I think that if the neimoidians and the Trade Federation do have a role in the future, it will be in Episode 2 alone. I think that we'll see the end of the droid armies as they make way for clones. With regards to the storyboards, I doubt that the neimoidian was Rune or Nute, I think they both went down for a LONG time after Episode 1 (mind you, the Federation could probably afford bail). As I remember, that description said "The neimoidian is hit by the flame". I thought that that shot would be a bit violent for the kiddies, even showing someone lightsliced or blasted wouldn't be nearly as violent as showing a shrieking, fish-like alien running round on fire 'til they're a smouldering pile. Maybe the flames just lick him, who knows...
The rumours of those Federation fighters said that they would be manned by a neimoidian each, so maybe it's just their droid armies that we'll see the end of, and not their role in the plot.
