Phantom Menace Problem

I do have one problem with SW...

...and as you might've guessed it has to do with the Phantom Menace. Actually, not mine but the girl's.

Hyperdrive puts the whole galaxy at your fingertips; it takes only a few hours if that to get from anywhere to anywhere. The Galactic Republic is an administrative union of something like thousands to millions of worlds? The Jedi Council seems to have a decent sized budget.

So why the hell didn't they go to Coruscant and then have somebody go out to Tatooine and buy Anakin's mother from Watou (sp?)? I mean Jesus Christ, there's got to be more than plenty in discretionary accounts to free the mother of the chosen one from a backwater parts dealer. C'mon. What the f88k?

Attechment isn't allowed... Saving Anakin his mom would mean that they would favour Anakin and give him a chance to love something, something that he should not do. The Jedi should not care for her, not to mention that there are a lot of Jedi. You can't go and save every one of their parents just for the hell of it

why the heck do they have to buy his mother free?
it's not their job to go around and buy every slave and setting them free, their job is to listen to the senate and do what they ask...
if they don't ask them to free all the slaves, the jedi can't do it

Heroic Regime 😕

Well they have to first get rid of Sith it's not safe to go with the Jedi she would be risking her life and they would have to protect her and it would interrut Anikans training and love life.

And he wouldn't have gone bad and no sequals so yeah and they have other buiness to take care of and Anikan could have gone back any time he wanted so yeah thats would be the answer to your question 😛

Isn't it I/II/III/[B]IV[/B}?

Anyhoo...when they take kids in for Jedi training they take them from their families. They don't allow any contact. I think it was in Star Wars KOTOR when they explained that...they are to leave their old lives behind no matter what.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that, after repeated viewing and 6 years to analyse it, I think that Episode I is the BEST Star Wars movie.
