I actually don't think Leia is all that great. I know, boo, hiss me. I still like her and stuff. I just think it's foolish to say that she was on par with the boys in terms of the focus and dignity with which she was treated. I always liked her as a kid and everything, but I don't think it's enough that she was "better than the competition."
So, to be honest, I didn't really feel that Padme and Leia were so different after all. He tried to make them both awesome but ~feminine~ and undercut them both. It's just that you noticed more with Padme because he just stopped being good at having ideas and writing them down (that's the nicest way I can say that).
