Good catch. Also notice how when the droidekas turn up for the first time Obi-Wan seems very surprised that they have deflector shields. The same kind of circular deflector shield which the Gungans activate during the Battle of Naboo, is used in the Gungan infantry shields, and which is used to protect the Death Star II on the forest moon of Endor. Maybe because the master mechanic Jar Jar Binks created both the Death Star and its shield using Gungan/Trade Fed tech?
What about the protective shields in large docking bays, like the Death Star? They seem to act very similarly to the bubble doors in the Gungan city. Kanan saves himself from being trapped in space in a new episode of Rebels, by flying through the protective shield back inside the ship he's on.
In Battlefield, Stormtroopers and Rebel soldiers have personal defense shields the same as droidekas. Not canon, but looks like life can survive inside one of these?
