Summary
- Naboo may have a Force vergence, making it a desirable planet for Force-sensitive individuals like Palpatine and potentially inspiring his actions.
- Palpatine may have had a secret base on Naboo, which could explain why it was targeted in Operation: Cinder and his connection to the planet.
- The Force vergence and secret base on Naboo may be located underwater, as evidenced by the presence of other underwater kingdoms and settlements on the planet.
Naboo has long since been an important planet in the Star Wars galaxy as the homeworld of Emperor Palpatine and Padmé Amidala, and a new theory suggests the planet may have a secret that could link it to The Mandalorian season 4. Naboo is one of the most important worlds in Star Wars, introduced in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace as a world besieged by the Trade Federation. Oddly, though, it hasn't been seen since the prequels.
That doesn't mean the story of Naboo is over in Star Wars, though. There are many planets noted for Force vergences, places that are strong in the light or dark sides of the Force; Coruscant, Dathomir, and Ahch-To are some of the most influential. Surprisingly, there's evidence Naboo itself may conceal a Force vergence, and a new Star Wars theory suggests this could lead to the planet's return in The Mandalorian season 4.
