Chapter 2: Old Friends
“Coming up on Tatooine now, sirs.”
Anakin and Ferus were in the middle of an especially intense game of dejarik when TC-93’s metallic voice rang loud and clear over the ship’s intercom system. Declaring the round a draw, Anakin and Ferus made their way up to the cockpit just as the Nimble Nerf came out of lightspeed, streaking lines turning into stars. The silhouette of the planet Tatooine filled the forward viewport as the transport established a standard orbit.
“Do I have your permission to begin landing procedures, sirs?” TC-93 inquired in a monotone mechanical voice.
“Yes. Set us down in the Mos Espa spaceport immediately,” Anakin responded.
************************************
“Pushee wumpah skocha-kloonkee!” Wald exclaimed as he chased a mischievous runaway pit droid around the landing platform of one of Mos Espa’s worn-down hangars.
“Keepuna! Loca poodoo!” the young Rodian let out a string of expletives in Huttese as the pit droid ducked behind crates and lifts, evading his grasp once again.
Wald knew Watto would not be pleased if he lost another pit droid. He had lost three in the last week, and Watto would never forgive him if he lost another. The problem was that these pit droids moved faster than ordinary pit droids did. These particular pit droids were reprogrammed and upgraded by Anakin before he left Tatooine behind and Wald had no idea why the droids had decided to go crazy all of a sudden. If only Anakin were here to fix them…
Wald sighed inwardly and covered his face ashamedly with his long green hands as the pit droid ran headlong into a transport that was in the process of landing in the hangar.
Wald peaked out through his fingers to see what the pit droid was doing and was furious to see it running up the boarding ramp of the transport that had just landed. Wald ran as fast as his legs could carry him up the boarding ramp to prevent the pit droid from boarding the ship before the crew noticed.
Just as Wald reached the top of the ramp, the mechanical door flew open and the pit droid scurried inside like some sort of rabid womp rat.
“Keepuna! Sleemo…” Wald started to exclaim just as a pair of tall humans accompanied by a questionable-looking protocol droid appeared at the doorway.
Wald stopped dead in his tracks as one of the humans made a gesture with his hand, calling the pit droid to his grasp and hitting the nose of the droid in one fluid motion. The pit droid folded up into a compact shape and the human tossed the subdued pit droid into a stunned Wald’s arms.
“What’d I always tell you, Wald? Hit the nose!”
Wald twitched his head from side to side, eyeing the strange human from his boots up to the braid dangling from his short hair. Then, like a sandstorm, it hit him.
“Ani!? Chuba!”
“Nice to see you too Wald,” Anakin responded in conversational Huttese.
Kee chai chai cun kuta?” Wald asked, looking fondly up at his old friend.
“I’m here to free my mother…and to free you, Kitster…and everyone else in Mos Espa!”
Wald’s face quickly went from disbelief to complete shock.
Motioning for Wald to come inside the ship so they could speak privately, Anakin sat Wald down to explain. Ferus sat next to Anakin, trying to pick up bits and pieces of Huttese along the way. Whenever he came across a phrase he didn’t understand, he turned to TC-93 for a quick translation. “As long as there’s a protocol droid here, why not make the most of it?” Ferus thought to himself.
After Anakin had finished talking with Wald, the short Rodian, still holding the collapsed pit droid in his arms, motioned for the Anakin and Ferus to follow him back to Watto’s shop.
Leaving TC-93 behind to watch the Nimble Nerf, Anakin and Ferus made their way with Wald into the bustling streets of Mos Espa.
As they reached the entrance to Watto’s shop, the Toydarian came fluttering around the corner, offering the customary greeting “Gooddé da lodia!” to the visitors.
“Chut chut Watto,” Anakin responded, looking the Toydarian straight in the eyes.
Watto looked at Wald for a moment, then turned his head to Ferus, before returning his gaze back to Anakin.
“Ani, little Ani?”
Anakin took the pit droid from Wald, tapped it on the nose and pressed a few buttons under the droid’s disc-shaped head. The pit droid immediately stood up and continued about its chores as though nothing had happened.
“It is you!” Watto exclaimed.
“You are Ani! It is you! Ya sure sprouted! Weehoo! A Jedi! Waddya know? Hey, maybe you couldda help with some deadbeats who owe me a lot-a money…”
“Mi bosco de Shmi Skywalker.”
