might catch hate for this but padme's death absolutely can be read as the closest thing the series has to a suicide and can also be criticised as a fridging. both can be true at once.
#george lucas as much as i love him is a sexist person#and he's also kinda predatory#he told 19 yo carrie fisher that she couldnt wear a bra and 19 yo Natalie portman that now she was over the age of 18 she could be sexier#the whole slave leia thing was atrociously misogynistic#he cut padmes entire family and her establishing the rebellion effectively robbing her of all agency in the third film#he's a sexist guy so yeah padmes death was absolutely just kill the female lead for male angst#that's why lucasfilm never talks about padme as a character to this day cos they're writing for neo nazis who just see women#as incubators for babies#which is basically all padme is in the third film esp cos her want for children was cut from the second#anyway I'm out to shoot for this one cos im correct#sw#star wars#padme amidala
