I am a Star Wars fan and have read many a book, and own many a toy, but I am not as obsessed with Star Wars as some people are. True my family and friends would say I am obsessed, but when you compair this web page to others about Star Wars you will find it lacking in many ways. It's not ment to be the end all and be all, or ultimate guide to Star Wars, or even Queen Amidala. It's just a simple page to a new character in the Star Wars Universe that I already have a liking to. So this page will center around her, but also contain what ever else I feel like adding to this page, that I like about Star Wars. The link directly below will take you to the Queen Amidala FAQ.
The richness, variety and intricacy of the Episode I costumes can be seen on many of the story's characters, but none more so than the Queen. Although hesitant to admit to a favorite costume or character, Biggar concedes that she found many opportunities in designing and creating outfits for Queen Amidala, played by Natalie Portman, and her handmaidens. "The costumes for the Queen's planet, Naboo, were very interesting to do, because we printed distinctive designs onto the fabrics," she explains. "We also used various dye techniques, which allowed us to incorporate modern fabrics with antique pieces." The Queen wears eight costumes throughout the movie. Far fewer were originally planned, but Lucas' desire to expand the universe led top an almost three-fold increase. "George, wanted the Queen to have a different outfit every time we see her," Biggar says.
