Whichever side of the fence you’re on about the first Star Wars prequel, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, there’s no denying the deep affection fans have for Padmé Naberrie and the engrossing story of how she became the Queen of Naboo. Last year’s YA Star Wars novel from New York Times bestselling author E.K. Johnston, Queen’s Shadow, educated and entertained readers with tales of the young noble’s transition from Queen Amidala to Senator of Naboo in the aftermath of the climactic events depicted in the Lucas-directed 1999 film.
