No filme (e novelizações), não está claro que Padmé contou a ninguém sobre o incidente, nem que Yoda estava ciente da extensão total das ações de Anakin, além de ter se envolvido em algo que lhe causou grande emoção. aflição (a morte de sua mãe). Assumindo que ninguém sabia o que ele tinha feito, não haveria razão para ele enfrentar qualquer censura.
Na Novataçà £ o do Ataque dos Clones , vemos que Padmà © aprova seu assassinato. farra (!) e tenta convencê-lo da correção de suas ações:
He ignored her. “Not just the men,” he went on. “And the men are the only fighters among the Tuskens. No, not just them. The women and the children, too.” His face contorted, as if he was teetering between anger and guilt. “They’re like animals!” he said suddenly. “And I slaughtered them like animals! I hate them!”
...
“I hate them!” he insisted.
“And they earned your anger, Anakin.” [said Padmé]
He looked up at her, his eyes wet with tears. “But it was more than that,” he started to say, and then he shook his head and buried his face against the softness of her breast.
E na Novela da Vingança dos Sith fica claro que Anakin manteve a natureza precisa de suas ações no campo Tusken segredo da liderança Jedi (mas não seu amigo o chanceler):
No que diz respeito aos povos "civilizados" de Tatooine, o povo da areia era pouco mais do que um verme. Em um mundo onde os Hutts (renomados por suas ações criminosas) estavam no comando e as leis da República não prevalecem, parece não haver nenhuma questão legal em particular que resultaria da sua morte, mesmo em grandes números.“Don’t be afraid, Anakin [said Palpatine]. What is said between us here need never pass beyond these walls. Anakin, think: think how hard it has been to hold all your secrets inside. Have you ever needed to keep a secret from me?”
He ticked his fingers one by one. “I have kept the secret of your marriage all these years. The slaughter at the Tusken camp, you shared with me. I was there when you executed Count Dooku. And I know where you got the power to defeat him. You see? You have never needed to pretend with me, the way you must with your Jedi comrades.
Do you understand that you need never hide anything from me? That I accept you exactly as you are?”
