the jedi are homosexual hypocrites
Qui-Gon was "grey" or whatever so it's ok
I liked the part where Qui Gon the Grey came back as Qui Gon the White
I didn't like how Disney made him come back as Qui Gon the black though. His rap scene, while kino, very much confused me
I'm not sure what George was thinking when he had Yoda call him a "black bastard"
It was foretelling of Quigons fall to a misunderstood youth from a bad planet, just trying to make ends meet. Product of the star system.
You need to go back.
You're no fun.
Qui Gon the White? Qui Gon the Fool!
I liked the part where Qui Gon reached for his lightsaber when Windu was near by.
He was the only pure and sovlpilled Jedi in tune with the force. The rest of them, especially those on the council, were administrative larpers and far closer to being "grey" than he was.
Lol, more like Qui-gon was a fricking idiot. He kinda just gives up on the mind trick as soon as it doesn't work on Watto. But surely he could have just wandered around town a little more, and found a handfull of weak minded idiots to exchange the money for him.
he really wanted a gold standard
>Credits WILL do fine you worthless israelite facsimile
Jesus, George.
What the frick? He doesn't say that.
You need to stop watching the sanitised Disney+ version and get your hands on the theatrical.
maclunkey
I still don't understand why Watto wouldn't take Republic credits. Surely there's someone at the spaceport who would be willing to do an exchange. The Republic represented maybe half of the galaxy, it's going to have a major trade power in its currency.
He lived in a shit hole city of a shit hole planet on the edge of the Republic. Most of what he traded in was likely illegal. People want to barter for things which have tangible value, not the galaxyhomosexual mark of the beast digital currency
Taxes
it's like trying to pay someone on the Navajo reservation using Euros. Sure, technically you could go out of your way to exchange for USD but why do all the legwork for some random dude? Qui-Gon should've been the one to seek out a currency exchange.
Also, accepting a foreign currency would've messed up Watto's tax returns for that fiscal year
Why didn't Qui-gon just steal what they needed? He was okay with hypnotizing him into taking the deal (which is basically already stealing), he was okay with rigging the dice roll, but then stealing from a frickin slave master is over the line?
>Surely there's someone at the spaceport who would be willing to do an exchange.
why should wayto absorb the cost of doing this exchange? I can't go into my local shop and try to pay with foreign currency then when told they don't accept that foreign currency I can't just say 'uh are you stupid m8? there is a bureau de change over there'
>Surely there's someone at the spaceport who would be willing to do an exchange
why didn't qui gon do the exchange
because they are tracable, tatooine pays no taxes you know, they are criminals, thats obvious but Lucas had too much fayth in the audience imagination
We say Rhodesia here don’t we?
No, but one day we will again
How the frick does the force not work on them?
The whole race thing was moronic anyways.
It was made extremely clear in the OT it works on the **weak minded**
Yeah, some dumb grunt ST that takes orders all day, you get get waved through.
It was never ment to work on every human either.
War to should just be considered strong minded business owner. He didn’t need to me racially immune, (not it didn’t work on Jabba either)
>everything is a universal race thing
why is george so moronic
watto is actually an inversion of this, his race are 100% composed of skilled warriors and he's the only hebrew shopkeeper among his kind
he was making a subtle point
Yes that israelites are too high IQ
>how does imaginary magic not work on imaginary alien?
Why didn't Qui-Gon just beat Watto to death with his cosh?
It was a wookie who raped his female friend, not a toydarian.
Also Qui Gon is a member of the Orange Order of Jedi, so he supports toydarians and their attempts to establish a homeland.
>You will give me a cosh and the directions to the nearest ghetto
what the FRICK did he mean by this?
cheated the dice at gambling too the prick watto should have been checking for the hand wavy thing after the jedi mind trick attempt
Pretty sure the dice was weighted, Watto was cheating.
Which is way he was so surprised when he lost the dice roll.
>weighted wooden dice
yes, they exist
Why did Watto think that Shmi was worth even 1/10th the price of what podracing Anakin would go for?
She’s got a pussy motherfricker. That shit is worth a lot
Show me the wookipedia article on Shmi's Pussy or I won't believe it.
Anakin exists. He came from somewhere, and I’m willing to bet it wasn’t her butthole.
