Queen Julia of Bardotta addresses the Galactic Senate via hologram to request assistance . Chancellor Palpatine offers to send Senators Bail Organa and Padmé Amidala to Bardotta to aid them in the crisis , but the queen is adamant that there is only one person in the Republic she will meet with . Palpatine informs the Jedi High Council of the queen ' s request , and of her specific request of Republic envoy – Gungan Representative Jar Jar Binks . Several of the Dagoyan Masters – Bardottan mystics with a strong but passive connection to the Force – have disappeared in mysterious circumstances . The Chancellor wonders why the Bardottans did not want the Jedi involved in the investigation , and Yoda explains that the Dagoyans saw the Jedi ' s induction of Force - sensitive Bardottan children into their order as kidnapping . Despite the queen ' s request that Binks travel to Bardotta alone , Mace Windu sees that as unwise and volunteers to accompany the Gungan . When Windu and Binks arrive on Bardotta , neither their guard escort nor the queen are pleased about the presence of a Jedi , so Binks tells them that Windu is his servant . Windu is sent to the antechamber , while the queen tells Jar Jar about a prophecy which appears to be transpiring : if the Dagoyan Masters are not returned , a great darkness will fall upon their planet . The queen empties the room so she can speak to Jar Jar alone – she asks him to meditate with her , and kisses him . Mace Windu is concerned that Binks has been alone with the queen for a long time , but her guards refuse to admit him to her meditation chamber , and admonish him when his Jedi mind trick fails to work on them . Windu uses a more conventional subterfuge to slip past the guards , and bursts into the queen ' s chamber to her horror . Binks shows him out and Windu tells him his relationship with the queen is jeopardizing the mission , giving the Gungan a comlink to contact him if he finds out anything . Binks re - enters the queen ' s chambers , but Windu and the guards follow him when they hear him screaming and wailing that the queen has disappeared . The Dagoyans convene the Bahk - tov Council , where High Seneschal Peteen informs them that according to the prohpecy , if the queen is not found in three rotations , she will be gone forever and an era of darkness will rise throughout the galaxy . Council member Savatte tells them that the prophecy originated from the Frangawl Cult , whose shrine to the demon Malmourral was underneath the Dagoyan temple . Savatte leads Windu and Binks through the catacombs underneath the temple , but Binks wanders off and finds a piece of Julia ' s headdress . As he stands up , a masked figure blows a glowing blue powder into his face , and Jar Jar begins to turn invisible . Windu sends Savatte back to the surface to report to the council , and pursues the Gungan alone . The cult members place Jar Jar in a cage suspended above a lava pit , and he becomes visible again . The caged Dagoyans tell him they are to be sacrificed to the demon . Binks contacts Windu with his comlink , and the Jedi uses it to track his location , however the Gungan drops the communicator when his cage is moved and it is destroyed by the Frangawl Leader . Jar Jar sees Julia , who tells him that the cult members are stealing the Force from within the Dagoyans . The leader places one of the Dagoyans in a trance , and pushes him down a ramp to a stone edifice where his Force energy is drained into a glowing sphere . Windu senses the disturbance in the Force , and finds the temple as the cult is about to sacrifice Jar Jar . As they fight off the cult members , the leader escapes with the queen and they leave the planet in a starship . As the council bemoans the consequences of the prophecy , Jar Jar promises them he will rescue the queen with the help of his Jedi friend . Behind the scenes . The Bardottan throne room is based on the crystal skeleton chamber from " Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull " .
