Padmé is completely preoccupied with her concern for Anakin, but she does her best to reply.

INT TATOOINE MOISTURE FARM, KITCHEN – MORNING Here’s the excerpt from an early draft of Episode II: It’s nothing more than small talk with a little female bonding thrown in, but fun to read. In one of these deleted scenes, Beru has a short conversation with Padmé while helping her out in the kitchen. My educated guess is that someone decided another shot of Padmé in the Lars dining area was required probably the part where she sits in the chair, since there’s a blue chair under her.įor those keeping score, Beru Whitesun ended up with only one line of dialogue spoken on screen: “Hello.” She didn’t have many lines to begin with, even in the finished script, but it seems that most of them were edited out for whatever reason. In the book Mythmaking, this photo is found in the chapter dealing with pick-up shooting, long after principal photography wrapped. While I can’t say for sure, I believe the photo of Padmé shot against bluescreen is from the same scene. In the finished film, Owen never gets up from his chair. In some of the photos, Owen is standing during the scene where Anakin learns of Shmi’s situation. There’s plenty of photo evidence of some deleted footage involving the Lars homestead that we first saw in Episode IV. Owen probably thought this little family reunion would occur under better circumstances. Owen Lars knew he had a stepbrother out there somewhere and that this mysterious stepbrother might one day return Tatooine in search of his mother. The anger, fear, and aggression that leads to his eventual downfall will take root here, setting the scene for the tragic events of Episode III.

While he’s there, Anakin will not only find his mother but learn some more about his family, leaving him a changed man.

In Episode II, Anakin travels to Tatooine after being haunted by disturbing nightmares of his mother. Throughout the saga, the Star Wars films frequently bring us back to the first major planet we encountered a long, long time ago: Tatooine.
