Rewatching ep 1 with my son.

God, Everyone just forgets about Shmi. Padme is rich, and doesn't take action, the Jedi could send a courriour, and don't, Anakin waits a decade...

Palpatine could buy her, and then use that to drive a wedge between Anakin and the Jedi...

But everyone just forgets the virgin Shmi.
