Sabé/Legends

"I will not cooperate!"

- Sabé

Sabé was the most important handmaiden for Queen Amidala of Naboo.

Biography
As with all of the Queen's handmaidens, Sabé served as a disguised decoy in potentially dangerous situations. When disguised as Amidala, Padmé would communicate to Sabé through discreet signals to answer important questions.

Little was actually known of Sabé. She performed her duties as the Queen's decoy extremely well, seeming to fool even those who spend a great deal of time with her. It was unknown, however, if she truly fooled the two Jedi sent to protect Amidala, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

In the Battle of Naboo, Sabé took up her role as decoy yet again, donning the battle clothes of the Queen while Amidala again dressed as a simple handmaiden. It was thanks to this planning that the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, Nute Gunray, was fooled into believing that the young woman in his current possession (who was indeed the true Queen) was a decoy. Through this, Amidala and her guards were able to capture the Viceroy.
