The Padme and Palpatine Letters

by ArwenMUC

When trouble hits Naboo, Palpatine contacts Padme to apparently assess the situation.... throughout the events of TPM through ROTS, Padme and Palpatine continue to correspond.

7. Note 7 Palpatine

Note 7
Queen Amidala,

You say that the Jedi met with you? But how can that be? I have heard talk that no one had heard from the Jedi. Or was this "debriefing" session you were referring to before they left for the negotiations? Did you mean that you met with them via a transmission?

Have you seen the Jedi actually on the planet?

Ah, so it would appear as if the "briefing session" did take place before they went into negotiations. But you have not heard from them since. Surely you should have by now. Something must have happened to them.

I see that the Trade Federation has cut down communication on Naboo….because while I was talking to you, the connection went dead. This is not a good sign. Surely they have launched an invasion of some kind.

Let me know if they have invaded the city. I hope not. Things are getting pretty tight here in the Senate.

I hope the Jedi are dead…..but we must consider it…..because I have not heard anything that would cause me to believe otherwise.

You must tell me what's going on. You must let me know if the Jedi are dead or alive.

Senator Palpatine
