She holds a knife to his throat, he doesn’t resist, but she loves him too much to actually end his life. The rest plays out as normal iirc.
I’m guessing it was cut because the idea of Anakin dying at that point is absurd, so the scene would have no tension. It’s a shame though, it would make Padmé a lot more tragic (knowing she needs to kill him but being Unable to even with the fate of the galaxy at stake) and Anakin a lot more evil in direct comparison (since he has fallen so far that he Can kill her). It would also make his accusation that Padmé brought Obi-Wan to kill him make waaaaaay more sense.
I would say that Padmé being in denial as she is in the film is probably more realistic?
But SW has never cared about that, it cares about story and themes and characters and tragedy, so they really should have gone with this ending.
Count Dooku’s iconic curved lightsaber hilt is coincidentally similar to the curved hilt sabre of historic king and emperor Charlemagne, of whom Christopher Lee (who portrayed Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus) was a direct descendant.

Mad Max: Fury Road and practically every film JJ Abrams has ever made including The Force Awakens.
All Martin Scorsese films
I’m pretty sure every Woody Allen film (he honestly can’t direct his films are saved by the grace of his editors so add that to the pile of reasons to hate him)
Every good Star Wars films (the original trilogy and The Force Awakens)
Joss Whedon’s editor is Lisa Lassek
Dede Allen did Bonnie and Clyde, The Breakfast Club, Dog Day Afternoon, The Adams Family…
Like
Yes.
Women rule post production
Which means we have final say on the movie
We’re the ones that control your emotions
Don’t forget it.
Literally the reason why the first Star Wars trilogy was largely phenomenal, but the prequels a hot mess.
Between the two?
George Lucas divorced his editor.
The number of high profile directors who work with the same unsung female editor on all their projects is actually kind of astounding.
