Well, I do know people who wanted it hinted at!
The waterfall scene in TPM wasn't completed. Neither were parts of the pod- race line up.
They had plenty of time to complete that scene. They've made a decision not to. It's got nothing to do with "time".
No, they were in their mid-20s and perfectly reasonable people.
The waterfall scene was small and required relatively little work, and even then was included only on a DVD released 18 months after the film whilst the DCS assault is bloody huge and very complex indeed- a fight scene, no less, the hardest things to do; they would have to put in the droids and the laser blasts and what-not; it would take ages- and released on a DVD coming only SIX months after the original.
To expect its inclusion would be hopeful at the very least; I reckon time has a lot to do with it.
Of course we are interested. It's also interesting though to discuss these things.
And indeed, the waterfall scene in TPM was fairly easy to do. Just imagine what it would have taken to make all these extensive backgrounds (which means creating ALL of the ships), all the battle droids, lightsabre's, explosions etc. etc. Now that IS a lot of work. And once again, even storywise it was dropped a long time ago so there probably didn't go too much work in finishing the very scene itself.
I've always thought that the fx work had been started on that scene long ago. Didn't Rick McCallum say something about that?
I remember him being asked about the Jedi fighting in the arena and he metioned that Ki-Adi and Plo Kloon had there own little story that they dropped it during editing because of time. He made it sound like it was all filmed and the fx were there.
