Re: that line I must obey my master
Good point, DD. A slave chip doesn't require a lot of explanation...it would be normal for slaves in the star wars universe to have some kind of mark or implant, along the lines of a droid's restraining bolt.

Re: that line I must obey my master
Yes good point, the chip is indeed practically a human version of the Droid restraining bolt, except it can't hold a human in place, so it is used to kill the person if they try to escape. But I just wondered, if a slave did escape the slave master may not want to activate the bomb, as he/she would be worried that they are wasting a valuable slave instead of going out to try and capture it. If a slave escaped I reckon most slave masters would go and try to get the slave back rather than activate the chip.

Re: that line I must obey my master
Yes, it's definately a deterant more than anything else. But what if a slave displeased a master so much that they press the button. That's definately a motivator in that respect.

Re: that line I must obey my master
I think if the slave master has more than one slave then he/she may use it on one of them to scare the others and encourage them not to try anything silly (like escaping).
Otherwise, I doubt a slave master would press the button unless the slave had become worthless, disrespectful, disobedient, troublesome and had tried to escape more than once. Slaves are very expensive, remember, so only rich people or people who are desperate to get rid of the slave but can't sell it, would activate the chip.

Re: that line I must obey my master
There is a problem to this theory though  .If it was the chip that controlled Anakin's actions than it would have to be the chip that caused his downfall.Don't you think that would defeat the whole purpose of Anakin's fall and rise?

Re: that line I must obey my master
I see what you mean. But I don't think we should keep going back and back and back seeing what things lead to another and therefore began the whole incident of Anakin turning to the Dark Side. We should just think about the main plot point that DIRECTLY leads to Anakin's downfall, which I assume is either the death of his mother or something to do with Obi-Wan or Padmé.

Or maybe a little bit of it all.

Re: that line I must obey my master
Yes, you're quite. All of them will play a major role in Anakin's life as a Jedi, so it is probably all these bad things going on around him (Shmi dying, Obi-Wan not trusting him, etc) that make him choose an easier life down the Dark Side.

Re: that line I must obey my master
The death od Shmi appears to now have become a great focal point.
Aldera.net have posted their latest plot spec which sees Shmi brutally attached by Tusken Raiders and then dieing in the arms of Anakin.
That's sure gonna ruin his day.....

Re: that line I must obey my master
I'm not really happy about the Tusken Raiders appearing again. It wouldn't bother me if it was just a short bit like in the TPM podrace, but according to theforce.net there will be whole families of them and one of them may be a Jedi hopeful. It seems we may delve deeper into the tales of the Tusken Raiders, but I would rather they stay silent and mysterious. Still, it would be cool if we saw one without its mask on.
