Biography

Shmi Skywalker was Anakin's mother, a slave in Mos Espa who told Qui-Gon Jinn she could not explain Anakin's birth. Freed later by Cliegg Lars, she was captured by Tusken Raiders and died in Anakin's arms. She told the Jedi she had carried Anakin with no father; that claim is the file's oldest note on him.
