Maybe later, once we’re finished with all our duties, like putting down the illegal Tattooine slave uprising and various other revolts that threaten the status quo.
Actually, on second thought, a mother is a personal connection. Can’t have the Jedi making human connections because if they end up dying without heirs, the Jedi order usually gets most or all of their shit. We’ll just ignore the whole genetic component of force sensitivity (and also fail to discover that Anakin’s strength is because his father was literally the dark side of the force).
In Legends, he actually sent a valuable item to Shmi for her to buy herself her freedom, which she gave to Cliegg for him to buy her freedom from Watto.
Edit: he being Qui-Gon
Edit 2: the book was Tatooine Ghost
Which “he”? Obi Wan or Anakin? Or Qui Gon maybe, I could see him doing that soon after getting back to Correscant and there were a lot of significant things that happening off screen during Phantom Menace (eg, that’s when the tragedy of Darth Plagueis happens, right after Palpatine secures the Chancellorship, when Plagueis gets drunk celebrating it).
Hold up, Darth Plagueis was still alive during the events of TPM? I always assumed that Sheev must have killed him before he took on Maul as an apprentice. Rule of two, and all that.
