“There are a number of deleted scenes in Revenge of the Sith, mostly involving Padmé and some senators, that would have benefited the film greatly if they had been fully realised. They would have:
Given better context on the political state of the Republic and how Palpatine is already Emperor in anything but name.
Given Padmé more agency in the film.
Provided seeds for the future Rebellion that feel natural.
Shown the growing rift between Padmé and Anakin, her keeping secrets from him, and him being turned against her by Palpatine.
Made Bail Organa have more screen time.”
