I feel like discussion around the whole 'Padme with a knife on Mustafar' would be more… interesting I guess if people realised that

a) it was very early concept art (along side ideas like Padme on Kashykk, or opening ROTS with battles on many different planets, or Anakin riding a Boga-like creature)

b) McCaig's idea was that Padmé couldn't bring herself to do it

c) Lucas toyed with the idea but it never made it to any of the draft scripts (unlike Dooku claiming responsibility for Anakin's mother, Han's appearance or PADME IN OPPOSITION TO PALPATINE WHICH MADE IT TO FILMING AND MAKES SENSE CHARACTER WISE AND THEMATICALLY)

#padme amidala #star wars #there's so much for interesting things to talk about re: padme than an abanded piece of concept art #you can be mad at how rots handled padme without cheering on an (IMO) OOC idea that would have left people disappointed #(BECAUSE THE IDEA WAS THAT SHE COULDNT BRING HERSELF TO DO IT)#to quote old Georgie: it's like poetry it rhymes #padme's belief is meant to echo luke's #and they're right in the end
