In my idea they are the indigenous people of the planet and originally saw the Neimodians as gods when they arrived on their planet (ergo the statues).
Ive always loved this idea from the moment i heard it, tbh i think ive used it when i was rewriting episode 1 script.
In my concept i had the Naboo attack the Gungans thus had to retreat to underwater cities etc. they steal the Gungan's crystal (like a buddha stolen from a chinese village). This of course happens before the film.
The Neimodians attack and the Gungans see this as a return for the Gods and thus try and wipe Naboo out and the Gungans refuse to help them hense why they decide not to help the jedi. (Kind of nobody can save them from our gods kinda thing not even you Jedi). Later in the film the Gungans realise that this is not their Gods but invaders as Qui Gon had said.
I always loved the idea of technology vs. a religious aspect. Kind of like science and creation arguements. Besides takes it away from that political side of the PT that people hated.
The ideas concerning gungan involvement maybe fine and maybe even decent but for 1 movie only. However, it wouldn't tie into Episode 2 and 3 at all and tech vs nature story line is more ROTJ anyway. Rock throwing ewoks vs blaster totting Imps... So it's been done yeah? =P Also... do we REALLY want to go into an area of monotheistic or polytheistic religion for a SW movie? It's as bad as politics... You know this to be true and besides... The Force is the only fan relatable religion in SW (which GL also screwed up with that bacteria symbiotic garbage), anything further would be confusing fodder for a okay story that maybe good for the EU but not for SW movie. You'd end up explaining more technical things about Neimodian culture and such more than actually telling a real story focused on Anakin in a galaxy that's on the bring of war in 10 short years.
I think I'll work on some kinda of story outline for a cloning angle. Time to unleash my special ability of retconning like no tomorrow while keep continuity... lol I see about keeping as much of TPM as possible with out getting into the realm of "suck". lol
I just disagree of having Gungans in TPM at all. Worse thing GL ever invented and really... I blame his kids actually.
