Also posted in my own thread. I figure more people will see it here:

Not a final version yet as I'm still not happy with it when the droid speaks for the second time. I have quite a few different sound files to play with though so I'll have a more thorough stab at it soon.

The subtitles I intend to add will explain that Anakin did come back to free Shmi, but left to become a Jedi. I'm seeing the droid as a disgruntled servant much like Kreacher in Harry Potter, so he won't be very friendly.

Having such a rude protocol droid may explain why Owen has "no need for a protocol droid" in ANH ;)

Completely agree. I like the idea of more primitive versions of R2 and 3PO in the prequels -- those versions should not exist yet. PLUS, I hate too many connections between the prequels and the OT. Let's make the universe bigger, not smaller please. Comic relief needed by NEW characters (Jar Jar or some other character completely recast and rewritten).
