Power Generator? I'll have to look at that. Its a giant pipe to nowhere that even Mario wouldnt jump in surrounded inexplicably by laser doors!

I didnt see it generating any power!

It was basically a huge Plasma mine and processing center. It was a key part of the Darth Plagueis Darth Sidious manipulations of not only Naboo but the Imperial Senate.


They really laid it out in the Plagueis book.


The whole thing led to Padme being elected Queen, The Trade Federation being manipulated into the blockade. One of the best murders in Star Wars lore by a Sith Lord, the Supreme Chancellor being toppled out of power, and Sidious getting sympathy from the Senate as Palpatine and rising to take over the Galaxy.

What?? That one room destroyed the whole Galaxy??

I think they need to re-examine the robustness of their Political foundations.

"Well some horned bastard fell down that well on Naboo so I guess thats that for Galactic Democracy. It had a good run while it lasted."

It's important to Star Wars canon, because this is the room where The Empire got caught up in the idea that safety railings are unnecessary, and really ran with it. It's a lesson past down throguh the generations to Elon Musk in his philosophy of "the best part is no part".
