anakin's slave chip/device
Anyone think about what happend to anakin's hidden slave device (or chip) that is implanted in them??
once he was no longer a slave, shouldn't they have showed the removal or deactivation of it?...
I know I would be like "ok, get this thing out of me Watto or my buddy qui gon will cut your wings off with his saber!!!!" I mean, that's a major thing man!!!
maybe watto gets pissed off and detonates it anyway...it would explain some serious injury...(besides the so called lava pit thing..)
"any attempt to escape...AND THEY BLOW YOU UP!!! BOOM"

When Qui Gon went to collect Anakin Watto would have had to deactivate the device as part of thre deal, however that doesn't mean he removed it so it could still be inside his body.

do you think it will contribute later to any of his injuries?.....
or are we to just assume it was taken care of?...

Re: anakins slave chip/devise
There's a good possiblity that it explodes..I think there has to be more of a reason for GL to put it in the storyline then just what we see in TPM.

Re: anakins slave chip/devise
True, if could explain the big hole in the back of old Anakins head when Luke removes the mask in ROTJ.
Maybe Watto does it when (if) Anakin returns to Tatooine to find his mother.

Re: anakins slave chip/devise
anakin says he is trying to make a device to locate his chip (so he can get rid of it himself i guess). he is pretty good with mechanical stuff. and 10 years is a long time between the movies. maybe it was taken care of in that time. maybe they won't even mention it, but it would be cool if it blew up.
how about this for a theory. obi-wan senses that anakin is turning to the dark side. he goes back to tatooine and finds watto and gets the control thingy that activates anakin's chip. then he confronts anakin and says, "turn to the light side of the force or i'll blow you up!" anakin sneers and attacks. obi-wan knocks him backward into a lava pit and then presses the button. lava erupts 30 meters into the air and obi-wan walks away.
okay, maybe it won't happen that way. but it was fun being that creative for a moment.

Re: anakins slave chip/devise
if the chip is designed to keep slaves from escaping, then i doubt that anakin could survive the blast.

Re: anakins slave chip/devise
I can't imagine OB1 blowing Anakin up... I think it's possible that the chip does blow up but doesn't kill him though...the chip could be damaged or erroded... it's sort of how old landmines are. They're designed to be 100% fatal but it doesn't aways work that way.

Re: anakins slave chip/devise
I think we might be reading to much into this. When Anakin was freed I just assumed the device was taken out or permenately deactivated. I can't see that playing an important part. But what do I know? Your guess is as good as mine?

Re: anakins slave chip/devise
True...just the fact Lucas chose to add it in makes me a little suspicious that it will come into play later

Re: anakins slave chip/devise
Doesn't the TPM novel include a scene where Anakin and Qui-Gon go to Watto to get the chip removed? I just don't think Lucas wanted to include what would have been a very boring scene.

Re: anakins slave chip/devise
I don't know if it's in the novel...but you know the rule..if it's not in the movie it's subject to change..

I guess
Yeah I guess, but I don't really think Watto is likely to set the thing off and kill Anakin. He isn't THAT mean is he?

anakin's slave chip/device
no...I don't think he will set it off....someone may try it, but I really think that deep down watto likes the kid.....he did not want to loose him for other reasons...besides loosing a slave or worker...
His downfall is greed, not hate...

Basically I think it will not even be mentioned in the next two films. It's not really something anyone should be worrying about.

I think it's too early to blow it off entirely
