"First there is desire, then passion, then suspicion. Jealousy, anger, betrayal...When love is for the highest bidder, there is no trust. Without trust, there is no love. Jealousy, yes jealousy, will drive you mad!" - El Tango de Roxanne, Moulin Rouge!
First there is Desire
Shmi
Shmi Skywalker was born a free woman. She remembered the feel of soft grass upon her the soles of her feet, the smell of freshly baked vegetable turnovers and the excitement of new clothes on her life day celebrations. These were treasured memories from her childhood, now faded into a distant past. Joys she had experienced that her son in his childhood had never known.
It hurt her that her son was a slave - she could not protect him from the harsh realities of life. He had to grow up quickly, see things that young eyes should not witness. No child should face that. But on top of that, he was a special child. He had no father, conceived under mysterious circumstances. He had great gifts. He had big dreams and it was her deep desire that he should fulfil them. He should not suffer a slave's life.
So she let him go. The Jedi Master Qui-Gon offered him a wonderful opportunity, to step into a bigger realm where the possibilities were endless.
Because she knew her son, Anakin Skywalker, had a destiny.
