- "Surviving information from the Naboo Planetary Tourist Bureau highlight the fact that Dee'ja Peak had a notable theatre and was a major center for the arts at the time of Palpatine's youth."
- ―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire
The Naboo Planetary Tourist Bureau was a tourist bureau based on the Mid Rim planet Naboo. It created a file on the Naboo[1] farming community[2] Dee'ja Peak and its notable theatre, describing the community as a center for the arts during the period in which Naboo native Sheev Palpatine was growing up on the world following his birth[1] in 84 BBY.[3]
This file was stored in the "Tourism" section of the Naboo Planetary Archives and used as a citation by the historian Beaumont Kin in[1] his[4] book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1] in 35 ABY.[5] Kin also mentioned the bureau in the book and extrapolated from the Dee'ja Peak file that Palpatine may have spent time in the community due to his love of opera and ballet in later life.[1]
Behind the scenes
The Naboo Planetary Tourist Bureau was mentioned in the 2024 reference book Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, which was written by Dr. Chris Kempshall.[1]

- ↑ Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire states that thirty years have passed since the end of the Galactic Civil War and months have passed since the Battle of Exegol. As Star Wars: Timelines dates the end of the war to 5 ABY and the Battle of Exegol to 35 ABY, the in-universe The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire must have been published in 35 ABY.
