    If your interstellar society has slavery, I’m not interested. Didn’t the Jedi free Luke and just leave his mom in captivity?

    Way too many Star Wars fans like the Empire for my taste. (And the rebels aren’t much better, if they’re better at all.)

      That was Anakin Not his son Luke. And Qui-gon tried to free Shmi as well but Watto was too resilient.

        And when Qui-gon realized he couldn’t cheat hard enough for both slaves, he just… didn’t try to get the funds together? Come up with some other sort of trade?
