Yeah... why the fuck didn't he do that? I mean the place he was in was hosting a giant ass pod racing championship with tons of visitors, are you expecting us to believe that no one would appreciate republic credits there?

It would be like if you time traveled to 2001 and tried to spend USD with some drug dealer in some backwater country and they laughed in your face... are you kidding me? USD then and now (though it might be in decline) is often preferred to local currency.

    The Republic in ep 1 is about to get in a war with the Trade Federation over taxes. If a group of space traders think they can win a fight against the galactic government, then maybe the economy is poor and Republic credits aren't trusted.
