 PADME:
Why would he talk to me about his work?
OBI-WAN studies her.
OBI-WAN: Neither of you is very good at hiding your feelings
either.
PADME: Don't give me that look.
OBI-WAN: I know how he feels about you.
PADME: (nervous) What did he say?
OBI-WAN: Nothing. He didn't have to.
PADME is a little flustered. She stands and Obi-Wan follows.
She walks to the balcony.
PADME: I don't know what you're talking about.
OBI-WAN: I know you both too well. I can see you two are in
love. Padme, I'm worried about him.
PADME looks down and doesn't answer.
OBI-WAN: (continuing) I fear your relationship has confused
him. He's changed considerably since we returned . . .
They stand on the balcony and look off at the early morning
city. OBI-WAN starts to leave. PADME stays looking off into
the distant city.
OBI-WAN: (continuing) Padme, I'm not telling the Council
about any of this. I ... I hope I didn't upset you. We're
all friends, I care about both of you . . .
PADME: Thank you, Obi-Wan.
OBI-WAN: Please do what you can to help him.
This next scene is part of the deleted subplot of the
creation of the Rebel Alliance, under the guise of the ‘2000’
Senators who oppose the Chancellor’s continued reign.
This scene takes place in Padme’s apartment and was filmed
as in one of the pictures shown below you can see Daniels doing
the voiceovers with the images on the monitor below:
95 INT. CORUSCANT-PADME'S APARTMENT-DAY
 PADME,
MON MOTHMA, and five other Senators (BANA BREEMU, FANG ZAR.
CHI EEKWAY, GIDDEAN DANU, BAIL ORGANA) sit in Padme's living
room. C-3PO serves drinks to the guests.
PADME: We cannot let this turn into another war.
BAIL ORGANA: Absolutely, that is the last thing we want.
 MON
MOTHMA: We are hoping to form an alliance in the Senate to
stop the Chancellor from further subverting the constitution,
that's all.
PADME: I know a Jedi I feel it would be wise to consult.
BANA BREEMU: That would be dangerous.
MON MOTHMA: We don't know where the Jedi stand in all this.
 PADME:
I only wish to discuss this with one . . . one I trust.
GiDDEAN DANU: Going against the Chancellor without the support
of the Jedi is risky.
PADME: The Jedi aren't any happier with the situation than
we are . . .
CHI EEKWAY: Patience, Senator.
FANG ZAR: We have so many Senators on our side, surely that
will persuade the Chancellor.
BANA BREEMU: When you present the "petition of the two
thousand" to the Chancellor, things may change.
BAIL ORGANA: Let us see what we can accomplish in the Senate,
before we include the Jedi.
PADME takes a deep breath in frustration and disappointment.
 This
is the voiceover work that you can hear Anthony delivering
the lines " I made them especially" and "I
made them myself" referring to the drinks.
When you see the scene in which Yoda is meditating before
Organa tells him Obi Wan has made contact was the scene in
which Qui-Gon reveals his new found power of becoming immortal
that Yoda will speak about later on. This is cut from the
film, except for Yoda meditating, which now makes little sense.
I wondered, at the time, why we were shown this awkwardly
placed image.
Qui-Gon is one of my favorite characters from ALL the films,
and I find it disheartening that it has been taken out. I
do not know if it was filmed or just cut during production.
I would have to think it was filmed as we still have the Yoda
part.
According to USA
Today:
"Star Wars alums Neeson and Jackson both offered hints
that George Lucas has shot a top-secret cameo of Neeson as
Qui-Gon Jinn's ghost, à la Alec Guinness, for May's Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. "I
can't speak about it," Neeson joked. "Jedi code
of ethics."
"Although his stately Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn was
a goner in Star Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace,
Neeson puts in a ghostly appearance in the series finale,
Star Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith on May 19."
"In Phantom Menace, he mentored Ewan
McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi and trained Jake Lloyd's Anakin
Skywalker as a junior Jedi before meeting his fate in a saber
duel opposite the vicious Darth Maul."
"But much like Alec Guinness' Obi-Wan in the first trilogy,
Qui-Gon's influential spirit lingers on."
It's basically intended to be a voiceover, which help
explains Obi-Wan talking to Luke in the trench of the Death
Star, or finally explaining why being a Blue Lighted ghost
figure is "more powerful than you can possibly imagine".
The ironic outcome that it was actually the Jedi that had
the power to control life, not the Sith.
From the Illustrated Script, here is a screen
cap from the book:
 This
last bit talks about the demise of a certain female jedi.
Popular background character Shaak-Ti, meets not one, but
two bitter demises. Apparently, she ate George’s last
muffin and he was not amused. The first death isn’t
even in the copy of the script I have, but it does have a
revisualization image. The central theme here is blade through
the back. The first is at the hands of Grievous.
 This
next one is actually in the final shooting script:
144 INT. CORUSCANT-JEDI TEMPLE-NIGHT
ANAKIN walks through the Jedi Temple, where he finds and
kills SHAAK TI.
He exits Shaak Ti's room and enters a hallway, where the battle is taking place
Moral of Story? Stay away from George’s breakfast.
