Technically, if you ignore the plot, the Trade Federation should have won this battle due to sheer numbers, as the Lucrehulk battleship had the capacity to hold thousands of Vulture droids and bomber types. Vehicle wise, the Battle of Naboo featured then new to the series starships from the Trade Federation including the Lucrehulk-class battleship (the droid control ship), Vulture droid starfighters, and from the Royal Naboo Security Forces, there was the N-1 Starfighter. It felt very reminiscent of the Battle of Yavin (also on this list), but also felt fresh for the time. However, it gave us a great space battle featuring a young Anakin Skywalker fending off hundreds of droid fighters, and then blowing a droid control ship. The Battle of Naboo was mostly CGI, with some practical effects thrown in. Sure, CGI has improved vastly in the past 20 years but The Phantom Menace was the first feature length film to use it on a mass scale, and it bought us the Battle of Naboo. However, The Phantom Menace ushered in CGI to the Star Wars cinematic universe which allowed LucasFilm to use it like it was going out of fashion. When The Phantom Menace came out in theatres in 1999, it was met with mixed opinions, similar to The Force Awakens and the other sequels. So, without further ado, I’m about to tell you about some of my favourite space battles in the current Star Wars canon lore. This is thanks to a combination of the on-screen visuals, sound effects and music and even the dialogue helps. Space scenes have been my favourite parts about Star Wars as there’s so much to see and take in, with some of the prequel ones giving me actual goosebumps while watching them. Best of all, we get to see the best of these vehicles in epic space battles. More recently, I’ve started getting into Star Wars lore and actually getting to know specs of spaceships like the Imperial Star Destroyer models, various starfighters and other vehicles. Since then, I’ve always enjoyed consuming Star Wars media, mainly from video games and re-watching the films. The first one I saw in the cinema was Attack of The Clones, followed on by Revenge of the Sith. I love Star Wars and have loved it since I was a kid.
