Bana Breemu was a Senator in the waning days of the Galactic Republic. She served as Senator of the Humbarine sector and was part of the Loyalist Committee and the Delegation of 2000.[1]
Biography
Due to their importance as industrious Core Worlds, the planets in the Humbarine sector became targets of heavy Separatist attacks during the Clone Wars. Worlds that were not sundered, were often infiltrated by Separatist forces, and Senator Breemu soon felt the effects. The Republic deemed her besieged sector a lost cause, and Breemu found her political voice slipping in the Senate.[1] Following the destruction of Humbarine itself, she befriended one of her constituents who had escaped, Barrow Oicunn.[2]
She remained a trusted and valued member of the Republic, and was invited to join the Delegation of 2000 in the final days of the war. While Senators such as Mon Mothma and Bail Organa wanted to force the Supreme Chancellor to give up his wartime emergency powers, Bana advised caution. She also recommended that involving the Jedi in their plans was risky, instead wishing for a diplomatic solution to the problem. Breemu was one of the Senators who presented the Petition of 2000 to Palpatine.[3]
Behind the scenes
Bana Breemu was played by Bai Ling in scenes deleted from the final release of Revenge of the Sith. One such scene, in which she aids in the early formation of the Rebellion, can be found in the Deleted Scenes of the DVD release.
It was long rumored that her scenes were cut from the film after Bai Ling posed for the June 2005 issue of Playboy Magazine. George Lucas denied this, saying that he cut her scene about a year before the magazine hit the market.[source?]
