One of the Star Wars prequels’ most pressing tasks was to establish the parentage of Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. The original Star Wars trilogy shocked audiences, first with the revelation that Darth Vader was Anakin Skywalker, Luke’s father, and then with the revelation that Leia was Luke’s twin sister. The identity of the twins’ mother was never touched upon in the original films. However, by going back to before their birth in the prequel trilogy, George Lucas was finally able to shed light on how Anakin became a father and introduced Padmé Amidala as the mother of Luke and Leia.Some of the questions Star Wars fans had regarding the parents of the original trilogy’s two foremost heroes began to find answers with the release of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace in 1999. A lot of the answers that were offered may have surprised fans and likely defied a few expectations surrounding the Star Wars prequel trilogy. For instance, although the films were set to explore Darth Vader’s origins, many fans were not expecting Anakin’s story to start when he was just a child, as was the case in The Phantom Menace. A lot of questions were also raised regarding the age difference between Anakin and Padmé.Padmé’s age wasn’t necessarily immediately obvious in The Phantom Menace. Aside from the fact she spent most of the film changing between her various royal outfits as Queen of Naboo and the peasant disguise she adopted when accompanying Qui-Gon Jinn on his mission, her role in galactic politics as a reigning queen often forced her to display wisdom and maturity beyond her years. In actuality, Padmé was just 14 years old in Episode I when she met Anakin Skywalker, a 9-year-old enslaved boy on Tatooine, who took an immediate shine to her.