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Shmi_Skywalker_Lars?so=search#shmi's_vegana
>pussy
>worth anything at all
He was in love with Shmi.
Why didn't he just kill him? That thing keeps a mother and her child as slaves. Why even try to bargain with someone like that?
>slaves
They had their own hour and got to go home “clock out” at the end of the day. He had so much free time he built a pod racer and a robot from scraps.
They were more like surfs than slaves
homie it's a sand planet, where you think they gonna be surfing? Lmao
>she doesn't know
Is not the way
watch Django Unchained to find out why you can't just steal a slave
Stealing things is for Black folk.
Slaves are legal lmAo
Also droids are basically slaves
>Republic credits are no good out here. I need something more real.
>Oh, more real?
>*waves hand*
>The actual death toll of the Toydarian Holocaust will do fine.
Holy shit George, that was a little too far don’t you think?
Why didn't Qui-Gon just go to a different person who would accept Republic credits? Or one that his mind tricks worked on? There was plenty of space traffic going in and out of Mos Espa.
He sensed a tight boyhole in need of indoctrination
But really it's quite easy to imagine the force was guiding him/he sensed something in Anakin
Watto was the only one who had the Toyota hyperdrive generator that Qui-Gon needed.
Yeah, but that ship isn't the only way off planet.
He could have just bought an entirely different ship from someone who accepted Republic credits.
Also: you're telling me in the whole Star Wars galax he can't go up the equivalent of a pay phone and call a cab to come pick them up ?
I confess I haven’t seen episode one in some time, but weren’t they trying to keep a low profile? Like, Amadala was a major political hostage if she got captured. They made a point of saying “no transmissions of any kind” or something, thus the whole Naboo Genocide broadcast to get her to signal Naboo and pinpoint her location.
>He could have just bought an entirely different ship from someone who accepted Republic credits.
They explain why this isn't an option, Obi-Wan says the Queen brought her whole wardrobe and they couldn't fit all her stupid dresses on a smaller ship
Spaceballs predicted the prequels twelve years ahead of time.
jewing a israelite isn't evil
>Goy attempting to outisraelite the israelite
>Unsurprisingly the israelite is immune to the weasely tricks
Lucas made a pretty accurate scene
>trying to outisraelite a israelite
>show up pretending to negotiate
>actually be assasins in disguise
This is the first time we see the Jedi, and we're supposed to take from this that they're the good guys?
Only an equal, or superior force can negotiate. Anything else is begging.
the aliens try to kill them before even meeting them dipshit. it's never implied that Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon are there to kill them, they are there to mediate an end to the siege
I dont care what people say, the prequels are good movies, i liked pod racing, i even liked darth jar jar.
Why didn't Qui Gon just use Republic Credits to purchase tangible goods and just buy Anakin and his mother? Lmao, I understand that the flying rat didn't want Republic Credits but that doesn't mean Qui Gon couldn't find another medium exchange. Also, why didn't they just come right back for Anakin's mom? She could've worked for the Senate as a maid or been on Naboo as a shopkeeper or something. Lmao, why didn't they come back for her? Shit is wild.
a better question is why the frick would the huts try to kill some literal who queen, especially one with jedi body guards, just sounds like waiting for a task force to beat his ass
What's wrong with her faaaaaaaaace
probably wondering if he is going to try anything funny with his ftm dick nose
The expression is fine, its probably very appropriate for the situation, but there's something else off about the face where she doesn't look like Padme/Natalie at all
she looks like she's Watto's distant cousin
it's a israelite thing
She is disgusted but she is doing what she has to do to save poor Anakin.
Why did she do it bros?
Nothing wrong here Incest is very part of star wars saga
>wasting such skills on making this
>wasting
No Watto!
Why didn't Qui-Gon just hire a smuggler to shoot Watto and steal his parts?
Assassins need to be paid in cash, not a republic credits which leave paper trails. Honestly, it’s like you’ve never put a hit on someone before.
Credits will do fine
Why didn't Qui Gon just fly to Mordor
What exactly did Shmi do for slave work? Every time we see her she's doing frickall at home or taking vacation time to watch a death race
Dont know, but we it's pretty obvious the sand people fricked her to death.
And the guy who "bought her freedom" was probably one of her clients who fell in love with her.
