Spoilerage
One doesn't really know from the end of TPM how much time has elapsed between
the end of the battle and the celebration. Obviously, Obi wan gets accepted
and Anakin gets apprenticed, so there is some elapsed time here, but it's a bit
ambiguous. Also, when Anakin leaves Shmi, she asks him to look into his heart
to know if he'll see her again. The kid can see into the future, and his
reaction to her statement is typical of any kid who knows something bad's gonna
happen, but doesn't want to believe it. Definite implication that the next
movie will deal with this issue. I don't think the end needed a "Now, to save
my mom" type of speech.
