I believe the Gungans played an important role from a 'Force' perspective. In
order for Anakin to destroy the control ship, the Force must have been with

So, in my opinion, the Gungans play a key role in allowing anakin to destroy
the control ship.
Use the Force Todd, the answer is clear.

| (...) When DM attacked QGJ on Tatooine, QCJ exhibited a believable sense of urgency as well as a fear for Anakin's life.
