It just so happened that when I went to get Grey DeLisle’s autograph at Star Wars Celebration IV, my friends Mary Alice Ladd and Kristin Sirota were about to induct Grey into the Rebel Legion as an Honorary Member. Both are wearing costumes based on outfits in which Padmé appeared in Star Wars: Clone Wars. The Rebel Legion is an international Star Wars costuming group where members costume as the good guys of the Star Wars Universe.

Item: Star Wars Celebration III badges pin set
Event: Star Wars Celebration III
Price: $170
I couldn’t find a good picture of the pin set, so I’ve included a photo of the actual badges. As you can see, both the adult and child badges for Saturday feature Senator Amidala. The adult badge has art based on Revenge of the Sith, while the child’s badge has art based on Star Wars: Clone Wars micro-series.
I pre-ordered the set from Intergalactic Trading Company at Star Wars Celebration III in Indianapolis, Indiana, and received it later that month.

Title: Padmé
Artist: Russell Walks
Edition: 100/250
Event: Star Wars Celebration III
Size: 19″ x 13.5″
Price: $50
Russell Walks created this beautiful print of Senator Padmé Amidala with a background of her former residence, the Theed Palace of Naboo, for the Art Show at Star Wars Celebration III. While the Art Show is now a staple of Star Wars Celebration with artists competing for one of a limited number of spots to sell an exclusive art print, this was the first art show and you had to make an effort to even find it.
On the last day of Star Wars Celebration III in Indianapolis, I came across the Celebration Art Show. I purchased the print directly from Russell Walks, although like the current art show, I may have had to pay through an intermediary.
Item: Queen Amidala sketch card
Artist: Spencer Brinkenhoff III
Edition: 49/250
Price: $50
I guess I commissioned Spencer Brinkerhoff III to draw Queen Amidala in the outfit she wore to address the senate in Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace. It would seem Spencer is intending to do a series of 250 sketch cards in 2015.
This was my last purchase at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim. After requesting a sketch in this outfit late on Saturday evening, I remembered just after 4:30 pm on Sunday and returned to Spencer’s booth to buy the sketch card that came with a free original trilogy print.
(The streak is a scanner artifact. It does not appear on the art.)
Item: Clone Wars Padmé
Artist: Grant Gould
Size: 8/5″ x 11″
Material: Markers and blue pencils
Price: $50
Grant Gould seems to be the go to guy if you want art from Star Wars: The Clone Wars. While he focuses on Ahsoka Tano, he does do great work on Senator Amidala. Here he has depicted her in her pilot outfit as seen in the Malevolence arc.
I purchased this sketch directly from Grant Gould in the Art Show at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim on April 16, 2015.
