Tatooine is a huge desert planet that belongs to the Arkanis galaxy region in the outer space of the Galactic Republic galaxy. It is a planet orbiting a low-temperature binary star system.
It is one of the oldest planets in the Milky Way. It is mainly composed of a molten core, a rocky mantle, and a silicate-based crust. The detectable fossil record on it shows that there was life here more than two million years ago and was once covered by vast oceans and dense jungles.
However, Anakin doesn't like this place, because the climate here has long turned into a barren world, and the ocean has dried up for many years. The barren and desolate surface and the former ocean have gradually evolved into diverse topography. , but what’s more here is just the bright golden color due to the high sodium content and the endless sea of sand that can’t be seen at a glance...
However, even if it is a vast sand sea planet, there are still many cities and residents here, and the despicable and backward slavery system is still retained!
And this is the main reason why Anakin doesn't like this place very much...
Although this is his hometown, the place where he was born and raised for more than ten years... However, anyone who has been a slave since he was born, and then was oppressed and enslaved by the ruthless slave owner for so many years with his mother, I'm sure I won't like it here too much.
"..."
"Tatooine, I'm back..."
Looking at the dome houses in front of him and the desert town with almost no trace of green like Coruscant, Anakin sighed, and based on his own memory, although there were slight changes towards this, it was generally the same. Walking forward step by step, the streets still looked as dilapidated as before.
In front, there was what he needed, and he had already seen an acquaintance... the Toydari who was clumsily repairing a certain machine, with a short and fat figure, an ugly nose, wings, and blue skin. Demi-human - Watto!
The other party is a slave owner here, and at the same time, he is also Anakin's master... Of course, that was just the former master, and now, the other party is no longer worthy!
Because now he, Anakin Skywalker, is a Jedi apprentice with noble status and transcendent power. He is not the short, fat, ugly monster with an ugly long nose and a foul smell all over his body. Able to climb high.
"Hi……"
"Hello Watto, we meet again!"
Although all kinds of thoughts were surging in his heart, Anakin still walked up to an old acquaintance with a smile and greeted him with a hint of sigh.
Once upon a time, when he saw the other party, he would say that he was submissive, for fear that he would be punished if he did something wrong... But now, he can look down on the other party, and the other party is like an ant in front of him, and can no longer make him have any thoughts. A trace of fear!
"??"
"Who are you……"
Wattou, a Toydarian, had a face full of doubts. Obviously, he did not recognize the Anakin in front of him who had changed greatly and had not seen him for ten years, and he never expected that it was the other person.
"Well?"
"What are you fixing? Well, let me help you!"
Since the other party did not recognize him and his mother was still in the other party's hands, Anakin said that he could help the other party first.
After all, he promised Obi-Wan that he came to Tatooine this time to redeem his mother peacefully, not to hack the other party to death and then take his mother away... However, if the other party doesn't do anything, If he is willing to let him go, there's no telling what he will do in the end.
"??"
"Hello!"
"What do you want to do?!"
"etc……"
"That's a lightsaber... You, you are a Jedi? Damn it, why are there Jedi coming to such a bad place again?"
Looking at the other party's outfit, Wattu was a little surprised and a little annoyed at the same time! Because his bad luck started when he met a Jedi Knight, and now he meets another one so many years later. Doesn't that mean that nothing good will happen?
So, involuntarily, he couldn't help but become a little nervous.
"you……"
"Anyway, I didn't cause any trouble. Even if I did, it wasn't me. I definitely won't admit it. Don't try to trick me!"
Wattu thought that the other party was here to cause trouble for some illegal things he had done, so before the other party could say anything, he hurriedly denied it as if he had no money.
"..."
"Okay! Watto, it's fixed now, here it is for you!"
Unfortunately, Anakin ignored the other party's words and just repaired his own thing. He quickly repaired it and then gently placed it in front of the other party.
'! ! '
"you……"
A Jedi Knight would be so kind as to help him repair something. This kind of thing made Wattu feel a little frightened. He stared at the other person's face with some uncertainty, wanting to see what the other person would say later. What to say.
"snort!"
"Okay, Watto! Don't be nervous. I'm actually here to see Shmi Skywalker this time. You should know her, right?"
Seeing the anxious expression on the other person's face and his movements that were almost about to run away, Anakin sighed inwardly and snorted coldly before speaking out to comfort the other person.
