Author - Anakin Skywalker 2005

Note 11:
Cliegg,

Yes, Anakin can be a handful sometimes, but he has a good disposition…he's bad sometimes, but not very often.

Thank you, but I don't know about his lungs. Something happened to him today that kind of scared me. I'll tell you later in the letter.

I don't think you never understood your father…he is a good man, really. Although your father doesn't like Jedi, because of his own personal experience, it doesn't mean that he wants to go around and kill them. If Anakin were to ever become a Jedi, Lowdun would not hate him. Lowdun would love him because he is his grandchild. Sure, he wouldn't care for Anakin's choice of profession, but that does not mean that he'd kill him. I know he never wanted you or your brother or sister to ever become a Jedi, but he wouldn't have killed you if you had chosen to.

Anakin deserves better than a slaves life….he's far too intelligent….and someday I have no doubt that he will become free…..somehow. Maybe the Republic will get Tatooine back and release all the slaves…..I don't know. If he becomes a Jedi, it will only be for the better.

I'm glad that Owen and Rhun are smart too. Yes, it's better that they not know about Anakin. Do my children miss me? What did you tell them about what happened to me? Let's see…..Anakin is 3 now, which makes Rhun 8 and Owen is 7. Would you send me pictures of them? I'm sure they've changed since the last time I saw them. With this letter I'm sending you pictures of Anakin…all the pictures I have so far. Tell me what you think of him.

Now what's been going on since last year? Well let's see….first of all the Hutt master that you sold me to lost us betting on a podrace. Our new owner is a big blue flying creature named Watto. So far he's a better master than our old one.

Now to tell you what happened today that scared me so much. Okay, I told you how little Anakin likes to get into things…well soon after he learned to walk, he started running and getting into things. I have to chase him down all the time. This is the way he's been for some time, but I don't think he's going to do it as much after what happened today. Anakin was more hyper today than usual….so he ran around more than usual….and I was going after him. He has so much fun doing it…trying to run away from me….but he stopped all of a sudden. When I got up to him he was having problems breathing. It was like he couldn't breathe very easily or something. That really scared me. I'm not sure what's wrong with him, but I'm taking him to the Maurder medical person right now. I'll let you know what happened next year. Hopefully it's nothing bad.

So how is business going back at the farm?

Well I have to go because the medical person just finished examining Anakin and wants to talk to me.

Bye until next year,
Shmi
