Note 13
Queen Amidala,
You are on your way to Coruscant? Then I assume you and the Jedi are off of the planet Naboo?!. I am glad you passed the blockade. I can only imagine how hard it must have been. So you got passed the blockade. That is wonderful. You must tell me in your next letter where are on this planet Tatooine. Well I am familiar with the planet well enough to know that there are several major spaceports there. One is called Mos Espa and another is called Mos Eisely. There is also a place called Anchorhead. Do any of these places sound familiar to you? Perhaps you could ask the people that you are with? This would be VERY helpful information to me.
Oh, so you have landed on Tatooine? Thank you for that information…it will prove very helpful. Your hyperdrive has been damaged beyond repair? That would make it hard to make it to Coruscant, wouldn't it? This sure puts Naboo in a bad situation….I'm sure many other Senators are sympathetic to our situation.
You are with the Jedi Master? Very good. You said the Jedi Master had a friend named Jar-Jar? Who is this Jar-Jar?
That boy certainly does sound strange…um…how old is he? "Are you an angel?" sounds like a very weird question for a boy to be asking a girl.
Be sure to update me on your progress. Tatooine is a dangerous place, and you might end up dead. Watch your step. If you do not respond to this letter I'll know that you're dead. I hope that does not happen. (cough). You must make it back to Coruscant safely.
So what part of Tatooine are you from? Maybe I could send someone to help you…
What is Qui-Gon's plan right now?
This little slave boy that you met…tell me more about him. It might provide information to your location, and I am concerned about you. I want you to be safe. Spending time with slaves may not be the safest thing for you. About freeing slaves, we can look into the matter later. Right now, your situation is of first importance.
Please fix your ship as fast as you can so that you may discuss this with the Senate.
Yes, well …..I do hope you get here alive.
And about our correspondence…yes, do alert me when you reach Coruscant, but I would like to keep correspondence with you so that I am up to date about your circumstances. Please keep in constant contact with me.
Senator Palpatine
