Watto honestly seemed to treat Anakin and his mother pretty decently for slaves.

Why didn't the Jedi ever come back and get Anakin's mother out of slavery instead of letting her get kidnapped and raped to death by sand people thus preventing Anakin's turn to the dark side?

Watto entered the race, using “Qui-gon’s” pod. Why would that be suspicious? The implication in the movie is he’s entered several races before

He liked him, as one can like a slightly abusive father figure. AOTC already shows him returning and facing his old dad, such as he was.

Jedi could've easily freed her and let her set a new life on a decent planet and hidden it from Anakin so he wouldn't form a bond to his mother but he would know she was free and safe

The money changer is a relative of Watto's
>>
>>220403495
Better question: Why didn't he just gamble with Watto in the first place and then Jedi-kike the space dice?

Or if Watto wouldn't gamble and Qui-Gon has no qualms about fucking people over like that anyway, just go to the nearest gambling joint and make a fuck-tonne of money, then come back and pay Watto in space-pesos or whatever the fuck he wanted.

Jedi know how quickly you can compound shit if you can be certain of the outcome right?:

You the audience know there’s a Sith after them. The characters didn’t until later in the movie when Maul attacks them. As far as they know nobody with any affiliation with the Federation they are running from is on the planet. Going to the race didn’t risk their cover with the knowledge they had.

Slavery didn't seem to be frowned upon in SW universe.It's part of the social structure, it's just bad luck.
>>
>>220403922
Oh please you can't argue that going to a fucking major sporting event, in the fucking line of sight of everyone, is not conspicuous but also think selling their ship is too conspicuous. Not to mention regardless of whether the characters know a sith is tracking them, as the audience we do know Maul is looking for them and recognize that Maul should be looking for them at the Pod Race. Otherwise Maul comes off as a complete retard for not looking for them at the one event that has the most people on world in attendance.
>>
>>220404924
He was literally going to steal the hyperdrive from Watto using a mindtrick.
How is that any different fromgoing yo the Hutt casino and betting big or just mind tricking one of the pay out officials? Hell he could have done that at the podrace and no one would know for awhile anything was missing given the amount of money being exchanged.
>>
>>220403495
Why didn't he just cut Watto in half, storm Jabba's palace, kill him and lead a slave uprising across Tatooine?
>>
>>220403879
This. He was already a half-step above being a bum by Attack of the Clones, even had to sell off Shmi to Lars just to make ends meet. Plus, like other anon said, he never seemed particularly abusive to either of them, they even had their own apartment.

That said, I still fail to understand how slaves still hold any value in the Star Wars universe when droids are widely available everywhere, even on shithole backwaters like Tatooine.

Watto didn't have any ships. He owns a junkyard, not a hanger bay.
>>
>>220403728
Tattoine is not a part of the republic and thus the jedi aren't allowed to interfere with non-member countries' politics. Same reason why Europe doesn't help Ukraine fight against Russia directly.
>>
>>220404882
Watto is just an innocent businessman who partakes in shady activities. You can't just take someone's life for that.
>>
>>220405829
because Tattoine has a standing military and will go after the Jedi.

>>220405516
He wasn't going to steal it, he was going to pay for it in republic credits, which Watto wouldn't take.

>>220407166
>jedi aren't allowed
They regularly break the rules as it suits them. If Qui Gon killed watto to "free the slaves", no one on the Jedi Council would give a fuck as long as he has this fig leaf of good intention. We can only conclude in universe that Qui Gon was simply a thrill seeker and was looking for amusement when he made that bet with Watto. Had the he lost the bet, he would just taken what he wanted from Watto anyway.
>>
>>220403571
But the Queen is Jewish. They wouldn't kidnap one of their owns.
>>
>>220407325
they make judgement calls and maybe will make immoral ones if needed in the moment but going and freeing a slave from a distant plantet is not something that is an immediate action.

Also he would've had to go travel back there and the council isn't going to allow him to travel to an independent planet for a rogue mission.

You do realize forcing someone to take a worthless currency in exchange for something is theft right? If that's too fucking hard to understand think of it like this. If I put a gun to your head and told you to take monopoly money for a car you were selling that would be theft regardless of the fact I paid you anything. I coerced you to take a deal against your will. That is theft.

>>220407401
>freeing a slave from a distant plantet is not something that is an immediate action.
Unless that slave is Anakin... Jinny is just a fucking hypocrite
>>
>>220407590
he was racing for him and was force sentisitve so it was necessary. Plus he was freed in a deal and not through violence or immoral ways. If you go back and free his mother then at that point you're showing favoritism and that just leads to corruption. There's probably hundreds of thousands of slaves in Tatooine so what do you do with them?
>>
>>220407703
Or maybe.... he could just come back for Anakin and Shmi when his mission is over and save everyone the fucking head ache? Where's Anakin going to go? Not to mention it gives him an excuse to go back and buy Shmi with Annie.

