Now, here's something that's been on my mind. How do you all think Padme should fit into all of this? I've had a lot of pretty vague ideas. Here are a few:

-She was married to Anakin before the events of Episode 1. She was kidnapped by the Mandalorians (basically the stormtroopers of my prequels) to use as a slave. Anakin rescues her during the adventure.

-She is a royal from Alderaan who has an affair with Anakin. (harder to work into the story, but one of the cooler ideas imo)

-Meets Obi-Wan and Anakin during adventure. Love triangle between them a-la Luke and Han in OT.

-(very similar to TPM) She is a representative of the Queen of Alderaan instructed to accompany Obi-Wan on his journey. (Not too fond of this one but I think I could make it work.)

What do you guys think is the best way to work her into the story? Do you have other ideas? Please share.
