I found it a bit odd that the Jedi can use mind tricks to get what they
want but rather than getting someone the convert Republic credits to local
money they had to go through all that weird crap. Couldn't they have gone
to some dealer that wasn't immune, get the money, went back to Watto and
bought the parts? Oh well.. if you didn't watch movies with silly plots
there'd be nothing much left to watch. :)
