Episode I: The Phantom Menace

unused footage: scenes 141 - 150

EXT. NABOO PALACE - COURTYARD PLAZA - DAY The images shown here are a bit of a mystery. No official source published makes mention of a scene with Darth Maul and the Nemoidians outside Theed Palace. But obviously something was planned and filmed. Their most logical scene placement would be just before the assault staged by the Queen and her company. It may be that this scene is associated with an unused plot element in which the Queen and the others make their landing in a Naboo swamp and then program the unoccupied starship (sometimes known as the "Marie Celeste") to land in the palace courtyard as a diversion. Perhaps these images mark the enemies' approach toward the courtyard to investigate. I also suspect that additional CGI battle droids would have accompanied the group. More can be learned from T-Bone's Star Wars Universe. EXT. NABOO SWAMP - UNDERWATER - DAY (FX) JAR JAR swims down into Bubble City. 143 - INT. OTOH GUNGA - CITY SQUARE JAR JAR enters the main square of the bubble city. He stands, stunned, in amazement and fear. He is nervous and shaking. JAR JAR Ello! Where das everybody? The plaza is empty. He notices that many of the buildings are shot up as if there had been a battle of some kind. 149 - INT. THEED - PALACE - THRONE ROOM - DAY NUTE, RUNE, DARTH MAUL, OOM-9, and a hologram of DARTH SIDIOUS walk through the throne room. DARTH SIDIOUS ...she is more foolish than I thought. NUTE We are sending all available troops to meet this army of hers assembling near the swamp. It appears to be made up of primitives. We do not expect much resistance. OOM-9 I am increasing security at all Naboo detention camps. DARTH MAUL I feel there is more to this, My Master. The two Jedi may be using the Queen for their own purposes. DARTH SIDIOUS The Jedi cannot become involved. They can only protect the Queen. Even Qui-Gon Jinn will not break that covenant...This will work to our advantage... NUTE I have your approval to proceed then, My Lord. DARTH SIDIOUS Proceed. Wipe them out...all of them.
