Leia out of respect for family titles decide to retain their names, similarly to how some women decide to retain their family surname anyway when marrying. Anyway I believed particularly as she is reffered to as in the cast list as Padme, that Amidala was a dignitary name that was given to her when she was voted in as the Queen
I am so bored, seriously, no one can stop me

Oh, I know in the timeline there's a ten year gap. What I'm saying is that from the viewers aspect it' a big jump to kinda ignore.I guess Palpy will have been gathering power during the 10 year gap but I just feel it would still be a little too soon for him to declare himself Emperor.
Yeah, talking to yourself is cool, I do it all the time, that makes me super cool

I just got the new Aurra Sing figure and it had an info booklet-type thing in it. So I thought I'd share some of this knowledge:____________________________________________________________
"Trained by the rogue Jedi, the Dark Woman, this former Jedi apprentice is shrouded in as much mystery as her former master.Claiming to have been sold to the Sennex Pirates by the Dark Woman, Aurra was later purchased by Walla the Hutt as a dancing girl. Realizing she would be more valuable as a killer than as a pleasure slave, Walla sent her to be trained as an assassin by the Anzati.
Aurra Sing now employs her prowess and training as a bounty hunter. She despises Jedi and derives pleasure from stalking Force-sensitive prey. Aurra carries a trophy case of several lightsabres as a testament to her skill"
____________________________________________________________This would explain why she was at the podrace in Ep1 (watch her, she sees all the others fly past but only follows anakin's pod). She must be onto something in Ep1-probably Palpy's payroll.
I don't know whether you all knew this from the DH comics and stuff, but it's for people like me who don't read them.

I don't think we will find out anything about Palpatine's past in the prequels. Its the story of Anakin Skywalker, not Emperor Palpatine. Don't get me wrong, I would love to hear his story, but I don't think that Lucas will tell it. Maybe there will be a book eventually.
It would actually hurt to get kicked in the teeth. Quick, someone volunteer, so I can see if your teeth actually get knocked in.
