Padmé Amidala Unravels a Tangled Web of Corruption in an All-New Episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars -- This Friday at 9:00pm on Cartoon Network!
在《星球大战：克隆人战争》的最新一集中，帕德梅·阿米达拉揭露了一张错综复杂的腐败网——该集将于本周五晚9点在卡通频道播出！

When Senator Onaconda Farr dies under suspicious circumstances, Padmé Amidala sets out to find the person responsible -- working independently of the efforts of the bureaucratic local inspector. Following a trail of clues, she delves into a dangerous world of backstabbing, lies and corruption. The tangled web of intrigue reaches to the highest levels of the Republic political hierarchy in "Senate Murders," an all-new episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars airing at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT Friday, March 19 on Cartoon Network.
欧纳康达·法尔议员在可疑情况下意外身亡，于是帕德梅·阿米达拉着手寻找该对此负责的人——并撇开官僚的当地警探独立进行调查。循着连串线索，她深入到一个充满阴谋陷害、谎言和腐败的世界里。《议会谋杀案》中，这张错综复杂的阴谋之网触及到共和国政治集团的最高层，这是《星球大战：克隆人战争》的最新一集，将于东部/太平洋时间3月19日星期五晚9点在卡通频道播出。

"Many of Padmé's episodes center around politics, for obvious reasons, and they're sometimes a departure -- to a degree -- from the action-packed episodes," says Catherine Taber, the voice of Padmé in the series. "We try to create a feeling of tension and suspense, but Dave [Filoni] and the writers always include a touch of comedy, as well. It's an essential element of the classic detective genre that influenced 'Senate Murders,' but it's also such a key ingredient of classic Star Wars. One of the nice things about The Clone Wars is that we hearken back to all of the classic elements that made Star Wars so great, including the political intrigue," she continues. "Diplomacy -- or the lack thereof -- is essential to The Clone Wars, and part of the foundation for the Star Wars Saga. Good and bad, the motivations are so important; these are the reasons people fight. I love the great battle sequences and I love watching things blow up, but it's all so much better when we know about the quiet conflicts underneath."
“由于显而易见的原因，许多帕德梅的剧集都以政治为中心内容，有时它们和那些紧张刺激的剧集有点疏离。”本系列中帕德梅的配音演员Catherine Taber说，“我们试图营造出一种紧张和悬疑的感觉，但戴夫[菲洛尼]和编剧也总是加进一点喜剧的调子。《议会谋杀案》受经典侦探类型片的影响，这种调子是这类片中必不可少的元素，对经典《星球大战》来说它也是个关键的组成部分。《克隆人战争》有个好处，它让我们回想起所有那些让《星球大战》变得如此伟大的经典要素，包括政治阴谋。”她继续说，“外交手段——或者缺少外交的部分——对《克隆人战争》而言是必不可少的，对《星战》传奇而言也是基础的一部分。善与恶，动机非常重要；那是人们战斗的原因。我喜欢看壮阔的战斗戏，我爱看东西被炸飞，但当我们见了平静表面下的斗争，就知道它们更加精彩。”

Through rarely in the series' epic spaces battles or out on the front lines, Padmé's behind-the-scenes role often serves to shine a light upon the character motivations, revealing the driving forces -- and devious machinations -- which propel the war itself. Additionally, her own investigations, ambitions and efforts tend to uncover aspects of the conflict altogether unseen by the swashbuckling, headlining heroes.
帕德梅很少参与本系列史诗般的空战或出现在前线，但她的幕后戏份经常昭示出人物的动机，揭示推动战争本身的驱动力，以及阴谋诡计。再者，她自己的调查，抱负和努力趋向于揭露那些神气活现的英雄主角完全没有发现的阴谋面。

"In her own way, Padmé brings so much to the larger story. Of course, she's the reason that Anakin eventually falls to the dark side, and she's the mother of Luke and Leia -- but what I think is really interesting is that she's such an important foil to many of the characters. It is often through her that we see other central characters illuminated."
“帕德梅以她自己的方式给故事的大格局添加了那么多东西。当然了，她是阿纳金最终堕入黑暗面的原因，她是卢克和莱娅的母亲——但我认为真正有趣的地方在于，对许多角色来说，她是一个如此重要的衬托。我们经常通过她看到其他主要角色的光彩。”

padme也太政治了。。。

心无所羁

观看完15集，貌似还没有揭示出议会内部黑幕，估计下一集会做进一步探讨

luketime

所谓“充满阴谋陷害、谎言和腐败的世界”，我觉得就是指迪奇议员私下派人跟踪政敌，伺机挖黑材料整垮对手；洛洛对自己的同胞痛下杀手，并栽赃其他议员；腐败则是指政界普遍的无良、不诚实、道德败坏的相互倾轧。（腐败这个词很暧昧，在中国尤其指贪污受贿，因此我们的第一反应不是政治斗争的黑暗面）

其实这几条实在是司空见惯，闭着眼睛都能猜到的。这种所谓揭露不揭露，感觉是说给没见过社会阴暗面的年幼观众听的。所以我们并不觉得帕德梅揭露了什么我们不知道的秘密。

对于一部PG级的动画来说，好人集团里以和平与正义之名杀戮，可以算是非常黑暗的故事了。

欧纳康达·法尔议员，似乎是第一位在动画里被杀死的电影角色。
