Important Gungans

Jedi Knights

Boss Nass:
This Gungan is the king of Otoh Gunga. He gives orders in this beautiful underwater city, and he and his faithfuls do not like the Naboo people because "they think they are so much smartier than the Gungans". But later, the Gungans decide that the Naboo are all right after all.

Qui-Gon Jinn:
A powerful Jedi Knight who obeys the Force continuously, is very mindful and accepts all living beings that exsist. He is not a member of the Jedi Council, however. Qui-Gon is sent to Naboo to have negotiations with Viceroy Nute Gunray, but things get carried away and he gets flown to Tatooine with Queen Amidala instead. There he meets a young boy, Anakin Skywalker, and finds that his midichlorian count is much higher than even Yoda's (Jedi Council Member). He believes that the boy should be trained, for he "will bring balance to the Force". Qui-Gon is a mentor to Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Jar Jar Binks:
This Gungan was banned from Otoh Gunga for a time because he is very clumsy. He is not a very smart creature. In Otoh Gunga, Jar Jar "boomed the gasser, and crashed the Boss's Heyblibber". Then he was banished. After being saved two times by Qui-Gon Jinn, Jar Jar becomes good company for the Jedi and his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and even comes in handy at one point in time.

Captain Tarpals:
Capatin Tarpals is a very smart Gungan, yet he is very old. He is the "head" warrior of the Gungans and attends every battle fought.

Obi-Wan Kenobi
A young padawan learner to Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan does not see that there is an importance to all living creatures. He is, however, a very mindful Jedi, much more mindful than Qui-Gon. He senses disturbances in the Force even if they are almost anable to be seen. He does not think that the training of Anakin Skywalker is a wise choice, and believes that the boy is dangerous (he agrees with the Jedi Council). He does become the boy's master under unexpectant circumstances later, though.

Important Nabooians

Queen Amidala:
Queen Amidala is the young queen of Naboo. At 14 years old, Amidala is pressured to sign a treaty that will allow the Trade Federation to take over Naboo. Being loyal and kind to her people, she does not give in to the forces of the Trade Federation. For protection, Amidala uses the alias Padme Naberrie.

Captain Panaka:
A loyal bodyguard to Queen Amidala, Panaka takes time and effort to escort the queen to saftly when needed. He is an expert in his profession and cares for Naboo as well as the queen.

Nute Gunray:
Under the influence of Darth Sidious, Viceroy Nute Gunray is in control of the enire Trade Federation blockade. This character is a Neimoidian and is stationed in the Trade Federation Driod Control Ship.

Yoda:
Yoda is the oldest member of the Jedi Council. He was also a very important character in two films in the original Trilogy. He is one of the most respected of the Jedi, and was well trained. He believes that the training of Anakin Skywalker is a very dangerous and wrong thing to do, even though the rest of the Council decides later that the boy will be trained.

Rune Haako:
This Neimoidian aides Nute Gunray in the Trade Federation blockade. He may sometimes think that the blockade is not a smart idea, but he does, however, demonstrate his political skill wonderfully.

Artoo-Deetoo (R2D2):
This heroic little droid, who was also seen in the original Trilogy, was once an Artoo unit on Queen Amidala's Noobian ship. While the ship's deflector shield broke down during a Trade Federation attack, R2D2 and a few other Artoo units went to fix it. All droids were destroyed, except for little Artoo, who saved the day, yet again!

Mace Windu:
This Jedi is respected by everyone in the Jedi Council and he is a very swift, very deadly warrior with his lightsaber. Perhaps this is so, but he never usually leaves the Jedi Temple or uses his weapon. He is a very wise, very mindful Jedi.
