“Ah yes we freed you. Now you can join our religious army. Family? Don’t need one. Pay? We don’t have material things. Your mum? You’ll never see her again. Ah yes, enjoy that freedom”
“We didn’t come here to free slaves.” Yeah, but like, might as well now that you have the opportunity, right? I mean is there a bad time to free slaves? Qui-Gon has always been a dick in my book.
A lot of planets have had slaves for thousands of years, and the Jedi have always done dick all.
Peace and order in the galaxy is the goal. Justice isn’t apparently
That line is awful. He’s like SIGH what a bother just give me the kid and the engine part I want.
More evidence that the Jedi are indeed evil.
This is why I love every moment on Mandalorian when they say the Jedi are dead. A harry potter wizardy religious cult with gigantic laser wands
More evidence that pure good or evil dont exist only grey areas
Some areas are greyer than others.
The fact that they can only indoctrinate people if they start at about toddler age should be a clue that something is off.
Anakin: “Thank you! You saved us all.”
Qui Gon: “Saved us? No, it’s more like under new management”
What? How can you do this? This is outrageous. It’s unfair! How can I be a freed man, and still call you master?
And they never bothered to free his mother Shmi
Someone else did, right? A local man of humble means if I recall. And even then it was being freed straight into a marriage so it doesn’t sound like she had a great deal of choice in the matter. Can’t believe they just left her there. They probably could have lessened Annakin’s attachment issues by just getting her to a more okay situation in life so he didn’t have to worry about her so much. But that would be actually helping a person you care about! Can’t have that!
