- "Can you take me up the river?"
"No, I'm sorry. While this is the finest Naboo fishin' rig ever built, today we're grounded."
"Why are you moored here?"
"Ah, the explosions have scared the fish away. It's a shame."
"That's most unfortunate. Why are you still standing here?"
"Well, the river is my home and the droids don't bother me here." - ―Kenobi and the fisherman
A Human male fisherman ran a boat the Solleu River, in the city of Theed on Naboo. During the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY, he met Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, who held a conversation with the fisherman before continuing his mission. The fisherman was later killed.
Biography
Edit
During the reign of Queen Padmé Amidala, a red-haired Human male fisherman considered the Solleu River to be his home. The river ran through the capital city of the planet Naboo, Theed. He operated what he called the "finest Naboo fishing rig ever built."[2] In the year 32 BBY,[1] the Trade Federation's droid army invaded Theed. Although the battle droids left the fisherman alone, the explosions during the invasion scared the fish away, leaving the man with nothing to do. During the battle, the Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, while escorting the Queen of Naboo during her escape from the planet, attempted to cross the river in order the reach a set of bridge controls. He jumped into the fisherman's boat to cross the river and held a short conversation with him before continuing.[2]
By the time Queen Amidala returned to Naboo and fought to recapture Theed, the fisherman's boat had been sunk, and his body was seen in a nearby house.[2]
Behind the scenesEdit
- "Isn't there a vast, deadly waterfall at the end of this river?"
