you will recognise this lady,
Padmé Amidala Naberrie, who was a courageous, hopeful leader, serving as Queen and then Senator of Naboo, but what you may not know is that she was inspired by a real person,
long after the Queen’s death, her surviving daughter Tserenkhand recalled the sudden disappearance of her mother as a child saying, “They took her away at night. She did not wake us, only left a piece of sugar on our pillows. I still remember the joy of a sudden discovery of that rare delicacy in the morning”, Queen Genepil (1905-1938) was the last queen of Mongolia, She was executed in May, 1938, shot as part of the systematic Stalinist destruction of Mongolian culture, in which a vast amount of the population were killed, including almost all the shamans and Buddhist lamas, but I guess in some way her memory lives on in the character of Padmé Amidala Naberrie.
