What does Shmi do for a living ?
Okay, here's my first new topic, gang. I know Shmi is a slave as well as Anakin, but what does she do? I don't think she works in Watto's shop, but I don't think a slave hangs out around the house all day.

She probally works at the shop doing the same chores as Anakin did.

Yeah she probably has a nice easy job like all of the slaves seem to have.

In the novel she does enter the shop at some point, although I can't remember if she was working. Also, in the scene when Qui-Gon tells Shmi and Anakin that Anakin is free she is sitting at her work desk with lots of little pieces of machinery and parts. I think she might make certain gadgets and machines for Watto.

Yes, DD, I remember she was sitting at what looked like some kind of work table with all kinds of small machinery. Still, being slaves, their place certainly wasn't a dungeon. According to the book, there was a main room/kitchen area, Anakins room and Shmi's room. Not bad for slaves on a planet on the outer rim.

Somewhere, I think it was in the novel but I'll have to check, but I remember it saying that she cleaned and repaired small items of machinary for Watto. I'm sure that was in the Novel. Before that we was a house maid for a Hutt.

Yes exactly as it says in the Insider's Guide. She was indeed a house servent and now cleans machine devices. Also I think I heard that when in Watto's Shop she cleans racks and things like that, just as Anakin does.
I don't think that either of them have a particular job or routine. I think it just depends on what Watto tells them to do. If his junkyard needs to be sorted out he might tell Shmi to do it and if his shop is dirty he might ask Anakin to clean the place up. It all just depends on what Watto needs rather than a single type of job for each slave.

I've got to get the insiders guide. But I'd rather repair machinery for Watto than clean house for a Hutt. Yuck.

They need the slime to move along. And so would you if you had no legs or skeleton.

Back on topic please.
Anyway here is the answer-When Shmi is not working at Watto's home,she is permitted to clean computer memory devices to bring in a modest income.A small area on her home is where Shmi keeps her tools and equipment is devoted to this activity.

Ah riiight. I guess that's all been mentioned, so we can assume that we're right. I could kind of imagine her making food for Watto too. He isn't likely to make it himself when he has two slaves working for him.
