Before the prequels were finalized, the story of Anakin and his wife was actually pretty different. Back in 1981, George Lucas's notes described Mrs. Skywalker as a concerned wife who started noticing her husband acting strange after he began hanging out with an elected official who was basically a Richard Nixon type. In this version, Anakin wasn’t trying to save her from a vision; he was being manipulated into becoming a secret Jedi assassin, picking off other Jedi in the shadows while everyone else still trusted him. When things eventually boiled over at the volcano, Obi-Wan thought he’d finished Anakin off, and he actually went back to explain the whole truth to his wife—that her husband was the one killing all the Jedi. Instead of dying in childbirth, she took Leia to Alderaan and lived there for a few years, allowing Leia to actually have those "vivid images" of her mother that she mentions in Return of the Jedi. Visually, the very first time we even saw them together was in 1993, when artist Brian Ashmore painted "The Skywalker Flame" for a trading card set; it showed a short haired Anakin in all black standing over a woman holding baby Luke, years before the name "Padme" was ever mentioned
