The Naboo Royal Handmaidens Eirtaé and Rabé, standing behind Queen Amidala

Handmaidens were personal aides to certain important personalities of the galaxy with varying ranks, including Jedi Masters,[1] generals,[2] and monarchs.[3]

The Echani Handmaiden Sisters served Jedi Master Atris on Telos IV. Aside from Brianna, they all had identical appearances; Brianna had the same father as her half-sisters, but a different mother.[1] Before joining the Jedi Order, Jaesa Willsaam lived on Alderaan, serving as a handmaiden to General Gesselle Organa of the House of Organa.[2]

On Naboo, the Naboo Royal Handmaidens served the Monarch of Naboo.[3]

Behind the scenes[]

The idea of having handmaiden lookalikes first appeared in George Lucas's rough draft to Star Wars, where two handmaidens named Alana and Mina accompanied Leia to the Chatos Academy. One of the two took the Princess's place to mislead the Empire when Annikin Starkiller spirited her to safety as the Empire's Space Fortress arrived at Aquilae.[4]
