Of all the worlds to blockade by the Trade Federation, the choice of the near-remote idyllic Naboo is a strange one. Nonetheless, events to transpire there will be the powder keg to the next thirty-two years of detonated troubles for the Republic of the Prequel Trilogy, as paradise eventually segues its way into the very darkest of evils...
"We've been saturated in designs derived from the original Star Wars for 20 years now, and George (Lucas) wanted something really new. He said, "push the envelope, discover new things. " It was a surprise but really exciting. He said, "I want chrome, sleek shapes, Art Noveau, Art Moderne." That's when I realized that this was going to be something new and not just a rework of the earlier material."
