A crucial aspect of making any movie is locating the perfect shooting spot. Nowadays, many films employ Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) to refine or even fabricate a scene’s setting to ensure everything appears flawless. Given the significance of these details, it’s no wonder that when an ideal filming location is discovered, it often gets utilized in numerous movies.
To prove that point, an account on Instagram recently pointed out that the Royal Palace of Caserta in Italy was used for two big movies 25 years apart, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace and the much more recent hit Conclave. Not only did they use the same building, but nearly identical shots of the same staircase, check it out.

It’s unlikely for many viewers to spot this, but only if they happen to watch these two films back-to-back. Remarkably, the palace on Naboo and the Vatican in the movies share the same cinematic setting.
It’s no wonder that Star Wars enthusiasts are enjoying themselves, given that they’ve noticed the Pope’s election occurred on Naboo. Remarks range from…
- So they filmed Conclave on Naboo?? – ivandaandrey
- Which planet though – mgm_patrick
- It was nice of Italy to keep the set for such a long time – sean_tilley
- I destroyed so many battle droids on those stairs…. – seamus_malloy
- Okay, now imagine a show about a young Palpatine climbing the political ladder on Naboo while he’s secretly a Sith apprentice, and its filmed in these same locations. – seanandersonmedia
- That means the Pope and Star Wars are in the same Universe!! – miquelbarsbarba
Indeed, just like numerous filming spots that get reused, the Royal Palace of Caserta has made an appearance in various films, although not necessarily this specific staircase. You might recognize it from movies such as “Mission: Impossible III”, “Angels & Demons”, and the latest Netflix series featuring Jeff Goldblum, titled “Kaos”.
It’s worth taking a closer look: Many popular TV shows and films are shot in familiar spots. You might be surprised to find that places like Universal Backlot have numerous adaptable sets, but even in the real world, locations get reused often. Filmmakers can construct a set for a palace, or they can simply use an existing one.
Without a doubt, when you spot connections such as this one, it becomes almost unavoidable not to continue seeing them. You may find yourself unable to watch the movie “Conclave” without imagining it taking place on Naboo. However, now I’m envisioning Ralph Fiennes as a member of the Jedi council during the High Republic era, appearing in ten episodes on Disney+. I have a clear idea where they could film these scenes.
