Naboo Queen (restaurant)

Situated within the sprawling Galactic City of Coruscant, the Naboo Embassy acquired the penthouse suite of the Senate Apartment Complex during the Separatist Crisis for the use of Senator and former queen Padmé Amidala.

Following the attempt on Amidala's life upon her arrival on Coruscant for the vote regarding the Military Creation Act, the Jedi High Council assigned Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Padawan, Anakin Skywalker, to protect the Senator. Upon reaching her apartment, Kenobi and Skywalker encountered their long-time friend, along with Representative Jar Jar Binks, Captain Gregar Typho from the Royal Naboo Security Forces, and Amidala's Handmaiden, Dormé, to discuss the impending danger.

After Amidala had retired to her bedroom, the Jedi conducted a search of the apartment to better understand its layout and identify potential entry points for an assassin. While Kenobi was occupied with inspecting the rest of the complex, Skywalker collaborated with Amidala to devise their own strategy. As Amidala settled into bed, she instructed her astromech droid, R2-D2, to disable all security cameras within her sleeping chamber. Skywalker would then stand guard outside, relying on the Force to sense any intruder before swiftly intervening to defeat the assassin. With their plan set, the cameras were deactivated as Master Kenobi returned to the apartment. Upset that his apprentice had used the woman as bait for a potential killer, Kenobi argued that they should immediately enter the room and reactivate the cameras. However, as they debated, an ASN-121 assassin droid breached the permaglass window of the sleeping quarters and released two lethal kouhuns into the room. Sensing the threat before they could poison the sleeping Senator, Skywalker rushed in and bisected the insects with his lightsaber. As the assassin droid began its escape, Kenobi leaped through the window and grabbed onto the droid, which ultimately led him to the assassin, Zam Wesell.

With the assassination attempt thwarted, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine ordered Amidala to return to Naboo with Skywalker as her Jedi protector. Meeting the Senator in her bedroom, Skywalker escorted the disgruntled woman to the spaceport where they would travel in disguise as refugees back to Naboo.

Following the outbreak of the Clone Wars, Amidala returned to her apartment to address the conflict with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. On the evening of her return from Geonosis, Knight Kenobi arrived at her apartment early in the morning, sent by Grand Master Yoda. Kenobi insisted that Amidala end her secret affair with his Padawan, emphasizing the danger of interfering in Jedi affairs. Amidala promised to comply, although she had no intention of doing so. Agreeing to return to Naboo under Skywalker's protection, Amidala and the Jedi were secretly married on her home planet.

Throughout the war, Amidala would monitor Skywalker's whereabouts whenever he was away, keeping watch from her window, awaiting her lover's return. When he had time, Skywalker would visit his wife at her apartment for their clandestine and passionate encounters. During one such occasion, the pair were about to part ways when an explosion interrupted their moment. Recognizing their respective responsibilities as Jedi and Senator, they separated and hurried to assist the Republic.

Early in the conflict, fellow Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan requested a meeting with Amidala early one morning. Quickly preparing herself, she met the visibly shaken Organa on her veranda's landing platform, ready to hear the information he had received. Disturbed by the mention of the Sith, a secret adversary of the Jedi Order unknown to most of the galaxy, including Senator Organa, Amidala contacted the Jedi Temple and asked Jedi Kenobi to come and hear Organa's news. Learning of a threat from a group known as the Friends of the Republic, Organa detailed a plot against the Order originating from a group of Sith on Zigoola, a planet located deep within Wild Space. To gather more information, Kenobi shed some light on the Sith, confirming their existence and their threat to all sentient beings. Returning to inform the High Council of the information Organa had shared, Kenobi departed the apartment for the distant Temple. Organa, in need of rest and with numerous tasks remaining, also left, hoping that he had not betrayed the trust of his informants. After Kenobi and Organa left for Zigoola, Grand Master Yoda woke Amidala early one morning. The ancient Master asked if she would accompany a group of clone troopers to the Sith world and retrieve his wayward Jedi and Organa, because sending a Jedi would be too dangerous. Agreeing to the job, Amidala prepared to leave immediately.

