Ian Lago

Ian Lago was the son of King Veruna's Prime Counselor, Kun Lago, on Naboo. Ian sometimes worked as a page at the palace. At the end of the corrupt King's reign, he purportedly fell in love with the then-Princess of Theed, Padmé Amidala, when he sees her for the first time on the main plaza in the capital city of Theed. During his brief relationship with Amidala, his father secretly found out about their relationship and even witnessed them kissing. Ian also never told Amidala of his father's position in Veruna's court, but she later found out on her own accord. Ian's father forbade him from ever seeing Amidala again, and threatened to disown Ian if he did not comply with his father's wishes. When Amidala was elected Queen of Naboo, he declared his love to her; but she ended their relationship to devote her time to the people of Naboo. Heartbroken, he departed from Naboo and never saw Amidala again.

Amidala...I must speak with you.

Ian, you never told me that your father was King Veruna's Counselor.

Does it make anything different?

''This must be a hard time for your family. You should be with them.''

''I want to be with you. I love you!''

''And I love you, Ian. I will always remember our time together.

''What? No! Amidala, listen to me..! I will make it clearly, I love you! Do not abandon me! You do not need to go through this alone! Do not reject me!''

''I made my choice years ago, Ian, when I left my village. My life is dedicated to the people of Naboo. It is the least I owe them.''
