Saving Private Padme
Allow me to elaborate...
Just because she's pregnant doesn't mean she's totally worthless... She was still a senator was she not? I'm not expecting her to have more gun-toting adventures (in fact, it would have been cheesy if she had).
I would have liked to see her in action as a concerned and involved government official. Perhaps show her in her office coordinating medical and food aid for planets affected by the war, sending ships to help refugees, something like that. It also would have broken up the monotony of all the scenes she had with Anakin. (They could have scenes someplace besides her Mount Olympus apartment. Because that's where we always see her, it gives the impression that she never leaves.) He comes into her office and she's like, "Anakin I've been so busy dealing with the aftermath of the war... It's good to see you."
Here's my suggestion to revamp her death scene. After she gives birth to the kids, she's heartbroken that Anakin wasn't there, but FINE physically. After a short while, she's convinced that if she confronts Anakin, she can get him to come back. Obi Wan doesn't think it's a good idea, but she says "I'm a member of the Senate, what are they going to do?" Meanwhile, Anakin has been in healing up this whole time (seemed sort of odd that they just packed him into that suit and 5 minutes later he's fine), and is still out of it. Padme hops aboard her ship and returns to Coruscant. The Emperor finds out she's coming back and fears that Padme may be able to turn Vader. So he has her blown out of the sky. Just before Vader's helmet is put into place, his eyes snap open as he realizes that she's dead. His scream of agony and loss is muffled by the helmet snapping into place.
The next time we see Vader, he's storming down the hall to the Emperor. He says, "Padme's dead. What happened?" The Emperor replies, "Remnants of the Separatists killed her. A rebellion is breaking out among those who oppose our new Empire." Vader says, "Rebels?! I will hunt them down and kill them, down to the last woman and child." As Vader heads off to the fleet, the Emperor smiles to himself knowing that he's won.
Canyon said:Great reviews, guys, but will you leave Padme alone!
She's heavily pregnant, for crying out loud. A lot of pregnant women are constantly riding an emotional rollercoaster and she not only has that to deal with, but the possibility that she might lose Anakin, or she may even die herself.
