instead going through a convoluted bet where he bet his ship on a little stupid kid winning a literal death race. He's clearly not above being a little loose with the jedi code >_>

Probably a quirk of his species. Or "im a quadrarian(or whatever the hell he was)," was simply him shit talking, and he has the mental fortitude to resist mind tricks a la Jabba

So was Anakin a slave? It always weirded me out that there is slavery in Star Wars and no one really does anything about it. But it makes sense for a Sci Fi series.

Remember in Episode 8 when Finn and Rose are freeing the animals on that casino planet and Rose says "it was worth it", but meanwhile literal child slaves are still at the stables?

I didn't see episode 8 I've only seen like 3 of them and I'm not sure which ones. Definitely saw episode 1 though and 4. Anyway I wonder how many years pass from 1-9, not that many clearly. Maybe the next movies will be far away.

Tatooine was beyond the outer rim so Republic laws meant nothing there. They even used a different currency (Republic credits? That wont do I need something more real).

As for the mind trick thing, its exactly what Watto said. Im a Toydarian! Mind tricks dont work on me! Only money!

Honestly as weird as it is Watto is one of my favourite characters in the prequels. Hes a douchebag slave owner, but you always see that he cared about Anakin and his mom, especially in AotC. Annie?Little Annie?! As strange as it is, Watto was the closest thing Anakin had to a father figure before Qui Gon came along. Pretty well written character for a fly with Gonzos nose.

Oh does Jabba have species-inherent immunity? He chastised tentacle-head for being "simple minded" so I just assumed it meant you can resist mind tricks if you've got enough focus/willpower

Yeah I always assumed the ability to resist mind trick was either due to force proficiency or pure willpower. I never understood how a mindtrick could be resisted by biological differences

Some can but for Jabba and Watto it is due to their species.

I thought it was the opposite?

Like it would be hard to mind trick someone like Tarkin, Piett or Veers or the main Rebel characters.

Sort of like Obi mind tricking the guy offering Death Sticks or the Trooper guys in Mos Eisley.

They didn't have strong minds or was adolescent about things.

To be fair "This race are immune to Jedi mind powers" was a bullshit copout.

Jedi really underuse that power

Maybe Luke isn't really Darth's son and that was just a mind trick Luke used when he was about to die

The mind trick should just be that, a trick. Sure you could make a weak minded, dumb trooper look the other way instead of looking at your droids, but surely you couldnt compel anyone to do major life altering things like kill themselves or even give up prized possessions like slaves.

I always thought it was kind of ridiculous that Watto thought he could bully a space wizard with powerful political connections. Are Jedi common enough for Watto to have it on good authority that a Jedi Master won't strike him dead if he feels he needs to? Or that he won't come back when he has more resources to exact revenge?
