Duel on Naboo

During the Invasion of Naboo at the palace in the capital Theed, as the royal starfighter pilots made their way into orbit after being freed, the Naboo were confronted by Sith Lord Darth Maul. The Queen’s Jedi protectors, Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi, fought the Sith Lord. Darth Maul was defeated by Kenobi and presumed dead after having killed Jinn during the fight. The battle liberated Naboo from the Federation, led to Kenobi's promotion to Jedi Knight and he convinced the Jedi Council to accept the Chosen One Anakin Skywalker for Jedi training as his apprentice since he gave his fallen mentor his word to train the young boy.
The Duel on Naboo was ultimately part of a much larger plot. The Invasion itself had been orchestrated by Naboo's Senator Sheev Palpatine, who was secretly Maul’s Master Sith Lord Darth Sidious, in a successful effort to be elected Supreme Chancellor. He later engineered the Clone Wars to amass total control over the Galactic Republic so he could transform it into the Galactic Empire and destroy the Jedi Order. During the War, in which Palpatine achieved his goals, Count Dooku remarked that, despite ten years passing between them, the Clone Wars truly began during the Invasion of Naboo.
