THE 'PHANTOM' AT TWENTY: POINT OF DEPARTURE!


Anakin has finally earned his freedom from slavedom, with his remaining pod racing winnings give to his mother. The boy's future as a Jedi seems certain now as a mother prepares to see her child leave the nest, though she is mildly comforted by the fact that Anakin will have the noble Qui-Gon Jinn as his mentor.

"There is just a hint of romance in these encounters (between Shmi and Qui-Gon), something very subtle. Both Pernilla (August) and I were very conscious of that. There was warmth between them when they looked at each other. It didn't have to be obvious, just subtle and loving."
