Throughout her relatively short life, she played a vital role in the politics and events surrounding the Clone Wars. Amidala and other Senators were responsible for creating the foundation for any chance of rebellion against the Empire.
Padmé Amidala was originally one of the Rebellion's earliest creators in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, but the scenes depicting this were left out of the final cut.
At the supposedly secret meeting known as the Corellian Treaty, Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, Garm Bel Iblis, Jedi-General Rahm Kota, and others meet to formally create the Rebellion against the Empire.
Padme mostly just seemed to be going along(when she's not being hesitant), Mon Mothma and Bail Organa were clearly leading the meetings. And Mon and Bail actually followed through, the organization they planned evolved to be the Rebel Alliance over the years while Padme is being dead because of...a broken heart.
Padmé Naberrie was born to humble parents, and was identified early as one of Naboo's best and brightest. She devoted herself to civic duty, and was elected Queen of Naboo at age 14. Padmé adopted Amidala as her name in office.

What is the age gap between Anakin and Padmé?
Padmé was born in 46 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin) and Anakin's miraculous Force-created birth came in 41 BBY, so Padmé was five years older than him. They did not meet until Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, which took place in 32 BBY.
Padme Amidala was a former queen and senator from Naboo, a planet near the outer rim territories in a galaxy far, far away. She is the mother of Rebel Alliance heroes Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa.
The Rebel Alliance is formed by Starkiller and his allies on Corellia. Starkiller's fellow subversives were initially resistant to the notion of open rebellion. They felt that the galaxy had to be shown one way or another that the Empire was vulnerable.
Anakin Skywalker's birth mystery is solved - his mother, Shmi Skywalker, reveals that there was no father and she can't explain what happened. Qui-Gon Jinn believed that the Force itself created Anakin in Shmi's womb, making him the Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force.
Not all of the Jedi joined The Rebel Alliance in the Star Wars universe. While some Jedi did join the Rebellion, others chose to remain neutral or went into hiding after the rise of the Galactic Empire.
Adopting the military rank of general, she led the Resistance during the Cold War and sought to make amends with Ben. Despite her efforts, the First Order succeeded in destroying the New Republic, and Organa's husband died at the hand of their estranged son in 34 ABY.
As the Galactic Civil War broke out, Emperor Palpatine ironically fought against a rebellion that he started in secret. After the Empire suffered a devastating defeat in 0 BBY, in which the Alliance destroyed the Death Star, the Emperor steadily began to lose his absolute control over the galaxy.
Padme Amidala's secret marriage with Anakin Skywalker was one of the biggest reasons he eventually turned to the dark side. His emotions and love for her often clouded his judgment, and sometimes led him to be violent.
The 2016 reference book Star Wars Character Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded states that King Ars Veruna preceded Padmé Amidala as monarch of Naboo, with Star Wars: Complete Locations adding that he ruled for 13 years.
As a commander, Luke Skywalker wore a 3-blue rank badge with the double-dot row at the bottom. Major Bren Derlin's badge had three red dots arranged with two on the top row, and the remainder below and between them.
The B-wing fighter was designed by Joe Johnston and Bill George. The craft derives its name from the fact that the crew labeled the two new Rebel starfighter models in Return of the Jedi as "A fighter" and "B fighter".
When Padme confronted her husband on Mustafar, Anakin choked her to unconsciousness out of anger. While the act alone didn't kill her, Anakin's turn to the dark side was too much to bear. Holding on long enough to give birth to her children, Padme eventually passed away, having lost the will to live.
The Naboo Royal Starship was the personal starship of Queen Padmé Amidala during her tenure. She utilized the starship during the Invasion of Naboo. Decades after, Emperor Palpatine had the vessel in the Imperial Palace and gave it to Darth Vader for his personal use, knowing that he would be reminded of his past.
Palpatine knew that the attack on Naboo would win him widespread public sympathy. While Padmé and the Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi returned to Naboo to fight the Trade Federation's battle droids, the Senate held a vote that elevated Palpatine to the post of Supreme Chancellor.
Every time she speaks, he remembers Padmé. Fighting alongside Sabé reminds him of fighting alongside his wife. While that is certainly painful enough, it's also reminds Vader of the man he used to be, a past he had long ago attempted to kill and bury. However, the memory of Padmé via Sabé won't let his past stay there.
