―Beaumont Kin, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire[1]

The Theed Daily News was a news periodical based in the city Theed on the planet Naboo.[1] In 32 BBY,[2] it published an image from the "Liberation Day" Parade that occurred in Theed following the Battle of Naboo. It depicted[1] Governor Sio Bibble[3] holding[1] the Globe of Peace[3] while standing with Senator Sheev Palpatine, Queen Padmé Amidala, the Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, and the astromech droid[1] R2-D2.[3] In 35 ABY,[4] the historian Beaumont Kin used the image in[1] his[5] book The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire and credited the Theed Daily News.[1]
