Chancellor Palpatine,
Thank you, Chancellor, and yes, our economy is returning back to what it once was. In fact, I think it has actually improved because our remarkable people, as you so accurately put it, have become so self-sufficient.
I cannot express how disappointed I was to learn that the courts sided with the Trade Federation four times. I can't understand how this happened. And because so much time has passed since the attack, I know that there isn't anything else the Senate can do to disable the Trade Federation. However, all we can do is hope that the Federation will take the warning and stay silent from now on.
I'd like to believe that since so much time has passed since the attack that the Trade Federation won't be a threat to Naboo. However, I'm still going to take precautions and ensure that our entire military force is trained so our defense will be much more difficult to break through. Also, your words of assurance have greatly eased my concern and I believe that if Naboo needed your help, you would do everything in your power to give it to us.
It's difficult to believe that Anakin would have changed so much, but on the other hand, I really don't know how Jedi are trained or what it all entails. I know that should we ever cross paths again, I would be shocked at what I saw. It's difficult for me to believe that he would act any differently towards me, given our history; but then again, who knows how much he's changed since the last time I saw him? Thank you for your advice regarding Anakin. I would not have thought of it that way.
