but she had a better function and brought more to the story. There was no need for padme to be in it... like; Jar Jar could have been senator from the start. She was only there to get children and nothing more.

One wrong does not make a slaugher right. Plus Anakin is supposed to be a guardian of peace and justice. Or in Spiderman terms: with great power comes great responsibility. There is no excuse for Anakin and especially for him, this is uberfreakish.
How many wrongs make a slaughter right? I doubt Anakin stopped to think about what he was doing, you can tell after his mother died he was uberpissed. He totally acted in anger and rage, I assume in vengeance also.
The slaughtering of the Tuskens is in a way foreshadowing what is to become of Anakin.
Anakin has always been full of hate, fear and anger. His issue with the Sand people just pushed him a step further to what he will ultimately become.
The slaughter of the sand people advanced the story of Anakin.

For a Senator, Amidala really epitomized the dumb broad who fell for the serial killer/heretic/psychopath.
He massacres a village, defies his very lifestyle by getting married and having kids, whines and b*tches his ass off about dribble anyone else after ten years of separation would find annoying, falls to the darkside, wipes out the Jedi etc. etc.
But not to worry, there's still good in him... 23 years of galactic terror later, it decided to emerge in one last act of betrayal.

Considering he's a Jedi? No wrongs make a slaughter right, that's the entire thing about being a jedi: they never slaughter anyone for any reason... except the forces of darkness (which the tuskens aren't)
You wrote he acted in anger, rage and vengeance... indeed, that is why it is wrong for him to do: it is not the Jedi way as he says it himself!
And of course iti s foreshadowing, but that is not the point here; it is the point that he did wrong.

He obviously did "wrong." But the Anakin in Episode II is getting closer to the Darth Vader we see in Episode III. Something like that had to happen to advance his character for the next film.
We were talking about PAdme's POV. How could she still fall mindlessly in love with this freak. That was a major eye opener and is also the point where I feel Lucas failed miserably at making the love story stick.
I think the best solution than would be that he didn't tell her at all?

and that Luke's and Leia's mom was just some prostitute he met on coruscant?

I don't like episode 5 and 2.But generally speaking i like the prequels better.But again Star Wars afterlife is probably different,getting slaughtered as a good person is probably FAR better than getting badly burned and need a stupid life support system for the rest of your life.
