Recently, I came across Revenge of the Sith for the Gameboy Advance. It’s a nice little game and the pixel art is adorable.
I didn’t expect to see Padme in it though, she’s not a playable character but I was surprised she had a few brief scenes, which makes better sense of the storyline because the gameplay drastically cuts it down.
Padme’s second appearance with Anakin is more dramatic and little more traumatizing than how the film portrays it, as you can see above, Anakin uses quite the force… :/
If you get to the end of the story you’re rewarded with some nice stills of Obi-wan helping Padme, and of course Anakin/Vader’s grief.
Jedi robes and lightsabers are hell to draw and I don’t know how the people on the official Star Wars comics do it month after month. Padmé’s dress was inspired by this beautiful Ashi Studio creation!
First impression: It’s funny, she wasn’t in the movie much, but she definitely made a good impression. I love that she was actually Padme’s friend, that the movie remembered to give her friends not directly connected to the plot
Impression now: I still her like a lot and I’m really glad she catapulted Rose Byrne onto bigger things
Favorite moment: Probably “It’s not me, my lady, I worry about you.”
Idea for a story: I want to know what happened to her during the Rebellion. Her and all the handmaidens, really. Did they fade into the background and lead quiet lives? Did they fight? Did they die?
Unpopular opinion: Um….I like Attack of the Clones?
Favorite relationship: Her and Padme! Like I said, I’m just so pleased Padme was granted at least one close female friendship as well
Favorite headcanon: After Padme’s death, Dorme essentially joined the Naberrie family, because they were united in their grief. After a few years had gone by, Padme’s nieces even called her “Auntie”.
The darkness will not forget a heart that ruled the skies and moved a galaxy to tell the story of how one falling star sparked the uprising of the ages.
… Anakin Skywalker would have so, so much explaining to do. :X
“ALL OF THEM, ANAKIN, REALLY??”
“NONE OF THEM, MASTER, I SWEAR!!”
Padmé is just subtly wincing in the background and Palpatine and his thousand-year plan are Doomed because there is literally no way he can make Anakin buy that ALL OF THESE WOMEN are gonna die tragically and unavoidably in childbirth without the power of the Dark Side, THERE’S LIKE FIFTEEN OF THEM FFS, IF NOTHING ELSE STATISTICS ARE GONNA WIN THERE.
Everyone blames Anakin. For once it was actually not his fault, but that doesn’t matter, everyone is CONVINCED it was and everyone blames him. Except the handmaidens, mind, who of course know perfectly well he never touched a single one of them and all just EYE Padmé.
Padmé s w e a t s.
Anakin would be upset about being unfairly blamed for fifteen pregnancies he DEFINITELY had nothing to do with, except this means ALL THE BABIES FOR HIM. >> The risk of being drummed out of the Order is a problem but SIXTEEN BABIES is kind of distracting and look, look, friend: if you think Anakin Skywalker would not be the kind of dad-in-waiting to work overtime to upgrade all the nanny droids and fetch space pickles and space ice cream at three AM given even HALF the chance, then I’m sorry, we CAN’T be friends, we just can’t. The handmaidens literally don’t even have to ask, Anakin is THERE.
Meanwhile Palpatine is like “we are trying to have a war here?” and the Council is like “yes we’re aware but Amidala is apparently having TWINS now so in fact Skywalker might be about to have THIRTY-TWO children, so no, no we’re not, we refuse, war over, we are all taking our clones and going HOME”.
