WARNING! THE FOLLOWING MAY SPOIL THE MOVIE (but who hasn't seen it yet?)

We got a Queen Amidala minifig (Padme), so what we really want is the fake
queen.

Also, though a completely different subject, I have a feeling that Anikan/Vader
will mary padme because:
1. *He talks about loving her in Episode 1.

2. *Luke is Princess Leia's brother

3. *PRINCESS Leia suggests she has a royal family

4. *Padme is royalty

5. *See #1
