Anakin and Padmé on Trial
In this cut scene which would have come after the "Dooku Interrogates Padmé" scene, Anakin and Padmé are put on trial and found guilty of Espionage. They are sentenced to death in the Arena...
DVD Info: This is one of the deleted scenes included on the DVD.
Here is the excerpt from the screenplay included with the "Art of Episode II" book...
Scene 150- INTERIOR GEONOSIS, HIGH AUDIENCE CHAMBER-DAY
ANAKIN and PADMÉ are standing in the center of what looks like a courtroom. Seated before them in a tall boxed-off area is POGGLE THE LESSER,
the Archduke of Geonosis. He is accompanied by his underling, SUN FAC. Off to one side sit Seperatist Senators PO NUDO, TESSEK, and TOON BUCK TOORA.
Next to them are the Commerce Dignitaries, SHU MAI, NUTE GUNRAY, PASSEL ARGENTE, WAT TAMBOR, and SAN HILL of the Intergalactic Bank Clan. Along the wall
about a HUNDRED GEONOSIANS wait for a verdict.
SUN FAC
You have been charged and found guilty of espionage.
POGGLE
Do you have anything to say before your sentence is carried out?
PADMÉ
You are committing an act of war, Archduke. I hope you are prepared for the consequences.
POGGLE laughs. COUNT DOOKU simply smiles.
POGGLE
We build weapons, Senator...that is our business! Of course we're prepared!
NUTE GUNRAY
Get on with it. Carry out the sentence. I want to see her suffer.
POGGLE
Your other Jedi friend is waiting for you, Senator. Take them to the arena!
FOUR GUARDS take hold of PADMÉ and ANAKIN. They are escorted out of the chamber to the sounds of chuckling.
Below are a pre-effects picture and DVD screencaps.
