They should hire these flying israelites to guard important trade federation ships and buildings so they can sniff out jedis
>wanting a flop nosed scheming bag of skin like that on your ship
No thanks, I'll take my chances with the jedi
Watto farts multiple times over the course of the film
Pretty sure the Toydarians joined the Republic.
But then you will get israeliteed all the time. They cant turn it off even for allies.
>Quigon Coin will do fine
I hate the prequels but man, George making the greedy goblin aliens have a huge nose and Israeli accent is absolutely fricking based.
>I hate the prequels
Was it Jar Jar or Kid Vader that ruined your heckin childhood?
It was the bad movies with no character development.
Yeah, seems like a cop out too. I thought the force bound and penetrated everything, but apparently not the flying israelite goblins.
Actually, that makes sense now that I think about. They rejected God’s light.
>I thought the force bound and penetrated everything
Ben explicitly states that it only works on the weak minded
Yeah but Watto says straight up “this doesn’t work on Toydarians” implying his entire race is immune.
the better question is why a wise jedi master didn't know that toydarians are immune to mind tricks. seems like day one stuff at the jedi academy
>implying quigon didn't know toydarians are resistant against mindtricks
>implying it wasn't just quigon doing what he loves most, gambling when the stakes are high to see if he could pull it off
Quigon was an addict. There's a reason he had such a look of surprise and regret when maul stabbed him. The whole fight was contrived as a work but it went shoot and that twinge of regret you see on his face is him realizing all his illgotten gambling winnings that he buried deep underground in the deserts of tatooine will be lost forever because he sure as shit isn't going to spill the beans and let someone else take it all while he's forced to watch as a force ghost.
He had never met one before.
Yeh, Nazi's and israelites just like Indiana Jones
So, how could he resist mind tricks?
They didn't really want Darth's slave mum to be hanging around them anyway.
Cause mind tricks only work on the weak minded, and Watto has the mind of a merchant.
No tricks could force the israelite goblin to hand over money. They would probably snap out of it from the sense of loss
because the audience would ask why 'doesnt he use a jedi mind trick to get what he wants?'
Lucas solved this problem in the most basic way that is in keeping with the other first-draft ideas in the phantom menace
He already did it with Jabba in RotJ when Luke asked him to release Han
Qui-Gon was an Anglo
>tries to pay with crypto and paper money post collapse
Does force ghost of qui Jin watch when Annie was fricking princess Portman in the pussy? What do they even do when there's nothing happening in the plot? Do they have their own force ghost cantina to hang out it?
>canadian dollars will do fine
NOoo, THEY WON'T
But why didn't he just go to another dealer, then use the mind trick to swap out credits for currency Watto would accept?
They kept it small, so no onlookers. Also, they weren't allowed to interfere with anything, like Star Trek ships on other planets, so they would've denied freeing the slave.
The Republic, for all its claims to legitimacy as a “galactic” government (which really just means the Core, Inner Rim, and some Mid Rim in typical arrogance) fell apart over half a dozen times, lending blatant instability to their domain and their control and regulation of finance among the constituents of galactic banking. Naturally the Republic currency is strong within the Core worlds, grown bloated and fatter than the most indolent Hutt, but their credit is only good while the underlying governmental system backing the currency remains stable. This is a laughable notion, given the clear evidence of multiple refoundings, reorganisations, reformations, and crisis events affecting the function of Republic space, and that is without mentioning the corrupt Banking Clan. As a result, we can say, confidently, that the disaster that is Republic crisis management clearly lends the Republic credit/datary an inherent instability.
But not all is lost. Unlike its significantly more volatile fellow, Huttbux are backed by the governing body of literally the oldest contiguous civilisation ever to exist within the confines of the galaxy, reigning unconquered in the realm of the Greater Bootana Hutta for, as of The Phantom Menace, over twenty-five thousand years (which is also longer, I might add, than even the oldest date of the Republic's founding), and doing so while commanding soft and hard power in their own territory as well as across the Outer Rim (and much of the Mid Rim as well). Truly, the Hutt peggat is more stable than land or even gold.
