After the Jedi Council tell Q-G & Obi to go back to Naboo, Qui-Gon asks what to do about Anakin, saying that Anakin is his charge, and that he has nowhere else to go. They agreed that Anakin was his charge, and Yoda told him to take Anakin back with them, but not train him; "Take him with you, but train him not".<br /><br />Considering how they didn't believe Qui-Gon about the Sith being back, and that they'd agreed that the Force was strong with Anakin, I think they may have been waiting for final proof of both Anakin's being the Chosen One, as well as the Sith's return.<br /><br />But to bring a child onto a planet where there are not only Trade Fed droid forces, but potentially a Sith Apprentice as well? Mind you, that cockpit was perhaps the safest place for Anakin, since it could be shut, and Anakin was small enough. And it wouldn't have been much better out on the grassland, where the Gungans were fighting the droid armies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543195171933661664.post-10898624606010418662014-02-19T22:08:35.321-05:002014-02-19T22:08:35.321-05:00I do think that Qui-Gon could have left Anakin beh...I do think that Qui-Gon could have left Anakin behind in some clearing or hiding place near the spot where Padme and Boss Nass met. I do recall Qui-Gon insisting that Anakin stay hidden and out of sight in the Naboo hangar.

Qui-Gon couldn't just leave Anakin alone on Coruscant. I think it is clear Qui-Gon didn't intend for Anakin to fly off into a space battle. Anakin was Qui-Gon’s responsibility. Who else would take him? The Council, at that point, had rejected the boy, thus leaving him in Qui-Gon’s care. Certainly all the Gungans and the queen’s security were involved in the battle. The queen's starship was captured after it landed according to Nute Gunray while talking to Sids. So it would have been bad to leave Anakin in that.

Lando is sent in as a inside man, that makes some sense. Turning Chewie over didn't make much sense. After Leia saves Han what would they do about poor Chewie? Yeah Leia is using him as a decoy to get in like in ANH by how are they going to get him out? Was Leia working independentlyof Luke trying to save Han, or was her getting captured part of the plan? (through mostly an excuse to see her in a bikini). Giving the droids away is mixed, R2 sneaks a weapon by which makes a little sense if things go wrong, while C3PO doesn't really make much sense except to help explain what's going on to the viewers. Then Luke finally shows up. The whole rescure plan is a bit messy storywise. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
