    He continued, “She’s always presented as very proper and sober and perfectly put together all the time in canon and it just seemed like that was such a perfect opportunity to say, ‘Well what’s really going on behind here?’

      She does have speaking lines in a few deleted scenes from Revenge of the Sith. She's definitely more of a shitlib there, she even admits to being a Republic loyalist than a radical.
