Unfortunately, this results in the two of them getting captured, put on trial, found guilty, and tied to execution posts right along with Obi-Wan. Ultimately, it&#8217;s Jedi Master Yoda that does the <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">real<\/span><\/em> rescuing here. The scenes on this page deal with Anakin and Padm\u00e9&#8217;s failed rescue attempt along with some of the surrounding events involving C-3PO and R2-D2.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong>HUMAN BEHAVIOR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In some ways, Anakin and Padm\u00e9&#8217;s relationship is a bit like Leia and Han&#8217;s. In <em>Attack of the Clones<\/em>, Padm\u00e9 was clearly the dominant partner, bossing Anakin around and sometimes making him look foolish in front of others. Anakin&#8217;s submissiveness made him seem weak in the final cut, but it wasn&#8217;t always that way. The two had a few more spirited discussions according to the original script.<\/p>\n<p>One good example is the scene where Anakin and Padm\u00e9 arrive on Geonosis and set off to find Obi-Wan. In the 2nd draft of the script, Anakin and Padm\u00e9 have an argument very reminiscent of a Han and Leia spat. In the rewritten\/final version, Padm\u00e9 just barks orders at the now submissive Anakin who has given up trying to fight with her. C-3PO even gets a dig in at the end. Here&#8217;s the excerpt from the 2nd draft of <em>Attack of the Clones<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>INT. COCKPIT, NABOO STARFIGHTER &#8211; DAY<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>ANAKIN switches off the engines. ARTOO and THREEPIO are in the navigation area of the cockpit. PADM\u00c9 is in the co-pilot&#8217;s seat.

This ultimately leads to their capture by the Separatist leader and former Jedi, Count Dooku. This entire scene was added to the film during pick-up shots, many months after principal photography was completed. It was shot to replace a completely different scene containing far less action which also led to their capture not in the droid factory, but in a location scripted as the <em>Geonosian Central Square<\/em>. In this talky scene, Count Dooku appears from the shadows and has Anakin and Padm\u00e9 led away. In some of the related photos, Padm\u00e9 is wearing a different headpiece we never saw in the finished film.<\/p>\n<p>The stock reason given as to why it was replaced is that George Lucas felt the movie needed some more action. Here&#8217;s the excerpt from the 2nd draft of <em>Attack of the Clones<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>INT. GEONOSIS, CORRIDORS &#8211; DAY<\/strong><br \/>\nANAKIN and PADM\u00c9 enter the stalagmite city. They stop, looking around in wonder at the emptiness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>PADM\u00c9<\/strong><br \/>\n(in a low voice)<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s empty!<\/p>\n<p>They start forward. As they pass, the surface of the pillars seems to pulse slowly and move. High above WINGED CREATURES grow from the pillars and detach themselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>INT. GEONOSIS, CENTRAL SQUARE &#8211; DAY<\/strong><br \/>\nANAKIN and PADM\u00c9 cross the square, reaching the middle. They stop suddenly as FOUR GEONOSIANS grab them. ANAKIN reaches for his lightsaber.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>PADM\u00c9<\/strong><br \/>\nWait!<\/p>\n<p>TWENTY WINGED GEONOSIANS carrying weapons alight on the flagstones in front of them.<\/p>\n<p>The GEONOSIANS part, and COUNT DOOKU appears. He bows courteously.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>COUNT DOOKU<\/strong><br \/>\nSenator Amidala,<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve heard so much about you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>PADM\u00c9<\/strong><br \/>\nCount Dooku, I assume.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>COUNT DOOKU<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;m delighted to meet you at last.<br \/>\nWe have a great deal to discuss, Senator.<br \/>\nI hope you can keep your young<br \/>\nJedi under control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>PADM\u00c9<\/strong><br \/>\nDon&#8217;t worry he&#8217;s housebroken.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Getting back to the &#8220;Droid Factory&#8221; scene, when the original DVD of the film was released it included what was called a &#8220;Depth&#8221; commentary. If you put the DVD into your computer you could access this exclusive feature which contained numerous facts about the film, one which mentioned a deleted bit from the Droid Factory:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As envisioned, this scene was to have been a direct echo of Luke and Leia&#8217;s Death Star chasm-swing, complete with grappling hook attempt.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is also discussed by sound designer\/editor Ben Burtt in the DVD&#8217;s audio commentary. Apparently,\u00a0Anakin and Padm\u00e9 were going to try and swing across the chasm ala Luke and Leia, but Anakin missed the first try, had to reel the cable in, and try again. Padm\u00e9, according to Burtt, looked at Anakin as if to say, &#8220;Jedi, huh?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So now you&#8217;re probably wondering what chasm we&#8217;re talking about. In the finished film, right before Padm\u00e9 (followed by Anakin) falls down onto the conveyor belt, you&#8217;ll notice she&#8217;s standing on a small ledge which retracts very quickly. Initially, Anakin and Padm\u00e9 were standing on this ledge a bit longer. This is where they tried to swing across the chasm to safety. In some of the related pictures you can clearly see that Anakin&#8217;s focus is on something on the other side of the ledge. He even appears to be reaching for something on his belt. In one image, the door behind them is closed, much like in <em>A New Hope<\/em> when Luke and Leia are on the Death Star&#8217;s ledge.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s common practice for artists who illustrate graphic novel film adaptations to use production stills given to them for reference, well before the film&#8217;s release. If you look closely at the relevant image from the comic adaptation, you&#8217;ll notice two things: First, the floor is very reminiscent of the usual Geonosian floor patterns, and it doesn&#8217;t look like Anakin and Padm\u00e9 are in the hallway outside of the droid factory. Second, it appears that the Geonosians are flying down from far above, just as it&#8217;s written in the original script.<\/p>\n<p><a

before we know it they&#8217;re being wheeled off to be executed without any kind of trial or hearing. In the original edit, however, Count Dooku is a bit more procedural.<\/p>\n<p>There was a scene included on the DVD where Dooku interrogated Anakin and Padm\u00e9, though she was the focus of his questioning. The scene also appears to be somewhat incomplete. The dialogue differs greatly from the script&#8217;s second draft. Jango Fett is present in this scene and is standing behind Dooku. This can be corroborated by some of the published images and by Ben Burtt&#8217;s audio commentary on the DVD.<\/p>\n<p>The excerpt below from <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ISBN=0345431251\/tbonefendersstar\" target=\"_blank\">The Art of Attack of the Clones<\/a><\/em> contains a few other differences from the 2nd draft. The most noticeable ones being Anakin motioning for his lightsaber a few times and Jango Fett taking it away from him at the end of the scene saying, <em>&#8220;I&#8217;ll take that weapon.&#8221; <\/em>After Anakin hesitates to hand it over, Count Dooku tells him, <em>&#8220;You may cause a lot of bloodshed, my young Jedi\u2026 but you will not escape.&#8221;<\/em> Padm\u00e9 then urges Anakin to give it up, and he begrudgingly hands it to Fett. Here&#8217;s the excerpt:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>INT. GEONOSIS, CONFERENCE ROOM &#8211; DAY<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Count Dooku sits at a large conference table with Padm\u00e9 on the far side.
