I mean, she was a politician. She was probably experienced with suppressing her emotions and trying to remain rational in frustrating situations.

Physically, though, the waddle should have happened.

Right? It’s like the writers had never met a pregnant woman.

Writers? Pretty sure the prequels were just Lucas doing what he wants with minimal oversight or editing.

Movies are not made to show realism, specially not star wars.

The prequel writers? They never met people at all.

I'm pretty sure it was written by a puddle of semi sentient goo, after ingesting half of the original scripts and a third of the Nickelodeon archive.

Excreted. Not written, sorry. I meant excreted.

... is Padme a human?

I think all bets are off because this happened in a galaxy far, far away.

After very light research, it seems like Star Wars humans are the same species, although apparently originally it was intended that Star Wars was a story being relayed, and the "humans" in the story are only humans as a way to better relay the story to humans. Kinda like the aliens from Three Body Problem (the show at least, never read the books).

I choose to believe this, because otherwise it's extremely unlikely that humanoids with identical features evolved both separately and independently, several galaxies away from each other with no interaction at all....Yet they look and behave the same.

It would also explain why Galactic Basic sounds identical to a mix of American and Transatlantic English. Star Wars is just a dramatized retelling of alien rebels standing up to their alien government, with the rebels being portrayed as English-speaking humans so that Westerners on planet Earth will sympathize with their cause.

I think Human is the most versatile subtype of life, as we have

  1. Built in water cooling (sweating)
  2. Built in heating (hair)
  3. Persistence hunting

Each planet is just one biome in Star Wars, but Earth has TONS of biomes

I think most life naturally evolved to become typical "Human"s

You reminded me of this False Knees comic (couldn't find it online so this is a photo of my physical comic book)

I think the Bene Gesserit still had to be impregnated. I'm not that deep into the lore but I doubt they could just will themselves into pregnancy.

I think Bene Gesserits could choose the gender of the baby (film cannon, haven't read the books unfortunately) but yes, they have to get the "seed" from someone

Except that Paul Atreides was supposed to be a girl, proving the Gesserit hubris.

I believe that's because jessica actually wanted the boy. She didn't tell the bene gesserit afair, who would have done something about it.
