Exactly. One might think that Padme was another pawn in Palpatine’s game. But in reality she was the catalyst to both his rise and fall.

The fact the Palpatine considered Padme to be a problem should underscore how important and influential she was. She was one of the few characters in Star Wars to do things that threw him off guard, multiple times. It happened in The Phantom Menace when she went back to Naboo to fight, and twice that I can remember in The Clone Wars. The first is in "Heroes on Both Sides" when she and Ahsoka sneak into Separatist territory to kick-start negotiations...when she informs Palpatine that she has made contact with the Separatist government and that they want to talk, we see him turn away, frowning, and ask "How was this contact established?" Then in "Pursuit of Peace," Padme delivers a passionate speech about how the war is affecting Republic citizens, and manages to sway the senate away from voting for further clone production. Afterward, we see Palpatine exasperated, and when Mas Amedda asks what he's going to do, he says "For now we must adhere to the principles of our democracy. We must let the wheels of the senate turn." Ian Abercrombie brilliantly delivers the last word through gritted teeth, demonstrating how pissed he is at being forced back into a waiting position. Palpatine viewed most people as pawns to be played, but he viewed Padme as an obstacle to get around or eliminate, someone that could actually pose a threat to his plans. AND SHE WASN'T EVEN FORCE SENSITIVE. She was just a damn good politician.

For girls who grew up with Star Wars in the late 90’s early 2000’s, Padmé was our Princess Leia. A lot of us looked up to her as inspiration and as a source of empowerment. Always thought she was an awesome character, and it wasn’t just because she was pretty. Seeing her torn up but unbothered, fighting side by side with the jedi at the climax of ep. 2, was always a highlight for me as a kid.

She's (probably) unaware of it, but she threw Palpatine (a Sith Lord!) off guard a few times and she's also one of the reasons why Anakin turned to the dark side, and why he turned back to the light.

It never occurred to me before, but I think part of the reason Padme takes an interest in Anakin in Episode II, aside from their bond as children, is that he is the only Jedi who is willing to help her discover who is after her. He's also the only one who listens and agrees with her ideas, never talking down to her, unlike the other Jedi, whom always talk condescendingly to her. Your reasoning for why they become attracted to each other makes sense: both are forced by their careers to adopt a public persona at odds with their sense of being. Padme always has to be the regal leader, and Anakin has to be the stoic Jedi, but both feel that this persona is at odds with who they are, This contrasts with Palpatine, who knows he's playing a role but does so with a clear sense of his own (twisted) self. Therefore, it actually makes senses they would feel a pull to each other. I admit the Prequels have problems. But I also think that they demand more engagement from the viewer than the Original trilogy. There is a logic to the films, but it often involves thinking carefully about the context, meaning, and symbolism presented.

Padme has become one of my favorite characters, especially in Star Wars. Her ability to get beyond her dogmatic political beliefs in thinking, "They are the enemy! They will destroy us! They must be defeated!", and instead be willing to be humble and listen. All the rest of the galaxy was driven by fear and political propaganda from one side or the other, but Padme ALONE (even more than the wise sages of the Jedi) was able to see through all the lies, all the politics, all the propaganda, and all the fear mongering. She lived her life to warn the galaxy of these things, but the galaxy did not listen. Turning against her, she died as the Republic collapsed in on itself for the things she tried to warn them against.

I think a lot of the hate the prequels get is due to the fact that people don’t understand that the movies are not about Anakin. He is not the protagonist of the films. The story is really about Padme and Palpatine. Padme is the protagonist and Palpatine is the antagonist who’s victory is dependent on which one of them can get Anakin on their side. Padme was not only the true adversary to Palpatine from a political perspective but also from the perspective of her relationship with Anakin. And while Palpatine does turn Anakin to the dark side and replaces the republic with the empire, Padme is the one who ultimately wins due to her relationship with Anakin which resulted in Luke and Leia who were the perfect balance of Anakins power with Padme’s ideals and compassion. It really is interesting to rewatch the films in order from 1 to 6 and see it as a long battle between Padme and Palpatine.

Padmé Amidala is a great character, my favorite actually, the romance with her and Anakin has it’s flaws but she’s a great character, her character throughout the movie has great bravery and kindness and it balances it very well. Padmé isn’t afraid to get into a fight either, she’s fearless as her daughter would become, as well as her son, Luke & Leia. She’s one of the best characters there is. I loved this video. You couldn’t have said it any better!

Always loved Padme. The problem with so many writers now is that they think making a "strong female character" is essentially just making them like a man. Want to see a "strong woman"? Let's have this 100lb twig kick some bodybuilder's ass, that'll show people that girls can be strong too! It gets really silly sometimes. When this kind of writing happens, these characters completely lose their femininity and it comes across as forced and unrealistic (which it is). Padme, like Leia, is a strong, smart, and brave character but does not lose her feminine grace in the process. She sees a brick wall and doesn't find a way to run through it, but rather finds a way to go around it. Lucas was able to write these characters in a way so that they are strong and we can look up to them, but they do not lose something essential to their nature. When she breaks down at the end of ROTS, it makes that scene with Anakin much more powerful because we see her weak and broken for the first and only time in the series.

DUDE This is a great and deep video essay. I had seen some but not in this level of context and substance, you saw something in Padme that i couldn't see in the movies and it make so much sense. I really love this and i hope you do one on Anakin, Luke and Obi Wan keep up the great work.

Thank you for doing this! I have always been a huge Padmé fan and I’m glad you give her the credit she deserves!

