Qui-Gon can feel the Force being strong in Anakin, and after Anakin proves this by using his extremely quick reflexes during an exhilarating pod race, they take off with the kid in tow. The Jedi Council aren't sure of this, as they sense something dark and strong inside Anakin. Nevertheless, they let him proceed. Before this all can happen, however, we are able to witness a three-person lightsaber duel, the Queen trying to break into her own house, the Gungans fighting a bunch of Federation droids, and Anakin singlehandedly taking on the Federation's fighters. A few thoughts on the movie.
Anger leads to hate.
Hate leads to suffering. Said by the master of wisdom, Yoda, this is perhaps the only phrase from this movie that will go into the English lexicon. My mother says angels are the most beautiful creatures in the world. This is said by Anakin to Amidala. I was duly impressed.
