a harsh upbringing on tatooine would make him easier to manipulate to the darkside...
and it wasn't a trillion to one chance, given that tatooine was the nearest planet to naboo that was good for hiding on... combined with the fact that in SW people always seem to land on planets they have never been to exactly where they need to...
like luke on the planet in the dagobah system.
R2D2 and C3P0 on tatooine.
etc.
The difference between Naboo and your other examples is that Luke was going to Dagobah. He was instructed by Ben to go there. As far as R2D2 and 3PO, that was sort of a coincidence. Mabye thier ship was giong to pick up Ben, but I think that they were passing by that system, and the pilots headed that way because Leia knew Ben was there, and wanted to get the droids to him.
Edit: Anyone else think Plagus is a stupid name? Why not call him Darth Virus, or Darth Common Cold, or Darth Infection?
GL tries to make these names as scary sounding as possible, when all he needs to do is make something that sounds menacing, not something that is menacing. For example: Sauron, Melkor, barend...
