It was the main conflict looking at the season as a whole which is why I agree she was the protagonist later on, but at the start there was too much else happening.

If click on the evil vs evil link, you see Darth Vader and Darth Maul fighting. Darth Vader was the main focus if that story, but that doesn't make him the protagonist. Just too villains intent on killing one another, with one that's we would rather win.
