I Was Not Elected to Watch My People Suffer and Die...

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 01:28:43

There are a few species in this shot that are tough to figure out. In the top left corner, we've got a character in spacesuit it looks like. (I made some short video clips to help identify who/what they may be)

In the bottom left, we've got a pod of Quarren but they don't appear to be Senator Tikkes' delegation from Mon Cala. They're all wearing maroon/grey robes. Quarren Isolation League? Some other Quarren colony world?

Next to the Quarren, we've got a delegation of Aleena. I count at least 9 in the pod.

Above the Aleena, there's a delegation of Ishi Tib. Senator Gume Saam appears in Episode II so this could be him, or his predecessor, or representatives of another Ishi Tib colony.

To the upper right of the Ishi Tib, we have what appears to be Aqualish, but wearing lighter colored clothing than Po Nudo and his aides (who we see in a later scene).

Below the Aqualish, there are what appear to be Rodians. I first thought maybe these were Roonans like Edcel Bar Gane, but for a second you can see some bumps on their heads that look like antennae, so my guess is Rodians (but a separate delegation from Onaconda Farr's).

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace - Deleted Scene: Complete Podrace Grid Sequence 02:15

The only instrument I’m not 100% sure on is the “speetamor” found on pg 101 of the Visual Encyclopedia. It’s found with several of the other instruments that appear in this shot.

Hard to tell in the screenshot above, but in addition to the five Bith, the band also includes a Quarren playing the floonorp, a Nikto playing the kettlebox blower bell, a Pacithhip playing the podport bandfill, a Nikto playing the stompsqueezer, and an Ishi Tib playing a sort of keyboard.

Also, the podport bandfill's name derives from the bandfill instrument played by Nalan Cheel of the Modal Nodes in A New Hope (as well as presumably being made of Podracer parts).

In the canceled Reflections Gold expansion to Decipher's Star Wars CCG, the Ishi Tib in the bottom left would have been named Drem Redins and the Klatooinian to their right would have been named Griff Mirtong. (Let's hope someday these two aliens can receive their names!)

The podrace spectator in the bottom right corner here was featured in a close up on the 10/23/00 edition of Episode I Snapshot.

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 01:28:43 (continued)

To the right of these hooded aliens, there appears to be a lone senator in a pod but they're very hard to make out. They look like they *could* be the "Bib Fortuna" senator seen in a few promo shots with Orn Free Taa.

Here are a few photos of this senator for comparison. Bib Fortuna, as seen on Tatooine, was played by Matthew Wood, whereas this Twi'lek senator was played by Alan Ruscoe (who also portrayed Plo Koon and Daultay Dofine).

Above the unknown senator in the bottom right corner is a delegation of Pacithhip. I don't know that we've ever had any named Pacithhip senators in canon or legends?

There are some odd effects appearing here, seems to be instances where the background extras were superimposed over each other. The Bith's head fades into the Rodian behind, and the Ishi Tib in front of them blends into the two extras on either side. Easier to see in motion.

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 01:08:47

There are several unnamed extras who have appeared in previous shots in this scene including the man who sat with Sebulba at Akim's Munch when Anakin saved Jar Jar (bottom left next to Rum Sleg).

The woman in the yellow suit who has appeared in several different spots in crowd scenes (in the row in front of and to the left of the Veknoid).

This man with his face painted black and white (one row up and to the right of Rum Sleg) has appeared in several other scenes (center beside the Rodian at 01:02:22).

Also there are MANY "copied and pasted" extras in this scene (and all the crowd scenes). Rango Tel raising his arms up is the most noticeable.

The woman in the yellow jumpsuit to the right of the unnnamed Nikto in the middle row has appeared a few times before, with different people around her. She first appeared just before the start of the Podrace wearing a hat with side flaps (00:58:14). It also appear that she has some gold face paint (it's also possible this is just another similar looking actor in similar attire...)

She also appeared here (01:02:22), on the far left (near a Pacithhip) alongside different extras.

STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 01:05:23 - 01:05:27

It appears this scene may be out of order as well, since the leaderboard behind Fode and Beed changes to show Anakin moving into second place after Mars Guo’s crash on the Desert Plain, which happened before Teemto Pagalies’ crash.
