"These aren't the droids you're looking for."

"Yeah, sure, whatever you say, man. I just work here."

Is it a bad deal though? Are credits worthless to money changers in this context?

I could see your perception of it changing based on how you watched the movies. If your first time watching the movies was in numerical order, you might come away thinking the Jedi mind trick doesn't work very well. It's not really explained until episode 4. IIRC, it's shown two times in the prequels, once against Watto (which fails) and once against a rando drug dealer in a bar (which works). It later works against Bib Fortuna but not Jabba.

The explanation of "works against the weak minded" doesn't come until you're several hours in. If the movies were produced in that order, it would almost come off like a cop out explanation.

Why not just trade the fancy vessel for a less fancy but functional vessel. I'm sure the queen could afford it.

Just for shits and giggles

They didn't need to mind trick the money exchanger, they just did it cause it's fun mind trick hand wave

The Republic in ep 1 is about to get in a war with the Trade Federation over taxes. If a group of space traders think they can win a fight against the galactic government, then maybe the economy is poor and Republic credits aren't trusted.

He's like of the first ever force ghosts. He's REALLY good at it.

so did Anakin the Orphan Crushing Machine, the bar for entry seems to be somewhere between normies and force-choking your babymom

He's not in trouble at all. Now... We should be able to take a little child blood without consent on sand world.

Palps strip mined Ilum so it's probably better that we don't send younglings there any more.

At least before the fall of the republic, it was apparently common for Jedi Padawans to be locked in a cave to face a trial against their deepest fear to get a Kyber Crystal to even make their lightsaber in the first place. If they failed to conquer their fear, they died.

Edit: apparently they don’t die per se, but are meant to believe they will and also if they fail, they might be stuck there. It’s weird and still not ethical

Disney happened, that's what.

The only thing that can stop a bad Jedi with a laser sword is a good Jedi with a laser sword

Hey oooooooooo

I think you mean about 42.0

Canonically the actual gamble was qui-gon vs Darth maul. If qui-gon had lived, the universe would have been fine. But he lost, so it was doomed.

The force on star wars is weird, because if you're strong enough in the force things are basically fated.

Anyway, that's the long reason why the background music during that fight is called "The Duel of Fates".

This is canon now, great answer 😄

I now know more about the Philippines

'Shut the fuck up!'

That’s fair. But alas.

Take your blasted midichlorians and your ridiculous child actor and get off my greatest film of human history!
