Back to the original topic, I'm totally perplexed and undecided as to how I would want Luke and Leia's mother to look like, be like as a character, or even be named. As much as I dislike the Prequel Films, I almost want to just call her Padme (although I'd ditch the "Amidala" for certain). I think about her possibly looking like Carrie, or looking more noble like Natalie herself, or if she should look like a "retro" girl, or a modern looking actress (i.e. a Jodie Foster vs. an Emma Watson). Recently, though, I've been leaning towards a Jacqueline Bisset visage, because she had a "retro" 1970s look, was very gorgeous, projected a very approachable and sympathetic demeanor (perfect for Anakin's wife/girlfriend!), and is more believable as Carrie Fisher's mother than Natalie Portman.

Can't you just see her with the iconic space-buns?!?

As to her character?!? Besides being a sympathetic, loving, and consoling woman, I kind of see her as being very fun, energetic, sweet, and adventurous (I mean, why else is she with a star-pilot and warrior who embarks on Idealistic Crusades?!?). Also, it would make HER transform along with her husband, as she will eventually become the "beautiful...but sad" dying mother Leia recounts in Return of the Jedi.