Watto wasn't being a dick when he denied Qui-Gon a trade in Republic credits. He was a prescient understander and investor in his own financial security, knowing that the republic-of-the-day credits pushed by the tourist cannot stand against a currency that has maintained its validity for a thousand generations without surcease.
This scene undermines the surprise of seeing Obi-Wan tell the Stormtroopers "These aren't the droids you're looking for" for the first time, as well as Jabba's appearance ruining the buildup to his first appearance just like the Special Edition of A New Hope.
Tattooine is a wild west planet. Whatever was stopping Anakin's mother from just running away or her family coming around and killing Watto?
Also why weren't the Jedi going around the galaxy freeing slaves? What were they doing for the 1000 years between fighting the Sith?
The Jedi embedded themselves too deep into the Rebpulic's politics. They don't do anything unless the Senate tells them to, and the Republic has no influence on Tatooine.
The Hutts, Anon, they run the planet like mobsters. Watto would just tell them that a Jedi stole his slaves and the Hutts would then start shit with the Republic.
That's the whole point of their depiction in the prequels. The clone wars actually made them useful again, they were sitting in temples huffing their own farts in peacetime. And even then in the clone wars many jedi still remained completely moronic and complacent. The most powerful jedi yoda had zero fricking clue whatsoever that a sith lord had an office down the hall from him. They're fricking stupid and their order makes no sense. Even obi wan adheres too much to their shit codes.
Killing Watto is an antisemitic hate crime.
Toydarians claim the Old Republic incinerated 6 billion of them in the Toydocaust and keep making movies about it so nobody questions it.

There are more horrifying fates for those who resist.
literal perfect woman
This is the kinda malicious israeli shit you’d never see in lucas’ star wars
I absolutely fricking agree with your post.
This is how they see people, as mindless slaves.
This is demonic and not Star Wars. This is for a horror movie.
Frick the israelites.
sure
A guy whose brain is connected to Cloud City’s central computer which allows him to communicate directly with the city's computer network vs a girl whose brain was discarded in a trashbin and now serves as some soulless husk with a computer for brains, not comparable at all mr. Shekelbergstein
>Guy named after a lobotomy definitely isn't lobotomized
pressing post in a moronic thread
Lobot's new cybernetic implants increased his intelligence dramatically. He could communicate with the city's central computer at all times, controlling issues of bureaucracy, law enforcement, computer programming, repair and security, as well as the communication systems, repulsorlifts, and life-support systems. In many ways, Lobot was Cloud City—he was the true power behind its everyday operations, whereas the Baron Administrator served that role to the public's face. In the past, running the city's computer took dozens of specialists. Now, Lobot could fulfill the duties of many instantly.
The only negative side effect was that his speech centers deteriorated under the neural pathways to his brain. While he retained the ability to speak, his speech was reduced to minimal, infrequent sentences. Regardless, he rarely felt the need to speak, for he could fulfill his duties without verbal communication.
Amazing that Disney beat Games Workshop to having the first live action servitor.
The Hutts are literally stronger than the republic. Even the empire didn’t frick with them.
I distinctly remember them talking about having bombs in their neck or some shit during the movie.
Yeah, the scene where Anakin, Shmi and the others are talking around the dinner table. Anakin says he is working on a device to locate the bombs in the body.
>any attempt to escape...
>...and they blow you up. BOOM
>how wude
>zimbabwe nickels will do fine
No, they won't
if he wanted to jedi trick him into accepting worthless money, why didn't he just steal the part?
I actually feel like mind-controlling someone to take advantage of them is worse than just robbing them with physical force. Think about it - would you rather be robbed of your physical possessions or robbed of your mind?
And Jedi are supposed to be the good guys! Oh yeah I forgot, Watto owns slaves and therefore he's a piece of shit that deserves all the bad things that happen to him; despite him not being responsible personally for the slave system, treating Anakin well and not even talking to Smee or expecting anything from her.
>dogecoins will do fine
>brainwashing someone is ok
>using the threat of violence is bad
jedis are fricking moronic
Actually mind tricks are viewed negatively by the Jedi Order unless done to prevent conflict.
Which piece of EU garbage mentions this? The movies certainly don't.
I can’t really give a specific source because this is years of accumulated knowledge. But you should know mind tricks wear off pretty fast as well, you can’t keep their minds changed forever.