I can't remember where I heard this from, but the last part of the sentence stuck with me. It goes, "and the last person who still believes there is good in him, is dead." Now every time I see Padme's death, I think of this chilling prospect.

Except she wouldn’t be the last person to believe that there was good in Anakin. In time her son Luke would feel the good in him, and turn Anakin back from the dark side.

Luke could not force rhat - as much as Anakin is psychologically broken and disturbed he made this decision out of human maturity and holding himself accountable

This video is amazing! This proves George Lucas is a genius when it comes to creating a story with memorable characters. Keep it up!

It was the so called "fans" that hated the prequels, who bashed the actors who were involved, and blamed the one person who created something so amazing that impacted an entire generation, and suddenly gets criticized for not understanding his films, and destroyed childhoods? Its no wonder he sold his company to disney. I get that the prequels are not perfect but I don't believe they deserve that much hate. TL; DR I blame the fans

What do you think of an early draft about Padme leaving Anakin mostly dead instead of Obi Wan?? Would you accept if especially since even Padme should have had a breaking point?

Dude, you actually convinced me that Padme was a genuinely well written character! Awesome work!

Unlike rey

Anakin is a embodiment of the world Padme wants to save, wavering between good and evil

It's cute that you think Qui Gon didn't know that that was Padme the entire time 😂. Love the series though, very entertaining, informative and insightful 🙂👍

This was such a fascinating in-depth look at Padmé, such an underrated character ... she has become a favourite of mine. On Halloween this year a kid knocked at my door dressed as Queen Amidala ... Padmé lives on!

‼️I LOVE PADME AMIDALA‼️

That was a beautiful analysis!

Great video! I can’t believe you don’t have more views or subscribers! Padme has long been my favourite character aside from Qui Gon. The Phantom Menace was one of the first movies I saw in theatres, and as a six year old girl I thought she was amazing. Obi Wan I think is one of the most tragic characters, if we aren’t counting Padme or Anakin. Obi Wan first loses his master, then his love Satine, his brother Anakin, and the whole Jedi Order. Rex is another tragic figure, as he was born for a purpose that was the opposite of what he thought his purpose to be. And ended up having to turn on his own brothers.

Really solid video, nicely done!

Very good video mate! This deserves more attention!

Padme and Quigon were the voices of reason in the prequels.... To bad they're the ones who died.

This is so great, you deserve more views

I agree, she understood that Anakin’s actions were driven by his emotional turmoil and Palpatine’s manipulation. She knew that Anakin still had good in him, and Luke proved that by showing him compassion just like her.

Whoa this was a fantastic video, you put into words so many thoughts I have had throughout the years. Consider me another subscriber.

Your words and analysis are so spot on. 😭

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen, I’ve always loved padme

This is really interesting. But I think that Anakin is the most tragic character.

This video deserves millions of views, the quality is that of a professional. Great Job brother.

This was so good thank you

I'm glad someone else loves this character as much as I do. I saw star wars theory rank her in like b tier or something and I was shocked

Truly an interesting analysis. Thank you!

This was truly an amazing analysis of one of my very favorite Star Wars characters. Padme has always held a special place for me and to see her story so beautifully analyzed and interpreted? Absolutely perfect!

Man, this is INCREDIBLE content! Thank you so much for making this video, from someone who has always sung the praises of this character. I really hope Padme appears (or is at least referenced / discussed) in the upcoming Kenobi series. To not do so would be for Disney to ignore the essence of Vader's turmoil, and to miss a crucial familial connection between the prequels and the original trilogy, as you pointed out at the end of your video. Thanks again for a fantastic analysis!

Criminally underated character study I want to see him do one of anakin his take on him would be cool to see

Great videos. Your voice tone is nice to hear. I'll be looking forward to the videos on other important characters like Anakin and Obi Wan. Keep it up

I agree completely with your conclusion. Thank you for the insightful guidance.

Great video

This video deserves way more than 20k views

The plot of the phantom menace is so underrated and really deserves more analysis

This was so beautiful and it brought a tear to my eye. From a young age I never resonating with a character like I did/do with Padme amidala

great video. absolutely agree.

Dude you got less than 300 subs??? This is so much frickin quality!!! SUBBED!!!

21:45 I don't think it's fair to say that Anakin wants to continue the war (although he certainly has a different idea on the "how" of it) - in that moment, he reacts the way he does because it sounds like Padme is trying to do the same thing the Council did, to take advantage of his friendship with Palpatine to manipulate him and thus abuse Palpatine's trust in him. The fact that it's for a cause that Anakin doesn't believe in (questioning Sheev's handling of the war and seeking peace without victory) is the icing on the cake. Good video, by the way, on an underrated character. I've always found it notable how Padme goes from her "this democracy no longer functions" line in Episode One - willing to change the system if it interferes with her goals - to the absolute faith she places in democracy in AOTC and ROTS, sounding downright passive when Anakin points out the system doesn't always work in their meadow picnic conversation.

17:49 First sign that Anakin loves Padme for her intellect, but doesn't truly respect her for it

Thank-you!

What a beautiful video. Still great in 2023.

What if Pong Krell infiltrated Padme's ship in ROTS??? I mean all of you were wondering nonstop what everything could have been if it was Ahsoka or Clovis but Krell would be a interesting change. Would Krell stab Vader before he attempted to Force Choke Padme??

This is so sad, i cried after the video. Long may gone but you're always remember Queen Amidala of Nabu ~

I really enjoy all of your in depth character analysis videos, great work! If I may comment one constructive criticism on the technical side- A little less low end EQ on your voice and boost up the excerpts. Thank you for the great content!