This time, as long as the other party honestly hands over his mother and doesn't play any tricks with him, he will definitely not embarrass the other party too much.
"Who are you……"
"ah!"
'Annie? Are you...little Annie? ! '
Looking at the other person's appearance and eyes, although he has grown up, there are still certain contours on his face, and considering that the other person is also a Jedi Knight, Watto quickly remembered something and tentatively broke out in intimacy. It was Anakin's childhood nickname. Anyway, that's what he used to call him.
"..."
Anakin said nothing and still looked at each other, acquiescing.
"impossible……"
"But it should be right, you are Annie, you are Anakin...yes, I remembered, it is you!"
"Ha ha!"
"Look at you, you've grown so tall and become a Jedi Knight? What a surprise!"
After flying around the other party and looking around, Watto soon started laughing.
Because he suddenly felt that maybe with his relationship with Anakin, he should be able to use it to scare and threaten those bastards who often bullied him or wanted to default on their debts when they saw him in trouble?
Think about it, having such an iron-clad relationship with a Jedi Knight friend is more bluffing than being with the administrator who manages this area or with the most powerful pirate! Because the Jedi Knights are much more powerful and more powerful than them. This is recognized by the entire galaxy!
"Okay, Watto, stop talking!"
"Say it!"
"My mother, where is she now?"
Anakin didn't have time to talk nonsense with the other party, so he asked directly.
This time, he insisted on redeeming his mother, Shmi Skywalker, so he hoped that the other party would be wiser and give a number that he could accept, otherwise, he could not guarantee that he would not Putting something that was originally simple into force.
"ah….."
"Yes, Simi... I should have known earlier. You must have come here for her, but it's too late. She no longer belongs to me. She was sold by me long ago. That was many years ago. Something happened!"
Under Anakin's vaguely threatening gaze, Watto, the owner of the thrift store, did not dare to try to hide it, but said it openly.
After all, that woman is his slave, and slaves are legal here on the planet Tatooine. It is normal for him to sell her. Even if the other party is a Jedi Knight, he cannot find out his identity from it. What's wrong is coming!
"!!"
"Sold, who did you sell to?!"
Anakin was slightly startled. He didn't expect such a commotion and felt a little uneasy. Anakin quickly asked.
"Oh, I'm sorry too though!"
"But Anakin, you also know that business is business, and friendship is friendship... Okay, okay, as you can see, I'm down and out now, and I can't afford to support her, so I sold her to a collector. The steam farmer, his name is Lars, at least that’s what I remember...”
"Hey!"
"Don't look at me with that look. At least he gave her freedom. He was very kind to her, married her, and maybe gave birth to a few cubs. There is simply no better outcome than that. !”
"That's right!"
"I generously gave her freedom, so you can't look at me like this!!"
Watto was a little frightened by the look in Anakin's eyes that looked like he wanted to kill someone... Although the other person was once his little slave, it is not what it used to be. Now the other person is a Jedi Knight. If the other person... If you cut yourself off because of your disagreement, you may have no place to explain yourself even if you die!
"snort!"
"Then do you know where she is?"
After hearing this, the angry Anakin calmed down a little, feeling that although the guy in front of him was cunning, he would not dare to lie to him after knowing his identity.
"It's far away from here anyway, I've long forgotten..."
"Okay! Okay! I said, I said it's not okay?!"
"Well……"
"I remember it should be... it's at the other end of the spaceport Mos Eisley, it's in that area anyway..."
Watto, who originally wanted to fool him, soon gave in to Anakin's terrifying look that could break out and hurt anyone at any time... because he knew Anakin, at least the young Anakin. He also knew what kind of person a certain brat was.
"explain!"
"I need to know more specifically!"
Anakin, who was already impatient, grabbed the other party's collar.
"this……."
"Hmph! What's the problem?"
"Of course, no problem!"
"Then tell me quickly!"
"Come on, although I can't remember it clearly, you know, it has been many years after all... But, I can check my records... Of course, if you are worried, you can check it yourself, anyway You know how to check it yourself, don’t you?”
"Hmph! Watto, you'd better stop playing tricks!"
"of course not!"
"Come on! Anakin, let's go to the store...after all, we are old friends. How can I embarrass you for such a trivial matter?"
Wattu smiled dryly, and while wanting to continue to have a relationship with the other party, he took the other party to the thrift store that had not changed much for more than ten years, and the only change was that it became dirtier and messier...
