I still trip out about this to this day.
Like that scene in particular. Keira looks to Portman's character for approval, but Portman just basically leaves the whole thing up to her. Had Keira Knightley's character as the decoy made a different decision in that moment, the whole plot could have taken a different turn entirely.
Would have made a good Infinities story desu senpai

oh you
Natalie Portman bullied the shit out of Kiera Knightley during the Phantom Menace Shooting.

Padme's costumes were one of the few highlights of Ep1.

This is why the prequels have so much more depth than TFA. Endless possibilities and imagination.

>>63979974
How many rewatches it took you to notice when she's being herself and being a decoy? As a kid having a VHS I never noticed any difference between them.

While I enjoy the midriff in ep2 I miss her geisha style costumes.

Imagine a universe where Anakin didn't turn everything to shite.
Growing up as Luke would've been fucking hell - your mother is Padme in full milf mode and your twin sister is Leia. Boy would have complexes to make Anakin look normal.
>>63981284
Sabe was clearly thinking the decision over the decision. Padme's words seem to suggest "we don't need the queen here, but it might help."
I also sometimes wonder how different the trilogy might have been if Keira Knightley had played the real Padme.
>>63981189
>>63981225
Natalie actually said that dress was way too fucking tight on her during shooting. The breathing you see in the scene with Anakin by the fire where she looks extremely uncomfortable has less to do with how she was playing the character and more to do with the fact that she couldn't fucking breath in the torture device George and the costume department came up with for her.

a few years later she was apparently promoted to senator or whatever, which is somehow higher than queen
>>63981975
it still doesn't make a lot of sense how a 16 year old managed to get to an elected position like that
is she some kind of political genius?
>>63980914
Anyone have the screencap of the book where they said this?
>>63982010
In AOTC, she actually says she wasn't the youngest queen Naboo had ever elected.
Makes me wonder how much fucking schooling they must rail into their kids on Naboo if some of their tweens and teens can be so ready for intergalactic politics.

Didn't Keira Knightley cry and almost quit the movie because of how uncomfortable her costume was too? And then there was that old dude that played Vader's boss in Episode IV that complained about his shoes so much that they stopped filming him with his legs out.
>>63982161
jar jar was allowed to hold office, why wouldnt they be allowed to vote?
>>63982010
Maybe some kind of tradition that has more with religious beliefs than politics. It looks like Naboo lived pretty well before Trade Federation came and didn't need a strong politician to rule.

He was a senator of the republic though. Not naboo
>>63982200
Peter Cushing (Tarkin) had problems with his feet, most of his scenes were done with sandals.
>>63982204
Jar Jar was a representative of the Gungans and the first of such representatives. The Naboo were human settlers on the Gungan's homeworld, but the Senate only really recognized the Naboo as the legitimate residents of the area. Gungans never recognized the Naboo and the Naboo tended to look down on the natives. Jar Jar was chosen as representative because he helped bring the Naboo and Gungans closer than ever before.

Someone post the Padme / Sabe fanfiction porn.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sofia_Coppola
>Padmé watched silently as Sabé undressed. The girl looked so much like herself, it was like looking into a mirror. Aside from the ornate white makeup on Padmé's face at that moment, the two were almost identical. Indeed she and Sabé had developed a covert form of communication that only the other handmaidens could interpret. Raising a single eyebrow ever so slightly, Padmé asked Sabé silently: is this what I think it is?
>Sabé answered her with a simple shrug of one bare shoulder as she finished removing her clothes. Her sign-language answer was clear: only if it pleases you.
>Eirtaé glided around behind the young queen and slid her hands up Padmé's hips sensuously.
>>63982636
Based anon.
>>63982432
queen of naboo is also an elected position
>>63982517
Anyone ever recognized her? I still don't know where she is.
>"Look at Sabé." Eirtaé commanded, taking charge of the situation as she always did. "So perfect...so beautiful..."
>Sabé smiled at the compliment and slid her hands up to her perfect young breasts, pressing them together with a playful smile.
>"So flawless..." Eirtaé continued. "Just like you are, Padmé."
>Eirtaé hands slid their way up Padmé's torso, to gently envelop her budding breasts. Padmé sighed slightly as the blonde girl's hands stimulated her small nipples. Eirtaé was so beautiful...so intelligent...so PERFECT. Padmé often wondered if Eirtaé should have been the queen of Naboo instead of her. It had been such a close election after all. And Eirtaé had taken such control of this intimate social circle. As she continued to caress Padmé's sensitive breasts, she found herself wondering if perhaps she should be the handmaiden, and Eirtaé the queen.

