Star Wars Insider #142
Today the latest issue of Star Wars Insider magazine, #142, hits newsstand shelves.
When editor Jonathan Wilkins asked me to write an article on Padmé and her role in the Prequel Trilogy, I never expected it would end up the cover story for the magazine. So a big thank you to Jonathan for the honor! In the article I talk about the strengths of Padmé’s character in The Phantom Menace, the mirrors of the future tales of her son and daughter in Attack of the Clones, and the nature of the tragedy unfolding around her in Revenge of the Sith, as well as the implications of her death and the way it was written. I hope you’ll give the article a read and tell me what you think.
In the Rogues Gallery column, Leland Chee identifies each of Amidala’s handmaidens from the Prequels along with their pictures.
Elsewhere in the issue, fellow Suvudu contributor Eric Geller discusses Season Five of The Clone Wars and its implications for the overall Star Wars saga. Artist Joe Corroney contributes some more great artwork of Jaina Solo, as well as her old friend Tenel Ka and niece Allana. Anticipating this fall’s The Making of Return of the Jedi, J.W. Rinzler provides a peek at some behind-the-scenes images he uncovered in his research that didn’t make it into the book.
Finally, I had to smile at Matt Martin’s shoutout to #TeamHondo in his sidebar on the This Is Madness character tournament. Maybe next year, pirate!
