Amidala's Beach

Edit

"See that island? We used to swim there every day. I love the water."
―Padmé Amidala, to Anakin Skywalker[3]

Amidala's Beach was a private[2] beach island located in Naboo's Lake Country,[4] located in close proximity to Varykino, the ancestral home owned by House Naberrie.[1]

History[]

AmidalasPrivateBeachIsland

The small island served as Amidala's private beach.

Padmé Amidala stayed there with Anakin Skywalker before the start of the Clone Wars when her life was being threatened by a bounty hunter, who was hired by Nute Gunray to kill her. According to Padmé, when she was in Level Three, she and her fellow classmates frequently swam to the island during school retreat,[1] where an elderly jeweler crafted beautiful vases and necklaces out of glass.[5] This was where Padmé had made plans to raise her child, although she died in childbirth, giving birth to Luke and Leia Skywalker.[6]

In 1 ABY,[7] some spacers visited the location.[4]

Behind the scenes[]

Amidala's Beach was a location in the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[4] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[8] When the player visited the beach, they were awarded with an exploration badge for the area.[2]

  7. ↑ The opening crawl of Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided dates the game to after the events of Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, and additionally, Serji-X Arrogantus, who died in Star Wars (1977) 10—the events of which The New Essential Chronology dates to 0 ABY—appears in the game. Therefore, at least a portion of Star Wars Galaxies must be set in that year. Furthermore, in the game Ruwan Tokai references the destruction of the Death Star as having occurred one year earlier, and Strongholds of Resistance also places the events of Galaxies' Chapter 9: "The Fury of Exar Kun" in 1 ABY. Lastly, while Chapter 11: "The Battle of Echo Base" features the Battle of Hoth—dated to 3 ABY by The New Essential Chronology—the developers have stated that the portrayal of that battle in the game is intentionally anachronistic. Therefore, the events of Star Wars Galaxies must span from 0 ABY to around 1 ABY.
