Thanks for this, I needed both points clarified too. Is it actually made explicit in the movie that Palpatine is from Naboo? It’s implied in the dialogue, but I don’t think it’s spelt out. Shame that the Amidala persona thing isn’t in the movie though.
He is the senator from the Chommel Sector, witch include Naboo and a number of other planets. He is from a noble family of Naboo. It is not explicit in the movie although his wardrobe make it pretty clear for the second point.
I personally think leaving this being ambiguous in the movie works in its favor, but it’s cool to know there is actually a point where they switch and I’m going to see if I can spot it next time I watch it.
That is one of the strongest aspect of the movie. Still it is not hard to call when you have watch the movie a lot. Sabe as the queen has two outfits. The other ones are Padmé.
