People give the sequels a bad rep, but the Phantom menace has a lot more plot holes than all 3 sequels combined.
Like queen Amidala, who hired Jedi to break her through a blockade in order to participate in a senate meeting, only to want to return immediately afterwards because “her people need her”.
And that in a world where holographic meetings are the norm.
The blockade was jamming communication. The reason she wanted to return was that the republic refused to help, which was the whole reason she traveled Coruscant in the first place. She had to get back to Naboo in person to make an alliance with the Gungans.