Shortly after the Zigoola incident, Skywalker planned to surprise his wife by dropping onto her balcony from a parapet two stories above. Quietly entering through the transparisteel doors, Skywalker found Amidala indulging in a beauty mask and a holozine. After the Jedi caused her to break the mask, Amidala agreed to not reapply it and spend the evening with him. While enjoying a cup of caf, Amidala prompted Skywalker to consider the worst-case scenario if the Council were to discover their marriage. Having never considered it, Skywalker only became more unapologetic as he thought about Council member Ki-Adi-Mundi's own family and the hypocrisy of the Council for allowing him to marry out of expedience for the birthrate on Cerea.

Staying at the apartment for several days, Skywalker was alerted one evening to the diverting of the Leveler to the Fath system. Unable to remain idle while his men faced a dangerous situation, Skywalker quickly packed his belongings and departed for the Outer Rim Territories.

Briefly back from the Outer Rim, Skywalker attempted to have dinner with his wife, only for both of them to receive a summons from the High Council to address a situation involving Senator Rush Clovis and his connections to the Trade Federation. Upon her return, Organa of Alderaan visited her again one morning with a report on the top-secret Mission to Lanteeb. Reassuring her that Skywalker and Kenobi were safe, although he wasn't sure himself, Organa left her to her duties on behalf of Queen Jamillia.

Following the battle over Coruscant, Amidala was relieved to see Skywalker recalled from the Outer Rim Sieges once more. Returning to her apartment, the pair spent the night together, falling asleep side by side. In the middle of the early morning, Skywalker woke abruptly after experiencing a Force vision in his sleep. Joining him on her veranda, Amidala listened silently as Skywalker explained that she would die in childbirth, if his vision came to pass. Vowing to prevent that from happening, they returned to bed.

Returning home after a long day at the Senate, Amidala praised her waiting husband for his appointment to the Council, though he was bitter over what he saw as just political maneuvering. Changing the subject, Amidala questioned the way the Supreme Chancellor was directing the war, fearing that it was going in the wrong direction. Accusing her of sounding like a Separatist, Skywalker stormed out to meet with his close friend Chancellor Palpatine. Not long after, Master Kenobi arrived on Amidala's doorstep to request an informal meeting. Again, three years after a similar meeting, Kenobi pleaded with Amidala to give up on a relationship with the Jedi, though this meeting was less tense than the one following Geonosis. Promising to do the right thing, Amidala saw the Jedi out as he headed for a special Council meeting regarding the location of General Grievous.

Calling a meeting at her apartment in reaction to the Sector Governance Decree, Amidala met with fellow Senators Organa, Mon Mothma of the Bormea sector, Bana Breemu of the Humbarine sector, Giddean Danu of Kuat, Fang Zar of the Sern sector, and Chi Eekway Papanoida of Wroona. The debate sparked tensions in the group as Eekway said her constituents were ready to force the Chancellor to return his emergency powers to the Senate at the end of the war. Amidala suggested seeking Jedi backing, to which Danu agreed, yet the other Senators, Breemu in particular, strongly rejected. Agreeing to wait on involving the Jedi, the Senators agreed to submit the Petition of 2000 to the Office of the Supreme Chancellor and base future action on his reaction.

While she was away at the Senate, Skywalker broke into the apartment following an unsettling meeting with the Supreme Chancellor, looking for clues concerning the rumors the Chancellor had heard about Skywalker's wife and his former Master being involved in a secret tryst. Sensing the lingering energies of Kenobi's presence, Skywalker interrogated Amidala as she arrived. Eventually realizing the rumors were false and how ridiculous he was being, Skywalker calmed down and left the apartment. After the meeting with the Supreme Chancellor, Amidala returned to her apartment to retire for the evening.

She was awakened by C-3PO as the droid notified her that the Jedi Temple was in flames. Spending the pre-dawn hours watching and sobbing, she rushed to her veranda as Skywalker parked his green interceptor at the docking area and leapt out to comfort his wife. As Skywalker explained how the Jedi had attempted a rebellion, C-3PO talked in hushed tones with the Jedi droid R2-D2, who had accompanied Skywalker from the Temple. They watched as the two Humans discussed recent events and the disbanding of the Order. Amidala voiced her shock as Skywalker told her to avoid her friend in the Senate, as they were under suspicion and she would be in the clear if she kept out of trouble. Numbly, Amidala agreed to wait for his return, as her husband swept out to deal with the Separatist Council on Mustafar. Leaving the apartment for the Senate, Amidala returned as a Senator of the Galactic Empire.