Historically, some manner of elective monarchy is more common than not. Hereditary succession, and especially primogeniture, are actually surprisingly recent developments, only becoming widespread in the last thousand or so years. Of course, one has to be careful not to confuse elective monarchy with universal suffrage democracy - generally only a handful of people voted in monarchical elections, and elected monarchs typically served for life, rather than the brief terms of Naboo royals.
I honestly think Lucas was a bit torn between some admiration for royal trappings and the strongly democratic indoctrination of American schooling that makes it hard to parse the legitimacy of lifetime rulers.
>>63984491
>Hershlag talking about Knightley.webm
>>63985320
well I'm not sure how the Naboo politics may have been explained in the EU, but Padme's dialogue in AOTC about "popular rule isn't democracy, Ani" suggest that there may be a kind of electoral committee who chooses the queen from a group of prospects.
>Electing teenage queens
This is what happens when there is nobody throwing out Lucas' shitty ideas.
>>63986371
You do realize that child and teenage rulers were fairly common throughout history right?
Ivan the terrible was already having dogs maul his political rivals as a little boy to keep them in line
>>63984928
Thanks bb
>>63986423
Child leaders were a thing, but typically their rule was delegated to closely trusted advisors until they were at an age in which they could truly rule.
Some 13 year old girl being elected queen for a short time is beyond retarded.
>>63986542
>Who is Cleopatra?
>>63986542
>but typically their rule was delegated to closely trusted advisors until they were at an age in which they could truly rule.
Child monarchs could often hold a lot more power than people gave them credit for and one reason some had a habit of being exceptionally ruthless at times was because they had to show their older advisors and fellows that they wouldn't stand being messed with. While they delegated a lot of responsibilities to their advisors, this is something all monarchs did. The only child monarchs who didn't really exert much power were those who had no interest in ruling or were always just ceremonial puppets of their mothers or some other figure. But then, you can find just as many if not more adult monarchs who were just that as well. Child monarchs who had to be trained gradually assumed more and more direct authority as they got older but it wasn't that uncommon for some twelve year olds to jump into some of those duties sooner than others.
But I digress, this is an issue of hereditary monarchy, not elective monarchy. Presumably the Naboo monarchs' duties are such that in some cases an teenage monarch would suit just fine. Keep in mind that Naboo is a peaceful swamptopia without any things like an army and what not. Such places might not need a monarch to do much besides occupy a ceremonial role and occasionally sign an executive order deliberated by the legislative body. However, it may also be a testament to Naboo intelligence and education that some monarchs are exceptionally young and able to handle a handsome number of executive responsibilities. If this is an elective monarchy, than the king or queen is picked out from a handful of candidates, presumably by an electoral committee based solely on the merits needed to occupy the role regardless of age. In AOTC, Padme seems to imply that her youth was almost a bar against her becoming queen, despite not being the youngest Naboo ever had.

Does that mean that if Anakin hadn't messed things up, Luke would have gone from goofy loser to whiny philosopher to badass to god to Kylo Ren?

Cleopatra was 18 when she started her reign. That's certainly old enough to wield authority and power.
A 10-13 year old isn't doing shit.
Cleopatra also wasn't elected.
>>63987116
Natalie was 18 during the shooting of TPM.
>>63982204
They were but they had to count the number of flies on a bantha poodoo and they couldn't get it. Called them Jim solo laws.

They said a few times she shoulder checked her while passing in the hall.
>>63987165
She was 14.

That's absolute monarchy. In an electoral monarchy, members of the ruling class vote who will rule from among the eligible parties, usually sons, though in SW clearly women are eligible. Making it it a cognatic electoral monarchy.
>>63991007
By ruling class I meant noble class, that is, landed peoples.
>>63981874
Queen is apparently an elected position that rules over the planet. Senators are elected to represent the planet on Coruscant.

His feet were fine, the boots were the problem. The costume department couldn't find boots in his size so they squeezed him into a pair of undersized boots whenever they filmed his legs.
