Note 17:
Cliegg,
Of course I don't want you to beat the children! No, don't abuse them. Perhaps they are past the spanking age now. You could start to take away their privileges when they're bad. I'm sure they're not bad all the time. Teach them lessons.
Watto hasn't made Anakin race yet…but he's talking about it. He's talking about training Anakin about racing…he's only six now! Tomorrow he wants to teach Anakin all about podracing….and if Anakin learns quickly, he could start to race as early as the next podrace! I don't want Anakin to die!
Our master only cares about money. If a slave dies, he doesn't really care. He sees Anakin as a possible podracer, so he wants Anakin to race. I have no control over the matter. We are Watto's slaves, and we must do as he says.
Anakin's been talking to a lot of pilots recently, and he's been hearing great tales of the Jedi Knights, angels, and pilots. He wants to be a Jedi Knight some day….as well as a pilot. He talks about those things all the time. It makes me sad, because I don't know if he'll ever be anything more than a slave, thanks to you.
What else has Anakin done? Oh yes, you know how I said he started building things with tools? Well Watto saw him do it, and now he's making Anakin build things. Anakin loves it….and he's really really good at it. He started building his own podracer…after studying how other pods were made. He thinks he can build a faster and better one. He also started building this droid that he named See-Threepio. He named it C-3PO because that droid makes the third member of our family.
Anakin's really good at getting ideas and designing things. Maybe Watto will get smart and see that Anakin is so good at building things that it wouldn't be worth it to have him die in a podrace.
What else can I say about him? Oh yes, Anakin's a very smart trader. Watto saw this, and asked Anakin to go to the Jawas to bargain for him with junk. Anakin brings back a lot of "junk", and fixes it up…..and the finished product is actually quite valuable.
I love Anakin so much….I don't want anything to ever happen to him. Watto can't let Anakin race. It's too dangerous!
Well I must go, because Anakin wants to ask for my opinion on something.
