He didn't steal the child, he won it fair and square in the aforementioned gambling!
It's not cheating if they cheat first
Single moms deserve to feel desirable too.
Now say it like you’re Liam Nelson
I didn't know who you are. I didn't know what you want. But I will find you, and I will desire you.
I don’t know who you are, or how you ended up here, but when I come. You’ll be the first to know.
There’s always a singler mom
Amen.
“I went up and down areas with a cosh, hoping I’d be approached by somebody. I’m ashamed to say that, and I did it for maybe a week – hoping some ‘single mother’ would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could desire her.”
Preferably before a farmer comes in to buy her as a sex slave.
an absolute menace
One could even say... a phantom menace
No no no, that's at the end of the movie.
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.
Either a clone or a spontaneous midichlorian conception.
Didnt he ask shmi about taking Ani before taking him? like im sure shmi wanted a better future than being a slave for him too
It's like poetry, it rhymes.
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.
Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
