Why didn't Anakin stay on Tattooine and become a professional pod racer? He could've stayed with his mum, freed her with the shit load of money he would've made while doing what he loved and ultimately spare the galaxy of his genocide?

Bump

Then he could have been a part time smuggler for Jabba on the side? Or a force sensitive bounty hunter?

Because Qui-Gon fixed the bet with Watto over which slave would be freed.

He didn't listen to the will of the force by letting the dice roll, he forced it to pick Anakin.

Had young Anakin witnessed the Jedi rescue his mother from slavery, he probably would have grown into a significantly better person.

He was the chosen one.

STOP WATCHING STAR WARS

Why didn't he come back at literally any time after the end of Phantom Menace? The Queen of Naboo was his personal friend, she could have afforded to pay the price for his mother. He was being trained by a Jedi Knight with a seat on the council. He blew up the droid command ship. The least they could have done for him was free his mother. They could have offered Watto double, triple, quadruple the price and he wouldn't have been able to refuse such a deal. Yet Anakin doesn't go back for ten years, and that's only because the plot required him to kill innocent sand people and become evil.

Still better than TFA or Rogue One, though.

This

his mother was already freed and married by the time he was close to padme

because tattooine was a metaphor for aleppo
bravo lucas

Because George Lucas is a fucking hack, he named his own company after himself for fuck sake.

Because that wasn't pod racing.

I'll never understand why those movies have better reviews than the prequels.

She was freed and married into the family that raises Luke

no time for watching star wars
too busy posting on Sup Forums tbqhwy

He was good, but he wasn't like podracing star potential. A few things to remember;

>He was among the Tatooine circuit, which itself would be really small time given how remote the planet is, and how poorly run it obviously was
>He'd lost before, which is why Watto didn't just make bank off racing the kid constantly, he wasn't some wunderkind unbeatable prodigy
>He said himself he was the only human who could do it, which is likely an exaggeration on his part, but a good indicator that there are probably plenty of other species out there who just through their natural physiology, are amazing at podracing

Anakin was good, but he wasn't good enough to probably ever make it off Tatooine or go pro.

Why didn't she leave that shithole planet?

Because he wanted to be a Jedi more than anything. Did you even watch the movie?

This. Anakin is basically Eli Manning: a fucking retard that somehow managed to beat the GOAT (Sebulba aka Tom Brady)

Qui-Gon should have dumped the Jedi and instead started Qui-Gon Racing Team with Anakin as his top pilot.

I can't remember and don't want to check but isn't Anakin the only one to finish the race? Everyone else died.
High chance he would have died in the next race.

Nah, there were survivors. Atleast Bulba survived.

>shithole planet
they're sittin pretty with two suns and blue milk top that.
