The thing with the Jedi mind trick is that only Jedi's think it works.

Everyone else just see a scary lightsaber guy asking them to repeat a sentence and are more than happy to comply if it means they get left alone.

There's a limit to how much you can pretend though.

• Letting an old man and a kid drive through a checkpoint? Fine, someone else's problem.

• Selling an obvious narc deathsticks? Yeah, maybe going home and rethinking your life is the right call here.

• Handing over all your life savings for a bad deal? Uh, no actually.

Wait why do they need to mind trick a money exchanger? Isn’t it just their job to exchange money? You just need to hand them the credits. OK maybe you’ll get gouged on the exchange rate but it’s not like they were poor. Alternatively I’m sure there’s something of value on a fancy vessel that they could just sell.

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.

It just occurred to me that this meme needs like 2 modifications to be about Paul Atreides

they are given laser swords

You mean those kids didn't go through the Jedi ritual of constructing their own lightsabers? What has happened to our cherished traditions?!

You want those younglings to be defenseless against the Jedi that kill them with their laser sword?

Don’t forget blindfolding them while they use their laser swords

Training swords! They just sting like a bitch. They don’t make their own until well later.

Yes.

He's so strong he can break the fourth wall.

He did too many midichlorians

Do you remember the arcade version? That was awesome!!

I had the Win98 version growing up, but i think the Dreamcast one may be better.

Qui-Gon is gambling at much higher stakes, placing the fate of the entire future of the galaxy into the hands of that boy, who Yoda had strongly recommended against being trained. So it's not that Qui-Gon was against Obi-Wan wanting to gamble, he just wanted him to significantly up his game:-).

It's a humorous way of saying he's his apprentice AND his friend!
