^ "wars not make one great "- Master Yoda . I think she is both . She started out as a senator from Alderaan . I liked that the early EU , before EU was a term for it , addressed the issue of Leia being torn between being a diplomat and a military leader in the wake of ROTJ in the original Marvel Star Wars comic …https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Wars_90:_The_Choice

Oh sure Yoda, not like you ever started any wars…

Leia is best shooting stormtroopers right in the face. Blam.

Some of my favorite Leia moments were her struggles in the foundering New Republic early days where she had to keep composure amidst extremely trying situations and petty squabbling. Thus one could understand why she loved to just grab a blaster and run…

I know that everyone hates Padmé on the forum, but I genuinely love her. She’s my favorite female character from the Prequel era.

I actually liked Padme in Phantom Menace. And other than excusing Anakin killing the Tusken’s she was alright in the second, she is basically just barefoot and pregnant in the third, because they cut out all the scenes where she was a leader. The founding of the rebellion scenes should have stayed in the movie. I also think the scenes with her family humanized Anakin and Padme and should have stayed as well in Attack of the Clones.

Lucas wants the movies to be super fast paced and to never lag. I like the Tatooine scenes with Beru and Owen in II and Anakin’s family. Way too short. Its like he extends the really bad cgi scenes in the prequel and the over the top action and avoids human scenes because he is bad at writing them.

Padme’s only tolerable when she’s in action mode and doesn’t speak.

“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution… There can be only one permanent revolution — a moral one: the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.”

I still don’t understand why you hate her. Lol.

And I don’t understand why you love her.

It’s a cilantro-type situation, I suppose.

I don’t like Padme. She loses the will to live because her heart got broken, despite having just given birth to two newborn children. Is being there for her vulnerable infants not enough to give her the will to live? Fuck them kids?

We could start a discussion about her death, but I personally am of the opinion that it would be a perfect waste of time. You don’t like it, while I’m able to rationalize it. Both opinions are fair. What I want to specify, though, is that there are plenty of Padmé fans who don’t like her death, and even say that it openly contradicts the essence of her character. Just like there are a ton of Mara Jade fans who don’t like the way they killed her off in Legacy of the Force, there are also a lot of Padmé fans who don’t like the way she died. So, liking a certain character doesn’t mean that you have to like the way that character died, because a character is way more than his/her death.

What is the essence of her character? I’m curious of what you see in her.
