When Anakin Skywalker turned 9, his life was changed. Three strangers came to Watto's shop. They needed parts to repair their ship. One of the three was a Gungan with floppy ears named Jar Jar Binks. Another was a tall man with long hair. His name was Master Qui-Gon Jinn. The third was a Queen. Her name was Amidala of Naboo. Anakin told the visitors of his podracing skill. Later on, he would race in the Boonta Eve Classic. Jedi Qui-Gon betted that Anakin would win. Anakin not only won the race, he won his freedom. 

Qui-Gon gave Anakin the chance to join him and become a Jedi. He had to make a choice. He decided to leave his mother on Tattooine and join Qui-Gon. The Jedi became a father figure to Anakin. The boy watched as Qui-Gon encountered a Zabrak named Darth Maul.

Anakin was fascinated with Coruscant the capital of the Republic. Later, Anakin was introduced to the Jedi Council. Anakin missed his mother. The Jedi Council nicknamed Anakin the Chosen One. He could sense that his life had changed forever.
