Forgotten Droids
In the final movie, Artoo and Threepio tag along with the adventure through the Droid Factory and the Arena. But before the Droid Factory sequence was added, Artoo and Threepio stayed behind on the ship left wondering what was going on outside as the Arena battle and Clone War waged on.
Below is the excerpt from the "2nd draft". Please note I omitted the cutbacks to the Arena battle, so it's just the droid scenes.
INT. COCKPIT, NABOO STARSHIP - DAY
ARTOO BEEPS
C-3PO
Yes, it has been rather a long time. Do you suppose something's happened to them?
ARTOO BEEPS and WHISTLES.
C-3PO
(continuing) Danger? Oh no, I shouldn't think so. It looks a very dull planet to me. They should be back shortly. Just stop worrying, Artoo.

INT. COCKPIT, NABOO STARSHIP
ARTOO whistles.
C-3PO
I don't hear anything. (Artoo beeps) You're scaring me! Stop imagining things!
***
INT. COCKPIT, NABOO STARSHIP - DAY
THREEPIO and ARTOO see flashes outside of the ship, exploding everywhere.
C-3PO
I'm sure I heard something, this time. Didn't you? It's probably just a celebration.
ARTOO lets out an EXHAUSTED BLEEP.
