Naboo (Chommell sector of the Mid Rim; Trailing Sectors) STAR WARS: EPISODE II – ATTACK OF THE CLONES 2002 | dir. George Lucas
Padmé AmÃdala deserved a kinder galaxy
I need answers, did Luke and Leia ever cross paths with thier cousins Pooja and Ryoo? Do the twins know about them? I need Star Wars to make a series on Padmè’s family, anything! I’ll take 30 hours of screen time of Padmè interacting with her family, or even Anakin going on secret duties with her to her lakehouse on Naboo. 🥹
Watching the clone wars episode where gungans think they’re invading naboo but their leader was just under the influence of magic and it makes me want to seriously redesign the gungans like… this is all clearly based off of ideas of voodoo and obeah that none of y’all thought to research and this is just affront no 162926362 to the gungans and the caribbean islander cultures lucasfilms stole from. Y’all making them all idiotic and talk funny for the hehe haha giggles and their main representative in the senate is an actual bumbling fool and every other episode plot with gungans is more hehe haha foolish than the last because you genuinely think stealing and warping aspects of jamaican and haitian cultures into awful caracatures of themselves is funny. They should have equal rule in the senate but Jar Jar is considered lower rank and with less power than Padmé. They have a high-class standing army but only seem to use it when it helps the white people naboo. Like based off of what we know about humans, the human naboo colonized naboo and the gungans are the indigenous peoples and they’re literally treated like second class citizens, laughing stocks, and idiots. Y’all think this is a laughing amtter cause i don’t

As much as I like/dislike the concept of Amidala’s handmaidens and decoys, once I found out the queen's term is only two years, it struck me as a bit excessive. Is that really necessary? It’s just two years—if it were four, I wouldn't say a word, but two? It seems like overkill, considering it’s an elected monarchy and the current queen steps down after two years to make way for the next one.
I had always assumed the term was four years; since Amidala served two terms, I thought she’d been in power for eight years—in which case the need for decoys would make sense. But two years? You literally can't get much done on the governmental front in two years; it’s too short a time to effect real change or implement reforms.
It's actually really important to note that Naboo is basically the Star Wars equivalent of a petrostate (plasmastate?). It's a wealthy planet because of its natural resources, but that wealth doesn't come with a whole lot of political sway since basically their only bargaining chip is threatening to withhold plasma. To most people in the galaxy, Naboo would be thought of as a conservative backwater Mid-Rim world that is, at most, a popular tourist destination.
Enter Senator Sheev Palpatine, who, because of his heritage, is assumed by most of the Senate to be essentially a simple country bumpkin, an assumption which he plays into because it diverts attention away from him for the decades he spends manipulating things to his liking before he makes his play for Chancellorship. The important thing to note is that he doesn't just get elected because of sympathy over the Naboo crisis–he gets elected because people assume he's an easy mark. There may be some in the Senate who actually believe he's going to clean up things as promised, but I think there are probably more who assume that he's going to be easier to manipulate than Valorum was.
All of this context leads to a really interesting situation when his protegé and eventual successor in his Senate seat, Padmé Amidala, becomes one of the loudest progressive and anti-militarist voices in the Senate. And starts gaining respect for it. This is the girl who Palpatine "mentored" for years in hopes that she would be naive and easy to manipulate, who is now the biggest thorn in his side who he still has to publicly stand behind because suddenly Naboo is an actual political force now, and as a Nabooian himself that's obviously something he should be extremely proud of. (He is not proud, he just wants the damned girl to kindly die to one of the dozens of assassins he keeps sending after her.)
This dynamic is so funny and I adore that Padmé probably singlehandedly causes Old Sheevy more headaches than the entire Jedi Order.
