I would have Padme on Coruscant representing her people with representative Binks...

Sorry Bingo, you lost me there. JK ;)

But in all seriousness, I'd rather have our protagonists be upset that they are stuck on Tatooine while their home planet gets invaded, it adds more suspense to the story. Screw Jar Jar, I'm rotoscoping him out of these movies, he's going to be completely gone, there's no way to preserve that abomination without leaving viewers cringing at the sight of him lol. Interesting idea though, my idea for the opening is that it should Mirror ANH in that it starts off with a battle in space where our heroes are losing and have to escape to Tatooine (where they meet our other protagonists)
