“Though fellow handmaidens Cordé and Versé had perished during an earlier attempt on the Senator’s life, Dormé was willing to put her duty before her own safety in order to act as a decoy for the former monarch during the last days of peace before the beginning of the Clone Wars.“

“After the conclusion of the Clone Wars, Sabé continued to serve the eventual successor to Amidala in the Imperial Senate—Jar Jar Binks. She remained suspicious of the circumstances of Amidala’s death, joining forces with Bail Organa, ally of the late Queen. In her service to the House of Organa, Sabé was employed as an envoy to establish resistance cells across the galaxy, gather and spread information, and handle the distribution of matériel to said rebel groups. Sabé also had the opportunity to interact with young Princess Leia Organa and her friend Winter. Sabé tutored the girls; Organa in matters of court etiquette and diplomacy, and Winter in security and bodyguard tactics.“

“[I]n a sense of total irony, Amidala had helped to destroy the very Republic to which she had devoted her life, both by unknowingly having been manipulated into giving Palpatine the opportunity to seize power for himself, and by indirectly corrupting Skywalker as he fell to the dark side, having himself become susceptible to the subtle influence of Darth Sidious… In the last minutes of her life, Amidala gave birth to healthy twins, Luke Skywalker and Leia Amidala Skywalker, the two who would later go on to join the Rebellion Padmé and other Senators had started and defeat the Empire together. In her final breaths, she told Obi-Wan Kenobi that good still remained in her husband, now Darth Vader. Padmé Amidala died at the age of twenty-seven and her daughter, Leia, was adopted by Senator Bail Organa and his wife, and her son, Luke, was taken in by his father’s step-brother and his wife.“
