If you've seen the rumours about a Gladiator style combat chamber in Ep2 then I have an idea on what it might be. Anakin at one point has to meet Gardula and Jabba the hut and my guess is many more huts to free the slaves. There will be a battle in which Anakin has to fight someone or something in front of the other Huts while Amidala and friends attempt to free the slaves. Just like Luke did in ROTJ except this time there will probably be more Jedi and some of them will probably die in this battle.

I agree with you but I hope he doesn't fight another monster. I hope he fights the next Sith in front of the other Huts while the slaves are being freed.

Good call!!!

That is a cool theory. I like the sounds of a distraction while Owen(check his topic for my theory on him) and Schmi free the slaves. Then as everyone books it, Anakin has to see his mom cut down by Sing or the Sith. The slaves aren't just kept in some giant jail, so we have to see a big "deactivate the hidden probes" scene. Hutts, Bounty Hunters and a sith vs. Anakin, Ob1, Mace, a doomed Jedi and some angry slaves would make for a sweet scene.

Maybe the Hutts have their own trained warriors in which they will make Amidala, Anakin, etc. fight. I can't see the new Sith and the Hutts connected.

The Huts will help Palpatine during the prequels.

S.J.S

I think everyone already knows that. Who would Anakin fight though? I can see him completely losing it as the Huts taunt him and so he kills half of them. Then he fights the Sith or Clones.

Palpatine could use the Hutts as his underhanded crime accomplices. Xizor would do a better job at that though. I envisioned Palpatine forseeing Anakin and the slave uprising, then sending his sith to kill Schmi in the ensuing mayhem and intensify Anakins anger.

I think Ani would have to fight a couple of Weequays. He'll kill a couple, then a ship will come and get him.

That's a sissy lala challenge. Make him fight a force wielding Sing or a Sith for the Hutts pleasure. Then he can escape in the ship, you've got to fit in his revenge on Gardulla as well. Leave the Weequays to the angry slaves.

I think there should be a Gladiator droid. That would work.

Do you mean some super fast a assasin droid with loads of challenging weapons for him to deal with? Reminds me of how Vader trains against the Asps in Shadows, and how Luke fights Guri. A droid fighting him is cool, especially to keep away from Rancor copying.

*ugh* Pit Offerings, oh boy!

I think the Huts set a trap for Anakin. They know he is coming to free the slaves so Watto takes him there only to be confronted by the New Sith and maybe more villains. Obi-Wan gets there just in time to help him.

In that kind of scenario I think Anakin has to fight his way out alone. Something terrible happens(Scmi's death?) and Ob1's dissapearence sets up for him to be blamed for the incident later. With Palpatine pointing out to Anakin how it was that Ob1 betrayed him.

Good scenario, maybe even likely!!

Thanks, I'm almost posative that Palpatine has to somehow create a rift of mistrust and hatred between Ob1 and Anakin. Schmi and Amidala are likely to be the best tools for him to do this.

OB1 has never met Shmi remember that. So she couldn't be key to tearing them apart. Although, Amidala is at the ripeful age where both Anakin and OB1 can be interested. She COULD be the reason Anakin turns. OB1 and her have an affair. Ohh My!!!

That could also explain some of Owen's bitterness toward OB1. If Owen and Anakin are step/foster brothers then Owen's not going to appreciate OB1's interest in Padme, however fleeting.

Yes siree.

Here we go:
Palpatine has the kind of fatherly relationship with Ani that Qui-Gon would have had(Ob1 is more like the big brother who gets all the glory). So Anakin consults with Palpatine when he's mad at Ob1 or the going gets rough, remember he says: "we'll watch your progress with great intrest." So after the Tatoine visit in which Schmi dies Anakin goes to consult with Palpy. Palpy fuels the boys confusion and anger. He points out that if Ob1 had been around at more crucial times Schmi might still be alive, thus pinning the blame on Ob1/

At another such meeting Palpatine listens to Anakins confused feelings about Amidala and again points out that Ob1 could be blamed for his and the queens deteriorating relationship. While Amidala and the older Ob1 are just good friends Ani's tricked into believing they sre having an affair, and thus his anger with Ob1 grows stronger. Untill eventually when Anakin seeks independance and goes on some dark errand for Palpy Ob1 confronts him. They fight, Anakin taps into the dark side and Ob1 is forced to distroy the boy.

Xizor I like it how you go on with your freak rants and ideas to show your point!! Seriously I like it, and as for your idea, sounds great!

I still wish we had seen the Huts who own the slaves in Ep1. It would explain who Anakin is going to free them from.
