You visit NABOO from Star Wars – Anakin and Padme! 🪐 Plaza de España #naboo #starwars #seville
Plaza de España was one of the highlights of my trip to Seville also known as The Spanish Steps.
It’s a huge square that had several buildings and monuments constructed in anticipation of the Ibero-American exhibition of 1929.
On your visit, you can explore the many bridges and tiled alcoves that represent the ancient kingdoms and provinces of Spain and their symbolic peace with former colonies.
Star Wars fans will particularly love visiting as it was a filming location of Theed Palace in Naboo where Anakin and Padmé fall in love during Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones.
Naboo is a peaceful kingdom where Anakin Skywalker and Queen Padmé Amidala fall in love and the couple are one of the great romances of the “Skywalker Saga”.
Their relationship is often scrutinised due to the weird age gap and the fact that Anakin secretly married her, breaking the Jedi code.
However, they still remain one of the great Hollywood romances that is revered by fans and are also featured on countless memes today.
According to the behind the scenes interviews on the DVD (gosh I feel so old), the crew were at Plaza de España for two days to film just over a minute of footage for the movie!