Because cheap droids suck. They're dumb and clumsy. You literally have to delete their memories and re-teach them how to do their job periodically because they go crazy if you don't.

why would watto say republic currency is worthless despite the republic ruling the vast majority of the galaxy, why would watto even have slaves for physical labor when driods are so readily available and easy to make that a literal slave kid can make one in his free time, why would any of them even bother with trying to buy one when they could have just found some way to contact the jedi and ask for a ride
>>
>>220403728
Because the Jedi don't care. They're space monks who forego such attachments. Plus they'd already done Shmi a huge favor by freeing her son and giving him a future.

>>
>>220408355
>why would watto say republic currency is worthless despite the republic ruling the vast majority of the galaxy
Because he's on a planet way outside of the Republic that doesn't see a lot of Republic traffic. There's probably a guy somewhere in town that will change money, but I'd bet his conversion rates are bullshit and a space jew like Watto doesn't want to get double jewed.
>why would watto even have slaves for physical labor when driods are so readily available and easy to make that a literal slave kid can make one in his free time
Good droids are more expensive than slaves and cheap droids are worse than slaves at everything except their super specific task. Yeah, Anakin built a droid from scrap. And that thing was fucking useless for anything besides translation and pushing a broom.
>why would any of them even bother with trying to buy one when they could have just found some way to contact the jedi and ask for a ride

while its not a fully pay out, a used car will pay off a decent portion for a new car, plus in ops case they are paying with a top of the line ship which should be more than enough to trade in a new ship and then some
>>
>>220408355
>why would watto say republic currency is worthless despite the republic ruling the vast majority of the galaxy,
Tattoine is independant and not part of the republic so the currency is useless there.
>why would watto even have slaves for physical labor when driods are so readily available
droids are pretty clunky and probably can only do one task each. Humans can do everything and are likely cheaper than droids.
>why would any of them even bother with trying to buy one when they could have just found some way to contact the jedi and ask for a ride
Jedi can't come and interfere with non-republic matters unless it's a danger to everyone else. Coming and stealing slaves would piss off the planet's rulers.
>>
>>220403495
They had enough equipment and the broken drive on their ship to trade for it.
>>
>>220408577
>that doesn't get a lot of republic traffic
multiple nations don't get a lot of traffic from places like the US, EU, and China but are more than happy to trade in the perspectice curriencies each one has due to how many companies use them to begin wtih, if anything its more than likely just to even run his shop he would have republic based suppliers
>good driods are more expensive
I really doubt this considering how plentiful driods are to the point you can make literal armies of them including the support staff being driods, even today with far more limited technology with robots being things that can only function on limited code have already replaced large portions of the workforce, there is no way in star wars for a driod to be more expensive
>take longer
I really doubt just finding a space phone would take longer than trying to bargin with a merchant, help a kid make his own pod, wait for the race, and then finish said race
>>
>>220408608
It's a top of the line ship, but it's also broken and it's just gonna be sitting on your lot until you can buy the parts off Watto. Like, imagine being a used car dealer in Afghanistan or whatever and some white dude rolls up out of nowhere with a Porsche with a busted transmission and says he wants to trade it in for a Toyota or some shit, promising that the jew asshole down the street totally has a replacement Porsche transmission but wouldn't accept USD.
>>
>>220403713
Well the obvious reason is that beaten, starved and mostly unhappy slaves. CAN'T FUCKING WORK.
Fiction about "brutality" has really cultured what slave life was actually about. The nigger whipper 4000 and brutal beatings and such were punishments yes.
But to slave owners, that is the merchandise.
You don't smash your own shit, that you have invested money in to, over petty tyrant shit. That most fiction seems to portray.
How the fuck can a slave push dirt bags up hill if you broke his legs last night?
I remember them having a line about them having a collar on that keeps them in their work area's, if they cross a boundary it explodes.
>>
The better question is how the fuck it's in any way more sustainable to use human slaves over droids? It doesn't make any fucking sense.

The droid army was literally a product of multiple megacorps pooling their funds for years and years. And the battle droids fucking sucked anyway. The droid army outnumbered the clones like 10:1 (or more depending on your source) and they were evenly matched.
>even today with far more limited technology with robots being things that can only function on limited code have already replaced large portions of the workforce
And yet somehow we still use Mexicans for all sorts of shit.
>there is no way in star wars for a driod to be more expensive
Like I said, you can either have a good droid or a cheap droid. You want a droid that's as smart and capable as a person, then it's gonna cost you. If you want a cheap droid, you're gonna get a slow retard droid.
>>
>>220408949
my impression is the planet is technologically antiquated. the whole planet is a junk heap in the middle of the desert. they dont seem to have enough physical parts for such machinations.

