Padmé's Bedroom
This deleted scene offered a more intimate look at Padmé's past personal life. While packing her things to go to the Lake retreat, Padmé tells Anakin about the holographic images hanging on her wall which depict important moments in her life, including her first day as apprentice legislator.
DVD Info: This scene is included as one of the eight deleted scenes on the DVD. There aren't too many changes made to the DVD version, the scene appears pretty much as it does in the script.
Below is the excerpt from the "Art of Episode II" script...
Scene 060- INTERIOR PADMÉ'S PARENTS' HOUSE, PADMÉ'S ROOM-AFTERNOON
PADMÉ throws some things into a bag.
PADMÉ
Don't worry, this won't take long.
ANAKIN
I just want to get there before dark.
PADMÉ goes on packing. ANAKIN looks around the room.
ANAKIN
You still live at home.
PADMÉ
I move around so much. I've never had a place of my own. Official residences have no warmth. I feel good here. I feel at home.
ANAKIN
I never had a real home. Home was always where my mom was.
ANAKIN picks up a framed hologram.
ANAKIN
Is this you?
The hologram shows PADMÉ at age seven or eight surrounded by forty or fifty little green creatures. She is holding one in her arms. They are all smiling hugely.
PADMÉ
That was when I was with a relief group to Shadda-Bi-Boran. Their sun was imploding, and the planet was dying. I was helping to relocate the children. See that little one I'm holding?
His name was N'a-kee-tula, which means sweetheart. He was so full of life. All those kids were. They were never able to adapt...to live off their native planet.
ANAKIN picks up another hologram. It shows PADMÉ at age ten or eleven. She is wearing official robes and standing between two robed legislators. Her expression is severe.
PADMÉ
My first day as Apprentice Legislator. Notice the difference?
PADMÉ pulls a face. ANAKIN grins. She continues packing. ANAKIN sets the two holograms down side by side-the beaming little girl and the stern, unsmiling adolescent.
