Maby, maby not

Why is that?

The rumours said so. There is some distinct evidence that Padme is a Senator in Ep2 and thus goes by the name of Padme and no longer by her queen's name Amidala. Naboo will have another queen. Remember, the queens (and kings?) of Naboo are elected, they may therefore also have terms.

There was something else. I heard there might be some kind of conflict or misunderstanding between OB1 and Anakin about Padme's supposed death. A conflict that paves the way for Anakin's turn. I do feel we first need to see that Padme and Anakin are in love before we can credibly believe Anakin is pissed when he is wrongly informed about the death of his beloved. That's why she can't disappear at the beginning of the film. IMHO OC.

Yes, and the Padme goes into hiding and It's announced that she's been killed in the Senate.

But I doubt this will all happen at the very beginning of the film. We'll have to see though.

I'd have to pretty much go with queeq on this one (did I say that again???) GL may throw that Romeo and Juliet twist in ep2. i.e., anakin thinks padme is dead but is mistaken.

And then he swallows poison.

No, JarJar swallows poison by mistake.

Padme and Anakins relationship/marriage we know is doomed anyway, might as well make it as tragic as possible..its supposed to be a dark picture, right ?

I'm beginning to worry about you, Gundy... agreeing with me and all. You have definately turned to th Dark Side.

That's the first step.
