the thing about padme’s deleted “mother of the rebellion” rots scenes is this is a once-14yo girl who said “i was not elected to watch my people suffer and die while you discuss this invasion in a committee” now a 27yo woman who grew into one of those helpless senators, spending her final days trying to stop a war via committee before watching her husband cause untold suffering and death. like id lose the will to live too damn

#i don’t talk about padme’s politics a lot considering i am user padmestrilogy #idk im muddy on her pacifist/defeatist/demsoc ways #i think it’s more useful to talk about how tightly controlled her life is when looking at her political choices then try and #form a coherant padme political theory book #similar to how anakin has the wierd politics he does bc he of his surrogate father figure in palps #not bc he woke up one day thinking ‘fascism rox’. yk?….#(considering how muddy lucas’ own ideology was i think this is the sane approach )#padme amidala #star wars
