Shmi Skywalker always settled. She settled for a pregnancy outside her control but not the result of rape. She settled for letting go of that son she bore for her child’s better life. She was a slave, had been one all her life. Nor did she have her son’s boldness to carve out something for himself and damn the consequences. She moved as life took her, as the sand moved with the wind, and expected nothing more because the slave never got anything more. And Shmi was content with the path life directed her towards.