At home again, Amidala was visited by fugitive Obi-Wan Kenobi, landing his DC0052 speeder on the veranda landing platform. Amidala greeted her old acquaintance as he revealed that Palpatine was indeed the hidden Sith they had been searching for. Shocked and disbelieving, Amidala swooned when the Jedi revealed that Skywalker was behind the slaughter of younglings at the Temple. Kenobi sensed that she was indeed pregnant and that Skywalker was the father. Departing without an answer as to where his former apprentice was, the Jedi Master planned to follow Amidala as she left the planet to warn her husband that he was in danger. Contacting Captain Typho, Amidala unknowingly left her apartment for the last time, flying off to her death on the Outer Rim.

Following Amidala's passing, her possessions were removed from the apartment, although it remained in use for the next century. After surviving the Yuuzhan Vong War, the apartment suite was converted into a high-end restaurant known as the Naboo Queen. As of 137 ABY, the restaurant hosted guests, including Moff Nyna Calixte, her daughter Gunn Yage, and her former lover, Admiral Rulf Yage. They engaged in a typical family argument before Calixte departed without paying the bill.

The Naboo Embassy furnished the entire penthouse suite of an ancient skyscraper on Coruscant to meet the requirements of the Senator, Padmé Amidala, during the Clone Wars. Consisting of several rooms, the chambers were accessible via an exterior turbolift that deposited guests in a small lobby. The lobby flowed into a spacious, low-ceilinged sitting room, the main chamber, which featured a series of yellow-cream-colored sofas and chairs designed to foster peaceful discussion. The ceiling and walls of the chamber had a ribbed design, arching over the room to allow natural light to enter through the floor-to-ceiling clari-crystalline windows and expansive skylights.

On either side of the sitting room, transparisteel doors could retract to provide access to the small open-air balconies overlooking the Senate District. Small tables were adorned with carefully selected art from across the galaxy, including items from Amidala's home planet, Naboo. Two hallways leading out of the sitting room provided access to the Senator's private chambers. One antechamber led to the bedchamber that Amidala used after late nights at the Senate. Featuring a large window on one side, the chamber was notably less fortified than those of most Senators of her importance; a mattress sat in the center of the room, while a low table was positioned directly in front of it. A Tarka-Null original was displayed on a small podium in one corner of the room. Opposite the window was a closet, which contained a staircase leading to the veranda.

The lightly furnished veranda, a large pillared area, was accessible via two staircases on either side of a central hallway that extended further into the apartment. The room, equipped with a sitting area with two sofas and a bubbling fountain, was illuminated at night by disk-shaped lamps and a small illuminator. A wish globe was placed in a corner, while several hanging orbs and vases decorated the darker areas of the room. At the entrance to the veranda was a small docking area for personal airspeeders. Flanked by two bronzium statues of Shiraya, the moon goddess of Naboo, the veranda's entrance was constantly protected by a particle and energy shield which prevented attacks or accidental falls over the railing-less area. The space between the simple white columns was filled with the plain white drapes that stretched from floor to ceiling.

Jay Shuster designed the room for Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, drawing inspiration from the work of Frank Lloyd Wright to create the sitting and conversation area where Amidala, Anakin Skywalker, and Obi-Wan Kenobi discussed her safety during Zam Wesell's assassination attempt. The apartment was constructed as a fully explorable set, used in Episode II and later in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.

The apartment was expanded for Episode III with the addition of the veranda, the setting for a scene originally intended to take place on Naboo. Erik Tiemens developed the art for the love scene, initially designing a zen garden for the senator. Ultimately, after drawing inspiration from Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, orientalists, Pre-Raphaelite painters, and Gerome, the veranda set was approved by Rick McCallum, and Gavin Bocquet created the blueprints.
