"I will not a condone a course of action that will lead us to war." --Queen Amidala

"Unless, of course, that course of action will let me wear even more cool dresses." Well, Queen Amidala didn't really say that second part, but would you be surprised if she did?

"I will not a condone a course of action that will lead us to war." --Queen Amidala

"Unless, of course, that course of action will let me wear even more cool dresses." Well, Queen Amidala didn't really say that second part, but would you be surprised if she did? No one in the galaxy has better-looking outfits than the young queen, and in Phantom Menace she changes in and out of them more often than Jar Jar Binks gets in the way. This gracefully illustrated paper doll book shows off all her best getups, along with a Natalie Portman cutout figure to model them on. (The book even includes a dressed-down, armed Padm� doll, for when it's time to stop lookin' pretty and start shootin'.) Artist Joyce Patti gets each dress just right, from the Royal Sovereign of Naboo medal atop Amidala's horn-headed Senate attire to the intricate embroidery on her throne-room gown. Perhaps best of all, the cover of the book folds out to become a full-color, 12-by-18-inch Royal Palace backdrop for acting out the queen's most dramatic scenes. (And if you've forgotten her lines, don't worry--the book includes shots from the movie and quotes from her royal highness.) (Ages 9 to 12) --Paul Hughes
