This part is the best part on this last chapter.
padme amidala
I apologize for the humungo post, I wanted all the images together in a master post instead of separate installments.
Remember the Jedi Knight Japanese Dictionary I posted about, with the artists Chifuyu Sasaki and Naoko Kawano? Well, @ciette on tumblr actually purchased the book (so lucky!) and was so kind in letting me see the inside by scanning all the A/P images. I haven’t gotten the book myself yet (I will someday, hopefully) but getting these scans was a major relief as I’m not all over the place wondering what I was missing out on. To top it off, it was right near my birthday; such a great gift! I wanted to post these one the 16th but circumstances made it too difficult. I’m just happy all over. I did my best; ran them through lots of filters, and with some personal touches, I think I just about re-created the look as they are in the book.
For more inside, check out ciette’s post as she also shares images from the Padawan Learners Dictionary. :D
Lots of Love.
She was not a Jedi, she was not a rebel princess with an attitude, and she was not the renegade pilot that loves the smell of trouble and joins a cause for chaos, but Padmé Amidala didn’t need to be any of those things. For all intents and purposes, Padmé was one of the two most important people in the galaxy at the time of her death, for more reasons than the children that she had just birthed.
Padmé had already made her mark on the galaxy before Luke and Leia were born. She had already started the Rebel movement by defying the old ways of the Galactic Trade Federation, breaking down barriers of fear between alien races, and making a lasting mark on the most dangerous monster in the galaxy; the final mark that saved the last spark of Anakin Skywalker’s humanity until he met their children and found redemption in them.
So next time you’re thinking about a useless supporting character, don’t think of Her Excellency, Senator Padmé Amidala (-Skywalker) of Naboo. She certainly wouldn’t think of anyone that way.
