Guests
Notes
Film
- Starts with Watto informing Qui-Gon that his Republic Credits are no good, and ends with the gang leaving Watto's shop.
- A lot of haggling in this minute.
- Matt's favorite line "Mind tricks don'ta work on me. Only money."
Podcast
- Watto is a flying racist stereotype, but if you put that aside he's a pretty good character and is funny in this scene.
- Does Watto know Qui-Gon IS a Jedi, or does he think he's just trying to act like one?
- There are thousands of Jedi across the galaxy; how rare would it be to see one on a backwater like Tatooine?
- Qui-Gon's embarrassed look when he gets busted.
- Why doesn't Watto take Republic credits? They're probably worth more here on Tatooine.
- Everybody in this scene is at their worst: Jar Jar is going overboard on the physical "comedy", and Anakin is telling Padmé his unsolicited life story.
- When Qui-Gon and Watto come back in, she was probably like Save me. Save me!
- Jar Jar's crashing sounds off-screen.
- Alex admits that if he had been a ten-year-old when this movie came out, he would want to have played as Jar Jar.
- The decision to separate Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan is detrimental to developing their on-screen relationship.
- All we know is that Qui-Gon thinks he's young and impulsive, which is pretty standard for Master-Padawan relationships.
- The exception is Anakin and Ahsoka in Clone Wars.
- All we know is that Qui-Gon thinks he's young and impulsive, which is pretty standard for Master-Padawan relationships.
