I was just watching TPM, and when Anakin said he had a dream he would become a Jedi and come back to free the slaves, I got to wondering:
Whatever happens with slavery on Tattooine? Do the slaves ever get freed? If so, how, and when, and does Anakin have anything to do with it?
I'm guessing the EU has touched on this. Anybody know?

You know what? This has always bugged me. It was probably one of the most stirring lines delivered in TPM, so I just knew in 1999 that in one of the other PT movies, Anakin would go back to Tatooine and free the slaves in some sort of Kwisatz Hadderach Dune-y kind of way. But no. It never happened. And a great opportunity was wasted.
