But despite the good fortune that had brought those three into her life, improving her lot a millionfold, Shmi Skywalker had always kept a special place in her heart reserved for her Annie, her son, her hero.
And so now, as it seemed the end of her life was imminent, Shmi’s thoughts focused on those memories she had of Anakin, while at the same time, she reached out to him with her heart. He was always different with such feelings, always so attuned to that mysterious Force. The Jedi who had come to Tatooine had seen it in him clearly. Perhaps, then, Annie would feel her love for him now.
She needed that, needed to complete the cycle, to let her son recognize that through it all, through the missing years and the great distances between them, she had loved him unconditionally and had thought of him constantly.
Annie was her comfort, her place to hide from the pain the Tuskens had, and were, exacting upon her battered body.
Every day they came in and tortured her a bit more, prodding her with sharp spears or beating her with the blunt shafts and short whips. It was more than a desire to inflict pain, Shmi realized, though she didn’t speak their croaking language. This was the Tusken way of measuring their enemies, and from the nods and the tone of their voices, she realized that her resilience had impressed them.
They didn’t know that her resilience was wrought of a mother’s love. Without the memories of Annie and the hope that he would feel her love for him, she would surely have given up long ago and allowed herself to die. [R.A. Salvatore. Attack of the Clones]

Saw a gif of Wille and thought it was of Pernilla August in Star Wars. They truly are perfectly cast as mother and son.

I think it’s so cute that pernilla always signs her comments to edvin off with mamsen 🥰
Would love to hear an interview with her about yr. I still can’t believe that so fr no one has asked edvin about her??
She's a gem! I would love to hear her talk about YR but it seems unlikely!

I like that they gave nuance to the queen this season. Her love and support for her son is more obvious for us and for Wilhelm. They communicate more and better, and she hugs him.
Even if she is still all in the royal bullshit, we can see that she mainly wants to protect him from the media exposure and harsh public opinion. Secrets are not just about keeping apparences, but it’s also about Wilhelm’s right to have privacy. And that was taken from him with the video. That’s why it was important for her to deny it. Not to deny that her son was queer but to not take away Wilhelm’s right to come out when and how he will choose to.
She do not support August as an heir and she’s the one to push Wilhelm to see a psychologist. It’s a balance between her caring for her son’s mental health and selfishly wanting him to act properly and not make scenes anymore to not embarrasse her. And during the last scene she feels divided between being proud of Wilhelm to make the speech and push forward his anxiety, and just wanting everything to go the way she wants.
But i don’t know, i feel they did well with her character. She feels more like a mother, who has huge and fixed expectations about her son but still. She knows how difficult it is to be in their position as royals and public persona and try in her way to preserve Wilhelm from too much pain while still having a personal agenda about it all.
Also Pernilla was glowing in each scene.

I was watching Young Royals and kept thinking 'damn, the queen looks so much like shmi skywalker'
So I looked her up on Wikipedia and:
Oh. It is Shmi Skywalker.

I have never had more heart attacks in my life than I just did scrolling through the Clone Wars cast list. YOU GUYS. Sorry if I'm almost 2 decades late, but Jim Cummings plays hando?!?! Prince wilhelms mom from Young Royals plays SHMI SKYWALKER??? (It's her in the movies, too. I don't know how I didn't pick that up) This doesn't surprise me, but Dee Bradley Baker also plays Appa in atla.
#ive been watching this show for years and the cross over with other shows im obsessed with is insane#how did i not know these things#the clone wars#star wars#young royals#avatar the last airbender#atla#dee bradley baker#jim cummings#pernilla august

It’s very strange going from watching young royals to the phantom menace and remembering that the queen and Shmi are the same person

Barring the fact that she's got issues, I really think Kristina is attractive. I mean, she's played by Pernilla August, and she dresses well. Personality and life situation aside, she's pretty solid. (Not on anon because I own this confession)
