Mace's Quarters
The scene where Mace and Yoda listen to Obi-Wan's message from Kamino originally took place in Mace's living quarters instead of Yoda's. This version of the scene comes from the 2nd revised draft script. The scene was moved from Mace's quarters to Yoda's more monklike chambers in the final movie. According to John Knoll's excellent book "Creating the World's of SW: 365 Days" book, the set was changed because George "didn't like the idea of Mace sitting at a big executive desk, because the Jedi seemed too terrestrial based, too much part of a bureaucracy."
Below is the excerpt from the 2nd revised draft. (Thanks to Marcus for the script excerpt.)
70 EXT. JEDI TEMPLE, LIVING QUARTERS - EARLY EVENING
A long hallway with tall columns and many small apartments.
71 INT. JEDI TEMPLE, MACE WINDU'S QUARTERS - EARLY EVENING
Yoda and Mace Windu listen as a hologram of Obi-Wan stands between them
broadcasting the message. The signal is very weak, the image fades in and
out.
OBI-WAN
(V.O.) ...I've never heard of a Jedi called Sido-Dyas, have you,
Master?
MACE WINDU
No. Whoever placed that order was not a Jedi, I can assure
you.
OBI-WAN
(V.O.) I have a strong feeling that this bounty hunter is the
assassin we're looking for.
YODA
Who is he working for... discover that you must.
OBI-WAN
(V.O.) I will, Master, and I will also find out more about this
clone army. May the Force...
The hologram switches off, and Obi-Wan fades away.
MACE WINDU
A clone army! Ordered by someone in the Senate perhaps...
Someone's out to start a war.
YODA
Inform the Chancellor of this, we must.
MACE WINDU
Who do you think this impostor, Sido-Dyas could be?
Yoda stares back at Mace Windu, then slowly shakes his head.
The pic of Mace at his desk below is from the official site's Image Attack series.
