How come the republic in Star Wars still had monarchies?
Because Lucas is a fucking hack
The Republic is a confederacy with individual planets retaining their own governments. The real question is >how naboo is a monarchy when monarchs are regularly elected with fixed terms
>>216969943Member planets were allowed whatever system of government they chose. The Republic wasn't some faggot nanny state like the federation from star trek that won't let their members have a caste system or slaves or rape gangs.
>>216970096They probably have some connection with the church and hereditary power. Poland elected its kings for lifelong terms.
>>216969943Because she isn't Queen of the Republic but of Naboo>>216970096There are plenty of historical elected monarchies, it isn't that strange.
>>216970470>>216970589Elected monarchies are ok, elected monarchies with fixed terms are republics, even Malaysia draws their elected king from a body of hereditary sovereigns. She was a commoner elected democratically, with a fixed term. By definition that's a republic.
>>216969943Monarchy is the best form of government. Pretty much all republics are effectively monarchies run by the same few aristocratic families, all this gay pretense about democracy is dumb.
>>216969943I don’t fucking know, dude
>The gowns owned by Amidala were kept on Naboo for many years after her death. Eventually, the gowns found their way to Organa.>However, the gowns were thrown into hyperspace by Terex of the First Order after he stole Organa's ship on Cato Neimoidia.RIP
>>216971075>t. JJ Abrams
>>216969943The same reason monarchies are members of the United Nations in real life.
>>216972335>First Ordernot a thing
>>216970854term limits are not the defining feature of republics retard
>>216969943the galaxy was a republic but the planets were sovereign and largely ran themselves as they saw fitbut then again "Princess" wasn't much a job since Padme was "elected" to be a term limit princess and later she became a space senator
>>216970096Better questionWho the fuck elects a 14 year old to be their fucking leader? Shit she isn't even the youngest one they elected.
>>216973720Term limits are not features of monarchies fuckwit
>>216973271The Force Awakens happened, chud.
>>216973890Not true. The British PM has a term limit even though it’s a monarchy.
>>216973961The PM and the King aren't the same person.Holy shit you fucking dumb fucker.
>>216969943Least faggy and pedantic Star Wars thread
>>216974018The actual answer is that republican leaders are representative leaders, while monarchs are sovreign themselves. For the Nabooeian system to work, it would require that former monarchs may not have the legal power they had, but they are still immune from the law of the state they led.
>>216969943whiteoids are like "democracy is the best system" while complaining about no kiddies, no culture and a completely pillaged society that doesn't make anything except coffee shops
