The recent talk here has centered around starting the film as the queen escapes Naboo. I think we might have talked about it before too.
I still love the idea. It puts you right in the center of the action and sets up the good guys and bad guys right away.
Plus it gives us the opportunity to later revisit Naboo as a through narrative instead of going back to it. The OT always had us going from one planet to the next with the heroes.
