    He didn’t steal the child, he won it fair and square in the aforementioned gambling!

    Child labor and endangering a minor for making it compete in a high risk lethal sport for profit. Human trafficking. Jedis were wild.

    Hey, hey, hey. He didn’t steal the child. He won him (in an illegal betting contest he may have entered him into against the child’s mom’s wishes).

      Even “against his mom’s wishes” is a stretch. Sure, in a literal sense she didnt want her son to race, but acknowledged he could help them and ultimately let him do it.

      Granted, I also don’t think she knew about Qui-Ron’s wager for him, but obviously was glad her son got to be free.

      Been a while since I’ve seen the prequels, though, so apologies if my memory is wrong.

    There’s a reason Dooku was friends with Qui-Gon. I like to imagine a better PM which would have shown that.

    Like Qui-Gon and Dooku are working from the inside to reform the Jedi and take out Sideous but then QuiGon dies.

    A child without one parent isn’t a child, it’s a clone. And those clearly don’t have rights in the galaxy far, far away.
