    That is pretty closed minded of Anakin to kill a bunch of sand people just because he doesnt agree with/understand their culture and rituals. He is unAmerican.

    "I started a thread about this before and the consensus is that she was physically violated in a number of different ways. "

    Violated in how many different ways? One, two or three ways? [face_thinking]

    Both Shmi and Padme seem to die by The Forces hand. I'm not sure about it though.

    They both seem to hand on to perform some function. For Shmi it's so Anakin to watch her die (Darkside of The Force) and Padme to give birth to her children.

    The AOTC novel discusses the motivations for capturing Shmi. Apparently it is a rite of passage to capture someone and slowly torture them to death.

    What Quix said.

    Here is the exact text from the DVD text commentary when using the dvd.starwars.com feature (on the dvd itself) accompanying text popup during the film.

    "Tusken Raiders have a horrible ritual called "bloodrites," a frightful tradition of stalking, capturing and torturing prey over a span of weeks to earn passage into adulthood."

    Latly I thought about that Palp. might have something to do with the capture of Shmi. He knows the story of Anakin, and know that Anakin would maybe or defently sense Shmi if she was in pain, and this could be a action that provoked the anger in Anakin and led him on the path to the Dark side.

    Yes it's possible she was raped also I think Palpatine/Sidous set it all up.
