Remember Watto says no pod is worth to slaves, so Qui-Gon says "ok just the boy." How come after they won the race, instead of selling the pod for them money they got they traded the pod for Anakins mom? Im not saying shed get to go and watch Anakin be trained but the least they could do was try and free her. Makes no sense.
you know, I've asked myself that same question too many times.
I have also asked myself this question,but then I thought to myself watto wouldnt sell her anyway he had already lost all his money and Anikan to Qui gon I dont think he would sell him the only slave he had left.
"I am a jedi like my father before me"
If they sold a winning podracer...and gave the money to Shmi...then why doesn't she just buy her own freedom?!? Especially considering she could sell C3PO, too!
Stupid! Stupid...!
