So Palpatine Needs Padmé Dead... is a meme in the Star Wars fandom relating to Palpatine's plan to kill Padmé Amidala in Attack of the Clones. The audio clip used in the meme is from a YouTube review of the prequels by The Cosmonaut Variety Hour.
So Palpatine needs Padmé dead... but he doesn't wanna do it himself.
So he asks Count Dooku... to go kill Padmé.
But Count Dooku... doesn't wanna do it himself.
So Count Dooku asks Jango Fett... to go kill Padmé.
But Jango Fett... doesn't wanna do it himself.
So he asks his shapeshifter friend... to go kill Padmé.
But the shapeshifter... sends a robot... to go kill Padmé!
And if you really wanna be an asshole... and get even more granular... the droid says: "I'll send these little bugs... TO GO KILL PADMÉ!".
Palpatine...
sends a man...
who sends a man...
who sends a shapeshifter...
who sends a robot...
who sends bugs... TO GO KILL PADMÉ!
And what's even funnier is that after they chase the robot and the shapeshifter... Jango has a chance... to go kill Padmé!
But instead...
he goes out of his way to assassinate the person he hired to assassinate Padmé!
One of the most well known memes, and a large contributor to the virality of it is this video, one that uses a digital presentation to coincide with the audio. It was shared on Tumblr on 17th October 2020 by doctorclown,[1] and has over 60,000 notes as of 14th May 2023.
