(Post-PT informed) The first prequel might begin with assembling the trio. It might be possible to see them being inducted into the Jedi Order.

Padme could be an apprentice knight? She was a princess of "The Daughters of the Amidala" an ancient sect of Force wielders on her homeworld. These Force women were amoung the founders of the Jedi order a thousand generations in the past. The daughters could be the descendants of the great Amidala.

Could pick up Ani on his home world. It is already invaded and being taken over by the clones. The masses are being enslaved to help establish this new order. Ani and his family are slaves. Ani is involved in the resistance.

A Jedi master might also find Obi at this point.

Two of the trio might be from the same world to avoid traveling.

(Project) The Pru might start out as just a military regime trying to protect it's systems from the clones.

(PT) Palpy rises to prominence by preaching a doctrine of a way between the Anti-clone position of most of the galaxy and the radical program of the cloners. All must understand that in order to fight off the clones, some of the clone methods must be adopted by non-clones. An army must be raised. At first, Palpy diguises that he wants a total war army of clones to fight clones. He says he wants to stop the bloodshed and increase trade and non-clone production.
