    “her not giving two cents about a group of Tuskens being killed is undoubtedly interesting,”

    No, it really isn’t. Not even slightly.

    And cut out this “cancel” garbage. You just sound like a desperate tool when you say that anymore.

      Enough cancelling people. There are real racists in the world and y’all are writing articles about Padme from star wars? Get a life.

      1. Em

        I’m agreeing with you in case my tone made it sound like I was telling you to get a life. I meant whoever wrote the article needs a life.

      2. Bennett

        Anakin was appalled by and worked against slavery in The Clone Wars. I guess it goes to show humans are complex beings.

      3. Howard Roy Archer

        So she is racist because she didn’t care that he killed his mothers murderers, but was upset that he killed children? You sound f-ing ridiculous.

    2. Mark

      Let’s not forget that the sand people were violent and would attack anyone they could. You get the same reaction when some violent person has been killed compared to someone that’s done good their whole lives. What little you know about the sand people says they’re xenophobic and highly racist themselves.

      Also, I would say that the problem with the prequels is that they were trying to fill in blanks with the story, and that can result in some hastily written rubbish just to fill the holes, and that kind of writing never holds up to close scrutiny.

    I follow SW Theory on Instagram. He was just making a joke. Just proof that leftists can’t take a joke.

    1. Em

      It figures they were joking and the article made it sound serious. Go figure. You can’t trust the media these days at all.

    2. Jackie

      Anyone who still says leftist or right wing is absolutely brain dead. Proof that Republicans such as yourself are unloved and a dying breed in this country.

        Seek mental help, you obviously need it.

    3. PA

      It literally says multiple times in the article above that it was a joke. Just proof that “righties” can’t read and can’t comprehend.

      1. No82

        Found the NPC.

    Enough with this racist crap and all this might offend someone crap. People need to take a chill pill. And stop trying to change stuff. And if someone says something about someone of another color right away it’s racist. Bull.

    1. Joseph Collins

      This is a ridiculous article! The person who wrote this obviously couldn’t figure out anything else to write about! Get a life! This is a movie! Not to mention it’s 20 years old! In the future I hope you have better stories to write about!!

  4. Jim

    It’s just a damn movie. People take things way too seriously.

  5. Marie

    Oh cut out this SJW garbage. What fans? No one cares Alex. Everyone loved and still loves Padme’. Go find a different franchise to trash.

  6. Jaxx

    Y’all know it’s a MOVIE, right? FANTASY…..MAKE-BELIEVE….NOT REAL?

    My eyes roll back in my head every time I hear that someone wants to cancel an actor / movie / franchise because something / someone is racist / sexist / non-LGBTQ / [insert latest idiotic rant here].

    If you don’t like the movie / franchise / actor, DON’T WATCH. It’s really that simple.

  7. Julian h

    You do know it’s a film right, it’s a story it’s not real.

  8. Matthew

    Emperor not Emporer

    1. Matthew

      Emperor, not Emporer. Punctuation is real.

  9. J

    Obvious point, the younglings aren’t all human.

    1. Genericstatue

      Right

  10. Mark

    …says the guy who clicked on it. Lol.

  11. Ogyu

    The whole prequel trilogy should have been canceled before it was made. Just sayin.

    1. Turtle

      Still millions of times better than the Disney trilogy

  12. Harley

    They murdered his mother for christ sake

    1. Turtle

      Not only that. They took a shot at him in the pod race, they keep slaves and work them to death, denying the basics like water. Tuskuns are not an innocent species

  13. Ted

    I guess the reaction are different, because of the knowledge, maybe she doesn’t know not too much about the tuskens, but she was actually so related with the jedy, the reaction could be mor awful with the jedy kids because they’re like a family for anaking and she knew it, she also knew that killing his own family was too far even for a sith. She knew the tuskens torture and kill Anakin’s mother, so she tray to understand, I guess those situations were lot of different, so the reaction as well.

Though, remember that the jedy kids were a mixed race group, so they’re not exactly a race, more a group of people.

    I love Star Wars, as evidenced by the multi thousand dollar collection of movie accurate light sabers and blasters hanging on my wall right now.
    However…….you woke folks need to get a grown up grip.
    Padme isn’t real. Neither are her motivations.
    The sand people aren’t real. Neither are Jedi younglings.
    Are sand people a race or a species. Is it racism or species ism?
    Younglings comprised multiple species.
    So at best your silly argument is Padme was a Classist.
    All these characters exist in the mind of one man, Lucas.
    You going to cancel him now?
    MEANWHILE IN UKRAINE………
    You empty blue haired, noise pierced narcissists.

    1. Wing

      Don’t give these fools any ideas

  16. Genericstatue

    They’ve been real characters for far longer than that though, there’s many different tribes of them that have mostly the same beliefs but different ways of life.

  17. Ed

    You know what heres an idea get a life its a movie people really cancel this get him firied cause he said this 10 or 15 years ago get over it its like being a teenager bla bla bla

    This is so beyond ignorant, there’s not anything humorous cancel culture. The fact that people are so narcissistic that they think they have the power to “cancel” people because they don’t have “the right” beliefs is a violation of everything this country was founded upon. There are people that still think the earth is flat. You can’t prevent someone from having their own beliefs in their households.

  19. SAW

    We could also simply accept the fact that Lucas is a terrible writer, with absolutely no idea what the word “continuity” actually means.
