Another Threepio Scene
I'm assuming since the scene where Padmé applies Threepio's coverings in the Lars garage was cut, another scene was written to replace the other. This scene also takes place in the Lars garage, where Threepio does his best to cheer up Padmé who is worried about Anakin. Whether this alternate garage scene was filmed or not, I can't say for certain.

Here is the scene excerpt from the final script included with the "Art of Episode II" book...


Scene 107-EXTERIOR TATOOINE, DESERT, HOMESTEAD (FULL MOON)-NIGHT

The lights of the vaporators blink in the night sky. Somewhere close by, a night animal HOWLS.


Scene 108- EXTERIOR TATOOINE, HOMESTEAD, COURTYARD (FULL MOON)-NIGHT

PADMÉ is pacing the courtyard restlessly. She stops, listening to the animal HOWLING nearby. She shivers slightly, then turns and goes into the garage at the side of the courtyard.


Scene 109- INTERIOR TATOOINE, HOMESTEAD, GARAGE (FULL MOON)-NIGHT

PADMÉ enters the garage where C-3PO sits working.

C-3PO
Hello, Miss Padmé.

PADMÉ
Hello, Threepio.

C-3PO
You can't sleep?

PADMÉ
No. I have too many things on my mind, I guess.

C-3PO
Are you worried about your work in the Senate?

PADMé
No, I'm just concerned about Anakin. I said things...I'm afraid I may have hurt him. I don't know. Maybe I only hurt myself. For the first time in my life, I'm confused.

C-3PO
I'm not sure it will make you feel any better Miss Padmé, but I don't think there's been a time in my life when I haven't been confused.

PADMÉ
I want him to know I care about him. I do care about him.

C-3PO
Don't worry about Master Annie. He can take care of himself. Even in this awful place.