“Are you sure? Ya know, I couldda…”
“My mother,” Anakin replied, leaving no doubt that he had no interest in any of Watto’s personal schemes or vendettas.
“Wald told me that you sold her years ago, although you wouldn’t tell him who you sold her to.”
“Well-a ya see, I was going to, but you know business…”
“I don’t care about your business, I want to know what happened to my mother.”
“Ah, yes, of course, of-a course. I, uh, I sold her years ago to a moisture farmer named Lars. Least I think it was Lars. Believe it or not, I heard he freed her and married her. Can ya beat that!?”
“Do you know where they are?”
“Long way from here... someplace over on the other side of Mos Eisley, I think...”
“I'd like to know.”
“Yeah... sure...a-absolutely. Let's go look in my records.”
*************************************
After learning the location of the Lars Moisture Farm from Watto, Anakin had followed Wald to pick up Kitster in the slave quarters district and had returned to the Mos Espa spaceport where TC-93 was waiting. Anakin had explained everything to Kitster, from his Jedi training, to his relationship with Ferus, to his mission to free the slaves of Mos Espa, and hopefully, all of Tatooine.
While they traveled to Mos Eisley aboard the Nimble Nerf, Kitster listened attentively to Anakin, and shared stories with him about what had happened since he had left nearly ten years ago.
Anakin, Ferus, Kitster, and Wald all sat down to play a game of dejarik, and as they drew closer and closer to Mos Eisley, Anakin’s heart trembled with anticipation at seeing his mother once more.
Before long, the Nimble Nerf set down on the outskirts of Mos Eisley, with Anakin, Ferus, Wald, and Kitster descending the boarding ramp. They soon reached the Lars Homestead, only to be greeted by a familiar-sounding protocol droid.
“Oh, hello. How might I be of service? I am C-”
“-3PO?” Anakin finished.
“Oh, um…The Maker!! Oh, Master Ani, I knew you would return, I knew it! And your old friends, Kitster and Wald, oh my! And a new Jedi friend too! Bless my circuits I’m so pleased to see you all!”
“I’ve come to see my mother,” Anakin replied.
Just as he finished the sentence, Anakin saw movement out of the corner of his eye. A woman working on one of the moisture vaporators in the distance turned around and Anakin’s heart leapt.
It was Shmi.
Anakin burst into a Force sprint and within moments he was holding his mother in his arms.
After they parted, Shmi got a chance to get a good look at Anakin and the friends he had brought with him.
“Ani…Ani. Oh, you look so handsome. My son, my grown up son, I’m so proud of you Ani.”
“I missed you mom…so much…”
“I know, and I’ve missed you too, my son. I’ve often wondered what you were up to, what glorious planets you were off visiting, how you were handling being a Jedi. And I see you’ve brought some others with you. Why don’t you and your friends come inside; we have a lot to discuss.”
Kitster, Wald, and Ferus all greeted Shmi and they went inside the Lars family hovel.
“Cliegg will be back in time for the evening meal. He’s out trading with some nearby jawas for some new vaporator parts with Owen, and Owen’s new girlfriend, Beru.”
C-3PO offered each of the guests refreshments as Shmi told Anakin the story of how she had first met Cliegg and how they had fallen in love and eventually married. In his youth, Cliegg had been married to a young woman named Aika. But when Aika died not long after he married her, Cliegg was devastated. He spent years on Tatooine grieving the loss of Aika, and he spent his time caring for his young son, Owen, on the Lars family moisture farm. When Cliegg was visiting the city of Mos Espa one day, he had met Shmi for the first time in Watto’s shop, and the rest was history.
After hearing his mother’s story, Anakin couldn’t stop himself from smiling.
“I’m so happy for you mom. All these years, and you’ve been free. I’ve saved up enough Republic credits over the years and was able to turn them into hard currency before I came to Tatooine. I had hoped to buy your freedom and the freedom of my friends, but with you free already, I was able to buy Kitster and Wald’s freedom as well as the freedom of half a dozen other slaves in the Mos Espa slave district.”
“How wonderful, Ani! But son, I thought Jedi were not allowed to ever see their parents again. And I didn’t think they usually spent their time so far out in the Outer Rim. Are you on a mission for the Jedi?”
“Not exactly, mom. You see, I…I…”
Seeing Anakin struggle with the words, Ferus reached over and put an arm around Anakin, sending ripples of calming Force energy flowing through him.
Anakin felt the soothing energy fill his spirit, and he mustered the strength to speak again.
