Another thing that has been wasted in Star Wars: Amidala's Handmaidens.

1000% of them would have heard the name "Luke Skywalker" and would have stood up to the Rebellion, demanding to know why Padmé's son wasn't raised with them.

Imagine a dozen women around Luke, asking him questions, touching him and cooing, saying "his father's ears, his mother's chin, his father's color, his maternal grandfather's body" and Luke not knowing what's going on and wondering if he runs away, if these strange women will follow him, and if he'll be safer if Vader finds him.

A little anidala-related headcanon of mine:

Queen's Hope revealed that Padmé struggled to put her wedding dress together the night before her and Anakin's wedding. Eventually, she ended up enlisting the help of her former handmaiden who was a skilled tailor. Yané was concerned, but also willing to ask no questions.

Yané did of course share the news of Padmé's visit with Saché, but perhaps the couple decided to confide in Rabé as well. Rabé, who chose to study music in Theed after her life as a handmaiden came to an end. Unlike Sabé, she was still living on Naboo. It's very likely they kept in touch and were closer than the others.

This information would stir any young musician, the idea of the grounded young Queen and childhood friend you once served eloping with the unknown. Someone she really shouldn't be with, perhaps. And thus Rabé was inspired to compose the tune Across The Stars as a secret serenade to Amidala and her hidden love.

And then there's Dooku...

Lucas: And you get a name *throws one at The Emperor*

Lucas: And you get a name *throws two at the Fetts*

Lucas: And you get a name *throws one at the assassin lady that failed to kill Padme*

Lucas: And you get a name *throws eight at all of Padme's handmaidens*

Lucas: And you get a name *throws one at the dinosaur Jedi that did nothing but get shot down by Jango*

Dooku: What about me?

Lucas: You don't

The unnamed Naboo dignitary behind Ebenn Q3 Baobab may be a stand-in actor for Oliver Ford Davies and this character is intended to be Governor Sio Bibble, as their beard and clothing style are very similar, but I haven't seen anything to confirm or deny this.

when you think about it Dormé kind of became to Sabé what Sabé was to Padmé. which is, you know. fine. something i can be sane about.

Hi! I absolutely love DLB, and it made me appreciate the handmaidens way more than Canon ever did <3 I was wondering whether you have a headcanon regarding the handmaidens' names? Are their names their birthnames, or did they choose them specifically to sound like Padmé's? And do they actually have last names that they just never use? Might cause a lot of bureaucratic trouble if they didn't have last names lol. Also completely unrelated, but what does Sola think about Leia? Must be a bit weird that her baby sister has this batshit crazy friend that she is super protective of and who routinely causes absolute mayhem - or does she just see her as another handmaiden?

At least three of them changed their names for certain and at least one of them already matched. Feel free to speculate which ones. It's their favorite game to make people play.

As far as why they are never referred to by last name, it is absolutely related to the role they play, both in terms of not taking attention away from Queen Amidala, and deliberately taking attention away from Padmé Naberrie. They have full legal names, and if they hadn't stayed in Padmé's service on her senatorial staff, they would have gone back to them when they "retired." Some of them now go by their work names with their families, some of them do not.

Sola definitely thinks of Leia more like a handmaiden, when she thinks of Leia at all. Sola's actually a lot more familiar with Shmi, because Shmi's done so much work with Jobal and Ruwee. So in a lot of ways, Sola also thinks more of Leia as "Shmi's...kid?" Padmé is a giant hypocrite and is not any more forthcoming with her family about exactly how dangerous her job is than Leia is in general. The Naberries get some insights from how often Shmi checks her messages and sighs and shakes her head. But not much more than that. And they don't know Shmi super well, just better than Leia. Shmi is very busy.

“Who are you?” asks Leia.

Sabé says, “Former handmaiden of Naboo.”

“Yes, I got that,” says Leia impatiently. “What do the royal handmaidens of Naboo do? Why did my parents ask Yané to come all the way to Alderaan, just to take care of me?”

(or, Sabé is a member of the Rebel Alliance. Alderaan has just been destroyed. this makes it way harder to avoid Padmé's daughter)
