She’s put to good use in Rebels, though, where she helps guide a crew led by yet another strong female character, Hera Syndulla.Īnd now we have a whole new era of films, with a new status quo for its female characters. The Clone Wars brought us Ahsoka, Anakin’s apprentice, but while rich stories could be found in The Clone Wars at times, her story skipped over what could have been some of her greatest moments of development. By Revenge of the Sith, Padme had become more of a plot device than an actual character, pretty much written out of the movie on a whim by story’s end.
Padme’s own character was diluted as the script veered away from her in favor of Anakin, whose own fear for her life drove him to the dark side. Leia and Padme were both relatable and important to a lot of women, but they were pushed aside as their respective trilogies went on. That changes in The Force Awakens, in which Rey takes her place as the hero of the Sequel Trilogy. However, the male characters have always been in the spotlight. Padme was the queen of an entire planet and a skilled negotiator in The Phantom Menace, and Ahsoka Tano is an accomplished Jedi in Rebels and The Clone Wars. Princess Leia was revolutionary for her time. That’s not to say the franchise hasn’t had its share of powerful women.
