Frankly, any society that would allow that clown to sit in any position of elected power deserves what they get.

Yeah Queen Amidala....that sodden clownshoes lunatic that you dredged up from the bottom of a pond somewhere completely doomed the entire Galaxy.

Seriously, it's like watching a 1950s Disney animated film. It's actually pretty amazing, as Lucas clearly was trying to be more inclusive by having strong female and minority characters in the movie. It's almost as though his subconscious couldn't help but jam these awful concepts into his film.
