This brings to mind the attack scene in Episode 1 where Padme/Amidala is
leading the attack to the Queen's chamber. She's right out in front of the
attack squad, and displays some pretty accurate blaster fire. Compare to
the scene in Episode IV where Luke pilots his X-Wing across the surface of
the Death Star and seems to fire wildly, but the next image is a firing crew
from a laser cannon being blasted. It would seem that 'the force' was
guiding Luke's fire, perhaps Padme/Amidala was being guided the same way?
Perhaps 'the force' runs strong in her family, as well? Could that be
another reason that Amidala and Anakin get together??
BTW: great discussions in this thread -- it's been fun to follow!
