"Go tell Droid Control to shut down the droid." - ―Yané and Sabé, dealing with a malfunctioning training droid
Yané was a Human female who served as one of the handmaidens of Queen Padmé Amidala of Naboo.
Biography[]
Yané and the other handmaidens were trained in self-defense and marksmanship by Amidala's head of security, Captain Panaka.[3] She was also a musician.[4]
The youngest of all the handmaidens,[5] Yané remained behind with Saché during the Trade Federation Crisis when the Queen, Sabé, Rabé and Eirtaé fled the planet with the help of the Jedi.[2]
Yané was later reunited with Queen Amidala and her fellow handmaidens after the Battle of Naboo, and attended both Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn's funeral and the Celebration Parade.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
Yané was portrayed by Candice Orwell in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace.[2]
Yané was cut from the 2003 video game Star Wars Galaxies, a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game developed by Sony Online Entertainment and published by LucasArts,[6] prior to its closure on December 15, 2011.[7] Yané and four other Queen Amidala's handmaidens — Eirtaé, Rabé, Sabé and Saché — were intended to be introduced in the game with the 2005 "New Game Enhancements." They would have been featured in a quest named "Helping the Handmaidens," included in the Naboo part of the so-called "Legacy Quest," the longest questline in the game.[6]
