We still don't have Padme.

Can anyone explain to me why one of the most important characters in the Star Wars movies and Universe is not yet in the game? The Mother of Luke and Leia SkyWalker, Wife of Anakin, the reason Anakin saved Sheev Palpatine (A.K.A Darth Sidious) from Mace Windu, and on a lesser note, Queen of Naboo and major fighter against the trade federation. Padme also has fights in both the movies and in the Clone wars series. There is no reason why a character this important should not be in the game!

The only excuse I can think of is that the devs hate the prequel trilogy, which doesn't really make sense considering half the in-game music is from that trilogy.

Maybe she could be the first character to inflict Unique block, a status effect direly needed at this point in the game.

...

I mean, they're right. She was kind of meh. Leia kicked more ass.

Did you watch the end of the Phantom Menace, or did the Gungan garbage bore you to sleep lmao.

What I'm saying is that Padme is more IMPORTANT than leia (esp. since padme is leia's mother). Padme is a core character in the star wars universe, and is the reason the Empire was able to exist. (BC seriously if Anakin didn't get confused over her life Palp would've Died to Windu).

I also said that Padme is a viable character in the game because she DID fight, I didn't take about how much she did though. If irrelevant, 1 minute scene characters like The coruscant police, Urorororor, all the jawas with names, teebo (not even named in the movie), lobot, and characters who didn't even really fight like Ackbar, then why can a core character like Padme exist in-game?

How about Republic, already in-game with the ships...

I agreed with you up until that point. Yes, Padme is an important character, and its surprising she hasn't yet made the cut despite the one-offs. But while she was key to Anakin's fall, her contribution to creating the Empire is nil compared to Anakin and Palpatine.

What's more, Leia is far and away a more iconic character and was far more key to the creation of the Rebellion and the downfall of the Empire than Padme was in creating either.

Light Side? yep
Rebel? no
Resistance? no

They'd have to make a new one. like Naboo thingy. hehe, would include Padma, Palpatine, Jar Jar (please no), other gungarbage, and I just lost interest this idea is so boring.

There are already characters that have no affiliation besides Light/Dark side and intended role (Attacker, support, etc.). Namely, Coruscant Underworld Police and Ugnaught.

These characters set the precedent, and to the OP's credit, it is bizarre that they made the cut ahead of many more iconic characters. R2-D2, anyone? How about Bossk, Mother Talzin, General Hux or any of the Star Wars: Rebels characters. I'd definitely take a Destroyer Droid over either of those two as well. But don't let that discussion hijack the thread too much ;P

Go into ships menu and you'll see that R2-d2 and other droids are being put in a future update as essentially mods for ships. Also You forgot Aura Sing (Lmao).

But If you want to view this situation illogically and judge characters by their actions INSTEAD of what they cause mentally, socially, or politically, then Leia Is BY FAR superior to Padme.

Give us Padmé !

I don't see anything in the ships menu that says R2-D2 is being added as a CHARACTER (i.e., light side, support, droid, rebel and, more importantly, usable in ground combat)

As to Leia's social, mental and political acumen, she's directly involved in creating the Rebellion, directly involved in destroying the Death Star AND the Empire, and is an Alderaanian Princess. In the political realm, Alderaan was far more influential than Naboo in the Galactic Senate. Bail Organa much? She inspired not only Luke and Han, but thousands of Rebel troops. She coordinated military action at every level of the station provided her by the Rebel Alliance.

Padme's political career was quite passionate, but her election was largely a populist wave within the Naboo population for her role in fighting the Trade Federation. She was an outspoken activist in the Senate, which worked against her more than it did for her as she lacked an objective political mind, unlike Senator Organa who would pick his battles when they could be won. Jar-Jar Binks had a greater impact than Padme Amidala in creating the Galactic Empire.

Furthermore, Anakin's visions of Padme's death were exactly that: His visions. Not hers. She did not use the Force to influence these and Anakin's own doubts were his, and the Republic's undoing. Saying that Padme was the cause of his betrayal completely flies in the face of the lesson that is being taught by the rise of Darth Vader. Maybe you should actually study deductive logic before accusing someone of thinking illogically.

To that end, Leia is a true Star Wars icon and has been for over 30 years. She has literally represented the franchise longer, and with a wider reach. Currently, the only female character in the series that is poised to be more of an icon is Rey. Padme doesn't come close.
