A lot of people argue that kids love Jar Jar, and that he was therefore a great
success; I say of course kids were amused by Jar Jar; kids are always amused by
slapstick and bathroom humor.

The Trade Federation knew full well that Amidala had escaped, and that she would
undoubtedly be trying to win support from a contingent that would help her
liberate the planet. As such, the Trade Federation should have maintained a
defensive posture around the planet until the political threats to the
occupation of the planet could be ascertained. (It doesn't matter that Sidious
assured the Federation that Darth Maul would soon find her; they shouldn't have
taken that chance.) Anyway, all this is moot; the fact is that Lucas made the
fleet disappear out of convenience for the good guys.
