She is smart, beautiful, strong, and amazing. Also, she is the reason Luke and Leia are alive.
She was the queen of a planet at a very young age and accomplished so much in her very short life.

She is smart, beautiful, and married to Anakin.

Padmé is so much better than Leia and Rey because she is beautiful and kind.

Asajj Ventress

Asajj Ventress is a fictional character from the Star Wars franchise, active during the Clone Wars. She appears in the Clone Wars micro-series and in Star Wars: The Clone Wars film and television series. Ventress, a former Sith apprentice turned bounty hunter, is voiced by Nika Futterman.

Asajj Ventress has a great character arc where she is always trying to find a place where she can belong, but she constantly faces tragedy. This gives her story a very satisfying conclusion in the Dark Disciple novel and makes her one of my favorite female Star Wars characters.

Darth Traya

Captain Phasma

Captain Phasma is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, portrayed by actress Gwendoline Christie. She was introduced in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which is the first film in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Phasma serves as the commander of the First Order's stormtrooper forces.

I hate that they killed her off. That was stupid and dumb.

Jyn Erso is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. She is portrayed by English actress Felicity Jones in the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Jyn is a rebel soldier who plays a key role in stealing the plans for the Death Star.
