So what, she formed an exploratory committee when she was 12? She spent eighth grade traveling the globe campaigning and meeting with donors?

1. I now need to see this sequel of Amidala’s rise to power, starting when she was 10 by visiting local county fairs etc.

2. Re Lloyd’s performance: Last year I watched the prequels, with an great sound system, and most of Anakin’s dialog is ADR/dubbed in post (and not very well, if you know how that stuff works). When he *wasn’t* dubbed, he sounded perfectly normal and pretty good actually,

I saw Lloyd in an ER rerun about a year or so after TPM and he was perfectly fine in it. Not great, but not wooden either. It really does seem like TPM ruined his career and life in general.

Those movies were poison to everyone in them who didn't already have a career. Except Keira Knightley, who got away with it because a lot of people still don't realize she was in them.

They thought she was Portman’s CGI double And then her character got blown up in the first two minutes of AotC

Nah, Keira Knightley's character wasn't there (she's not in the cast of AotC) Disney did a tie-in book, Queen's Shadow, where she's the main character, she ends up vowing to discover the real truth about Padme's death and becoming a Rebel

The dead handmaiden in AotC is Cordé, played by Verónica Segura (so, yes, the Latina handmaiden takes the hit) Keira Knightley was Sabé

I imagine by that point Knightley was about seven feet tall, so she couldn’t pass as Padme What if Rey is descended from one of Padme's ladies in waiting? Now there’s a novel I... would probably never read

Yeah there was a serious fan theory her grandparents were Obi-Wan and Sabé and that her getting knocked up is why she's not in AotC

I though Obi-Wan was involved with a Mandalorian woman from the Clone Wars cartoon? I’m not really familiar with the show. It does seem odd that Rey doesn’t go to Naboo at the end of TRoS, bc she probably does have some living relatives there.
