Author	Topic: The Official Padmé Amidala Fan Club
Anapad_Nabooine Registered: Jun '05	Date Posted: 7/8/05 4:46am Subject: The Official Padmé Amidala Fan Club - Date Edited: 6/18/06 2:22pm (2 edits total) Edited By: Strilo
	I asked Strilo if it was okay to start this topic. I can't believe this woman didn't have her very own thread! Unbeweevable! Inconceivable! Correct this we must. (If wrong I am, correct me.) This is the official fan thread for Padme Amidala. The rules for membership are: 1. to follow the TOS; 2. to like Padme; and 3. to post! I got the title idea from Linari_Tanis's title for the thread of another character with whom Padme is closely connected. Are you in? I'll bring my musings from another thread over here... Padme. What a strong of spirit, generous of soul, intelligent girl-becoming-woman she is! I was so impressed by her as brave, commanding and dignified Queen Amidala and she was very young then. "Impressive, most impressive." I was so impressed by her as the (dare I say) spunky Nubian senator with her "aggressive negotiations" and a kiss on the cheek for her young swain in the heat of battle. I was so impressed by her allowing herself a personal life after so many years of self-sacrifice for the many. Certainly, she still acted as senator and yes her cherished marriage existed dangerously in secret yet...Padme has a growing family of her own now and she wants that. Her first loyalty lies there - for better or for worse. My godmother (Master Jeannie ) tells me, It's not how you die; it's how you live that counts. Well done, Lady Padme! sniff You're a phenomenal woman. PHENOMENAL WOMAN by (phenomenal) Maya Angelou! Pretty women wonder where my secret lies I'm not cute or built to suit a model's fashion size But when I start to tell them They think I'm telling lies. I say It's in the reach of my arms The span of my hips The stride of my steps The curl of my lips. I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please And to a man The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees Then they swarm around me A hive of honey bees. I say It's the fire in my eyes And the flash of my teeth The swing of my waist And the joy in my feet. I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say It's in the arch of my back The sun of my smile The ride of my breasts The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me. Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud When you see me passing It ought to make you proud. I say It's in the click of my heels The bend of my hair The palm of my hand The need for my care. 'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenally Phenomenal woman That's me. -----signature----- "There is no other way....He was meant to help you.

	I'm in. And I don't say that for reasons that may be obvious to some. Padme. What a strong of spirit, generous of soul, intelligent girl-becoming-woman she is! I was so impressed by her as brave, commanding and dignified Queen Amidala and she was very young then. "Impressive, most impressive." I was so impressed by her as the (dare I say) spunky Nubian senator with her "aggressive negotiations" and a kiss on the cheek for her young swain in the heat of battle.

	I like her lots. I do wish Lucas would have let in her political intrigue scenes in ROTS. I know she's pregnant, but I've always found pregnant people to be as strong, only more irritable. That she submits to a pawn of her husband is most disturbing. I would love to have had the seen with her delivering the senator petition for the chancellor to give up his emergency powers (that occurs in the book). Now THAT is courage. She doesn't have force powers. She doesn't have a military with her. Its just her and the other concerned senators facing someone who has abused his powers. Amidala rocks! -----signature----- LemmingLord Criticise Me

First of all, congratulations on starting the thread Anapad_Nabooine. A Padme thread is long overdue. Anyway, I agree LemmingLord. It would have been great to see some of the more political scenes in ROTS. Also, it would have been nice to have included the deleted scene in AOTC where Padme cites her opposition to the ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. (sorry had to put caps on that one) The scene showed a very political of her that wasn't seen enough, especially in AOTC and ROTS. -----signature----- "It is the name of your true self.

	She probably saved the galaxy by spreading her legs to a sith lord and giving birth to his children who eventually defeated him. Seriously!!

	I can't very well say no to a fan club for Padme. She's one of the big three main characters of the PT and mother to two of the three main characters of the OT. And Princess Leia? Same reason. -----signature----- #1 on iTunes Most Played: R.E.M.

	Ahem....back to the point of the thread....which is to say - oh, yes, I am certainly on board here! Padme Amidala is the very definition of a true hero, demonstrating so adeptly that one can be a warrior away from the battlefield as much as on it. Yes, she can fire a pistol with the best of 'em, and when she's backed into a corner - has no other options at her disposal, and it's all for the sake of saving what she most cares about....those she loves, her entire world - then, yes, she'll resort to "aggressive negotiations" - but not before she's tried the diplomatic approach first! She knows that there are many ways to fight a battle....and even in the midst of war, she still has the courage of her convictions to believe that diplomacy could still work, and lives could still be saved....and that takes real strength, for sure and certain. It reminds me very much of the Amidala "One Will" tone poem commercial, from TPM....where she says: "There are things I cannot do. I cannot watch while people suffer. I cannot sit when something must be done. I cannot judge those who are different. There are things I cannot do. Run, hide, ignore... There are things I cannot do. But there are certainly things I will do." Such strength....such unwavering courage of her convictions....such faith, and such compassion....and it is, of course, just part of what drew Anakin to her so powerfully, why his spirit yearned for hers - because he admired, respected and loved her, not for her early position as queen, then later for her powers as senator - but simply for who she was, the strong, devoted and compassionate, beautiful angel he'd always known her to be. already adoring this thread To be sure, yeah, one may wonder why we didn't have one before....but no matter, at least we have one now! Dawn. -----signature----- Anakin Skywalker is shagadelic!
