Be a celebrated ruler of a planet, protect peace in the galaxy, and give birth to literal saviors? It's all in a day's work for Padmé Amidala of Star Wars and specifically, The Clone Wars where - together with guest Tommy from the Distant Echoes podcast - we talk about this galactic mother figure.
We compare the size of our blasters, talk about lawmaking, admire some well crafted wigs, and force push against systemic misogyny of how women are valued and written in stories like these.
Be you bounty hunter, Sith lord, death stick salesman, or just trying to pay off your student loans from droid repair school, we're in for quite the ride as we answer the question: is Padmé Amidala our mother?
