There’s even more. Over the course of the past few weeks, RetroZap! has received a flood of emails, tweets, and all kinds of direct messages related to one little article about Padmé’s death. Thank you so much for all the support. I’m eternally grateful. But, as I heard from more and more readers, one thing became…
There’s something you missed. I find it odd that one of the most pivotal and mysterious moments in the Star Wars saga is discussed infrequently, and when it is the case is closed.
