19. Padmé Amidala
Name: Padmé Amidala
Biography: Born Padmé Naberrie, her name changed to Padmé Amidala after being elected the queen of Naboo when she was only 14 years old. When the Trade Federation invaded her home planet in protest over taxation of trade routes throught the Old Republic, Padmé escaped with the help of two Jedi knights named Obi-Wan Kenboi and Qui-Gon Jinn. Due to a damaged hyperdrive, they were forced to land on a remote world named Tattooine. Disguised as one of her own handmaidens, she accompanied Qui-Gon to find the necessary parts and was introduced to a 9-year-old boy named Anakin Skywalker who immediately took an interest in her. After winning the necessary parts from betting on a pod race where Anakin was the victor, Padmé and the Jedi knights left Tattooine for Coruscant. Upon arriving to the planet, Padmé met with Senator Palpatine of Naboo while Qui-Gon Jinn took Anakin to the Jedi temple, intent on training him as a Jedi knight. Padmé went to the Galactic senate and pleaded for help, but when the senate failed to take her pleas seriously, she called for a vote of no confidence in the Supreme Chancellor. The vote was successful, and Senator Palpatine was elected as the next Supreme Chancellor. The Galaxy would never be the same.
In the meantime, Padmé returned to Naboo along with the Jedi knights (and Anakin as well) and formed a desperate plan to capture the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, Nute Gunray. Padmé enlisted the help of the amphibous gunguns, who had long been at odds with the human citizens of the planet, and together the two peoples succeeded in defeating the Trade Federation (although not without cost, as Qui-Gon Jinn was killed during a battle with a mysterious Sith Lord). In the celebration that followed, peace was declared between the gungans and the Naboo.
Padmé served two full terms as Queen of Naboo, and was so popular that the people tried to amend the planet's constitution to allow her to serve even longer. Padmé declined the offer, but continued to serve the people of Naboo as a senator. When tensions began to arise between the Republic and the Confederation of Independent Systems, Padmé opposed the creation of a grand republic military and urged the senate to seek a peaceful solution to the crisis. Somebody disagreed with her stance, however, and several assassination attempts were made on her life. Two Jedi knights were assigned to protect her, and Padme was surprised to see that they were her two old acquaintances Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. Moreover, Anakin (who had only been a little boy when she'd seen him last) had grown into a handsome young man who was very obviously enamored with her.
After yet another assasination attempt that was foiled by the Jedi knights, Obi-Wan left on a search for the assassins while Padmé and Anakin fled in secret to Naboo. While in hiding, romance began to blossom between the senator and the Jedi apprentice despite Padmé's initial reluctance. Padmé accompanied Anakin to Tattoine to find his mother, and comforted him when he was distraught over failing to save her life from the vicious sandpeople. When Obi-Wan sent a distress signal after discovering a Seperatist battle droid factory on the planet Geonosis, Padmé and Anakin set off on a mission to rescue him. The two of them were captured, and as they were led into the Geonosis arena to be executed, Padmé confessed her love to Anakin. Luckily, they were rescued by a combined force of Jedi knights and clone troopers before they could be executed, and the resulting battle was the first in a conflict that would spread throughout the galaxy and be known as the Clone Wars. Following the Battle of Geonosis, Padmé and Anakin returned to Naboo and were married in a secret ceremony attended only by the two droids, Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio.
Over the next three years, war raged throughout the Galaxy. While Anakin fought the Seperatists on the field of battle, Padmé continued to try and find a diplomatic solution for the crisis. Padmé was also dismayed by the number of emergency powers that the senate was granting Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, and became convinced that the Republic was becoming just as bad as the Sepratists they were fighting. Near the end of the Clone Wars, Padmé surprised Anakin during a secret rendezvous by telling him that she was pregnant. Shortly after that, Anakin began to be troubled by nightmares (which he believed to be prophetic) of Padmé dying in childbirth. Anakin became obsessed with trying to find a way to prevent the death of the woman he loved, which was capitalized upon by Chancellor Palpatine, who was really the Sith Lord named Darth Sideous. As Anakin struggled with the temptations of the dark side, Padmé met with other senators such as Bail Organa and Mon Mothma to discuss the troubling amount of power that Palpatine was gaining. When Padmé witnessed the Jedi temple in flames, Anakin came to her and told her that the Jedi had attempted to seize control of the Republic. Shortly thereafter, Palpatine declared that the Old Republic would be reordered into the first Galactic Empire, and Padmé could only watch in horror as the republic she loved transformed into a ruthless dictatorship.
After Palpatine's speech, Obi-Wan came to Padmé and revealed a horrifying truth to her: that Anakin had fallen to the dark side of the Force. Padmé was unwilling to believe him, and took her ship to the planet Mustafar to speak with Anakin herself. Upon speaking with Anakin, her worst fears were confirmed, and she pleaded with Anakin to abandon his evil ambition and come back to Naboo with her. Anakin refused, and used the Force to choke her into unconsciousness. Obi-Wan, who had stowed away aboard Padmé's ship, fought Anakin in an epic clash of lightsabers, a battle which ended with Anakin being burned and dismembered, his body placed inside a special suit to keep him alive. The man Padmé had fallen in love with was gone, replaced by the evil Sith Lord known as Darth Vader.
Obi-Wan took Padmé to a secret outpost where Master Yoda and Bail Organa were hiding, and Padmé began to go into labor. She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl named Luke and Leia, respectively. Unfortunately, Padmé was consumed with heartbreak and despair, and did not survive childbirth. Her last words were spoken to Obi-Wan, telling him that there was still good in Anakin.
Padmé's body was taken to Naboo, and the entire planet mourned the loss of their beloved Queen and Senator. Her legacy lived on, however: The plans Padme had formed with Organa and Mothma would one day lead to the creation of the Rebel Alliance, and her children (who were seperated and hidden to keep them safe from the Emperor) would play a pivotal role in bringing about the downfall of the Galactic Empire and redeeming their father from the dark side.
