Return to The Phantom Menace main page TV-Commentary - The Phantom Menace What's with Queen Amidala's makeup fetish? Didn't Queen Amidala overdo it a bit? Do you think she had all those assistants because she needed so many people to carry her makeup kit? If she had trimmed the makeup budget 25%, do you think she might've had enough money in the treasury to build up an army to resist the invaders?