Over the course of the next couple hours, Anakin told his mom everything. Ferus, Kitster, and Wald sat around the table, their presence offering a strong form of silent support as Anakin continued his explanation. Anakin started with what had happened after he had left Tatooine: his first trip to Coruscant, the Battle of Naboo, and the death of Qui-Gon. He went into detail about his training at the Jedi Temple, his Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, his many adventures as a Jedi, the moment he fell in love with Ferus, and his determination to end slavery across the galaxy, starting on Tatooine.
After he finished, his mother stayed silent for a long time. Then she looked at Anakin and Ferus, and a beaming smile formed on her face.
“You’ve followed your heart, my son. I couldn’t be prouder of you.”
She got up from her chair and enveloped Anakin in a warm embrace. She caressed his cheek with her warm hand, and gave him another hug. Then she turned towards Ferus and embraced him as well.
“Thank you for helping my son. I’m so happy he has someone like you watching over him. Anakin was meant to do grand things with his life; he was meant to help people. I wish the Jedi Order could see that as clearly as I do now.”
She turned and embraced Kitster and Wald as well. And when C-3PO came back into the room with more refreshments, she hugged him too.
“Oh my goodness gracious me…” C-3PO exclaimed as Shmi hugged the droid and thanked him for being there for her all the years since Anakin left.
“You have all been a large part of my son’s life, and have helped guide him into becoming the young man he is today. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you truly. Years ago, I would never have thought any of this possible and yet here we all stand today.”
Just as she finished thanking everyone, the faint hum of a landspeeder could be heard off in the distance. Cliegg, Owen, and Beru had returned from their trip.
C-3PO went outside to greet them and soon they were all sitting inside the Lars’ family hovel, sharing a meal and conversation together as Tatooine’s twin suns set in the sky and disappeared from sight.

Epilogue: Salvation Deferred
The sound of a beeping comlink awoke Anakin with a start. Next to him, Ferus had awoken simultaneously, grabbing his comlink and activating the transmission.
“Ferus, Anakin…It’s Tru…Tru Veld. I don’t have much time, so I’ll make this quick. Siri and Obi-Wan are returning from their mission with Master Luminara early! If you leave for Coruscant in the next couple hours, you should be able to make it before they get back. I hope you did what you set out to do, ‘cause I don’t know how much longer I can cover for you here…”
The transmission ended, and Ferus exchanged a knowing glance with Anakin.
“Well I guess this is it Anakin,” Ferus let out softly, bracing himself for a harsh response.
Somewhat to his surprise, Anakin merely stayed where he was in a serene pose. Ferus was about to say something when Anakin put his hand over Ferus’s lips.
“I know, Ferus. I know.”
Anakin, Ferus, Wald, and Kitster had spent the night at the Lars homestead after a long night of reminiscing and getting to know the Lars family. Anakin had left Wald and Kitster with enough credits to start a new life in Mos Eisley, and they had agreed to stay in touch with Shmi and the Lars family, to make sure they were safe.
Anakin had planned on returning to Mos Espa the following morning to start a city-wide liberation of the slaves. He didn’t know exactly how he would have accomplished it, but with Ferus by his side, he knew they could have done it. From there, he had hoped to start a chain-reaction that would start a liberation movement on Tatooine, and maybe even the rest of the Outer Rim. He had thought he would have another two weeks to start the liberation of the slaves he so often dreamed about, but Tru’s transmission cut that dream short.
With the hunt for Granta-Omega and the more advanced missions he and Ferus would have to take as they neared the Jedi Trials, he didn’t know when they would get another chance to come to Tatooine again, to see his mother and friends, and to free slaves.
But after hearing Shmi’s warm words and seeing her happy in a new life, he felt an inner peace he had never felt before. It was as if a dark part of his soul had been illuminated, and he would never be the same again. He would never truly rest until his dream was fulfilled, but for now he could allow himself a certain feeling of contentment.
He would say his goodbyes after sunrise and he would leave with Ferus to return to the Jedi Temple once more, but for this one brief moment he would revel in the feeling that he was home. Home for the first time in almost a decade.
For once the warmth of Tatooine’s rising suns didn’t bother him. He and Ferus walked side by side holding hands as they went out of the hovel and watched the sunrise in the clear morning.
By the end of the day they would be back on Coruscant, and Tatooine would once again be a galaxy away. But for now…for now Anakin was content to bask in the light.