'Hello! '
'Anakin, now that you're rich, can't we have a couple of drinks? '
'Hello! ! '
Soon, within a few minutes, Anakin, who had found the result, hurriedly walked out of the thrift store without saying a word. He completely ignored the invitation from an ugly thrift store owner and kept a dark face. Walking towards the outside of this small town.
'All right……'
Not long after, Watto, the owner of the thrift store, saw a shuttle roaring from outside the town, kicking up bursts of sand and flying away at high speed in the direction of Mos Eisley. In the blink of an eye, Time disappeared at the end of the dim sky.
Two days later...
What Anakin never expected was that he still failed to find and rescue his mother... because he did not find her on the farm mentioned by the thrift store owner Watto, but on a group of towers. She was found in a Skene village.
And, when he found her, she was already a corpse, a corpse that could never be revived?
Then, he didn’t want to remember what he did...
Anyway, in the end, he just took the other party's body back to the farm again in a daze, because that was her home, and he could see that even the Force told him that she was attached to that place, and the one named Krieg... The owner of Lars' Moisture Farm really loved her, so he chose to bury her on the edge of the farm, together with other people who died after being attacked by Tuskens.
"..."
Looking at the tombstones in front of him and the one belonging to his mother, Anakin felt as if something was blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word...
Moreover, the huge anger and sadness were roaring and roaring in his heart like a wild beast, just like the restless insect swarms that he had suppressed and had to hibernate in the dark crust at the bottom of the Coruscant planet. Are you always thinking about breaking out of the prison and cannibalizing and destroying everything in the outside world?
Fortunately, Anakin didn't do anything in the end. He restrained himself and just stood silently in front of the tombstone, lowering his head and letting the wind mixed with yellow sand blow against his body that had been dry for a day and a night. Cheeks and chapped lips from food and water intake.
'...'
'I'm sorry, Anakin...'
'I'm just an ordinary farmer. I can't protect her. It's all my fault... And it would be great if there were more people like you in the world. Maybe, the world would be peaceful and there wouldn't be so many It's unfortunate...'
'you……'
'Oh, forget it...'
After taking care of the funeral affairs, looking at Anakin standing blankly in front of the grave, Krig Lars, his stepfather, originally wanted to say some words of comfort, but seeing the other man's appearance, he couldn't After thinking that his feelings were no better than the other person's, he finally sighed and shook his head, with red eyes, barely controlling his automatic wheelchair and taking his son and his son's girlfriend slowly back in the direction. Float away.
It's ridiculous to think about it. Like the other person, he has also lost a lot. When he himself needs someone to comfort him, how can he know how to comfort the other person?
"..."
"snort!"
"Are there more people like me? Ha! Mom, keep an eye on it. It will definitely happen, and it will happen soon. I promise you..."
"From now on, I swear: I will cherish and protect the things that belong to me, Anakin. I will be omnipotent. I will be the most powerful Jedi Knight and the most 'merciful' ruler in the entire galaxy... Anyone who breaks the law and destroys beautiful things, such as the Tuskens, will be mercilessly killed by me!"
"I promise, it will happen..."
"No one can take anything away from me again, I promise..."
After his stepfather, stepbrother and other strange family members left, Anakin took out a bottle containing several larvae and swore secretly, holding it tightly in his hand.
At this time, there is one less larvae in the bottle...
As for the missing one, he had already thrown it into the tribe of Tuskens that he had killed all yesterday... He had already given orders to the larvae and firmly believed that he would wait until The next time he comes to Tatooine, this chaotic planet will definitely turn into a different scene!
He promises that peace and order will definitely come to this chaotic planet!
However, that is the way he, Anakin Skywalker, thinks is right... and by then, all the evil Tuskens will be killed by him, leaving no one behind! !
As for whether all the Tuskens deserve to die, he can't care that much... because he only knows that soon, this planet will become his private territory, and everything here will be controlled by him. Gold Skywalker has the final say! This is just like what a powerful little Anne leader once said to him. The truth is only in the hands of powerful people. As long as he says that the sand people are guilty, then they are guilty, even if they are not!
Because, he is Anakin, he is Anakin Skywalker, the king of the swarm who is about to appear in front of the world!
Soon, he believes that there will be that day, and it may not be long... When the time is right, this Galactic Republic and even the entire galaxy will be under his control... By then, all All the rules will be formulated by him, and his will is the truth, the eternal and unchanging iron law! !
