ok i assume that all the main players and staffers here have or soon will have copies of ep III. I am hoping yall have watched the deleted scenes, I was wondering

1) how far are we from the events of that movie in terms of our timeline
2) since Padme is a player here, when she gets back from being Honked, i assume we will be exploring the subplot of the formation of what later becomms the rebellion, what place if any would Taell have when this is going on, do you think she should still be around as the fly on the wall, or off on something else for a while.
3) what changes from cannon are we willing to conssider, I know its been discussed to have Padme live in our timeline, though I think letting much of the Galaxy beleive she is dead is probably healthy for her.
