Pretty spacious accommodation for a slave, enough discretionary income to pursue robotics and pod-racing. How is this meant to be traumatic? The totally-not-a-Jew-stand-in insectoid is pretty generous all things considered

Doesn't the kikebug rape his mom?
>>220917249No, the sandpeople do. The same sandpeople who are innocent, good and dindu nuffin in the Boba Fett show.
What makes them a slave specifically? Seems like they have enough freedom to simply walk away and board a ship and get the fuck out of there at their own discretion.I don't see Watto exerting influence off-planet or whatever slave hodge podge system they have going on.Unless there's a bomb implanted in them it's kinda toothless.And it's not any kind of sensor or tracking device either since Anakin was piloting that pod racer pretty far outside of city limits.If nothing else they can pay a smuggler to give them passage off planet, can't imagine there's a shortage of them there.
>>220917296>Unless there's a bomb implanted in them it's kinda toothless.>And it's not any kind of sensor or tracking device either since Anakin was piloting that pod racer pretty far outside of city limits.It's explained in this very scene, all the slaves have bombs somewhere inside them that will detonate if they try to escape and Anakin says he was working on a scanner to try and locate his.
>tfw two grown ass gay men and a concubine of some sort appear in your home and tell you your son is special and they're taking him for training to be a superhero "somewhere else" using some bullshit "midichlorian" measurement they invented on the spot.Should've told them to fuck off, honestly, and Anakin would've been better for it.
>>220917296Likely they're registered as a slave. They probably can't profit off any work they do, it all goes to their master. So getting smuggled out likely would never happen since they don't have the money to pay anybody. I doubt there are any slave rights organizations trying to underground railroad them away, nobody cares. Its a backwater desert planet with its own rules. People are under the assumption that anyone can just go anytime they please. The main characters in the movies have access to starships, serious money and organizations backing them. The average pleb walking around doesn't. Hell, even with all that Quigon still had to bet everything on a kid winning a race just to get the part he needed for the ship
>>220917331This seems like something any kind of smuggler would easily circumvent and/or disable.
>>220917194slavery was never really as bad as modern leftism wants you to believe. it's marginally worse than regular normie life, considering the state of technology at the time.there is a reason we call them wage slaves.
>>220917194>enough discretionary income to pursue robotics and pod-racingAnon he works in a repair shop where his job is to fix engines and robots, and his boss forces him to podrace. I sure hope you were only pretending to be retarded.
>>220917377Well you're contradicting yourself.You're saying it's a "backwater planet with its own rules" so what does it matter once they're off planet. Clearly the "slave register" is just on a local level and frankly their entire environment doesn't look like they're keeping track of that properly since slaves are just free to do whatever they want anyway. I bet if they kill Watto and stuff him in a fridge nobody would know or care.
>>220917396He loves pod racing.
>>220917296>Unless there's a bomb implanted in themMaybe you should put down your phone when you watch movies.
>>220917382Assuming the bombs are like in Running Man, they'd have to disable a sensor grid to get someone out or try removing it beforehand (thats again assuming that it doesn't have an anti-tamper mechanism or something). Not alot of people would want to fuck with the Hutts in the first place I guess anyway.
>>220917363palpatine would have taken over the whole galaxy and never been stopped then :(
>>220917194The wifi sucked
>>220917382>bro just pay a black market surgeon slash bomb defusal expert millions you don't have to do an operation that might kill both of you
>>220917296this retard is why every modern movie explains every plot point ten times

>>220917384she's more like an indentured servant
>>220917194>>220917331I never saw this movie and probably never will but seriously they plant bombs wtf? That’s the dumbest shit I ever heard
>>220917810It's just an explanation as to why they simply don't just fuck off one day. It's the same idea as the Running Man intro.
>the mudhut isn't small enough for me to believe that they are slaves
>>220917194This isn't abnormal. In the south, plenty of slaves had their own small homes on the estate. In Western countries, being a slave was just the modern equivalent of working retail and having to live with your parents/a roommate.
>>2209171941. Watto personally likes the Skywalkers and they seem to get along with him well enough2. Slaves are expensive and somewhat hard to come by, treating them like shit accomplishes nothing3. Anakin works at a junk shop, he can take home any seemingly worthless thing destined for the garbage masher
>>220917296Even if they could, why would they want to? They have a home and someone providing for them. Are they really going to fare better on a strange planet where they have no friends and no resources? The ethics of the institution itself aside, slavery isn’t always a raw deal for the slave.
