 | | Yet another EP1 nitpick —Richard Hrynyszyn
|
| | | Ok, i found another tiny little nitpick with the movie. When Qui-Gon first visits Watto to buy parts for the ship he tries the Jedi mind trick on Watto, who laughs at his feeble attempt. Yet later on in the film Watto rolls his "chance cube" to (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

| | | | | After QGJ tries the mind trick, Watto says "Do you think you're a Jedi or something?" I don't think he was really picking up on Qui-Gon's Jedi-ness. QG's statements weren't blatantly wierd, they could have been interpreted as a person trying to push (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

I took this to mean that Watto realized that QGJ was a jedi and was telling him that his powers would not work on his (...) (25 years ago, 25-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

While he did say that, I got the impression that Watto was inferring "Just in case you happen to be a Jedi, I'm immune, but I don't think you're a Jedi, because you strike me as being rather stupid and reckless."

| | | | | | (...) For the record, Toydarian. I have to say, the wording in that scene leaves me a little confused, too. Why would he embellish about mind tricks not working on him, *unless* he thought Qui-Gon was a Jedi? But if he thought Qui-GOn was a Jedi, (...) (25 years ago, 26-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

And if there's no defense against it, why aren't Jedi reviled everywhere? Better yet, why are the good (...) (25 years ago, 26-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

It seems that they work towards achieving 'good' but with a 'by any means (...) (25 years ago, 26-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)

Perhaps this is why people like Anakin and Luke can be (...) (25 years ago, 26-May-99, to lugnet.starwars)
