Who was in the wrong here?

Who was in the wrong here?

Qui-Gon for thinking he could mind trick a space Jew.

Jedi “Don’t pat thebspace Jew” for trying to cheat a space Jew, money was involved so the space Jew caught that shit.

Does anyone have a good comeback to Plinkett saying this whole scheme was overly complicated for no reason?

Why Jedi are allowed to scam humble spaceparts merchants? Sheev was right, Republic had it coming

How did Lucas get away with thi-? Oh never mind.

>bets the pod in exchange for the part
>bets the ship in exchange for anakin
idk what the fuck is complicated about that

Average OT fag is as smart as average capeshitter

I’d give him credit for trying to outdo the (((space merchant)))

I was thinking about that scene recently more and more and I don't know why but I started questioning Qui Quon actions here more and more. Was it morally correct to trick Watoo and cheat at the dice roll? How much does it says about his character?

>How much does it says about his character?
What you've never rigged a gambling game for winning a slave child to raise in your cult to be an assassin against the cults political rivals?

Why am I even alive, I'm not enjoying life to it's fullest.

>Tricking someone into selling you an expensive product for a worthless currency

Not exactly
>Anakin wants to help Quigon get the money for the part
>He can win it in the race
>They have no money to enter him in the race
>Quigon asks Watto to pay the entry fee for him
>If Anakin wins, Watto keeps the winnings minus the cost of the hyperdrive
>If Anakin loses, Watto gets Quigon's ship

Later, they bet again
>Quigon wagers the pod. If Anakin wins, Watto gets the pod in exchange for the freedom of Annie and his mom
>Watto says a pod isn't worth 2 slaves, wants to bet on which one he gets
>Watto rolls a dice, Quigon cheats and makes it so Anakin is freed

It's not that complicated, but it's admittedly too much for a brainlet. If they wanted to bitch about something being overcomplicated in TPM, Palpatine's plan is the real 4D chess.

You have it backwards
>bets the ship for the part
>bets the pod for Anakin

>even the people calling others brainlets trying to explain the bet are confused about it

yep. it was so simple.

Qui-gon tried to force useless currency down Watto's throat. When Watto refused to get fucked, Qui-gon tried to deprive him of his free will.
Watto did absolutely nothing wrong.

Qui-gon master was Dooku, so it makes sense he's morally questionable I guess. Dooku even says this to Obi-Wan.

>trying to outjew a jew
What did Qui Gon mean by this?

Plinkett obviously exaggerated the complexity of the bet for comedic effects. Come on guys, the editing gave it away.

A bald assertion isn't an argument. I've already refuted your representation based arguments. Give me something else.

Greedo

What I want to know is how many Toydarians are in that banking clan? Why were no Toydarians at the casino on Canto Blight? One would assume an entire species built on accumulation of currency might be found at a place like that, even if they're running it or providing other goods or services to the place.

Probably the guy involved up to his neck in a slave-trading economy.

This. Where do they draw the line? First they force people into accepting a form of currency that they do not want. Would it then be okay okay to force them to accept no currency at all? It's the same thing really when you think about it. Or how about forcing them to do something against their morals? Why not just force everybody to follow the Republic unquestioningly? The Jedi were absolute scum, enemies of freedom and mind rapists.

Toydarians are rather primitive and the bitches of the Hutts. Of course this is all in the EU which was erased by Mouse Wars so who knows?

Yea it actually seems like the "Muuns" are the Jews of the Galaxy. Toydarians in comparison seem more like gypsies.

These actually take place in TWO different scenes. First one:

WATTO : The boy tells me you wanta sponser hi insa race. You can't afford
parts. How can you do this? Not on Republic credits, I think. (he laughs)
QUI-GON : My ship will be the entry fee.

QUI-GON pulls a small object that looks like a watch out of his pocket, and
a hologram of the Naboo spacecraft appears about a foot long in front of
WATTO. He studies it.

WATTO : Not bad...not bad...a Nubian.
QUI-GON : It's in good order, except for the parts we need.
WATTO : ...but what would the boy ride? He smashed up my Pod in the last
race. It will take some time to fix it.

ANAKIN is embarrassed and steps forward.

ANAKIN : Ahhhh....it wasn't my fault really...Sebulba flashed me with his
vent ports. I actually saved the Pod...mostly.
WATTO : (laughing) That you did. The boy is good, no doubts there.
QUI-GON : I have...acquired a Pod in a game of chance. "The fastest ever
built."
WATTO : I hope you didn't kill anyone I know for it. (laughs) So, you
supply the Pod and the entry fee; I supply the boy. We split the winnings
fifty-fifty, I think.
QUI-GON : Fifty-fifty!?! If it's going to be fifty-fifty, I suggest you
front the cash for the entry. If we win, you keep all the winnings, minus
the cost of the parts I need...If we lose, you keep my ship.

WATTO thinks about this. ANAKIN tries not to be nervous.

QUI-GON : (Cont'd) Either way, you win.
WATTO : (subtitled) Deal! Yo bana pee ho-tah, meedee ya. (Your friend is a
follish one, methinks.)

And here is the second one:

WATTO : ...I want to see your spaceship the moment the race is over.
QUI-GON : Patienc, my blue friend. You'll have your winnings before the
suns set, and we'll be far away from here.
WATTO : Not if your ship belongs to me, I think...I warn you, no funny
business.
QUI-GON : You don't think Anakin will win?

WATTO stops before an orange racer. Sitting to one side, having his
shoulders and neck massaged by TWIN YOBANAS, is SEBULBA.

WATTO : Don't get me wrongo. I have great faith in the boy. He's a credit
to your race, but Sebulba there is going to win, I think.
QUI-GON : Why?
WATTO : He always wins. (laughs) I'm betting heavily on Sebulba.
QUI-GON : I'll take that bet.
WATTO : (suddenly stops laughing) What??!! What do you mean?
QUI-GON : I'll wager my new racing pod against...say...the boy and his
mother.
WATTO : A Pod for slaves. I don't think so...well, poerhaps. Just one...the
mother, maybe...the boy isn't for sale.
QUI-GON : The boy is small, he can't be worth much.

WATTO shakes his head.

QUI-GON : (Cont'd) For the fastest Pod ever built?!

WATTO shakes his head again.

QUI-GON : (Cont'd) Both, or no bet.
WATTO : No Pod's worth two slaves...not by a long shot...one slave or
nothing.
QUI-GON : The boy, then...

WATTO pulls out a small cube from his pocket.

WATTO : We'll let fate decide. Blue it's the boy, red his mother...

Honestly, it's not that complicated especially since its two different scenes

I'm confused. Where did they get the pod again?

anakin built it because building formula 1 cars is something 9 year olds with no education or money do apparently

In the second bet, what would Watto get if Anakin loses? It seems like he is putting up Anakin's freedom for nothing in return. And it's not the pod, because Watto would get the pod if Anakin wins.

In a bet you either win or lose.

Qui-Gon was too generous in the first bet, gave Watto a win-win scenario, but the second was more of a classic bet.

how the fuck can a literal bug own human slaves?
