Rabé/Legends

"Who is it?''" "''Anakin Skywalker, to see Padmé, Your Highness."

- Queen Amidala and Rabé

Rabé was a female Human who served as one of Queen Padmé Amidala's handmaidens during the last years of the Galactic Republic.

Biography
Rabé and the other handmaidens were trained in self-defense and marksmanship. Their rigorous training was supervised by Amidala's head of security, Captain Panaka. Rabé excelled with weapons and could also use more subtle forms of persuasion.

During one of the handmaidens' training sessions, Rabé was pursued and constantly shot at by a dysfunctional training droid. Hidden behind a waterfall, she was eventually saved by Amidala who destroyed the droid with a swift kick and helped Rabé get back to safety.

Rabé's primary duty as a handmaiden, other than bodyguard, was to prepare Queen Amidala's elaborate hairstyles. She also had a lot of patience and was often assigned to soothe Amidala's nerves. Rabé was bilingual and was able to speak Sullustese.

In 32 BBY, Rabé, along with her fellow handmaidens Sabé and Eirtaé, accompanied the Queen to Tatooine and then Coruscant during the Invasion of Naboo.

Behind the scenes
Rabé was portrayed by Cristina da Silva in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
