Indeed. And why would he even attempt to escape? He wouldn't have had the slightest inkling there was a problem. He was utterly confident of success and the indestructibility of the control ship.

And even if it wasn't guarded, with no fighters to protect him after the DCS was destroyed he still could not escape.
There were only two important battles- the ground battle, which distracted the TF army so the Naboo pilots could get to their ships, and the space battle that finished the Federation's invasion.
The sabre battle was important in its OWN way, but not vital to the battle and so could have been conducted seperately.
Amidala's kidnap attack is certainly the most expendable.

They wouldn't have know where he was. You are aware that the battle was very far from the palace, right?
Were the Gungans going to jump into hyperspace to capture the Viceroy before he just walked out of the building. No one was near the palace except, Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon and Padme's 10 or so guys.

Helmet, the hangar would still have been occupied by the Naboo forces! They needed to capture it to get their ships! The Viceroy could NOT have gotten to his ship, and even if he could he could NOT have escaped!

The reason whe they were at the hangar was because they went to capture the Viceroy and the rest went into the space battle. There weren't any just hanging out, not to mention they would have been killed had they just waited around.
To compare them to soldiers:
They were basicly like mall security guards compared to Green Beret's

But that just brings us full circle. In my opinion, the soliders there moving on to capture the Viceroy was a waste of time both plot-wise and filmmaking wise. They should have captured the hangar to get the ships and just left it there.

Yeah in the news here in Tennessee not too long ago a three year old kid picked up his dad's (who was a cop) gun and was playing cops and robbers. He 'acted' like he was shooting at his dad and accidentally pulled the trigger and killed his father instantly.

That way Nute could just have left from a different exit. You do know how big that place is, right?
