There are some conflicting sources regarding the planet Behpour though. In Legends, it was not listed in the WOTC RPG supplement, Secrets of Naboo, nor the Essential Atlas, which both included planet lists for the Naboo system.

It first appeared in Legends in the 2009 video game Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes, released 2 months after the Essential Atlas. In-game cutscenes seem to imply that Behpour is in the Naboo system, as well as it being the first orbiting planet in the system.

The Prima Game strategy guide for Republic Heroes states that "Senator Amidala disappears after she discovers a Separatist base hidden within the system". This clearly states it's in the Naboo system. However, I'm not sure if the Prima guides count as official sources even for Legends.

According to Wookieepedia, Behpour is mentioned in the Star Tours ride at Disney parks. I don't recall ever seeing it on a screen, or heard its name in the queue, but I've only been there 3 times and didn't get to pay as close enough attention as I wanted to each time I was there.

I tried to find the source for Behpour being mentioned somewhere in Star Tours: The Adventure Continues, and could only find that it was added to the Wook on 1/8/2012 by Tronning098 without any attribution to a source. I'm not saying they're wrong - I just can't find anything right now to confirm.

Now those were all Legends appearances and mentions, Behpour has appeared in Canon, but its relation to the Naboo system isn't spelled out. It's in the Chommell sector as a representative, Olan Carrus, attends Queen Amidala's sector summit in E.K. Johnston's Queen's Peril novel from 2020.

Although, the text does state that most of the primary governments of the sector declined her invitation, so it's possible Behpour is one of the "several thousand settled dependencies" which could mean it's a dependency in the Naboo system.

Back to Legends, Behpour wasn't included in the Essential Atlas (it appeared after it came out so that makes sense) but also wasn't in the Appendix released on StarWars.com in 2015, which leads me to think it was intended to be in the Naboo system.

Anyway, that's all to say I'm not sure if Naboo should have 5 or 6 total planets. In Canon, we haven't gotten a system list yet, but Behpour has been mentioned, so it could be a neighboring planet - or a neighboring system.

If anyone has anything to add to the Star Tours part, I'd love to see it!

UPDATE: Jason Fry, author of the Essential Atlas, replied to me on Bluesky and said:

Here's a little behind the scenes fun fact about my account. I chose this shot right here as the "template" to crop out the letterboxing of each screenshot. I needed a nice bright shot with clear separation between the bars (hard to see the edges on a space scene for instance.)

Two thumbnails in Adobe Photoshop showing the template I use to crop out the black letterboxing bars on the left (the white space above and below is empty on its layer and helps me to crop perfectly), and a screenshot from the film with the letterboxing.

So that means since starting Episode II posts in April, I've seen Lama Su's face 1,062 times (that's how many shots I've posted for Attack of the Clones so far). 😵‍💫

Episode I had 2,314 posts… I’m only a little under 1/3 way through Episode II, so I think it will definitely surpass that.
