reasons people think Padme and Leia are alike:
- both were royalty
- both served in the Senate
- both females
- ‘like mother like daughter’
reasons people think Anakin and Luke are alike:
- both become Jedi
- both excellent pilots
- use blue lightsabers (????)
- ‘like father like son’
reasons Luke is actually meant to mirror Padme in the story:
- he is the one to have faith there is good in Anakin
- Padme and Luke have similar control over their emotions
- both stubborn once they have their mind set on something
- in the end his faith in Anakin saves him, the way Padme’s would have
reasons Leia is more similar to Anakin:
- she is angry
- like all the time; Carrie Fisher even said she played Leia as barely restraining her anger most of the time
- she’s impulsive
- she would probably win a snark-off against Clone Wars era Anakin and that’s saying something
- have a similar sense of duty; Anakin to the Jedi, Leia to the Alliance
