  Conor, I hate to break it to you, but Brianna existed almost 4000 years before Padme was even born. She’s from a totally different era, namely the era depicted in the video game Knights of the Old Republic II. Thus, not one of the queen’s handmaidens, but indeed a handmaiden.

  Stop looking at me like that.

  Oh snap.

  Sorry. The truth must be told.

  Right on, Hugh…I’ll admit as well I have maybe a bit too much knowledge regarding the handmaidens of Padme Naberrie, but perhaps I should leave the comments to more accomplished aficionados.

  If you’ll pardon me, I have to go re-read my SW: E1 Queen Amidala Journal. Oh God, I wish I was kidding…

  Brianna?? More handmaiden names from the Old Republic era include Ashley, Savanna, Sierra, Moesha and of course, Posh Spice.

  Don’t forget “Fume’ ” and “Flambe’ “. Of course, they were mostly consigned to the kitchen. And they didn’t smell as pretty as the others.
  The dry-cleaning bill for all of that orange velvet must have been massive.

  I have one thing to say:
  Sashé, Shanté.
  Shanté. Shanté.
  Shanté, Shanté, Shanté.

  I saw a sign outside of a local movie theater that said “Midnight Showing of The Clone Wars!” I felt bad that they’d be staying open so late for maybe two people.

  Oh how droll Mr. Binx, however, I can’t help but think that your time might be somewhat better spent evaluating the relative merits of a certain commemorative unit of exchange.

  My lord in heaven above, can’t you see what your doing to Suzy with this dereliction of your responsibilities? Or do you so delight in the suffering of a fellow human, that you deliberately withhold the outcome of your fiendish little tourney?

  Must have just gotten lazy after a while, or something… O.o

  Either way, this should definitely not be associated with the original trilogy. It all went steeply downhill after Episode One. X_X

  George Lucas has multi-millions worth of technology and staff trained to expertly produce “trompe l’oeil” beings of all kinds and descriptions, and their accompanying environs. He touts this ability, dismissing those so-called purists who long for the days of stop-motion and Muppetry. Fine. Then why produce a product in which the characters are rendered so hideously? Is he worried that if he unleashes all of his CG powers that we movie-going mortals will confuse them with living creatures and mass panic from inferred insanity will result?
  Maybe it was easier and cheaper for the factories of the East to produce action figures et al that resemble these monstrosities.
  Sorry, guys. I used to love Star Wars… I guess I still do.

  I’m just glad the handmaiden pictured is CGI, because HOLY COW…can you imagine trying to babe-fu your way through a skirmish with those outlandish gazongers? Hope she has a CGI 1/4″ steel boned undergarment in there somewhere.

  wonder how many Lucas CG modelers would volunteer for bra construction division?
  or for that matter, codpiece rendering?

  wow. we’ve entered a really weird area, here.

  I appreciate the star wars and all, but you guys are slipping from this blogs purpose. Maybe you need this to keep you focused -

  Hmmmmm….“She has always brought shame upon us. In terms of combat, she is the least among us. Her stance always had too much passion about it.”

  Is that the Naboo way of saying she was a skank? Always ready for some Jedi party action?

  The funny part is, this (as said before) is from KOTOR II, when the KOTOR series is probably the best thing to come out of the Star Wars series since the original trilogy.

  Brianna’s actually an interesting character from a decent video game… probably because she was invented by people with only the vaguest of connections to George Lucas.

  Reply from MSTJedi on August 20, 2008:

  In the wake of the prequels, I’m glad for KOTOR, because otherwise I’d be one deeply disappointed fanboy. I’m hoping The Force Unleashed will be at least on par with the Jedi Knight series.

• 14 Thom_Serveaux on Aug 18, 2008 at 1:03 pm

  I’m probably only saying this because I’m not the least bit familiar w/ the KOTOR part of the franchise, nbut Brianna kinda reminds me of Dark Horse Comics ‘The Ghost’…
