I believe Padme Amidala embodies the robbed humanity of the character in both in-text and meta ways. This site aims to build a cohesive parallel between Padme\u2019s character arc, of child queen to dying in childbirth, Padme\u2019s place in pop culture as one of many ambiguous woman-girl characters, and Dolores \u201cLolita\u201d Haze.&nbsp;<br><br>I\u2019m not arguing Padme was written as a sexualized child, nor am I accusing anyone involved in her creation of sex crimes. Pedophilia and predation are still very much a topic in my essays. Trigger warnings throughout.<br><br>I don\u2019t consider it my obligation to provide a single, correct interpretation of \u201cLolita\u201d or the Star Wars prequels, nor am I claiming to. This is a comparative exercise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the future I will hopefully have updated this page with my sister essays on why I use the term, \u201cSpace Lolita I: The Empty Queen\u201d and \u201cSpace Lolita II: Daisy Fresh Girl\u201d, which I have not finished because writing is hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/spacelolita.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/spacelolita.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/spacelolita.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spacelolita.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spacelolita.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/spacelolita.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":492,"href":"https:\/\/spacelolita.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61\/revisions\/492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/spacelolita.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spacelolita.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/spacelolita.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
