How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.
Quote #1
Hoping to resolve the matter with a blockade of deadly battleships, the greedy Trade Federation has stopped all shipping to the small planet of Naboo.
We don't know much about Viceroy Gunray. We don't know the specifics of his problem with the trade tax or what Lord Sidious promised him that made him think, "Yeah, the guy talks like a demon must be on the up-and-up." All we know we get from the opening crawl: He's greedy. This drives him to make some ultra-poor decisions.
Quote #2
QUI-GON: Battle droids.
OBI-WAN: It's an invasion army.
QUI-GON: This is an odd play for the Trade Federation. We've got to warn the Naboo and contact Chancellor Valorum. Let's split up. Stow aboard separate ships and meet down on the planet.
This battle isn't Qui-Gon's fight, so his decision to warn the Naboo is altruistic of him. We imagine he could have easily stolen a ship and saved his own butt. Although if he's going down with the invasion army, how much forewarning can he possibly give the Naboo? A minute? Two, tops?
Quote #3
BOSS NASS: Wesa no like da Naboo. Tkk-tkk-tkk-tkk-tkk-tkk-tkk. Da Naboo tink day so smarty. Day tink day brains so big.
OBI-WAN: Once those droids take control of the surface, they will take control of you.
BOSS NASS: Mesa no tink so. Day not know of uss-en.
OBI-WAN: You and the Naboo form a symbiont circle. What happens to one of you will affect the other. You must understand this.
BOSS NASS: Wesa no carrre-nn about da Naboo.
Boss Nass only considers the needs of his own people, neglecting the Naboo due to his distrust. While not as greedy as Sidious or Gunray, Boss Nass lacks the compassion of characters like Obi-Wan, and he'll pay for it when the droid army is finished occupying the Naboo.
