And in the original Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith ending, George Lucas had something much better planned for the birth mother of twins Luke and Leia Skywalker.
At the time, McCaig revealed that the original plan was to have Padme actively turn on her then-husband Anakin Skywalker, as played in the movies by Hayden Christensen.
Padme pulled a knife on Anakin in the original ending, and put it to his throat.
In the original draft of the screenplay, Padme sets of for Mustafar, where she plans to confront and possible kill Anakin Skywalker.
