Note: It seems like my edit at 20:51, 30 May 2005 got merged with another edit the same day due to a DB error or something. I just changed the last papagraph regarding the origin on Gunray's name. - 65.37.44.159 (talk · contribs)

[edit] What was the official reason given for the Trade federations wanting Naboo?

What was the official reason given for the Trade federations wanting Naboo?

- As far as I know, they blockaded it in protest of Republic taxation on trade routes. They stood to lose a great deal of power and money if the tax law went through, or something along those lines.

[edit] How gay is the guy who wrote the costume section

No really, like Bruce Villanch where you're sort of witty and gay or are you more of a Liberace-3PO?

who died and made you wiki-asshole?

[edit] Connection to Ronald Reagan & Newt Gingrich

A passage should be added describing the origin of the name "Nute Gunray". It is highly likely that the choice of the name is meant to be a political statement by George Lucas critical of Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich.

Consider that if you switch the syllables, "Gunray" is almost phoenetically identical to "Reagan".

And "Nute" is phoenetically identical to "Newt". (Please note that the movie was produced while Newt Gingrich was the Speaker of the House. By the time the movie was released, Dennis Hastert was the Speaker.)

An editor with a good knowledge of Star Wars and 1990s politics should add an appropriate passage.
