liked the scenes but thought they did make the film a little too long and talky rather than action focused. The released film was his director's cut.
@@anon9060 If Disney knew what they were doing they would release a bunch of versions of all 6 movies, like OT unaltered versions, and Prequel ones with deleted scenes.

I remember when this movie came out in Germany I watched it with three of my friends.
I can definitely remember Anakin meeting Padme’s family at 10:00.

I thought maybe I misremembered the movie but I asked my friends and they too could remembered seeing that scene of Anakin meeting Padme’s family.
First time seeing this and these scenes add sooooo much more to the movie.
8:54 They should’ve kept this one in for sure, it shows Anakin’s frustration when Padmr points out that he’s just a padawan not a Jedi master

@@ebonaparte3853yeah, I noticed that and wondered if there were any differences between the original scene and the one we ended up with, but I couldn't spot any. It looked the same.

Wow I cant belive how blind padme and jedis were Dooku was practically screaming WE ARE THE REBELION AGAINST A CORRUPT LEADER WILL SCREW THE GALAXY and yet they cant see it.

"Obi-wan!"
"Hello, Dex!"

I have watched Star wars episode 2 and it's deleted scenes countless times and it amazes me that some of these scenes I have never saw before
I always especially liked the scene with Padmè's family and hate that they deleted that. With that scene, we get to know more about her and her background. That and I think it further helped the chemistry and relationship with Anakin. At least that's my opinion anyway.
r2 is thinking to himself while he's playing with ryoo and pooja "great i'm babysitting a jedi a senator and now i'm playing tag with a couple of kids who happen to be padme's nieces i don't get paid enough for this shit lol".

R2 is the real hero who saved the Galaxy
There’s something about hearing the word boyfriend in a Star Wars film that makes me feel very weird
I wish they kept the trial scene, and with Dooku trying to interrogate Padme which would have added more depth and show how corrupted and unjust the Separatists were with their government control.
Yeah I wish that would have been kept, tie the political themes and the characters themselves more together.
They should put these scenes back in like an Extended Edition.
I’m still waiting for extended versions of the Star Wars movies to be released with the deleted scenes included. They did it for Lord of the Rings and it was amazing!

The conversations with anakin and padme is much more needed in this cut scenes. Why would they include those "sands" script instead 😭
These deleted scenes are crazy. It's like an alternate universe. Padme's family? Holographic photo frames? Padme still lives at home? Wuuuuut?
Wow, if they replaced the "i don't like sand" scene, and the Shakespeare scene, with those scenes of Padme family, this could it be a very great movie.

But adding the parents scene was the most important but I actually feel they could have cut Obi Won talking to the younglings like Obi Won doesn’t need younglings to tell him the archives were erased
“Anakins not a Jedi” 10 seconds later.. “Anakins not my boyfriend he’s a Jedi.” 😂
They should re-add these scenes, these are perfect for the movie, it's beautiful
1:06 "Many will loose their life, all will loose their freedom." She was right 😢
I legitimately feel none of these scenes shown should’ve been cut
There’s a few that you didn’t include which I feel wouldn’t have made much sense so I definitely see why they were cut but everything shown here shouldn’t have been cut
It greatly expands the relationship with Anakin and padme that Lucas was trying to build and more thoroughly details who Dooku is as a person for the last few scenes and the library scene
I wish they would release a version of these films with all the deleted scenes added to the film where George would have wanted to place them. A Redux of all the prequels, particularly 2 and 3.
So much character development here! Why was this left out?!
Well, I can see why some of it was cut out. But not all of it.
Not long after the film was released, Lucasfilm did a seminar on digital cinema in LA. They showed some behind the scenes footage I haven’t seen elsewhere, including some footage of ObiWan going back to Jango Fett’s apartment and looking around the place. Everything was in disarray as though they had left quickly, which better explains why he is running to the platform as Jango is about to take off.
I had a chance to ask Ben Burtt if they would do an extended cut like Lord of the Rings was doing at the time. His answer was essentially that George Lucas felt that each film should only have one definitive version and that they should be about 2 hours long.
You can tell that Lucas didn't entirely have it planned out how Palpatine would take on his ROTJ face. He's clearly wearing additional makeup here as if to show he's slowly transitioning to that look. I guess when they got to ROTS they liked the idea of doing it all in one scene better and so they used the lightening. Up to that scene it's just Ian's natural face where he looks younger than he does in AOTC.
Omg these scenes add so much depth to the story! I really wish they were included
Yeah man. Anakin meeting her folks seemed way more natural than riding a space emu.
I enjoy that we got to see the Jedi Temple's hangar in these deleted scenes. It made sense for the Jedi to have their own personal hangar bay for their Delta Starfighters, so seeing it adds some spice to the worldbuilding.
