What are you messing up with? He was talking about Tatooine, but in OT it was never clear when Owen talked about it, was Tatooine still Anakin's home.

 

*Following is a question about @slowpokeking's opinion* Do you ( Slowpokeking ) think that Ben meant Tatooine when he said "here" or do you (Slowpokeking ) think he meant a different place? *The preceding was a question about @slowpokeking's opinion*

 

You're imagining things.

 

Is it some game?

Your question is

I never denied he meant Tatooine, but in OT it was never clear when he talked about that issue, was Tatooine Anakin's home or not.

 

Did you read what i wrote? . It was conjecture, In that part of the post it was conjecture, I didnt say it was fact.

 

Okay, good we are getting somewhere. Now, do you think when he used the phrase "...should have stayed here..." ("here" being, as you indicated, the planet of Tatooine, ) what is your interpretation of the word "stayed"? Do you think that means Anakin was there and should not have left tatooine when he was 9,or do you think that it means that Anakin should have left Coruscant when he was in his 20's and come for a "stay" on Tatooine?

 

So then, you suggest that he would stay with his mother. When he says he wants to stay with her after learning that she can;t go with them,she urges him to leave. She's a slave.n She lives at Watto's discretion. That is what a slave is. Slaves do not have control over their lives, how or where they live. They don't have ownership of homes. They don't have anything that isn't allowed to them. That's what a slave is.

It's true, Anakin has a little money in his pocket. It's not even enough to free his mother, so how long is that going to last him? Are you really suggesting that Owen thought staying there was best? Really??

 

He was probably just smelling the kid's diaper.

 

I'm not sure, since OT never showed us, either time is possible.

 

What is your interpretation of the word "stayed" in the phrase, "...should have stayed here..." Slowpokeking? What do you think he meant?

 

Indeed- given how reluctant Watto is to lose Anakin (his tinkering skills, his piloting skills) I think it highly likely he'd keep Anakin on- possibly getting as much out of him as possible by promises to improve Shmi's working conditions.

 

Of course you refer to that time when Anakin, at age 9, should have stayed on Tatooine and not followed Obi-Wan off on some damn fool idealistic crusade... because that's clearly what was going on there, right?. Anakin was following Obi-Wan on a damn fool idealistic crusade.

 

He should have stayed on Tatooine. Simple.

 

It never said the crusade happened right when he left, and Anakin did follow Obi Wan in the Clone Wars later.

 

He cannot stay with his mother,she is living in slavery.

Your suggestion that this is what was meant by Owen is absurd

 

Why do you think Owen would have thought that Anakin should have stayed on Tatooine and not moved to Coruscant, or moved back from Coruscant to the planet Tatooine specifically during the time frames at which it would have made it accurate that Anakin would need to "stay" there?

 

And what did Shmi do for watto? U don't know? no one does. So what working conditions? Their little place didnt look too bad, wasn't like they were living in abject squalor was it?

 

I have, several times. It makes no sense. It's contrived and convoluted.

 

I think the TPM novel mentions it.

 

Of course you refer to that time, when Anakin, at age 9, should have stayed on Tatooine and not gotten involved. Because that's what Owen totally meant, right?
