Note 19
Qui-Gon,
I have just learned that my husband tried to buy me back from Watto, but Watto would not sell me, his last slave. Sigh….My other son Rhun has been staying with me, and will continue to stay for two more nights. He was badly burned in an accident, but he will be fine. I have not seen him since he was five years old.
I know that my husband feels guilty about what he has done, and I will try to have a talk with him. Right now he does not even want to see me. I…I told Anakin about his father. I am afraid he is not taking it well, but he has just found out. I decided that he deserved to know. I do not know for how much longer we will be able to stay in contact. I am also concerned about the battle. If something were to happen to Anakin, at least he would die knowing about his father.
Anakin has informed me that he found his way into a cockpit of a ship. Is he out of danger? Will he remain there? That fight sounds so awful!
Anakin also told me that you and Obi-Wan started to fight that creature that you fought on Tatooine, and that this time he has a double lightsaber. Goodness! This can not be good. Please take care of yourself. I cannot stand the thought of that creature getting near Anakin. That creature must be stopped!
Anakin also has told me that he shot several droids with shields, and cleared a path for Padmé and the others to escape safely. However, Anakin said he could not stop the ship! I hope he finds a way before he gets himself into danger.
The Jedi Council better open their eyes soon. Being stuck in the old ways can be dangerous.
Anakin has told me how kind a particular Senator has been to him. It pleases me to hear that the Republic has such kind people working for it. Anakin has told me that the man was elected as Supreme Chancellor. The Republic is lucky to have such a man its' leader.
Thank you. I know you will train Anakin well. I also value friends highly, as does my son.
That is such a relief! I do not think Anakin would have the best experience regarding his training, if he were to have much contact with the Council…that is until his initial feelings of disappointment are gone. I am pleased that such a mentoring Master/Apprenticeship training will be available to Anakin. That is the most valuable kind of training I can think of. He will do well.
Please let me know how everything is going.
Your friend,
Shmi
