    “I didn’t actually come here to free slaves.” Well then Qui-Gon, you’re a dick.

      To be fair he tried to liberate his mother too. He just noticed that it was impossible without risking everything (the engine and Anakin).

      If he had survived I think he would have actually come back for the boy’s mother. Specially once he saw Anakin having a hard time about losing her.

        There was also a weird chemistry there between Shmi and Quigon. I think he’d definitely come back for one reason or another.

      “The Jedi are against giving a fuck about anything unless it serves our interests.”

      Can’t imagine why Anakin rebelled.

        The Jedi are against starting a war without the consent of the people that will actually suffer the consequences of that war.

        At least when it’s not one of them on the line, anyway.

        The thing is, if any of then gave a shit, they’d have her free shortly after leaving, without attacking anybody.

          They can’t save everybody everywhere, but as you say, they could have used stealth to save people where they can without starting a war.
