Encyclopedic overview

Padmé Amidala (/ˈpædmeɪ ˌɑːmɪˈdɑːlə/, PAD-may AH-mih-DAH-lə) is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. She first appeared in the 1999 film The Phantom Menace as the teenage queen of the fictional planet Naboo. In the following two films of the prequel trilogy, Padmé becomes a member of the Galactic Senate and secretly marries Anakin Skywalker, a Jedi Knight. Anakin has dreams of Padmé's death, and his fear drives him toward the dark side of the Force, which results in his transformation into Darth Vader. Padmé eventually dies after giving birth to the twins Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa.

Natalie Portman portrays Padmé in all three prequel films. The character also appears in animated series, novels, comics and video games.
