Really she's there to keep Anakin grounded and in a sense act as the more everyday person when he starts becoming a serious Jedi. There's a bit of Grant/Hepburn dynamic with the two of them, with both driven a little crazy by the other, but also deeply appreciate of those very qualities. She's his connection to his humanity more than even Obi-Wan is, and once he loses that, he falls hard.

I like your use of classical Hollywood-age actors in your description of your film's screenplay. It makes me wish we could clone those actors for use in the Star Wars prequels. :)
