Her name was and is still Padme. The subterfuge is to ward off assassination attempts (which we see in Episode II!)You're asking this? About Star Wars? This is the single defining design element across all of Star Wars. It's weird when a Star Wars doesn't have a room like this. See also:[MEDIA=youtube]-_fIenMjvho:172[/MEDIA]I mean, the short answer is yes, because plot. Long answer, Palpatine would have to face the full brunt of the Republic Army AND the Jedi Order, head on, which I don't think he could pull off even with all the droids and all the clones. Instead he gets them all to fight each other, has the clones work with the Jedi so the Jedi will trust them so the clones that quickly murder them with the conditioned Order 66 without the malicious intent the Jedi would otherwise notice, and he gets to claim that he's been the legitimate head of government and successor to the Republic all along. Also, especially in Eps II and III, he's pretty explicitly a stand-in for President [REDACTED] because Lucas's Star Wars has always been deeply political allegory.Long answer: The Gungans are distractions to get the droids out of the city, so Padme and the Jedi can take back the castle. Short answer: Green screen is really expensive.Look, before I saw this movie did I ever want a Star Wars movie to include a Megaman level? Yes, actually, that would rule. And then they did it. And it ruled.Yeah extras don't get the long fancy swordfighting choreography training that actually takes a lot of time and effort and energy. Also some of them are N*Sync, so there's that too.Not even top 10 in the worst, but also best, alien designs in Star Wars.Unpopular opinion but I honestly think it's just as bad as Ep Two</blockquote>
