Moteé/Legends

When Episode III: Revenge of the Sith was released, handmaiden fans were hoping we would gain more knowledge about the newest handmaiden and latest Queen of Naboo. Unfortunately, their roles were minimized and their scenes deleted. In earlier drafts of the script, the handmaidens were to have a more active role in the film. Accompanying Padmé to Mustafar, Moteé and Ellé were to be killed on the landing platform. However, those plans were changed less than a week before filming began. Additionally, handmaidens can be spotted walking alongside Padmé's casket during the Naboo Funeral, though the scene does go by rather quickly. Ever hopeful, we await the release of the DVD to gather new information about Moteé, Ellé, and Queen Apailana of Naboo. In the meantime, please visit our Episode III Gallery for pictures from the film and behind the scenes.
