They met Boss Nass. Boss Nass agreed to give the Jedi a bongo to help them go to Theed, the capital city of Naboo, and warn the Queen of Naboo, Padme Amidala. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and Jar Jar rescued Queen Amidala. Then, they escaped Naboo and headed to Tatooine, where they met a local junk dealer named Watto and a kind young boy named Anakin Skywalker. Qui-Gon bet for the boy's freedom. Anakin competed in the Podrace. Anakin's amazing Podracing skills won him his freedom. Anakin had to leave his mother behind. Anakin said goodbye to Threepio and his mother, Shmi. Then, Qui-Gon and Anakin headed towards the Queen's Royal Starship. Darth Maul came on his speeder and battled Qui-Gon Jinn. Qui-Gon almost got killed, but he escaped. Then, the Queen's Royal Starship went to Coruscant and Qui-Gon brought Anakin before the Jedi Council. The Jedi Council tested Anakin.
