Wonderous. Dangerous.

“In one timeline we kiss but the stars don’t come down. In another you set a world on fire for me but I perish in the flames. Another and we’re strangers on a busy street, brushing by close enough to send each other reeling off balance but not stopping. Somewhere there’s a final space where your hand on my face is the punchy climax to an epic saga, where the way our mouths meet takes the breath right out of people’s throats. One universe has us right, of all the millions stacked on millions. So it’s not this one. I can live with that. The world is full of wonders and a hundred years ago the moon was too much to dream of touching. Look how far we’ve come. Turn over your shoulder and just look. Maybe we’ll come across each other at the turning of the century, racing across the breaches between worlds. I’ll build my life on that maybe.”

“She was not a Jedi, she was not a rebel princess with an attitude, and she was not the renegade pilot that loves the smell of trouble and joins a cause for chaos, but Padmé Amidala didn’t need to be any of those things. For all intents and purposes, Padmé was one of the two most important people in the galaxy at the time of her death, for more reasons than the children that she had just birthed. Padmé had already made her mark on the galaxy before Luke and Leia were born. She had already started the Rebel movement by defying the old ways of the Galactic Trade Federation, breaking down barriers of fear between alien races, and making a lasting mark on the most dangerous monster in the galaxy; the final mark that saved the last spark of Anakin Skywalker’s humanity until he met their children and found redemption in them. So next time you’re thinking about a useless supporting character, don’t think of Her Excellency, Senator Padmé Amidala (-Skywalker) of Naboo. She certainly wouldn’t think of anyone that way.”

Live action reference from Cinderella, featuring actress Helene Stanley, drawn over by Disney Studio artists.
“It is obvious why Disney had Stanley act out other animated parts such as Sleeping Beauty and Anita in 101 Dalmatians. She completely understands what animators are looking for. Clear poses and movement that reveals the character’s thinking and personality. It would be easy to over- or underact those scenes.”
