Do script:
PADMÉ: (amused): Have you been here long?
ANAKIN: Since I was very little, three, I think. My Mom and I were sold to Gardulla the Hutt, but she lost us, betting on the Podraces, to Watto, who's a lot better master than Gardulla, I think.
PADMÉ: You're...a slave?
ANAKIN looks at PADMÉ defiantly.
ANAKIN I am a person! My name is Anakin.
Então os Skywalkers eram escravos. Não está claro como eles se tornaram escravos em primeiro lugar ou se isso se estendeu aos humanos como espécie.
Fontes não canônicas dizem
At the age of six, Shmi and her family embarked on a space voyage to the Outer Rim Territories, where they were captured by pirates and sold into slavery.
(Shmi é a mãe de Anakin.)
Isso sugere que a escravidão não foi estendida a todos os seres humanos.
