A new report raises the possibility Star Wars is finally heading back to Padmé Amidala's homeworld Naboo - will this link the trilogies together?
New Star Wars filming details have hinted at the potential return of Naboo, the homeworld of Padmé Amidala - and Palpatine. When George Lucas decided to return to the Star Wars franchise in the late '90s, his prequel trilogy introduced a wealth of new worlds and locations. One of the most beautiful was the planet Naboo, homeworld of Queen Padmé Amidala. Viewers soon learned Naboo was a particularly important planet, because it was also strongly tied to Sheev Palpatine.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY According to Making Star Wars, the prequel world - not seen in the original trilogy - may soon be returning. They report sources claiming Lucasfilm is planning a shoot at Hever Castle, Kent. This location was used for filming several Naboo scenes in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, raising the possibility Star Wars is heading back to Naboo .
A return to Naboo would help Andor serve as something of a bridge between the prequels and the original trilogy . Andor serves as a prequel to Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, where its protagonist will give his life to recover the Death Star plans. This means the show already has strong ties to the original trilogy - and a link to the prequels would help strengthen the franchise as a whole.
These reports are far from confirmed, of course; as Making Star Wars note, it is entirely possible Lucasfilm is simply using a familiar location to shoot an entirely new planet. Still, the existing Naboo connections in Andor have already drawn comment; there's been some speculation Luthen's assistant Kleya Marki is actually one of the handmaidens. Only time will tell whether these theories are true.