>What exactly did Shmi do for slave work? Every time we see her she's doing frickall at home or taking vacation time to watch a death race
You notice how their place is kinda full of other children, but no other mothers? Anikins mom was a midwife/babysitter. She took care of all the other prostitutesons and bastards while their moms were off sucking sandy wieners
>You notice how their place is kinda full of other children, but no other mothers
why would their mothers be shown playing in the streets with Anakin?
>live in an inter-galactic setting with space travel that takes you to places with different currency
>only bring one type of currency
even back to the future was smarter than that
the royals of naboo werent suposed to ever need to pay in anything else than credits
Oh yes, it was very silly of Padme to not carry Tatooine credits in the event their planet gets invaded by a trade organization, their ship gets damaged, and then having to land on Tatooine to fix the ship. What was she thinking!? Maybe she should invest in a time machine too.
>R2, invent time travel
It’s called gold, or fuel or another barderable high value thing
Palme should have just sold her pussy though.
A few days and nights upstairs in the bazaar and she could have got enough to pay watto
>sell your fuel for credits
>use credits to buy ship part
>use ship part to leave
>ship wont start; no fuel
Observably I am talking about plutonium chips or some other kind of fuel you carry in a suitcase
>lives in the US
>I should carry some Honduran lempira, just in case my plane gets diverted while going to Hawaii
Watto would screw anyone and everyone over for a dollar, plus he was a slave owner. Qui Gon sensed this and made his play. Watto deserved it, it’s not like he was good himself.
Watto bros..
TIL Maul is antisemitic
is this canon? and by canon I mean pre-disney EU
No, but that's where Filoni got Maul's robot legs from. He tried to pass it off as his own idea.
Isn't it funny that this single scene arguing about credits does more to make the universe feel alive than the entirety of the sequel trilogy.
It’s true.
That's because the disney trilogy will always be shitty fanfiction whose sole purpose is to extract maximum shekels from soilent midwits.
anakin amd ber mom being slaves was such bullshit writing, anamkn shoikdvr had a real dad who didnt pass the jedi test for being too old and now was a spice pilot full of regret and hating them jedis, with both Owen and Anaking always listening to his rants, that wouldve been better.
You alright bro?
The /druk/ thread is down the hall to the left
Why did they try to force her to sign a document? They might as well just forge the signature if they're going to force her.
Not like anyone would be able to tell the difference.
Heck, I have to put my signature on my credit card but nobody has ever checked that it's really mine
The whole point was to force a conflict, you babbling baboon.
>credits will do fine.
>no, they won't.
>credits WILL do fine.
>no, they won't! What, you think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? I'm a Toydarian, mind tricks don't work on me. Only money. No money, no parts, no deal!
>*a momentary pause. An uncharacteristically frustrated expression creeps across Qui-Gon's face, his cheeks flush red and his veins begin to pulse*
>*Qui-Gon force-pulls Watto toward him and grabs him by his limp, circumcised dick-beak*
>Listen up, you kosher winged demon. I'm broken down out here in this podunk shithole West Bank settlement of a planet. I don't want to be here, you don't want me here, and the sooner I get out of here the better it'll be for the both of us. Now, I can go all Space Mengele on your ass and slice off your limbs one by one while you scream and beg for mercy, or you can accept my legal tender and give me the god damned parts I fricking asked for!!
Wow. Lucas keeps getting crazier and crazier with these edits.
Bullshit, that one exchange could have shortened the movie to twenty minutes.
Why do people own slaves when droids exist
same reason slavery existed in 1860 when the cotton gin existed
You can't rape a machine
I think we both know why
Droids require maintenance and parts which might be hard to come by out in the middle of bumfrick nowhere. With slaves you just have to feed them and you're good.
Why do I feel like most of the posts in this thread are made by bots?
Because you are a paranoid schizo
Because you traded your meds for magic beans
You have magic beans?
OH N-
What became of Gardola.
I think Jango killed her in his video game.
Wait. I get it.
Shmee skywalker wasn't a virgin. She was raped by watto, but too ashamed to admit it (very typical for rape victims).
Anakin isn't space jesus, he's watto's son.
We're told that Watto bought both of them when Anakin was very young
well obviously
Trying to israelite another israelite is fine in civilized countries, they all deserve it innately
>Watto hovers like a fricking hummingbird instead of alighting on a comfy perch
wtf
Only money
