- "It is an honor to be here for this momentous occasion. The pride I feel for this planet cannot be put into words. Eight-hundred and forty-seven years ago Naboo joined the Republic. And tonight we celebrate that union."
- ―Sheev Palpatine
The Festival of Light was a Naboo tradition, which celebrated the anniversary of the planet Naboo joining the Galactic Republic.[2]
The eight hundred and forty-seventh Festival of Light was held during the Clone Wars, when a group of bounty hunters hired by Count Dooku attempted to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine.[2]
