Since the Jedi had fucked up “codes” to live by, I never would have expected them to rescue the mom.
Queen Amidala, however…
How fucked up is it that she was taken in by Anakin’s mother, who (as a god damn slave) fed her, gave her a place to stay, allowed her son to risk his life in a pod race, and ultimately gave her only son up willingly to go with her and the two Jedi, not really knowing what would happen but just trusting he’d be safe—but then, that same kid who gets attacked on the way to the ship just leaving Tattooine, ends up flying a fighter craft and destroying the droid control ship which saves Amidala’s entire planet and people. The fact the kid survived any of that is a miracle, but he clearly misses his mother. A fact Amidala was blatantly aware of.
The fact that Amidala, who had nearly infinite resources at her disposal, owed her life and every life she was responsible for in Naboo to Anakin, and was clearly aware of pretty much the only thing Anakin wanted in the entire universe—his god damn mother—and yet Amidala didn’t do jack fucking shit to drop a few coins on Watto and free Shmi.
I never would have expected the Jedi to free her, but Amidala? What a fucking piece of work…
There are just so many wtf did George do this questions where the only answer is “so the movie can happen.” It’s lazy writing which most people overlook bc the movies are fun spectacles.
Overall the movies are made to sell billions of dollars worth of toys and lunch boxes to a new generation, so they’re not particularly worried about writing high quality plot lines.

Yeah, but mother-in-law.
“oh god I hope that little slave boy blows me out”
Ah, that had me laughing:D
First time you’ve come across an SW plot hole?
