Queen's Decoy

Queen's Decoy was the title used by Royal Handmaidens of Queen of Naboo Padmé Amidala who disguised themselves as the monarch in times of crisis. Sabé of the First Cadre, as well as Dormé and Cordé, served as loyal decoys, and Sabé was even able to fool Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi into thinking she was the real Queen during a tryst aboard the Naboo Royal Starship.

History
"Master Kenobi has been paying me much attention recently. I can only assume you left a good impression on our Jedi protector. You must have given him the royal treatment to convince him he was consorting with the Queen... from a certain point of view."

- Padmé Amidala, to Sabé

Sabé served as the Queen's Decoy as part of the First Cadre of Royal Handmaidens in times of crisis, proving able to pass herself off as the monarch thanks to her beautiful appearance. She fooled Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi into believing she was Amidala herself while they fucked in the Naboo Royal Starship on Tatooine. The astromech droid R2-D2 also found it difficult to tell Amidala, Sabé and her fellow handmaidens apart, having engaged in a tryst with one of the nubile Naboo nymphs but being unable to identify his partner in later years. Although not one of the Queen's Decoys due to her blonde hair, Eirtaé remained just as devoted to her Queen.

After ending her reign as Queen and becoming the Senator of Naboo, Amidala retained loyal decoys such as Dormé and Cordé, both of whom assumed Sabé's responsibilities. Cordé posed as Amidala during the Separatist Crisis, using her near-identical body until her death during an assassination attempt by Zam Wesell.

Behind the scenes
Sabé first appeared as Padmé Amidala's decoy in Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, although Shabby Blue gave the position a formal title in the caption and commentary for SBTPM73 - A Certain Point of View.
