Dialog transcript

Yoda
With you the force is strong... young Senator. To see you alive brings warm feeling to my heart.
Padme Amidala
Thank you, Master Yoda. Do you have any idea who was behind the attack?
Mace Windu
Our intelligence points to disgruntled spice miners, on the moons of Naboo.
Padme Amidala
I don't wish to disagree but I think that Count Dooku was behind it.
Mace Windu
You know, M'Lady, Count Dooku was once a Jedi. He wouldn't assassinate anyone, it is not in his character.
Ki-Adi-Mundi
He is a political idealist, not a murderer.
Yoda
In dark times nothing is what it appears to be, but the fact remains Senator, in grave danger you are.
Palpatine
Count Dooku has always avoided any kind of conflict. It appears he has no desire to start a war. Why would he kill you? To what end?
Padme Amidala
I don't know, but everything in my being tells me he was behind it...
Palpatine
Master Jedi, may I suggest that the Senator be placed under the protection of your graces.
Bail Organa
Do you think that is a wise use of manpower during these stressful times?
Padme Amidala
Chancellor, if I may comment, I do not believe the...
Palpatine
..."situation is that serious." No, but I do, Senator.
Padme Amidala
Chancellor, please! I don't want any more guards!
Palpatine
I realise all too well that additional security might be disruptive for you, but perhaps someone you are familiar with... an old friend like... Master Kenobi...
Mace Windu
That's possible. He has just returned from a Border dispute on Ansion.
Palpatine
You must remember him, M'Lady... he watched over you during the blockade conflict.
Padme Amidala
This is not necessary, Chancellor.
Palpatine
Do it for me, M'Lady, please. I will rest easier. We had a big scare today. The thought of losing you is unbearable.
Mace Windu
I will have Obi-Wan report to you immediately, M'Lady.
Yoda
Too little about yourself you worry, Senator, and too much about politics. Be mindful of your danger, Padme. Accept our help.

Summary

	Orn Free Taa was a corpulent male Rutian Twi'lek who served as the senator of Ryloth during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. As the leader of the Rim faction, he was among the most senior members of the Galactic Senate. Indeed, Taa's power within the Senate helped skyrocket both Mas Amedda and Palpatine to power. He also had an unclear relationship with Jabba the Hutt. Read more...
