Shmi,
Don't worry about me. I have many skilled people around me to protect me and I've also been trained in protecting myself. I'm confident that we will survive this and we will emerge the victors in this battle. The last time I saw Anakin he was shooting destroyers out of our way, which was a great help to us. He is fine, I can see him right now and he'll be safe in the cockpit because no one can see him there who doesn't know he's there.
I promise I will do everything I can to arrange for Anakin to stay here. It really seems like he won't be trained now because he is too old, too dangerous, and has too many attachments. I don't understand this. How can a nine-year-old be dangerous? And if he is, why would they want a dangerous person to leave like that? Wouldn't they want to watch him and make sure he wasn't a threat of some kind? I just don't understand the Jedi ways and I doubt I ever will.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are fighting a Sith lord right now. I don't know where they are but I hope they survive. I didn't trust Qui-Gon at first, but now I see that he is a very wise man that should be trusted. He knows what he's talking about and I respect that in a person.
Thank you for your advice regarding the battle. It means a lot to me that you care so much and you hardly know me. I never had a mother, but I feel like I do now. Thank you very much. I will keep an eye on Anakin as much as I can.
Padme
