BTW, I can't figure out why they didn't use those when the gas started
leaking out... Why did they take a deep breath and hold it instead?

TC-14 was the protocol droid at the very beginning of the film -- the one
who served drinks to OWK & QGJ and reported to the viceroy that the
ambassadors might be Jedi.

Gotta be! Gotta be! (Can't wait for the Clone Wars in Ep2/3!!!)
Say, a friend of mine here in town has an additional theory related to that
one...
Shmi said that all slaves had hidden transmitters embedded in their bodies,
and Anakin said that he'd tried to find his (but hadn't yet).
So...
What if the reason Anakin hasn't found his yet is because there -isn't- one?
What if it's just a coverup to what they really installed into Shmi? -- an
embryo? Naturally, she would pass this information on to Anakin if she'd
been lied to about the transmitters.
OTOH, the idea of embedding transmitters makes a lot of sense.

| (...) Oh. I just figured it out. The breathing-device thingies must extract oxygen etc. from water on-the-fly (maybe that's how they can be so small) and they couldn't do that from the gas. --Todd (25 years ago, 26-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
