No Kidding. I saw some new Ep II action figures, and saw "Padme Amidala".
It had her white outfit, ripped in the middle, bearing her mid-section
(above the waist), she was chained to what looked like a wooden tree stump.
To me, it brought back flashes of "slave-girl" princess Leia. I haven't
seen many previews of Ep. II, read the book, etc. so I don't know how the
above scene relates to anything...just thought I'd mention that.
As far as Amidala in mini-fig form, I don't know when that will happen. But
we still have a couple more years to see what will happen. I wouldn't be
surprised if we don't get too many more Ep. I sets.
