Why are the Naboo making clones in the first place?
Is it just an arms race thing where they feel they need to have them because the Federation have battle droids?
Have they been hit by some disease making natural child birth particularly dangerous to them?
Are they running a Brantisvogan escort agency?
Just for the sake of being able to do so. Let's be honest, when some scientists decide to do something, they do it for the sake of discovery....
With the Naboo, they may have had honorable intentions... But the government usually doesn't. It's not a stretch in the least that they would take possession.
Kinda like project: Genesis in Star Trek 2. They found they could create life, so they did it.... And then someone else decided to use it as a weapon... Exactly what would be happening here. Like Ming says, it gives this weak movie an actual plot.
