I had a long thought about Anakin and Padme ...

we have this "Vader" problem, and Haydn doesn't seem "nice" enough to be OUR hero, so either replace him or maybe better insert another "Anakin" and leave Haydn unnamed or as Vader-type pupil of Obi-Wan ...

in hindsight, even the notion of Leonardo DiCaprio as Anakin, isn't that bad anymore, seeing his later films (or Django!) - also a guy like James Franco could support the role more with just his look and play

As for Padma, main thing is that she dies at the end ... it doesn't seem right, from any point of view, better have some things offscreen, not all must be shown and told - too bad she hadn't some scenes with Bail and his family (on Alderaan), so we really should port Naboo or the idea of havning Alderaan in the prequels ...

@darklordoftech

If we have "Sith" it should be a BIG mystery, not the Jedi, not anyone in the movies should have A definite answer - they keep in the shadows and only appear from time to time!

if we leave the Sith out of the story, a question remains: why is Vader the Lord of the Sith ? (is this really mentioned in the OT ?)
