But in 32 BBY, during the Trade Federation crisis, he meets a boy named Anakin Skywalker, and his older sister, Petra. Following the death of his master, Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan becomes responsible for both Anakin and Petra, but finds his heart threatening to betray him yet again. He is torn between his loyalty to the Jedi, and an affection for a young slave woman he cannot quite place.
