     Slavery seems more than quite acceptable in The Star Wars Universe.  No one is surprised or alarmed at this.
     Even Quai-Gonn claimed ownership of Jar Jar for a life debt.
     Sure, it is all for fun, and it is all made-up, but the connection to us here on The Planet Earth is that human trafficking still continues.
     I am disturbed by this, as I am sure others are.
     What anybody can do about it is questionable.  Not even governments seem able to snuff this problem.
     It looks like human slavery on Earth will not end anytime soon, unfortunately.
     In Star Wars, though, slavery is just a part of life, like breathing air.
     The thing that Star Wars never addresses is what actually happens with female slaves.  Certainly they function as consorts, and provide warmth on a cold night.  Not complying would mean death, I would assume.
     Annakin was a slave, but he didn't seem to have it that tough, even though he was bitter about it for the rest of his life.

     While I'm thinking about it, "Who was Annakin's father?"  I'm confused about it.  Who impregnated Schmee is what I want to know.  Was it a virgin birth?  That is ridiculous.  Sperm has to hit an egg at some point.

     I'm also curious what happened with Leia while she was a slave.  Did Jabba have that little stupid laughing Kaworkian monkey molest her?  Who knows.  It is all conjecture.
