Favorite Deleted scene from the TPM DVD?

[Chris Belle]

I think my favorite deleted scene is the extended podrace, what is yours?

From TPM, I like the Extended Podrace Grid Sequence, because of all the kewl aliens.

From AOTC, I like the Anakin/Padme Trial Scene, because of the tiny bit of humor in it.

HRM........ I guess I like the part where they are getting out of the gungan sub. They shoulda left that in there, it was neat.

On AOTC, I didn't really like any of them... I can't remember them right now either, cause they were just sorta lame.... The padme family sucked. lol

The extended pod-race sequence definately kicked ass, it had an extra Tusken sniper or two in there, which really made me happy.  
The AOTC extras was more subtle, but I'd say these 3 are tied :
1) the droids in the library scene
2) the Jedi Starfighter hangar scene
3) Trial scene.

Brad, the question was about Episode 1 (TPM) and not AOTC.  But since you brought it up here's my favorite deleted scenes from both movies...

THE PHANTOM MENACE
-- Podrace

ATTACK OF THE CLONES
-- Jedi Star Figther Platform
-- Library Research Droids

[Obi-Wan]

TPM:
Podrace

AOTC:
Library Research Droids
Jedi Starfighter hangar

I liked the seene when Jar Jar, Obi-Wan, and Qui-Gon got off the water transporter by going along the cable in the waves, too bad Jar Jar didn't get knocked off the rope.

[Darth Kenobi]

My favorite scene was the pod race scene followed by the Sith Droid scene.  I felt sorry for the poor Podracer family after he crashed.

Mine is the Sith probe scene; that's the one I wanted to see since my first viewing of TPM.

[Geonosian]

  I agree. When I first saw the scene I wondered why they took it out of the film. It helped explain why Qui Gon and Anakin were running back to the Starship.


As far as the AOTC. My favorite scene was the trial scene because, in my opinion, the more scenes on Geonosis the better.

Also, I wish that Lucas would have left the scene in AOTC where Senator Amidala addresses the Senate about creating the army.

Exactly! From spoilers/storybooks,etc... I knew how the scene was supposed to play out; and when I saw it was cut...   . I cringe everytime I see them running 'for no apparent reason'

 I'd have liked to see the entire extended podrace and the farewell to Jira scene placed into the main film, but I'll just have to wait 25 years for The Phantom Menace : Special Edition  

[Mainland05]

Sad but true?

Will there be a 25th year anniversary?

[Morbius]

 Knowing George Lucas the special edition'll probably come out in 2009

Special Edition?  

We already got all the bonus scenes, delted scenes already.  Why would he do that, it just makes no sense to me.  But George never made since in the first place.
