パドメ・アミダラ
The novelizations of the "Star Wars" prequel films introduced material about Padmé Amidala that was not included in the films. Terry Brooks' ' (1999) includes a discussion between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan in which the former describes the then-queen of Naboo as "something of an unknown" before the Trade Federation blockade. In the ' (2002) adaptation by R. A. Salvatore, there is a detailed conversation between Padmé and her sister Sola Naberrie shortly after Queen Jamillia appoints her senator. Sola chides her for ignoring her personal life: "What about Padmé Amidala? Have you even thought about what might make your life better?" Matthew Stover's "" (2005) elaborates upon Padmé's role in the formation of the Rebel Alliance. Stover narrates Darth Vader's reaction to the death of his wife: Vader thinks to himself, "You killed her because, finally, when you "could" have saved her, when you could have gone "away" with her, when you could have been thinking about "her", you were thinking about "yourself"."
