    Hello! (echoes heard through the empty chamber...)

    I’m kinda surprised that I could still login.
    Wow, my username’s all messed up now.

    Hi friends~ Lady_Eirtae, GentleBant, QueenSabe7, SacheOfNaboo, YaneOfNaboo!! And welcome BenToRen!! [face_party]

    I got the chance to read the upcoming YA book Queen's Shadow :amidala: and wrote a spoiler free review of it at HandmaidensOfNaboo.tumblr.com if you're interested. Would love to hear everyone else's thoughts on it after it comes out, and can't wait to talk spoilers...!! Hope you are all doing well!@};-[face_coffee]

    Is anyone going to Celebration Chicago by the way?? :-B:bluesaber:

    As someone who has lurked the RHS for nearly 20 years, I was reminded (i.e. yelled at XD) that I don’t think I ever actually signed up. However, as we are having an amazing Padmé and Sabé and all the Handmaidens renaissance right now, it’s never too late, I suppose. ;)

    I, Miana Kenobi, pledge my full support to ensure that the RHS threads will continue in a fun but clean manner, in order to ensure our respect to the handmaidens whom we admire and adore.

    As an official member of this thread, I will give my 100% support in order to make sure that the RHS continues in a fashion that is acceptable to everyone involved.

    Fellow longtime lurker was also told on the Twitters to finally get on this. [face_laugh]

    *delurks dramatically*

    How do we get our lady and savior EK Johnston to write a Queen's Shadow sequel, featuring handmaidens working for the Rebellion?

    I've been a huge fan of the Handmaidens since TPM but was never involved in any community. It got kinda lonely and difficult finding other Handmaiden fans so I'm glad I found you all!

    *Comes back, from outer space.*

    When I checked into the community forum tonight on a whim for the first time in probably over several years, I did not expect to see this thread on the first page. But here it is. As for the pledge, I believe (though I'm not going to go dig back for the actual post) I signed that circa 2006, and I would suppose it still holds.

    As for Queen's Shadow: if this book had been published back in that 2006ish era, I think I would been interested in it. I would have had *some emotional reaction* when I read, as I did at some point last year, that the handmaidens were going to be actual characters in it. But I have been turned right off most of Star Wars more and more since the Disney takeover--and now the truth is, I literally could not care less about this book, and I have absolutely no interest in EK Johnston's Disney-certified take on anything in it. I know I won't ever read it.

    Yes, I realize I sound old and bitter--and I freely admit that I'm middle-aged, and as salty as an entire salt shaker.

    But hey--I still have a copy of that one handmaiden vid (the one HandmaidenAnde made, arranged to music from Empire of the Sun) saved to a flashdrive. Does anyone remember that?

    Is it possible that some of the handmaidens became the red-armored guards who surround Palpatine in AOTC, ROTS, and ROTJ?

    Red Guards are only men. It can be seen that these are men.

    Considering the combo of armour and robes, it's impossible to tell what gender Red Guard are.

    In the newcanon, Lando claimed to have known a female Red Guard:

    Just found this thread and I'm glad I did. The handmaidens need more love. I'm so glad we're seeing...Motee in the new Vader series?

    If you haven't read Queen's Shadow and Queen's Peril (YA novels) you should. Both are pretty good and do show the handmaidens.

    I read Queen's Shadow last year and have Queen's Peril unread on my Kindle. I really liked the former.

    I liked both but all the talk about fashion and dresses bored me a bit as that's not my thing. Story lines were good though.

    Still on my to-read list, and I'm looking forward to the upcoming Clone Wars era one. Queen's Shadow was enjoyable. It is true through that EK Johnston writes a bit 'plotless' books, but I can also see the appeal of it. I'd like something with higher stakes through, and hopefully that's something that can come out of a Clone Wars setting.

    Well, Palpy is from Naboo originally... I doubt this is the same, but I adore this idea as a headcanon.

    Agreed.
    Not spoiler, just speculation, but just in case:
    Ahsoka would probably be the place to bring in Prequel material and revisit Naboo. I see them going for it, espcially after how well the N1 starfighter was received.
