People don’t talk enough about how Padme made the exact same “mistake” her own son would make almost thirty years later.
Everyone remembers that time Luke was training/hiding on Dagobah, but the moment he sensed his friends were in danger he raced to help them, and risked all that they fought for.
“If you choose the quick and easy path…you will become an agent of evil.”
Padme was supposed to be in hiding while trying to prevent a war from starting. She was supposed to be lying low, but as soon as her friend Obi-Wan Kenobi was in danger, she raced off to help him and got captured. The Jedi were forced to intervene violently in order to stop the execution and rescue her little gang, and thus Padme (by no real fault of her own, save the ease with which a certain Chancellor could manipulate her) inadvertently started the Clone Wars.
Like Mother, like Son.
