Let's face it. Boga was a hit with just about everyone. Everybody loves that lizard with the feathered head. In the finished film, we're introduced to her rather abruptly as Obi-Wan takes her out of the pen and into a climb up to Utapau's 10th level.

Aayla Secura, a last minute addition to EPISODE II due to George Lucas' admiration of an expanded universe illustration, is definitely a fan favorite. The reason she's so popular will vary depending on if you talk to males or females, however.

When the Jedi bump into Count Dooku while trying to rescue the kidnapped Chancellor, it's the ultimate grudge match. What the Jedi don't know is that the one they're trying to save is the one who has perfectly orchestrated everything.

Originally, the planet of Utapau wasn't supposed to be inhabited by the creepy aliens of Tion Medon's race. Instead, Utapau was supposed to have a race of lemur-like beings.

The Organa and Antilles families are quite well known on Alderaan and to a point, we should assume, Coruscant as well.

...and witnesses a terrible truth.

He's too young, yes. Too young to be in the film.

I think we all knew from the start that the shortsighted Separatist Council was always pretty much doomed. You don't make "deals" with a Sith Lord. A Sith will use you for what you're worth and then eliminate you when you've outgrown your usefulness, as evident in EPISODE III when Anakin/Vader takes out the whole group in one big Mustafar massacre.

"Another happy landing," quips Obi-Wan as what's left of the Invisible Hand comes to a rough stop somewhere on Coruscant. The scene then wipes to a shuttle carrying Palpatine and the Jedi to meet Mace Windu and more Senators than you can shake a lightsaber at. This wasn't exactly how it was planned when they originally shot the film, though. In the original drafts, everyone met at the crash site as evident in the Comic Adaptation. I've included some scans from the comic at the bottom of the page so you can see how the scene was originally intended to play out.

From a perilous crash landing in the hangar bay to an even more perilous crash landing on the surface of Coruscant, Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi had a rough time navigating their way through General Grievous' flagship: The Invisible Hand. Unfortunately, due to time constraints and flow issues, many of the dangers the Jedi encountered, some with Chancellor Palpatine in tow, had to be deleted from the final film, but I'll try to cover as much as I can on this page.
