Meet the Naberries

Posted By Britany on March 8, 2003

The official site has a 2-page feature on Padme's family, which was cut from the theatricial release but included on the DVD. They talk to the actors who played Padme's sister, Sola Naberrie (Claudia Karvan), and Padme's father, Ruwee Naberrie (Graeme Blundell). Here's an excerpt:

Both actors shot the bulk of their scenes at Fox Studios Australia, where a stage was transformed into the quaint home of the Naberries. The scenes were completed in a day, and Karvan admits that she wandered to other stages that were transformed into a distant galaxy. "I visited the set where Susie Porter worked: the diner," she says. "It all looked pretty exciting. It's strange because there's bluescreen out the window, so it all really comes to life in post-production. I also had a look at the nightclub, which was great because one of my favorite scenes in the original Star Wars was when they go into that bar."

"We were all very nervous about what was required. I think," admits Blundell, recalling the first day of shooting. "George told us to treat it like a family party, and your daughter's come back. He gave us very simple and clear instructions, which just relaxed everybody and meant that the actors could play around with what they had to do, which I thought was fantastic."

"I was really impressed, considering how much he must have on his plate," says Karvan of Lucas. "I was impressed by how much time he had to give and how approachable he was and friendly and relaxed. He didn't seem like this kind of distracted, mad professor or anything. He was really in control, and calm, and lovely."

Blundell's involvement in Episode II lasted longer than Karvan's, as a very brief scene of him walking with Anakin outside the Naberrie family house necessitated a trip overseas. "I went to Lake Como, Italy, just for one scene that was cut, and I filled in for an actor, Oliver Ford Davies, who didn't arrive, who was in Tokyo doing a play. So, I stood in for him vocally, going to Caserta, and having a fantastic time. George said to me at the ending of shooting the last scenes at Caserta, 'was that worth an around-the-world ticket'?"
