You are right: the Sith-theme playing when you saw Shmi was a give-away

STOP!!!!

Everybody keeps banging on about this Sith music when you see Shmi... No you don't. You here Darth Maul's theme as he is coming into Tattoine's orbit the scene after.

Watch, you will see.

But on the other hand, either Shmi has something to hide, or she was just played by a "really" shite actress.

The Ani = clone thing has crossed my mind too but I don't think he is, it will take the "mythological birth"away (thanks Ush). 😄

that was some quick moving by sidious if anakin was a clone planted in the way of qgj, remember at first the sith didn't know where the Queen had gone, it was only after the viceroy told sidious that the queen had escaped that the sith knew that they had escaped to tatooine, i find it hard to believe that anakin was placed their intentionally by sidious, he seemed to have a lot of friends and that old woman knew him pretty well. Also if anakin was a clone loaded with mc's then wouldn't sidious have just taken him as his apprentice straight away and not bothered the potential risk of losing him to the jedi. however i do think that shmi is hiding something, probably the truth about his past, especially thise 3 years when he wasn't on tatooine. perhaps shmi was a jedi herself, who knows?

Nah, lets not make Shmi more than she is..I think the whole point of her was that she's a simple woman and provided Anakin with a simple background.

I agree with that. I think it's good speculation but she isn't anything more than Anakins mother.

Yup, Anakin's mythological/godly birth origins in the form of the MCs is almost certainly to be taken as read...

Sorry, I just watched TPM again and the theme starts 2 seconds too early

I still think something is up with Shimi! We didn't even suspect Lando was a bad guy untill it was too late! But of course he redeemed himself!, and who would of guessed that Vader was Lukes father, we didn't see that one coming. I can almost bet that Shimi will have a bombshell of her own!!!.....I'm so dramatic 🙂

Music does often start in the previous scene to announce a change of tone to the audience.

Trust me, the music is Maul's and not Shmi's

I am still not convinced but I will shut up for now

there must be something about shmi. she's just too weird to be normal 🙂

Well acording to Pernilla August she only has one scene in AOTC. Not enough time to be anything else than Anakins mother.

Enough time to die, I would say

she did seem rather keen to get rid of him, perhaps her and watto were having a bit on the side.

😂 Ewww, that's a mental picture I could of done without 😱

Now QGJ is not going to like that!!
I'm still of the point that QGJ is in love with Shmi: look at the movie!!

I hardly think he will care much about it, concidering he is DEAD.

Therefor the others invented the trick of being a ghost

he must have fell in love pretty quickly, he was only there a night, and for someone he loved he left the plant pretty easily without promising to come back and save her.

He felt surprice was wiser, but he died.
lol
