Unidentified fisherman

"Can you take me up the river?''" "No, I'm sorry. While this is the finest Naboo fishin' rig ever built, today we're grounded." "Why are you moored here?" "Ah, the explosions have scared the fish away. It's a shame." "That's most unfortunate. Why are you still standing here?" "''Well, the river is my home and the droids don't bother me here."

- Kenobi and the fisherman

A red-haired male fisherman lived on the Solleu River, which ran through the capital city of the planet Naboo, Theed. He operated what he considered the "finest Naboo fishing rig ever built." In the year 32 BBY, the Trade Federation Droid Army invaded Theed. Although the battle droids left the fisherman alone, the explosions during the invasion scared the fish away, leaving the man with nothing to do. During the battle of Theed, the Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi was escorting the Queen of Naboo, and Kenobi jumped into the fisherman's boat and held a conversation with him before continuing to the other side of the river.

Behind the scenes
"Isn't there a vast, deadly waterfall at the end of this river?''" "''Now what kind of question is that? Why don't you jump in and find out!"
