Padme Skywalker's Journal

A Future Jedi Knight

Greetings. I am Queen Padme Amidala. I have responsiblities to fill as a Queen and it isn't always easy. I care about everyone and I am sure that I have made some enemies. There are those from the Dark Side that hate the Senate, Jedi Knights and myself as well. I wish the world was a peaceful place but it isn't. I respect and admire the Jedi Knights but they can be so uptight and are way too serious. Obi-Wan is stern but has a big heart. He just tries to hide it. There is little green Yoda. A short adorable creature who is wise but way too serious. The Jedi Knights hold me in high reguard and protect me. I think an awful lot of Obi-Wan and Yoda. I like the rest of the Jedi Knights as well.

I went with Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon to a village today in the desert. Course, no one here knows that I am a Queen. You don't know what evil you will ran into out here. I met the cutest little boy named Anakin Skywalker. He thought that I was an angel and am beautiful. He is adorable. He is a slave to a big ugly bird creature. So is his mother. She is a sweet adorable woman. Anakin loves her. He is so devoted to her. I admire that about the child. I am only six years older then him. I guess that I am still a child, too. I became Queen at a young age and my life revolves at a fast pace.

I met a tall, rabbit, alligator looking creature named Ja-Ja. He can be annoying but I adore him. Anikan has built a pod that he will be racing in and he showed it to me. He has big ideas. He wants to rule the world but I think every little boy does. I love the kid. He's like a brother that I never had.

Today was the race that Anakin was looking forward to. He knows how to fly the pod he made. He also invented a robot named C3PO. The race was intense and somewhat dangerous but Anakin won. That is so neat. I had to hug the little guy. Qui-Gon bought Anakin's freedom. He wants to train him as a Jedi Knight but he will have to ask the Council of Jedi Knights. They are strict with the rules. I hope they accept the cute, adorable kid. He has so much to offer. He is brave and I know that he has what it takes to be a Jedi Knight. I cried when Anakin hugged his mother and told her good-bye. He really loves his mother. He almost didn't leave with us but his mother told him that he has a chance to be a Jedi Knight. They will see each other again. I cried myself. It helped when I hugged him. His mother was grateful for that. Obi-Wan frowns at this but he needs to lighten up. Anakin is still a child and has a lot to learn. He will miss his mother but he will be ready to be a Jedi Knight. I had to learn to be a Queen. I am not uptight. My spirit hasn't been broken. Obi-Wan needs a woman in his life but I would never speak it outloud to him

We are back at the capitol. The city sure is noisy. Anakin was reluctantluy accepted to be trained as a Jedi Knight. I am so happy for him. I had to leave and I probably won't see Anakin for a long time. He will change the world. The Empire will never be the same.
