I liked the movie overall. It seemed to me when Yoda sensed fear in him, he
meant fear of losing/being separated from his mother. That coupled with the
whole too sentimental goodbye scene between Anakin and Mom makes me think
that in episode 2 or thereabaouts Anakin is going to come back to free the
slave, especially Mom, but find that she's dead or she dies in the process,
and that is what is going to turn him to the dark side. This is my
prediction based only on seeing the movies.
