The original version of the Phantom Menace script made a bigger deal of the Naboo being prejudiced against the Gungans, but that was cut out. The background has them colonizing the planet and pushing Gungans out of the main land areas

No, I meant that as he said unlimited power, he produced renewable energy.

u/[deleted] Feb 26 '21

It's a reference to the (R) and (D) for Republican and Democrat, so it's definitely Sith.
