Sabe is a Light Character (Republic) from Coruscant.
Card Text
While at same site as Amidala, Sabe is power +2 and Amidala is immune to attrition. When at a site, during your deploy phase may place Sabe out of play to deploy Amidala to that site (for free) from your Reserve Deck (reshuffle) or Lost Pile.
Lore
Female chosen as a handmaiden by Panaka due to her resemblance to Amidala. Trained to play the role of the Queen whenever it is considered that Amidala may be at risk.
Joke
The lore's "resemblance to Amidala" matches the casting of Keira Knightley as Sabé, chosen for her close resemblance to Natalie Portman.[1] See Jokes.
Strategy
By Joe Alread, Decipher Game Designer[2]
Got Amidala in your deck? Then there is no reason not to play Sabé while you're at it as well.
Sabé provides two different benefits, depending on whether you have Amidala out on the table or not:
1. Amidala not on the table? Sabé is actually the better character to pull before Amidala herself. Sabé deploys for only two Force and lets you deploy Amidala out of your Reserve Deck or Lost Pile for free, so in a sense you're actually saving Force by using Sabé over a second copy of Amidala!
2. Already have Amidala out? Sabé provides extra power in this situation and also makes the queen immune to attrition. Even if you forfeit Sabé before a battle has concluded, Amidala will keep her immunity for the remainder of that battle. (See in the Glossary.)
Advantageous in either situation above, Sabé is great in any deck that revolves around the ruler of the Naboo.
