[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7750202, member: 6803337"] 'Random' in quotes, I think. Hindsight is 20/20: If I were advising Lucas, I would have made Young Anakin suspicious that everybody else - except his mom - is out to take advantage of him; he gradually warms up to Qui-Jon but not Obi-Wan. That way the poor sod who plays Teen Anakin doesn't have to make such a huge character-twisting jump. Anakin latches onto Padme (who gets older too between the movies) as a replacement for the mother who has been banished from his life; both mistake their feelings for romance and inevitable crack-up ensues. I would also have somehow worked up a scene where Sidious is outside Shmi's window when she gets pregnant, sensing the Force, chortling quietly, but it's not clear what he's doing. Rather than "There is no father" there was a night of fear and humiliation (suitable dark side emotions), rooted in her status as a slave, that she does NOT want Anakin to learn details of - and she gets fiercely protective of Anakin's future when Obi-Wan, trying to figure out why he is in over his head training Anakin, presses her on the matter.
