This is getting off topic. I propose we make a new thread about McCallum and the way the prequels were sold.
Sir, this is a place for meming, no trolling.

But that's not a SW meme. Well it should be! Because the character looks like it could be a Jedi.  |

I remember making this one for Episode IX the week it came out.
Technically not a "Prequel" meme but... never let Star Wars memes go to waste, I say.

That Padmé-Anakin scene in the meadows has become a huge meme template. I see it everywhere on Twitter, where I suspect plenty of its posters haven't even see the film.

This one came out pretty quickly after the craze started and I was impressed with the likenesses.  |

A meme to shut the prequel bashers up.
Some of you might be able to go one better, and cite purely non-cut Padmé material from ROTS.

Well, that's just what I was thinking. As delightful as that meme image is, it rests largely on the cut material, unfortunately. How I wish Lucas had left all that other stuff in: But since you ask, this was my attempt at defending the on-screen Padme scenes on TFN in 2013. Responding to this: I wrote: boards.theforce.net/threads/did-portman-do-a-good-job-as-padme.50014633/page-4#post-51216923 |

Still doesn't bother me that Padme died of the big sad. I'm "supposed" to not like it, and I'm "supposed" to not like the emphasis on her role as a mother either, but yeah these things just don't bother me. The fact of the matter is, is that despite all of Padme's great political work in the deleted scenes and otherwise, she recognizes that she is on the Titanic and she is looking to get the fuck out and salvage what she can of her life. In this case, that means she is doing what so many feminists despise: retiring to the domestic space in hopes of raising her children away from the craziness that the Republic has become. She isn't the feminist superhero that feminists expect real-life women to be. i.e. leave the domestic space and save the United States from its own political insanity. In that sense, Padme is out of step with contemporary gender expectations. She just isn't what is expected of women. And if she isn't what is expected, her role in the story just plain sucks according to those with that set of expectations. The problem with fanatical contemporary attitudes is that it deprives contemporary minds from thinking outside of their contemporary box. In other words, it is an absence of imagination.
In the end, Padme's ability to be a savior figure is much less direct than some would like. She isn't saving the day personally, she saves the Republic because her spirit lives on, "There's good in him...I know there's...Still..." Her saviourism, so to speak is one that transcends death. It isn't of this world you might say.

It's not unlike Jar Jar, actually, telling her back in Episode I that the Gungans will not go quietly into the night -- that strength, daring, tenacity, and hope live on. Oh, how much this crooked, imbecilic fanbase misses in its quest to parcel up everything into "good" and "bad", "us" vs. "them". |

This comment pin-points the deliciously paradoxical nature of Padme's death. In one sense, it is a giving in, but in another sense she remains steadfast. It doesn't have to be either/or. |