>>
>>220409001
I find it really amusing that you had all of the megacorps pooling resources. Yet The best they could mass produce was the dumb B1s.
By the middle part of the Clone Wars these things were just being mowed down in the 1000s a second.

I do not think Palpatine needed to use Sith powers to undermine them.
He just bet on how cheep and stupid they are.
It does put in perspective that Megacorps can only mass produce that level in total war.
So having Tatooine almost devoid of droids that were not broken beyond repair or smart enough to do the work. Does track for a dirt poor out of republic world that is basically run by a mafia.

It wasn't worthless to Qui-Gonn, which is why he wanted to pay for it. It was only worthless to Watto, which is why he wouldn't sell it. If I came up to you and said
>here, let me buy a car off you, I'll pay you in platinum ore
is that theft just because the payment is effectively useless to you? It still holds value, it's just that it's far too much effort for you to get the value from it.

>the republic ruling the vast majority of the galaxy
REMINDER: The Republic, for all its claims to legitimacy as a “galactic” government (which really just means the Core, Inner Rim, and some Mid Rim) 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 Greater Bootana Hutta for, as of The Phantom Menace, over twenty-five thousand years (longer than 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 (based on actual value, not fiat) 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.

Monopoly money isn't real. Republic Credits are a galaxy wide currency that should have been readily available for exchange on a planet that presumably does at least some business with the Republic.
All sorts of shithole South American countries will take US Dollars because they are worth more within the community than local currency.

Jedi are not necessarily known unless they explicitly make themselves know somehow...like brandishing a light saber etc. Watto didnt immediately jump to the fact that Qui gon was an actual Jedi even though he tried a mind trick.

That's not how Greek tragedy works or what it's about.

Oedipus is a tragedy not because him marrying his mother and killing his father, that has already happened, that's done, the horror is a matter of the problem of him prying into the truth of this. He could stop and remain ignorant of the truth, and go on with his life not knowing, but he goes mad trying to find out what happened and in the process discovers what he has done. The matter of trying to avoid an inevitability is part of the background, it isn't the problem the play concerns itself with or what makes it tragic.

The jedi stance on slavery always bothered me. Really there is no logical answer for why they didn't take Anakin's mother and give her a place to live on Coruscant or other Republic place. Especially when she's the mother of their CHOSEN ONE.

>>220415304
It's common sense to figure out the kid is not gonna focus too well when he knows his mom is out there a slave. The Jedi have all the resources to get her a safe place but they don't. That's not lack of attachment, that's pure stupidity and lack of foresight.
>>
>>220415333
Checked, also the movies do establish that the Jedi do kind of have their heads up their asses so they're not thinking of that, they're just going "damn this kid is jedi jesus and OH SHIT IS THAT A SITH, FUCK".
>>
>>220415244
Because the Jedi in the prequels are part of an outdated and ineffective system. The slaves are outside of their jurisdiction and they'd rather teach Anakin a lesson about how he needs to give up attachments than personally save his mom. Everybody else had to say goodbye to their families forever, so I assume they expected the same from anakin

In all seriousness, it was less than 10 years between phantom and aotc, even Anakin thought he had time until he started getting visions. She wasn't really even mistreated by watto, and until she got TUSKEN'D she was actually living a rather comfortable life on a wealthy farm. Anakin was already planning to slip away and save her when he got into a better position

To be fair, they were quite cautious about training him since he was too old. They were correct in that his training wasnt sufficient to prevent his fall to the darkside. However, a big part of their problem is being autist monk is not really compatible with being a human being. This is explored more in the EU where Luke, Kyle Katarn etc dont operate like classic monk Jedi
>>
>>220403495
There is a question before that. Why just take Watto's word he is the only one with the parts. He could be, but there is no reason to trust a any trader, least of all one on a shitheap like Tatooine.

First of all that has nothing to do with the analogy. Secondly we don't know he was attempting to steal. He attempted to pay but was denied, he then tried to force him to take his currency.

The Jedi follow a strict code to refrain from acts of violence, aggression, and selfishness.

Luke being too old made sense. He was an adult that had his mind set after joining the Rebellion. He had prior obligations. Yoda saying he was too old made sense.

They would have no idea if that was going to be the case. Even so it would be better for Han and Lando to both be held in the same location so that they could be freed together. That's when they could send in Leia with Chewie and then break everyone out at once with smuggled weaponry.

the greatest implication here is that the jedi systemically expelled all alien races that were imune to their mind tricks into the outer rim thereby indirectly creating the slavery system anakin fell victim to.

