Hasbro made the electronic Naboo Royal Starship toy for Star Wars: Episode I merchandise.
The Naboo Royal Starship was Queen Padmé Amidala’s sleek transport in The Phantom Menace. Hasbro’s toy version used electronic features to enhance play and presentation, reflecting the technology-focused merchandising campaign surrounding the 1999 film.
The product belongs to Hasbro’s post-acquisition Star Wars range. Hasbro had acquired Kenner’s parent company earlier, so collectors sometimes describe late-1990s products as Kenner items because they continued familiar packaging styles and design traditions. The manufacturer for this Episode I-era toy line, however, was Hasbro.
The ship’s polished silver appearance distinguished it from the military starfighters and bulky transports common in earlier Star Wars toy assortments.
