Squid Lake/Legends

Squid Lake was a ballet performed by the Mon Calamari Ballet during the Clone Wars. This experimental aquatic performance was created by a genius Mon Calamari composer. Its opening debut occurred at the Galaxies Opera House the night before Senator Palpatine was elected Supreme Chancellor. Palpatine made his last public appearance with his master at the ballet before he killed him later that night.Darth Plagueis One of the ballet's later performances took place at the Galaxies Opera House shortly after the Battle of Coruscant. It was during this performance that Palpatine told Anakin Skywalker of The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, which the former claimed to be Sith legend.
==Behind the scenes==
Originally, the scene where Palpatine tells Anakin Skywalker about Darth Plagueis in , was supposed to take place in the Chancellor's office. However, George Lucas felt that there were too many scenes in this locale already.The Art of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith Wanting something different for the scene, the director decided to move the locale to a opera house or ballet. Concept artist Ryan Church came up with the idea of a giant anti-gravity water ball and designed the look of the show. The name Squid Lake is a reference to the real-world ballet Swan Lake. The look of the show was partially inspired by the water-themed Cirque du Soleil show O.
