My point is though, just like cities in the Roman provinces required a constant influx of goods to sustain the existence essentially of a few political families, their servants, retainers and court staff, planets like Naboo obviously have no purpose beyond maintaning a few important political families.... the infrastructure is hilariously simplistic; capturing one palace in one city means you now own the planet, and that whole city seems to run off one bigass power plant right under the palace. What we see in Ep II is essentially a big disney village for Padme to fart around in. Note the sheer size of the estate that is basically her Summer vila (another Roman practice, they'd run out to their country homes every Summer when the city got too stanky). I wouldn't be shocked if, like Victorian England, about a third of Naboo's population were some kind of domestic staff (this includes its entire military). There's probably no significant planet-side agriculture at all because really, why bother? I guess really what I'm saying is Sheev did nothing wrong.

I'm still watching the clone wars and it's funny how many characters they use from Episode III, and not just like anakin or whatever but like the random jedi masters who get killed and cody, the clone who shoots at obi wan it really takes a lot of tension out of the scene when you know that absolutely nothing of consequence will happen to any of the named characters, they've literally had general grievious fight anakin or obi wan half a dozen times thus far for no reason, and conversely the 4-5 times they had some random jedi or soldier show up that wasn't from a movie it's almost guaranteed he'll be dead by the end of that episode having said that i'm starting to enjoy it despite myself, i really am everything i hate about star wars fans

They didn't grow any food on Naboo because Naboo wasn't the one designated Farm Planet. Naboo was pretty hosed up for a star wars planet anyway. They had water areas AND not-water areas on the SAME PLANET.

SCENE: THE EMPEROR'S THRONE ROOM Darth Vader sweeps into the trhone room, and goes on one knee before the Emperor. DARK VADER: I have grave news, my emperor. I can't find LUke Skywalker or w.e. Also I'm gay as poo poo and can't stop sucking secret human being jedi cocks. EMPEROR: This is … grave news indeed, Lard Vader. But all is forgiven, because I'm literally making GBS threads in my big baby poopy diaper r.n. My sphincter is wide like the Death star's exhaust port and poo poo is flowing unstoppered from my rear end like molten magma. DARTH VADER: *breathes heavily*

knee-sabers is the clear winner but poo poo if this thread doesn't give you some ideas that migrainey sith lord is a great seed concept for example imagine a sith lord who succeeded yet failed at some sort of major dark side task, now is sedentary, immortal, angry, and basically eternally hung over, life to this guy is like bright lights and noises, and whoever is unlucky enough to be sent for his help has like a 75% chance of being killed just because you're bugging a guy who's having a really lovely day, forever but then some EU writer dork is going to make it so that like, qui gon jin or some poo poo is why he failed, and is also his less evil half cousin, ruining anything interesting about the concept because it's a small universe after all!!!

Sheev was from Naboo. He was their senator prior to Jar-Jar Binks and Padme. Naboo is super important guys, despite having no exports or military power.
