#GIVE MON MOTHMA BAIL AND BREHA ORGANA THE RECOGNITION THEY DESERVE

[girlrandomstuff]

Okay, I have a problem with this and if I don't talk about it, I'm going to go insane.

1. She didn't formed the Delegation of the Two Thousand, nor the Rebelion. The Delegation of the Two Thousand was created by Bail Organa (and Mon Mothma) thanks to Breha Organa's idea.

Here the cut scenes from Revenge of the Sith. You can clearly see that the one leading the meating are Bail Organa with Mon Mothma's help, he's the one who started the alliance by inviting Mon, Padme and the other Senators who where in the meeting. Not Padme.

“senator Mon Mothma and I are putting together an organization”

Then in Leia Princess of Alderaan, when Leia finds out her parents work against the Empire they have this talk:

“Does Mom know?” she asked.

Bail gave her a look. “As if I could hide anything from your mother. The truth is, she had the idea even before I did. She remains on Alderaan, but she has a role to play. Let’s leave it at that.”

“this was your mother's idea from the start” and before anyone could say Bail Organa could have refered to Padme without Leia knowing, no, he never refered to Padme as Leia's mother in presence of Leia, not even with Leia not realizing, so no. Here they were talking about Breha Organa.

2. She may have dislike Palpatine too at somepoint, but she never fully was against him, she even tried to stand up to him even when EVERYONE in the meeting agreed that Palpatine was corrupt.

It was until this Senator (I'm very sorry for not naming him, I couldn't find his name anywhere) told her how wrong she was until she kind of realized how wrong she was indeed.

3. I'm not sure if “against her husband” when she knew about Anakin's Tusken massacre (before marrying him) and never went against him, “to be angry is to be human” she told him, like WTH girl. Neither she went against her husband when Obi Wan told her Anakin murdered children, AGAIN, “not Anakin, he couldn't” she said, even when she knew he could, he would and he did, no, she was willing to forgive all that, to forgive Anakin after everything he had done already, AGAIN, if he just stopped. Like okay maybe he went against Anakin when she agreed in the Delegation of the Two Thousand, but what about everything else?

And before anyone says “Padme is not good in the movies because was written by George Lucas and he did the woman dirty”, I do agree that men have complications writing women but also I don't think Padme is not a good character just because she was written by one, a character can be a good or bad character regardless who they were written by. Let's remember that he first wrote Leia Organa, maybe one of the best female characters in pop culture (OF COURSE LEIA HAS BEEN IMPROVED BY OTHER AUTHORS, MANY OF THEM WOMEN and of course thanks to Carrie Fisher herself, she fought a lot for Leia to have better)

With this I'm not trying to say she didn't have noble things in mind, or that she was also corrupt, or supported Palpatine, no, but neither I think she made good choices or that she was someone important for the rebelion to get birth.
