Holy shit, are you kidding? We went into DETAIL with these things. It'd take forever to go into it, especially since we sketched it out scene by scene, with all the dialog and everything.
I can tell you this, though. Our version of Leia's mother was an ambassador in her thirties. And when our movie starts, deep in the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan and Anakin are almost the same age; Obi-Wan is a padawan (except we called it an apprentice, because we didn't know the term padawan yet) whose master dies in the first scene, in a spaceship explosion, having sent Obi-Wan to get the ambassador to her destination, and Anakin is the pilot (he's a lieutenant; obviously, the real pilot has to stay behind with the ship under attack) who flies the tiny craft they escape in. (Obi-Wan realizes the Force is incredibly strong in Anakin. Later, when the three of them crash land on a planet, he begins teaching Anakin little Force tricks because he thinks it will help their survival, and because he just stopped being a padawan by virtue of, you know, death, he doesn't realize what path he's starting Anakin down. And then, when they get to the Treaty World - wait, no, no, no, I am NOT typing out the whole damn thing. That way lies madness.)
My point, though, is that in our movie, no one started out being, like, EIGHT or whatever. I think that alone makes it a far better version than the one that Lucas wrote. *sulks mightily*
(And you are so not alone. I have my own Episode I-III. Though fandom would hate it because Qui-Gon Jinn does not exist. Yoda is Obi-Wan's Jedi master. Anakin is a star pilot -- JINX -- who is strong with the Force, and Obi-Wan wants to train him but Yoda refuses. So when Obi-Wan is a Master in his own right, he starts teaching Anakin the Force. Meanwhile, Luke and Leia's mom is with them on their adventuring. She is not royalty, yet. Also with them is Bail Organa, who is the comic relief sidekick. He loves her with hopeless devotion, but she has eyes for Anakin. When things go very badly, Bail -- revealed to be in the line of succession for the throne -- takes her in to raise her daughter as his own. Also, Anakin cripples Yoda in an epic battle, which is why Yoda has the limp in ESB.
And why did they leave Luke on Tattooine with known family and without changing his name? Because he was the decoy. Obi-Wan tells Owen and Beru that Luke's mom is dead. So if Vader went looking, he'd find Luke... and quit, leaving Leia and her mom alone under the protection of the royal family of Aldaraan.)
