Handmaiden Gown
Information about the Costume |
| The simple gowns of the Handmaidens off set the majesty of the Queen's appearance. Removing he white facepaint is a key element in the success of Amidala's disguise as Padme. People are so accustomed to the Queen's formal royal appearance that they do not give ordinary-looking Padme a second glance. |

INT. THEED - PALACE THRONE ROOM - DAY
QUEEN AMIDALA, SIO BIBBLE, and FIVE OF HER HANDMAIDENS (EIRTAE, YANE, PADME, RABE, SACHE) are surrounded by TWENTY DROIDS. CAPTAIN PANAKA and FOUR NABOO GUARDS are also held at gunpoint. NUTE and RUNE stand in the middle of the room. BIBBLE : ...how will you explain this invasion to the Senate? NUTE : The Naboo and the Federation will forge a treaty that will legitimize our occupation here. I've been assured it will be ratified by the Senate. AMIDALA (Sabe) : I will not co-operate. NUTE : Now, now, your Highness. You are not going to like what we have in store for your people. In time, their suffering will persuade you to see our point of view. Commander. (OOM-9 steps forward) Process them. OOM-9 : Yes, sir! (turns to his sergeant) Take them to Camp Four. The SERGEANT marches the GROUP out of the throne room. EXT. PALACE - PLAZA - DAY QUEEN AMIDALA, PADME, EIRTA, YANE, RABE, SACHE, CAPTAIN PANAKA, SIO BIBBLE, and FOUR GUARDS are led out of the palace by ten BATTLE DROIDS. The plaza is filled with tanks and BATTLE DROIDS, which they pass on their way to the detention camp. Unbeknownst to them, QUI-GON, OBI-WAN, and JAR JAR sneak across on a walkway above the plaza and jump from a balcony to begin an attack to rescue the QUEEN. INT. CENTRAL HANGER - HALLWAY – DAY CAPTAIN PANAKA cracks open a side door to the central hanger. QUI-GON looks in over his shoulder. OBI-WAN, JAR JAR, and the rest of the group are behind him. They see several Naboo spacecraft guarded by about FIFTY BATTLE DROIDS. ALARMS can be heard in the distance. CAPT. PANAKA : There are too many of them. QUI-GON : That won't be a problem. (to Amidala) Your Highness, under the circumstances, Isuggest you come to Coruscant with us. AMIDALA (Sabe) : Thank you, Ambassador, but my place is here with my people. QUI-GON : They will kill you if you stay. BIBBLE : They wouldn't dare. CAPT. PANAKA : They need her to sign a treaty to make this invasion of theirs legal. They can't afford to kill her. QUI-GON : The situation here is not what it seems. There is something else behind all this, Your Highness. There is no logic in the Federation's move here. My feelings tell me they will destroy you. BIBBLE : Please, Your Highness, reconsider. Our only hope is for the Senate to side with us... Senator Palpatine will need your help. CAPT. PANAKA : Getting past their blockade is impossible, Your Highness. Any attempt to escape will be dangerous. BIBBLE : Your Highness, I will stay here and do what I can...They will have to retain the Council of Governors in order to maintain control. But you must leave... The QUEEN turns to PADME and EIRTAE. AMIDALA (Sabe): Either choice presents a great risk...to all of us... PADME : We are brave, Your Highness. QUI-GON : If you are to leave, Your Highness, it must be now. AMIDALA (Sabe): Then, I will plead our case before the Senate. (to Bibble) Be careful, Governor. INT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - QUEENS CHAMBERS QUI-GON, OBI-WAN, CAPTAIN PANAKA, and the LITTLE BLUE DROID stand before QUEEN AMIDALA and her THREE HANDMAIDENS, PADME, EIRTAE and RABE. CAPT. PANAKA : ...An extremely well put together little droid. Without a doubt, it saved the ship, as well as our lives. AMIDALA : It is to be commended...what is its number? The LITTLE BLUE DROID lets out a series of bleeps.CAPTAIN PANAKA leans over and scrapes some dirt off of the side of the DROID and read the number: CAPT. PANAKA : R2-D2, Your Highness. AMIDALA : Thank you, Artoo Detoo. You have proven to be very loyal...Padme! PADME bows before the QUEEN. AMIDALA : (Cont'd) Clean this droid up the best you can. It deserves our gratitude...(to Panaka) Continue, Captain. CAPTAIN PANAKA looks nervously to OBI-WAN and QUI-GON. QUI-GON : Yor Highness, we are heading for a remote planet called Tatooine. It is a system far beyond the reach of the Trade Federation. There we will be able to make needed repairs, then travel on to Coruscant. CAPTAIN PANAKA : Your Highness, Tatooine is very dangerous. It's controlled by an alliance of gangs called the Hutts. I do not agree with the Jedi on this. QUI-GON : You must trust my judgement, Your Highness. AMIDALA and PADME exchange looks. PADME moves next to the DROID. INT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - MAIN AREA PADME sits in the Main Area, cleaning R2-D2, the brave little Astra Droid. JAR JAR pops out of an open door. JAR JAR : Hidoe! Both PADME and ARTOO jump and let out a little SCREAM. The Gungan is embarrassed that he frightened them. JAR JAR : (Cont'd) Sorry, nomeanen to scare yousa. PADME : That's all right. JAR JAR : I scovered oily back dare. Needen it? PADME : Thank you. This little guy is quite a mess. JAR JAR hands PADME the oil can. JAR JAR : Mesa Ja Ja Binksss...

(he shrugs)...getten berry berry skeered. ARTOO BEEPS a sympathetic beep. INT. NABOO SPACECRAFT - MAIN AREA The ship is asleep. The lights are dim as PADME walks into the main room. She goes to a monitor and watches the BIBBLE plea recording. JAR JAR is stretched out on the floor, snoring. ARTOO is to one side, cooing as he rests. PADME appears tired. She senses someone watching her and turns around with a start. She sees ANAKIN sitting in the corner, shivering and looking verydejected. She goes over to him. He looks up at her with tears in his eyes. He is holding his arms to keep himself warm. PADME : Are you all right? ANAKIN : It's very cold. PADME gives him her over-jacket. PADME : You're from a warm planet, Annie. Too warm for my taste. Space is cold. ANAKIN : You seem sad. PADME : The Queen is...worried. Her people are suffering...dying. She must convince the Senate to intervene, or...I'm not sure what will happen. ANAKIN : I'm...I'm not sure what's going to happen to me. I dunno if I'll ever see you again.. (he pulls something from his pocket) I made this for you. Sou you'd remember me. I carved it out of a japor snippet... It will bring you good fortune. ANAKIN hands a wooden pendant to PADME. She inspects it, then puts it around her neck. PADME : It's beautiful, but I don't need this to remember you. Many things will change when we reach the capital, Annie. My caring for you will always remain. ANAKIN : I care for you too. Only I...miss... ANAKIN is disturbed about something. Tears are in his eyes. PADME : ...You miss your mother. ANAKIN looks at her, unable to speak. She hugs him. |
