    EDIT: nevermind my silliness.

    ahem, naboo should be forgotten. the death star's first victim should stay alderaan. dagobah should exist right now as :eek: dagobah!

    Naboo will not be destroyed by the death star, simply because of one line in ANH.

    Tarkin: I have chosen to test this station's destructive power on your home planet of Alderaan.

    What I think will happen, is Naboo will be taken over by the empire, and GL will put a shot into the ultimate edition of ROTJ of people celebrating on Naboo.

    Naboo will become Dagobah.

    Among several shared characteristics of the
    "two" systems, there one even bigger reason
    why this will happen.

    GL had no reason to create a new planet.
    Padme could have just as well come from
    Alderaan (where Leia later evolves from)
    but he doesn't do that. Instead, GL is going
    to show a most destructive side to the sith
    and the beginings of the Empire by showing
    how this beautiful planet we (as well as
    Anakin) have all come to love will become
    the exact opposite of beautiful.

    There's also something more behind Luke's
    lines in ESB "...it's like something out of a dream" and "...there's something familiar
    about this place."

    Naboo will most likely stay Naboo and be just another Imperial stronghold. If you destroy it with a superweapon or prototype deathstar, it takes away from the impact that is made in ANH when Tarkin destroys Alderaan.

    In regards to the Naboo = Dagobah idea that has floated around here for a while:

    I don't think that it would be possible, even for a space "fantasy" that does not concern itself with scientific plot holes, to have another planet "destroyed" and "reformed" into another, livable planet over the course of only 20 years.

    Any force strong enough to "destroy" Naboo (either physically blowing it apart - then it would have to 'coalesce' back into Dagobah, as I have seen some people suggest - or just wiping out life on the sirface via a strong laser, fire, nuclear-style weapons, etc.) would take care of the job for much longer than a single human generation. All the swamp life on Dagobah could not evolve from Naboo life in such a short time.

    I know that Lucas does not usually concern himself with such matters, but this would be a little too far-fetched even for Star Wars, in my opinion.

    Naboo is also the birthplace of Palpatine.
    So i believe that he could destroy it to hide secrets of his past or make someone ( the separatist ? ) destroy it to legitimate his " clone wars" and the fundation of the empire ?

    I hope this works so here goes. Click the link to go to a long running discusion we've had on this subject. It's a long one but it's a good one.Is Naboo more familiar then we think

    (Shameless plug. :) ) My personal thoughts that I turned for the most part into a thesis are at the top of page 7. It's long but it's how I think it could very well turn out. (End of shameless plug. :) )

    Read and enjoy then join the debate. We're always looking for fresh opinions on this.

    Well I don't see why they would be the same planet since they're listed as sperate ones on the planetary map in the SW Insider CD rom.. That aside I doubt that they're the same planet. So it's fimilar to Luke.. big deal. Maybe he has to hide out there w/Yoda or something OR he saw it in a dream. (Like father like son)

    How do we know Palpatine was born on Naboo? It is his home planet, which does not necessarily mean he was born there. However, I don't think Naboo will become Dagobah. Or Dantooine for that matter. I think that it will become just an Empire stronghold and fade out of importance.

    why must there be any more destruction of planets.

    that is already covered in the OT.
    why make another movie's focus be the death star?
    and why make naboo dissappear?

    it is so unnecessary to the plot, and if you read all the "ask the jedi council" archives on TOS, you will see them debunk many silly theories like this one.

    naboo will fall out of favor just like yavin does in ep V an VI.
    at least that is what i think.

    and another thing - it adds to the whole timing of the new hope being set into motion because the empire is going way too far after the destruction of alderaan and must be stopped!

    So naturally Naboo, Coruscant, Kamino, Geonosis, Yavin, and Hoth were destroyed, as well?

    I think that Naboo is used for all the raw materials for the Death Stars, stripping it of all resources and leaving a shell of a planet that they later make into Tatooine because Tatooine was destroyed. You see, Vader decided to test the Death Star laser prototype on Tatooine because of all the bad memories, but then he missed his mother so they recreated it out of what was left of the burnt out Naboo. Then Geonosis crashes into Kamino and creates Dagobah. No, wait, Kamino FREEZES and becomes HOTH and in 20 years the Wampas and Tauntauns evolve to match the new climate!

    As you can tell, I don't think any of the Planet X = Planet Y theories hold water (or ice!)

    Ok, I know that last comment was a joke, or atleast hope you were joking. But anyways I really like the idea of Kamino freezing and becoming Hoth, thats really cool, I still stan don my belief that perhaps Naboo gets deserted after a war and becomes Dagobah....

    The offical site says that the Death Star's first target was Despayre.

    If GL stays true to EU, then Tarkin should be in Ep III tp present his intentions for the Death Star, since we already saw the holographic model of it in ATOC.

    Not by Death Star, but maybe by "a whole fleet of Imperial Ships" that have the equivalent power of the future Death Star.

    But I too think that Naboo will be NaBOOM.

    I doubt that the fate of Naboo will be seen in the film (too much for GL). Once Ep. III is done, the fate of Naboo will be in the hands of the EU writers.

    The link to the Official Site's databank entry on the Death Star above points towards the EU section, and Lucas doesn't have to follow anything that is EU.

    Naboo doesn't have to get blown up or disappear. So far, we haven't seen Hoth in the prequels, yet I think it's safe to assume that it exists. Also, we don't see Geonosis or Kamino in the Original Trilogy, but I think it's safe to assume that they still exist. The reason Naboo isn't in the OT is because it had no reason to be in there.
