Padme Lives On?
Padmé does not appear in the original trilogies, therefore Lucasfilm had her die in childbirth to explain her absence. What is the explanation for this? She simply loses her will to life after giving birth to twins and dies of a shattered heart. The weak explanation enraged fans, who were understandably disappointed. After all, it’s not the most appropriate conclusion for such a determined and clever guy. In between takes, Natalie Portman and Ewan McGregor converse as Padmé sits on the delivery table, offering viewers a peek of what might have been.

Jake Lloyd Has Some Fun On Set
Both Ahmed Best (Jar-Jar) and Jake Lloyd (Anakin) were chastised for their roles in the prequels. Lloyd was a ten-year-old youngster when he shot The Phantom Menace, as evidenced by this photo of him goofing around on set with a Rodian. In the photo, he appears to be having a wonderful time on set, but he has subsequently abandoned the brand, trashing all of his Star Wars memorabilia.
