Action Outfit for Padmé Naberrie
Lanvin, Fall 2015

What If… Queen Amidala and her handmaidens were able to escape the Trade Federation during Fall of Theed because of the sacrifice of Captain Panaka and some of his men. But they’re unable to leave the planet not do they meet up with the Jedi (who weren’t able to get of the ship) instead they meet a clumsy Gungan named Jar Jar Binks and thus the first seed of rebellion are sown.

Months later the Gungans and the Naboo are working together to free their planet from the Trade federation but while the Gungans face the droid armies head on, the rely on other methods then open warfare. And so the Handmaidens spy, sabotage and even succeed in assassinating a high ranking Nemodian or two all the while hoping that one day Naboo will be theirs again….

Had someone told Padmé a year ago that Naboo would be invaded by the Trade Federation and that the Republic would do nothing while her people suffered, she would’ve politely told them they were insane. Now after nearly a year of guerrilla warfare from the Naboo while the Gungans met them head on had begun taking it’s toll on the Federation. Their newest strategy worked miracles, a small group would sabotage often disrupting the communication mechanics of the droids before they would meet Gungans in battle. Not mention all the people that’d been able to free.

Yet for all their recent series of victories, the Republic kept failing then, the Naboo’s hopes that the ancient governing body crumbling day by day. During the few times they’d been able to make contact Senator Palpatine, Padmé had learned that the Federation stalled him and his allies at every turn. From what she had heard the Nemodians and their allies even resorting to intimidation and assassinations. Not mention it didn’t help that Civil Wars had broken out on several planets in Hutt Space. Turning the attentions of Republic their rather then on Naboo.

Padmé Amidala as Governess of Naboo
Galia Lahav, The Lourdes Collection

Anakin Skywalker decides to resign from Jedi Order, although he refuses to tell the council why, after Padmé tells him she pregnant. After Anakin dreams about Padmé dying while giving birth, he convinces her to leave early for Naboo where they tell her family about their clandestine marriage. Unknowingly because the couple wasn’t on Coruscant, they thwarted Palpatine’s plans for Anakin and prevailed him from turning to the dark side. Nor was Anakin present when the Jedi confronted when Mace Windu killed Sidious. Next two decades or so Anakin and Padmé try raise to their children all the while the Republic is falling apart and wars break out around them…

“Madam Governor.”

“I like the sound of that. Are you sure you are okay with this, Ani?”

“Politics are part of you, Angel. I can’t ask you to give them up.”

“You gave up dream of becoming a Jedi for me.”

“I might no longer be a Jedi, but I’m still a Force user. Besides I have my hands full when it comes to the Knights.”

Padmé Naberrie having private moment with Anakin Skywalker
Dennis Basso, Resort 2016

What if… rather than becoming queen after serving as Princess of Theed, Padmé Naberrie volunteered for the Royal Naboo Security Forces. Becoming one of Queen Rigantona’s handmaidens after impressing Captain Quarsh Panaka with her keen mind, strong will, sharp shot with a blaster and persuasive negotiating skills. But the Blockade of Naboo still happened and the Queen, her handmaidens and staff were able to escape the Trade Federation during Fall of Theed because of the Jedi even if they were still forced to land on Tatooine due damaged hyper drive. As Queen Rigantona did not completely trust the Jedi, she ordered Padmé to accompany Qui-Gon Jinn and report his actions to her, it was here she unknowingly met her future husband in the form of young slave boy by the name of Anakin Skywalker through whom’s actions they were able to obtain a new hyper drive. For next few weeks she would take care of the boy as she promised his mother Shmi and thus got know Anakin quite well.

After the victory over the Trade Federation, Padmé would continue to serve the queen as handmaiden for rest of the monarch’s term as well as a second term after Queen Rigantona was reelected. After this Padmé decided the time was ripe to go into business for herself and began working as mercenary for hire, often function as an respective client’s bodyguard, negotiator, bounty hunter and/or spy depending on the job. She however kept into contact with her fellow handmaidens and former queen, the latter being now known as Senator Eirtaé Rigantona who reached out to Padmé for help during the vote on the Military Creation Act. Which would bring her into contact with Anakin Skywalker again…

Padmé’s apartment in CoCo Town was one of Anakin’s favorite, for it was for the lack of a better word more homey then most of her many (safe)houses.

“You are wearing a rather a Nabooan coat.“

Padmé studied him for moment before sighing. “I might be woman of the world, Ani… but I’ve never forgotten my roots.”

Anakin could understand that, as he rain his flesh hand over one of the tapestry that decorated the living room. It was one of the few objects in the house that belonged to him rather then his love. Something he had came across it on a market in the lower levels and secretly bought it. The merchant had never realized it was, how it was supposed to bring good luck to house it hanged in as well as it’s occupants or that the wall hanging was of Tatooinian origin. Woven from dyed bantha fur and herbs leather and decorated with sand symbols. He could never hang the tapestry in his quarters at the Jedi Temple, but here at Padmé’s he could remember and stay true his origins.
