Padme Amidala, a former senator was a senator for the republic, but five months ago that Changed to the Empire, her former husband had become Darth Vader and Padme faked her death so she could escape and hid out on Tatooine for the rest of her life. what she didn't know until recently was, the ship she was on was being tracked by the empire, and the ship crashed on Geonosis, the same planet her execution was planned on 3 years ago. Another thing she didn't know were two dangers nearby, some of Jabba's best men, and some reactivated B-1 battle droids, who already spotted her. she saw as two droids approached her, with weapons. She had no weapons on her and was defenseless, except for the battle moves she learned. She had been wounded from the crash and simply couldn't fight, but just as the droids aimed Jabba's men aimed and destroyed the two droids. You see, these men wanted money, and knew their master, who sent them out here to capture droids and use for his palace, would love a beautiful new slave, and were willing to decieve her to do this too. Aftter she told them where she was going, they took the chance and said they had a ship and could take her to Tatooine. as she got on board she thought," nothing bad should happen with these kind men, willing to take me to Tatooine"., but she did not know where the men would take her. The ship had lifted off the ground and headed for Jabba's palace on Tatooine.
