Anakin Skywalker quotes from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999)

Anakin Skywalker

Mom, you said that the biggest problem in the universe is no one helps each other.

Anakin Skywalker

Now this is podracing!

Anakin Skywalker

I am a person, and my name is Anakin!

Anakin Skywalker

Are you an angel?

Queen Amidala

What?

Anakin Skywalker

An angel. I've heard the deep space pilots talk about them. They're the most beautiful creatures in the universe. They live on the moon of Iego, I think.

Queen Amidala

You're a funny little boy. How do you know so much?

Anakin Skywalker

I listen to all the traders and star pilots who came through here. I'm a pilot, you know, and someday I'm going to fly away from this place.

Queen Amidala

You're a pilot?

Anakin Skywalker

Mmhm. All my life.

Queen Amidala

How long have you been here?

Anakin Skywalker

Since I was very little, three, I think. My Mom and I were sold to Gardola the Hutt, but he lost us betting on the pod races.

Queen Amidala

You're a slave?

Anakin Skywalker

I'm a person and my name is Anakin.

Shmi Skywalker

All slaves have a transmitter placed somewhere in their bodies.

Anakin Skywalker

I've been trying to work on a scanner to try and locate mine.

Shmi Skywalker

Any attempt to escape...

Anakin Skywalker

And they blow you up! BOOM!

Jar Jar Binks

How wude!

Anakin Skywalker

You're a Jedi Knight, aren't you?

Qui-Gon Jinn

What makes you think that?

Anakin Skywalker

I saw your laser sword. Only Jedi carry that kind of weapon.

Qui-Gon Jinn

Perhaps I killed a Jedi and took it from him.

Anakin Skywalker

I don't think so. No one can kill a Jedi.

Qui-Gon Jinn

I wish that were so.

Sebulba

You won't walk away from this one, you slave scum!

Anakin Skywalker

Don't count on it, slime ball!

Sebulba

You're Bantha fodder!

Anakin Skywalker

I can't do it, Mom. I just can't do it.

Shmi Skywalker

Ani...

Anakin Skywalker

Will I ever see you again?

Shmi Skywalker

What does your heart tell you?

Anakin Skywalker

I hope so. Yes... I guess.

Shmi Skywalker

Then we will see each other again.

Anakin Skywalker

I will come back and free you, Mom. I promise.

Shmi Skywalker

Now, be brave and don't look back. Don't look back.

Qui-Gon Jinn

Anakin Skywalker, meet Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Anakin Skywalker

Hi. You're a Jedi too! Pleased to meet you.

Master Yoda

How feel you?

Anakin Skywalker

Cold, sir.

Master Yoda

Afraid, are you?

Anakin Skywalker

No, sir.

Master Yoda

See through you, we can.

Mace Windu

Be mindful of your feelings.

Ki-Adi-Mundi

Your thoughts dwell on your mother.

Anakin Skywalker

I miss her.

Master Yoda

Afraid to lose her, I think, hmm?

Anakin Skywalker

What has that got to do with anything?

Master Yoda

Everything! Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you.

Anakin Skywalker

Master, sir, I heard Yoda talking about midi-chlorians. I've been wondering...what are midi-chlorians?

Qui-Gon Jinn

Midi-chlorians are a microcopic lifeform that reside within all living cells and communicates with the Force.

Anakin Skywalker

They live inside of me?

Qui-Gon Jinn

In your cells, yes. We are symbionts with them-

Anakin Skywalker

Symbionts?

Qui-Gon Jinn

Life forms living together for mutual advantage. Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They continually speak to you, telling you the will of the Force. When you learn to quiet your mind, you will hear them speaking to you.

Anakin Skywalker

I don't understand.

Qui-Gon Jinn

With time and training, Annie, you will. You will.

Anakin Skywalker

What will happen to me now?

Obi-Wan Kenobi

The council has granted me to train you. You will be a Jedi. I promise.
