Note 1:
To my wife Jobal,

Have you heard all the reports about the Trade Federation Invasion on Naboo. I hope our daughter handles things well. I’m sure she will. Do you think we should tell her who she is soon? I mean she IS 14 now. I think it’s safe enough. What do you think?

Ruwee

Note 2:
Ruwee,

I don't think we should tell her. I know she is a queen, but she's still our daughter, and we must protect her from any harm that might come if we tell her. I hope you agree.

Jobal
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 3:
Jobal,

You are right. We should wait until after this Trade Federation Invasion is over. I hope she handles it well. We have not heard from the Maurders since the kidnapping of Sola, so I think it would be safe to tell her after the invasion. What do you think?

Ruwee
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 4:
Ruwee,

I think we should just wait and see what happens after the invasion. If all goes well, than I suppose we can tell her, and if something happens along the way, I think we should wait till that's done with. Agree?

Jobal
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 5:
Jobal,

Then wait until after the invasion we shall. Yes, it all depends on what happens along the way. I will contact you if I hear anything about the Invasion….any news of our daughter.

Your husband,
Ruwee

Note 6:
Ruwee,

Thank you for agreeing with me, and please keep me up to date with the invasion. I want to know how our daughter is handling it, because she's so young, and was just elected. I hope she knows what she's doing.

Jobal

Note 7:
Jobal,

I have heard that the Trade Federation has INVADED Naboo and is taking over the capital city, Theed.

I hope our daughter is all right.

I don’t have any word on how she is handling it…..but I hope she does not bow to the Trade Federation’s wishes, and that she stands strong.

I hope she knows what she’s doing too.

Your husband,
Ruwee

Note 8:
Ruwee,

Amidala has always been a strongheaded, stubborn young lady, so I do not think she will let anyone that invades her planet, 'boss her around' as she would put it.

I believe she knows what she is doing, and she does have a lot of help from many senators that are helping her.

No matter how she is dealing with this, I can't help but worry for her. Time when war is all that can end this matter is never a good time. I hope she makes the right choices.

Jobal
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 9:
Jobal,

Yes…if everything that we have heard about her is true…..then she is a very strong headed young lady, but she IS our daughter, and you know what happened to our other daughter….she’s the only one of our natural line still left. She’s the only one that will be able to carry on my family’s bloodline. Nothing can happen to her.

We have never talked to our daughter, and she knows nothing about us. I’m sure she has heard of us, but I would like to do something in support of her. Do you think we could send her some anonymous letters?

I have not heard anything new yet, but I hope we hear something soon.

I hope she makes the right choices too.

Until I hear any more…or maybe you’ll hear something….if you do, let me know.

Your husband,
Ruwee

Note 10:
Ruwee,

I suppose writing letters to her wouldn't hurt, but we don't want to tell her too much until finish this invasion thing is over, don't you agree? I believe she already has too much on her mind to think about us and her sister. I think it would be better to tell her afterwards.

I wonder what she's like. I've heard many things, and I would like to meet her someday. I wonder which side of the family she gets her strong-headedness, and leadership from.

Sorry, I haven't heard anything, but I will tell you if I find anything out, before you do.

Please, keep me up to date with any information that comes your way.


Jobal

Note 11:
Jobal,

No, I’ve decided against writing her until the Naboo Invasion is over. She would think it was too weird if the King and Queen of the planet of Coruscant were to write her.

I don’t think we should ever tell her about her sister. It would bring back too sad memories. I don’t think she really needs to know about her sister. Do you? But if you really think it would be necessary, we COULD tell her.

I wonder what she is like too. I heard that she might be coming to Coruscant to address the Senate. Maybe we can hear her speak. Would you like me to try to get us in? I would like to talk with her and meet her someday as well. I believe that she has inherited her strong-headedness and leadership from both sides of the family. Didn’t your family have some kind of political power at one stage?

I just contacted Senator Palpatine from Naboo, and he has informed me that their ship was damaged, but as far as he knows she is safe. She will be a little late in coming to the Senate, but she fully intends on coming. I hope that she can get here quickly.


Your husband,
Ruwee
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 12:
Ruwee,

All right, I agree with you, we will not write to her, but when will we? Are we ever going to?

Yes, it would be nice if you get us in, because who knows, we may be able to speak with her before or after its over. Just tell me what you come up with.

Her ship was damaged? How hardly? Is anyone going to send anyone to help them? Where are they?

Must go.


Jobal
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 13:
Jobal,

Yes, we will write to her eventually…once this business with the Trade Federation is all cleared up. I thought that we had already agreed to that.

Well she has not made it to Coruscant yet. Senator Palpatine just contacted me and told me that they are having trouble coming up with Maurder credits to pay for the parts of the ship that they need. The hyperdrive on the ship was damaged beyond repair, according to Palpatine.

