That is not the same. He used his abilities to outwit KNOWN enemies. For
all QGJ knew, Watto might have been the commander of a whole army of little
blue freaks that were going to overthrow the Trade Federation.

QGJ: Hmmm, this little blue flying freak won't let me have the parts I

(in this case) he is an innocent bystander.
