Quotes
-
Anakin : I don't want things to change.
Shmi Skywalker : But you can't stop the change any more than you can... stop the suns from setting.
-
[Anakin is about to leave his mother behind to train as a Jedi]
Anakin : I can't do it, Mom. I just can't do it.
Shmi Skywalker : Ani...
Anakin : Will I ever see you again?
Shmi Skywalker : What does your heart tell you?
Anakin : I hope so. Yes... I guess.
Shmi Skywalker : Then we will see each other again.
Anakin : I will come back and free you, Mom. I promise.
Shmi Skywalker : Now, be brave, and don't look back. Don't look back.
-
Shmi Skywalker : All slaves have a transmitter placed somewhere in their body.
Anakin : I've been working on a scanner to try and locate mine.
Shmi Skywalker : Any attempt to escape...
Anakin : And they blow you up! BOOM!
Jar Jar Binks : How wude!
-
Anakin : What about Mom? Is she free too?
Qui-Gon Jinn : I tried to free your mother, Ani, but Watto wouldn't have it.
Anakin : You're coming with us, aren't you, Mom?
Shmi Skywalker : Son, my place is here. My future is here. It is time for you to let go.
-
Qui-Gon Jinn : The Force is unusually strong with him. That much is clear. Who was his father?
Shmi Skywalker : There was no father. I carried him, I gave birth, I raised him. I can't explain what happened.
-
Qui-Gon Jinn : He can see things before they happen. That's why he appears to have such quick reflexes. It's a Jedi trait.
Shmi Skywalker : He deserves better than a slave's life.
-
Shmi Skywalker : [podrace] Well done, Anakin. You have given hope to all these people.
-
Anakin : I've built a racer. It's the fastest ever! There's a big race tomorrow on Boonta Eve. You could enter my pod. It's all but finished.
Shmi Skywalker : Anakin, Watto won't let you...
Anakin : Watto doesn't know I've built it.
[to Qui-Gon Jinn]
Anakin : You could make him think it was yours and you could get him to let me pilot it for you.
Shmi Skywalker : I don't want you to race, Anni, it's awful. I die every time Watto makes you do it.
Anakin : But, mom, I love it. The prize money would more than pay for the parts they need.
-
Shmi Skywalker : Can you help him?
Qui-Gon Jinn : I don't know. I didn't actually come here to free slaves.
-
Anakin : I had a dream I was a Jedi. I came back here and freed all the slaves. Have you come to free us?
Qui-Gon Jinn : No, I'm afraid not.
Anakin : I think you have. Why else would you be here?
Qui-Gon Jinn : I can see there's no fooling you, Anakin. We're on our way to Coruscant, the central system in the Republic, on a very important mission.
Anakin : How did you end up out here in the Outer Rim?
Padmé : Our ship was damaged, and we're stranded here until we can repair it.
Anakin : I can help. I can fix anything.
Qui-Gon Jinn : I believe you can. But first we must acquire the parts we need.
Jar Jar Binks : With no-nutten mula to trade.
Padmé : These junk dealers must have a weakness of some kind.
Shmi Skywalker : Gambling. Everything here revolves around betting on those awful races.
-
Qui-Gon Jinn : You should be very proud of your son. He gives without any thought of reward.
Shmi Skywalker : Well, he knows nothing of greed. He has a...
Qui-Gon Jinn : He has special powers.
Shmi Skywalker : Yes.
-
Shmi Skywalker : [referring to Anakin] I may not like it, but he can help you. He was meant to help you.
-
Qui-Gon Jinn : You're no longer a slave.
Anakin : [to his mother] Did you hear that?
Shmi Skywalker : Now you can make your dreams come true, Ani. You are free.
-
Anakin : It's what I've always dreamed of doing. Can I go, Mom?
Shmi Skywalker : Anakin. This path has been placed before you. The choice is yours alone.
