We still don't have Padme.

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.

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.

Padme Was the Queen of the Naboo, whereas Leia was the ADOPTED princess, Padme's planet was liberated, while Leia's was blown to bits, and the most important thing to recognize about Padme is that SHE GAVE PALPATINE POWER BY NOMINATING HIM FOR SUPREME CHANCELLOR!!!

Padme's death was the reason for Anakin's fear, and as yoda put it, fear leads to the dark side.

What I'm saying is that Padme is the CAUSE OF THE EMPIRE, and therefore the rebellion, as her actions got Palp into power, and her marriage to Anakin ultimately spurred him into joining the dark side. Leia and even more so Rey are both just two people who were born into an oppressive galaxy, didn't like it and ended up fighting the Empire and First Order Respectively. I NEVER said that leia was less of an icon, she truly is a bigger one, but logically padme is a much more important character to the sequence of events that led to the Empire, and therefore the rebellion, who destroyed the Empire leading to the first order and then the resistance against that. The ONLY thing in the Star Wars Universe that could've made Padme not be such a key character is if she wasn't the one to nominate palp, and if the Empire's rise had come from the separatists winning the war.
