Forum:SH Archive/An Obidala article

Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 

Hello, I'd like to propose an article that is subject of some controversy - Obidala - The idea behind it is to show that George Lucas intended somehow a triangle (not fulfilled, but suggested). The article would NOT be regarding fan fics and it would only show CANON material that supports Obidala in a way - almost in a platonic way, such are the cases of Revenge of the Sith novel (and one deleted scene within a documentary) and the Last of the Jedi series. Also, there's a quote taken from a CD jacket of the Phantom Menace:

''On several occasions in the revised draft, there is mention of Padme's growing affection for Obi-Wan. When the Jedi argues with Amidala regarding Jar-Jar's fate, the script indicates that Padme is "impressed that Obi-Wan is able to stand up to the Queen." As they prepare to enter Mos Espa, she "gives Obi-Wan a long, adoring look." Once in Mos Espa, Padme watches Obi-Wan "with interest and respect," and it is noted that her "eyes make the powerful Jedi nervous." ''

Obidala, in a way, is one of the reasons of Anakin's turn - Palpatine planting him seeds of doubt:

"Ah, that—well, that is the difficult part. The disturbing part. It seems that Master Kenobi has been in contact with a certain Senator who is known to be among the leaders of this cabal. Apparently, very close contact. The rumor is that he was seen leaving this Senator's residence this very morning, at an... unseemly hour." "Who?" Anakin opened his eyes and sat forward. "Who is this Senator? Let's go question him." "I'm sorry, Anakin. But the Senator in question is, in fact, a her. A woman you know quite well, in fact." "You—" He wasn't hearing this. He couldn't be. "You mean—" Anakin choked on her name.

And the quotes goes on and on. I will gladly bring whatever canon proof this idea.

Again, is only to set it as a reference, not as an actual fact regarding a relationaship, but just to point out that Lucas and the canon authors had it in mind.

Thanks a lot :)
