It's an especially perilous time to succeed to the throne, since Naboo is locked in a blockade deployed by the powerful Trade Federation, headed by the Neimoidian Viceroy Nute Gunray. Meanwhile, at the same edge of this galaxy, two Jedi knights aboard a small cruiser bearing the insignia of the Republic are approaching the planet of Naboo, whose queen, Amidala, young and supposedly untried as a ruler, has just been newly elected. He's wise far beyond his nine years, he's wily and cunning, and therefore he's content to bide his time until all his special gifts can be put to use to fulfill his dreams of a new life for him and his mother. Of course, Anakin is too shrewd ever to attempt such a foolish strategy. Try to remove it, or try to run away, and the device will detonate and turn the slave into Bantha fodder. They each have an explosive tracer embedded in a secret location somewhere in their body tissues. Still, he's a slave, and on Tatooine, slaves aren't able to escape. After all, doesn't Watto insist on entering Anakin and his pod racer in the regular races, in spite of fact that no human of any age has ever been able to win one? And hasn't Anakin been successful in hiding the fact that he's building his own pod racer, from scrap parts and components bartered from a myriad of sources? Someday soon, when he needs it, it will be completed and ready.

He senses things that others can not, he knows that threats are present even when he can not see them, and he is gifted at building and repairing technically complex machines like protocol droids and pod racers.

He looks up at the sky and imagines himself grown up, a pilot who will be flying battle cruisers and fighters.Īdults like his owner, Watto, a Toydarian merchant with a lumpy body and constantly beating wings, could not hope to know what Anakin knows - that he is special in an extraordinary way that even he does not fully understand. As only a nine year-old can, he also dreams what would seem to an adult to be unattainable, impossible dreams. On the sun-drenched and sand-bitten planet of Tatooine, a nine year-old slave boy, Anakin Skywalker, dreams of the future when he and his mother, Shmi, will be free of the yoke of slavery.
