THIS is How Padme became Queen of Naboo at age 14!

[randomobserver]

The idea that children or adolescents cannot be corrupted can only have occurred to a person who neither had children nor was ever a child themselves.

[KingCasual]

I will never be able to wrap my head around the fact that Naboo is Palpatine’s homeworld…

[venividivicilgd]

I don't like that they deleted the scene with padmes family

[lordofpain]

Do you see ?
Palpatine was always looking out for Padme , he even arranged for her to get together with her husband .
Such a great guy .

[nathanhawee]

I about crapped when I found out kira knightly was one of her decoys. They really do look alot alike

[notreallymyname]

"Hey everyone! Do you know who makes great decisions that affect us all and absolutely can't be manipulated by bad actors? 14 year olds! We should have them lead us!" -Naboo for some reason.

[cperry]

little did he know how much of a problem she would be once she became senator

[mayaalieva]

And yet he didn't expect her to stand up to him lol

[dijilama]

Padme before becoming the Queen
Anakin:I find your lack of rule disturbing

[adamcarlson]

He picked her because she’s Natalie Portman.

I do not think there is a word evil enough to describe Sidious and all of his machinations.

[thelittleal]

I would love to see some stories with Palpatine and Plagueis, it would make some awesome 3 episodes for tales of the Sith or something

[PadmeAmidala]

Naboo planetary government type is an elective monarchy.
It was a tradition to have younger queens as they had a certain sense of "wisdom" that adults lacked.





Palpatine cheating/hacking as always.

[johnt]

That white and gold glamour shot looks a lot like old Hollywood at its best.

[Senna-]

Padmé easy to manipulate?
Oh sure 😂😂😂

[bonniepinney]

Omg I was always confused by this! Thank you! I was also 14 when this movie came out so... turns out a 14 year old girl can't comprehend this shit lol 😂

[lykonwolf]

It is so funny that Naboo elects their Kibgs and Queens.

[kieranmccabe]

Palpatine manipulating here clearly didn’t go too well 😂😂

[MatthewJamesKalasky]

She, as we all know, DID grow into the roll well, though.

[yerintaem]

That image of Palpatine made me laugh so hard
