Who is Anakin Skywalker’s mother?

The story behind the answer

Anakin was born on Tatooine to a slave who said he had no father; both mother and son were owned by Watto. Padmé Amidala is his future wife, not a parent. Beru Whitesun Lars is related by marriage—Owen’s wife and later Luke’s aunt. Jobal Naberrie is Padmé’s mother, with no blood relation to Anakin.

After being freed and married by Cliegg Lars, Anakin’s mother was abducted by Tusken Raiders; his inability to save her became a pivotal trauma that accelerated his path toward the dark side. Her account of his miraculous birth connects to the Chosen One prophecy and the saga’s themes of destiny, attachment, and loss.
