Hi everyone. There's some great ideas here.

I really like your crawl bingowings.

Over the years, I did some rewrites and created a backstory to the entire thing.

Basically what I did was establish that Naboo is one of the most ancient houses in all the Republic. It's an ancient world with a past shrouded in legend. That's what those shrunken and half-buried heads symbolise.

I also established that the Sith once ruled in that part of the galaxy and are coveting the energy in the Naboo core. That's what that energy ball is that Boss Nass holds up at the end: the energy.

You could switch that over to the Neimoidians and have that as the real reason they want to invade. That was revealed later in my rewrites. The Sith used the Neimoidians as cover to get to naboo and the energy.

Later in Ep. 2 we , and Kenobi, would be told by the Kaminoans that the Naboo supplied them with their energy source to fuel the clone factories.

That tied my storyline together between ep 1 and 2.

So the whole invasion in ep. 1 was said by the Neimoidians to be because, and this is something I added back in that Lucas took out, a splinter group on the Naboo council requested they intervene because the Queen's failed leadership has led to chaos and starvation for her people.

Basically, the Neimoidian invasion was fairly benign; yet, the jedi sense something more afoot. hence, Qui-Gon's line: "There is something more to all this."

Bibble scoffs because he knows that's not the case.

And the treaty legalising the invasion wasnt that in my rewrite but a paper whereby the Queen would abdicate her throne and turn the rule over to the Naboo council.

Bibble is later found to be the turncoat.

It basically gave him a more important role in the story. Bibble becomes the Nemoidian puppet.
