Kaliida Shoals Medical Center (Republic Haven-class medical station) in 1.03 Shadow of Malevolence. The Republic also has med-stations in orbit around Ord Cestus (2.08) and Felucia (2.17).

I wanted to pay homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey and the space station that exists today. If you look at the medical base top down, it's actually the Republic symbol.

The idea for the way ships dock at the base came from watching whales in the water swimming up and taking breaths. It looked really and I thought Jedi cruisers floating up into the base like that would be awesome.

Naboo Star Yacht

This slim, needle-nosed star yacht is part of the fleet belonging to the Royal House of Naboo. One was lent to Padme Amidala when she accompanied Anakin Skyalker to Tatooine, and has remained on loan to her for use on Senate business, and for the occasional quick trip back to her beloved homeworld.

Naboo tradition reserves the chromium plating of this star yacht for the Royal House, and Padme gave up her crown years ago. However, an exception has been made otu of gratitude for her service to Naboo.

Design-wise, Luminara was interesting because the live-action costume is made up of many layers of draped cloth. And that would be, just a very difficult thing to pull off, because cloth is one of those very render-intensive things. So the designer Thang Le had to come up with a way to keep the feel of the Luminara outfit but make it much simpler: cut down the layers of cloth and figure out a way to keep the shape very simple and graphic, which he did by stripping down the top section to just a shawl, a headdress and a skirt with a tabard in front.