I do not know if help will be sent to them or not. Hopefully…and they are on some planet called Tatooine. I believe that planet is a Maurder planet and that it is very backwater.

As soon as I hear more news I will contact you.


Your husband,
Ruwee
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 14:
Ruwee,

I didn't know we agreed on sending letters to her after everything is cleared up, I thought you said that you didn't think that was wise. Oh well, now we agree. So, we're going to write after this is all over, or do you have another plan in mind?

Oh, I hope that our daughter is able to get to Coruscant soon. I've heard some of Tatooine (not much at all), and it's desert with twin suns. I don't think being stranded on the planet would be very nice. Please tell me if they're sending a rescue team there to get them, or if they get the part they need and are on their way there.

Must go,


Jobal
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 15:
Jobal,

No, I just said I didn’t think it would be wise to send the letters until after this thing with the Trade Federation had cleared up. Yes, it’s good that we agree. Yes, we will write her as soon as all of this is over.

Yes, I hope that our daughter is able to get to Coruscant soon too. From what you’ve said of Tatooine, it does not sound like a very pleasant place. No, being stranded on that planet would NOT be fun.

As far as I know, they are considering sending a rescue team to Tatooine, but I’m not sure if they really will or not. I will let you know if I hear anything further.


Your husband,
Ruwee

Note 16:
Ruwee,

They're planning on sending a rescue team? I'm guessing the team would be made up of Jedi, correct? But don't you think that's a little dangerous?

Yes, please keep me up to date, and tell me as soon as you can when something important happens.


Jobal

Note 17:
First Tim and Sally Note written after AOTC came out. Because I read the book, I found out Padmé’s real parents and sister’s names. I’m going to change their names to what they are supposed to be…pretend they have been using these names all along. Pretend that instead of them being from the Royal family of Coruscant, they are from the Royal family of Naboo. (Because it’s prettier.) However, they don’t rule the planet…the ELECTED Queen does that. Their last name is not Jedi anymore, but it is Amidala.


Jobal,

Yes, they are planning on sending a rescue team. I believe there is are Jedi that are in with the rescue team. I do not know what happened with that yet. I heard that no direct orders have been given as of yet. I know very little about what is going on. Yes, I agree that sending a rescue team to Tatooine would be very dangerous. If a rescue team is sent, the Trade Federation could very easily be aware of where our poor daughter is.

There is another matter, which I know you will be relieved about. I can hardly contain myself. A Republic official happened be traveling across the Maurder planet called Maurder Base and came across a woman who he swore was Padmé, but as it turned out it WASN’T. He said that he had seen Padmé many times and was sure of it…but as it turns out it was our long lost daughter Sola. I could hardly believe the news! We thought she was dead! She is to come home immediately. I can’t wait!

I do worry a great deal about our other daughter. How is Gwydion holding up?

I thought you would be pleased to know that Sola was married…at such a young age…and has a baby son named Caspian. Sola told me that she got pregnant on her honeymoon. Sola’s only 14. I suppose we could adopt her son until she and her husband are ready to take care of him on their own. What do you think?


Your husband,
Ruwee
________________________________________________________________________________
Note 18:
dear Ruwee,

Rescue teams being sent anywhere seem dangerous, with the chaos all around us. I wish it would stop, I close my eyes at nights and dream of millions of people dying because of the federation. I worry for our planet.

Sola is alive…I can’t believe it. That is good news indeed. I am very happy to hear of it. Yes, I think we should adopt her son, I see no reason why not. I wish I could see them both, I probably would cry over of them, but it is wonderful news. I must end this letter quickly. I will explain later.


Much love, Jobal

Note 19:
To my wife Jobal,

I agree with you about the Rescue teams being sent out as dangerous. Clearly the Jedi Council was not thinking, but I suppose the Trade Federation wouldn’t take much notice of a Republic ship going to a desert planet. But before the rescue team reached the planet, they were told to aboard the mission. This was because Qui-Gon is using a young boy to win a race and gain the money they need. It makes no sense to me, but the Jedi Council finally agreed with it, and they must have thought it was too risky to send a rescue team out. As far as I know, this race has not taken place yet.

I too worry for our planet. As soon as our daughter is able to reach Coruscant, matters should clear up. I do hope everything goes well. I cannot imagine the people that are dying. Luckily for us, the Federation Army has not reached our house yet. If action is not taken soon, I am not sure how long we will be safe. We must not give our identities away if we are captured. They may torture us if they find the truth.

I thought so too. I long for the day to see Sola again. She should be arriving soon. All right, I have made arrangements for adopting Caspian. I have not seen him yet, obviously, but I heard he was a very healthy baby, as is evident by our healthy line.

In your last letter you said, “I must end this letter quickly. I will explain later.” What did you mean by that?”



With love from your husband,
Ruwee Amidala
