is there for drama and a sort of filler
it gives us a chance to see how
truly father and son are alike.
As Anakin whines and cries to Padme
about being a jedi in the scenes that follow.

her because like the
Cylons of Battlestar Galactica,
they wanted to create
a human/sand people race.
yeah thats it.
Or thats how Anakin 'had no father'
he's a Hybrid.

The sandpeople had women and children. We know this because Anakin killed them how could he tell? The children might be smaller but I never saw a sandperson with breasts. Did they hike their skirts and show him some leg or something? Did he check the corpses. If so, did he go any further than checking the corpses? Anyhow, assuming they had women, why would they need to rape a human woman to death?
Also, I can see the point of wanting to kidnap a human and use her as a slave, but they didn't. They tied her to a flimsy easel for a month. It's assumed they had to feed and give her water. What for? Was she purely ornamental? I can understand them wanting the droids, you can sell those for a lot of money, but a chick who's only skills are finding non-existand mushrooms and getting randomly pregnant, you're not going to get much.
They could have made this into a fairly interesting KOTOR style juxtaposition wherein Amidala has 3p0 translte with the sandpeople and try to find out their grievances, thus revealing a motive, and then Anakin just goes and slaughters them. But instead Anakin just shrugs off her solution and massacres them. There are so many opportunities to add depth that are completely ignored.

I am hereby appropriating these two quotes for my sig (hope you don't mind, J m). BTW, why does everyone get this idea that they raped her to death? IIRC, all we actually see is some kind of small cut on her face. After spending a month tied to a flimsy easel for no reason, maybe she just died of boredom.

Another theory:
Maybe they just captured and
tortured her for a month as revenge.
For all the Raider Homies
they'd lost along the way.
They'd been mistreated for years
and it's possible they kidnapped
someone every month
and beat them
til they expire

dude... the first thing i would do if i killed a mob of sandpeople, is do some unwrapping. I'd want to see what they look like... i imagine he was there for a few hours... "oh... this one's a girl. huh... there you go."
i still say the best thing that could have happened in this scene is anikan cutting through the wall of the ...uh... igloo type thing and stepping through to discover he cut the bit of wall shmi was tied too and trips over into her steaming dismembered remains...
if it had been through his own stupidity that she died, it would have made more sense that he went spastic by the next film.
i like the conversation with jack tompson though...
should have been like this...
LARS: they took your mother in the middle of the night, i would have rescued her, but you know...
ANI: what?!? you just let them take her?
LARS: hey, smallville was on.
ANI: you just let them take her as a slave.?
LARS: hey she spent the last 10 years talking about how you were comming back to free all the slaves, i figured you were on it.