So if credits were no good what does Tattooine use? There's bars and stuff, do they also use a barter sustem? What did Luuke trade to get in?

Do you have any idea how hard it is to lie to a Jedi Master? If Qui Gon sensed any deception on Watto's part he would've called his bluff

They use Wupi Wupi. When Jar Jar was caught stealing food the store owner said:
>HEY! THOSE COST 12 WUPI WUPI!

Not long. She was cute and Watto was desperate for money

>>220403713
Why wouldn't he? Just because they're slaves doesn't mean that Watto is a bad person or is somehow morally obligated to hurt them. A slave can be treated quite well like how people are treated under the reign of a good king.
Most slaves are in slavery because they were faced with the choice of death due to wars, disease or starvation and instead opted by their own free will into slavery to avoid that fate. In effect the slaver saved their life.
Maybe Watto is a slaver with a heart of gold.

To be fair, they never personally had to deal with a padawan that was taken in old and with baggage, nor do they themselves know what it's like to have real attachments and suffer greatly over them. As all then current Jedi were all taken as babies and trained without attachments.
All the Jedi were just warned about the dangers but never experienced someone like Anaki first hand, because they're weird warrior monks.

>I remember them having a line about them having a collar on that keeps them in their work area's, if they cross a boundary it explodes.
It was an implant, and the way Anakin phrases it makes it sound like it's not an automatic system, but rather they're tracked and if they escape they *can* be blown up.

My impression of Watto is that he wouldn't actually have pushed the button if they called the bluff and made a run for it. He might hire bounty hunters to bring them back alive but he doesn't come off like a big enough asshole to kill them out of spite.

Fiction depicts severe punishment when slaves tried to escape or rebelled or when one specific slave owner was a sadistic piece of shit who got off on being abusive, and even then more serious injuries weren’t shown to be common place.

People who love whining about this shit always want to downplay slavery and make it no big deal because they’re driven by an agenda to whitewash history
>>
>>220415333
That would go against the Jedi way.
>>
>>220418552
The Jedi by rule only take in much younger than Anakin, specifically because they know that after a certain age the child starts to develop too strong attachments and emotional bonds and that interferes with the training to reject such behaviour and raises the likelihood of becoming susceptible to the dark side.

unfortunately he was a defenseless and unarmed. the Jedi aren't going to chop someone down like that. now if he decided to pull out a blaster all bets are off

>Did you spill that drink? HOW FUCKIN DARE YOU NIGGER!
>I order you to be beaten within an inch of your life so you are off work for 6 weeks while your legs heal.
It is cartoon villainy bro in a propaganda effort.
Most slave owners could reason. It is only other people with an agenda to demonize them all that seem to see no shades of gray here.
I would bet you believe feudal lords went around just raping and abusing the peasants that feed them as well right?
You could find 1 or 2 within history sure. But they never had power long, before another lord called them out invaded and made them give up their lands and titles.

Why DID the supposedly honorable peacekeeper jedi knights try to mind control a decent, hard working business owner?

Scandinavian slaves literally lived with their owners, ate well and were given opportunity to buy their freedom with a few years of work. Jews retconned American slavery to incite race war. They don’t even hide it

>Thinks you can force people to work for free forever without constant violence.
Cartoonish cruelty is a necessity for slavery, because the minute the slave isn't in a constant state of terror they slit your throat in the night.

Yoda never told him he had to kill Vader. Only confront him, and when he did, he would be a Jedi. Kenobi is the one saying he needs to kill Vader.

Yoda did say he should be careful about going to try and help his friends because it was a trap (and even Yoda couldn't see their fate, because the future is always in motion) and Yoda was right. It was a trap, and Luke walked into it. He wasn't ready, he got his fucking hand cut off annd the shit kicked through him, FAILED to help (they would have escaped without him, Lando was already getting them free), and he was so fucked up by the revelation of something he wasn't ready to know that he never went back to finish his training. At which point Yoda is sad, he calls it unfortunate not because he didn't kill Vader or because Luke knows the truth, but because Luke rushed to face him and wasn't ready for the burden. Which he was, again, right about.

At that point, Luke is still an incomplete Jedi, but Yoda is on his deathbed and he can't hang on any longer, so he just has to give Luke best wishes and hope what Luke does have is enough.

Fair enough. I stand corrected and I yield.

So how many throats have you slit?

if Vader wasn’t distracted by Luke, Lando wouldn’t have been able to do a damn thing.

I can get over the Jedi not caring about her. It's fucking crazy that Padme didn't go back and free her though. She even personally took shelter in Shmi's house during a sandstorm for fucks sake. It's not like she couldn't afford it either, or that Watto would have some reason not to sell her
