Welcome to a new episode of Legends and Lore, your one-stop podcast for discussions of Star Wars canon and the Legends that inspire it.

This episode is all about one of the best characters in Star Wars, Padme Amidala. In our discussion, we cover:

• Our favorite Padme moments in the movies and related media
• The Queen's Shadow, a Padme-centric young adult novel written by E.K. Johnston and recently released by Disney Hyperion
• Two new comics featuring Padme as the main characters. The first one is from Marvel's Age of Republic miniseries, and the second is from IDW Publishing's Star Wars Adventures series
• What we hope to see from future Padme stories

Join your hosts - Elaine, Kate and Matt - and special guest Sarah Dempster for a deep-dive into the subject we love the most: Star Wars!
