Slaves were just another tool in their society. Is every person that sells a car a car dealer? No. Is every person that sells a laptop an electronic dealer? No. Are you ESL? Yes.
NTA but never use the first definition and assume it's the correct one. Contextually, I've never seen it used the way you're using it. It's more common to see slavemaster or slaveholder. Might be more of a britishism since it's the OES. (online version of both that and MW are largely shit anyways)

All definitions are applicable and then you add context to hone it down. Try harder Genghis.
No a slaver is someone who captures people and breaks and trains slaves
If you just own slaves and then you sell them you're just a israelite.. i mean entrepreneur
How does Watto know about Jedi Mind Tricks, but not that these guys are dressed like Jedi, could actually be Jedi, and could use telekinesis to influence dice rolls?
>Anakin is... LE SLAVE >lives in a comfy house with his mom, hangs out with his friends, gets to tinker with electronics in his room, pod races for fun, works a chill job helping out in a store and Waldo is never shown being abusive to him or his mother at all
Woah what a terrible childhood
Most of the slave owners weren't literal monsters. It's just a societal arrangement they happened to be born into. Some were abusive, some just went about their life using slave labor as any other resource you'd get.
slavery is a default human condition that was standard in all societies before industrialization made it unprofitable.
We didn't get rid of slavery because it was immoral, we just got rid of it because it's inefficient when a smaller number of workers using better equipment can produce a higher yield without having to house and feed them for their entire lives as well.
Partially true but they also did it to shut up the masses of people complaining about it. Obviously the government doesn't care about morality. It's just whoever shouts the loudest and causes the most problems for them. All they want to do is sit on their asses, collect tax revenue and keep the tax golems in line. They don't care about any moralistic bullshit other than what they think they have to say to make the golems behave.
The humans were from fricking. You think Shmi had an immaculate conception? Come on.
It's not a cost thing, a poor literal dirt farmer in Uncle Owen buys several droids at once without issue. Aliens were fricking Shmi and they would have started fricking Annie if Padme hadn't gotten to him first.
>literal dirt farmer in Uncle Owen buys several droids at once without issue.
From Jawas, who where notorious swindlers and thieves. May as well buy a Gucci bag at a swap meet.
>it's another episode of 'morons learn there was slavery throughout the entirety of history and most of the time it was completely different to muh heckin Black chattel slavery as practised in north america'
He wasn't a slaver, he was proprietor of a spaceship repair shop, essentially a space mechanic, who happened to own slaves
He also sold slaves, making him a slaver. Ask me how I know you’re a rusanglogermcuck.

Cope some more genghis. I don’t make the rules
Cope with what, the fact that you don't understand the language you're writing and that you're being corrected by a beaner right now?
Better luck next time Genghis

Well there's glory for you.

If I sell my used lawnmower does that make me a lawnmower salesman? No. I'm merely retailing my used goods without a middle man taking a cut.
>mind focused on profit
Need to see him team up with Quark.
Mind tricks don't work on me... only money
How does Watto know about Jedi Mind Tricks, but not that these guys are dressed like Jedi, could actually be Jedi, and could use telekinesis to influence dice rolls?
We know from Han that there aren't Jedi on every streetcorner confirming that they can do the extraordinary things they are said to be able to do.
Qui-Gon was unironically in the wrong for trying to mind control him and swindle him.
>don't swindle a swindler
That's true. Guess being a jedi robbing a guy blind is okay but murder, no way

A slaver obsessed with money and obnoxious haggling who lived in a desert and had a comically oversized snout
Most of the slave owners weren't literal monsters. It's just a societal arrangement they happened to be born into. Some were abusive, some just went about their life using slave labor as any other resource you'd get.
Is it just me or was this guy really israeli coded?
It was really just a combination of a fly and an elephant, they were inspired to combine the largest land animal with one of the smallest.
What was up with the hat then?
Maybe. But it could also be that scummy money grubbing people generally have these characteristics.
Just so happens that israelites also have these kind of characteristics. Make of that what you will.
Pure cohencidence.
>Chut-chut, Watto
wtf Anakin, cool it with the antisemitism

i mean it can be both. the main abolitionist movement in britain based itself on a moral stance
Also why largely pre industrial Africa still practices it today, and holds more slaves than at any other point in history
>slaves
>in a world where droids exists
Why? What purpose could a human slave have?
The droids are too expensive?
Because they live in a shithole

As opposed to the upstanding slavers like Rabbi Watto

American franchise
>working slaves to death in mines and on rowboats was better than having them pick cotton and cook dinner because... um... because um... whitey bad??
Headcanon: Watto was given them in lieu of payment by a Hutt he couldn't refuse, and was completely out of his depth as a slave owner.
Except when he was pumping gallons of green alien cum into Anni’s Terran wholes
