The quick background story of the Padmé and Shmi Notes-

Qui-Gon has just informed Anakin and Shmi about the bet with Watto, and that Anakin is now free.

Shmi knows that Anakin and Padmé have formed a friendship, and asks Padmé to look after her son.

And the story begins...

Note 1:
Padmé,

You seem like a very nice girl. I'm glad my son brought you and your friends here. I hope that everything turns out all right for you. Anakin will be leaving with Qui-Gon, so can I ask that you keep an eye on him for me? He's only 9 years old…and he's going to need all the strength he can get from other people. Can I get you to promise me that you will make sure that nothing bad happens to him on his trip to the Jedi Council? Please…he is my favorite son, and I love him dearly.

Shmi
