I was reading my novelization of the film, and u know how when writing a novelization 4 a movie, authors tend 2 make up a bunch of their own scenes 2 make the story more in-depth? Well the author put in an odd, yet amusing tickle scene. It takes place on the Lars moisture farm, while Anakin is looking 4 his mother. Padme gets in2 a comforting conversation w/ See-Threepio. Let's begin here:
"Don't worry about Master Annie," the droid assured her, moving over to pat her shoulder. "He can take care of himself. Even in this awful place."
"Awful?" Padme asked. "You're not happy here?"
C-3PO stepped back and held his hands wide, showing his battered coverings and the chipped insulation in thise areas where some of his wiring showed. Padme movered forward, bending to see, and noticed sand clinging in many of the droid's joints.
"Well, this is a very harsh environment, I'm afraid," the droid explained. "And when Master Annie made me, he never quite found the time to give me any outer coverings. Mistress Shmi did well in finishing me, but even with the coverings, the wind and the sand are quite harsh. It gets in under my coverings, and it's quite...itchy."
"Itchy?" Padme echoed with a laugh--a much needed laugh.
"I do not know how else to describe it, Miss Padme. And I fear that the sand is doing damage to my wiring."
Padme looked all around, her gaze settling on a chain hoist over an open tub of dark liquid. "You need an oil bath," she said.
"Oh, I would welcome a bath!"
Glad for the distraction, Padme moved to the oil tub and began sorting out the hoist chain. In a short while she had C-3PO secured and everything in place, and she gently lowered the droid into the oil.
"Oooh!" the droid cried. "That tickles!"
"Tickles? You're sure it's not an itch?"
"I do know the difference between a tickle and an itch," C-3PO answered. Padme giggle and forgot, for a while, all of her troubles.
If only this scene was in the script. Even if she didn't get tickled, it still would have been a treat 2 hear adorable Natalie SAY the "t" word.
