I posted that last message just a little too soon. The secret message is known after all, in full.

Do not read on if you want to figure it out for yourself.

1. (Anakin) "new"
2. (Sebulba) "lurks"
3. (Qui-Gon) "breaks"
4. (Watto) "but"
5. (Jabba) "their
6. (Palpatine) "face"
7. (R2-D2) "but"
8. (Darth Sidious) "enslavement"
9. (Darth Maul) "destroyed"
10. (Jar Jar) "future"
11. (Mace Windu) "may"
12. (Obi-Wan) "another"
13. (Captain Panaka) "Anakin"
14. (Rune Kaako) "an"
15. (Ric Olie) "free"
16. (Destroyer Droid) "Jedi"
17. (Queen Amidala) "but"
18. (Padme) "nearby"
19. (Shmi Skywalker) "is"
20. (Battle Droid) "triumph"
21. (Chancellor Valorum) "menace"
22. (C3PO) "the"
23. (Nute Gunray) "clouded"
24. (Boss Nass) "one"

Unscrambled, it probably goes something like this:

"Anakin breaks free but may face new enslavement. The Jedi triumph but their future is clouded. One menace is destroyed but another lurks nearby."

I'm kind of disappointed I stumbled across the answer in full. At first I wanted to, but after I realized not many people knew, I kind of wanted to piece it together myself. Oh well.

The solution was obtained from the link below, which includes pictures of most of the cans, in case you were wondering who some of them are.
