Primeiro, Valorum não estava enviando nenhuma ajuda, ele só estava enviando pessoas para verificar se ela estava dizendo a verdade.
VALORUM: Will you defer your motion
to allow a commission
to explore the validity
of your accusations?
Palpatine a convencera de que Vallorum era incapaz de agir de maneira oportuna para ajudá-los, dizendo que a burocracia e a corrupção limitavam a capacidade de agir de forma eficaz e rápida.
PALPATINE: There is no civility,
only politics.
The Republic
is not what it once was.
The senate is full of greedy,
squabbling delegates.
There is no interest
in the common good.
I must be frank, Your Majesty.
There is little chance the senate
will act on the invasion
AMIDALA: Chancellor Valorum
seems to think there is hope.
PALPATINE: If I may say so, Your Majesty...
the chancellor
has little real power.
He is mired by baseless
accusations of corruption.
- The bureaucrats are in charge now.
AMIDALA: What options have we?
PALPATINE: Our best choice would be
to push for the election...
of a stronger
supreme chancellor...
one who could control
the bureaucrats...
and give us justice.
You could call for a vote of
no confdence in Chancellor Valorum.
AMIDALA: He has been
our strongest supporter.
PALPATINE: Our only other choice would be
to submit a plea to the courts.
AMIDALA: The courts take even longer
to decide things than the senate.
Our people are dying, Senator.
We must do something quickly
to stop the Federation.
Então, quando ela viu Valorum só iria mandar pessoas para verificar se houvesse um problema, ao invés de tomar uma ação real para ajudar Naboo
PALPATINE: now they will elect a new chancellor, a strong chancellor. One that will not let our tragedy to continue.
Como se constata, tudo isso fazia parte do seu plano para
become chancellor and rule the galaxy.
