Watto

So you go to the local dime store and pick up your lightsaber or whatever.

You can go to Watto's retail swap meets and pick it up.

So it does look exactly the same as the previous one.

So at the end of the day, it's Star Wars.

If that is balance, then perhaps balance itself needs correction.

Two weeks later, on the dusk-choked streets of Mos Espa, Mace Windu stands before Watto's junk shop, wearing simple brown robes and carrying a case of Hutt credits he received from contacts in the banking clan.

Hmm, you want to buy Shmi.

Why? What is she to you?

Watto has grown tired of maintaining slaves who produce little profit, and the Hutt credits Mace offers represent more wealth than the Toydarian has seen in years.

Your Jedi is Ani.

And...

I mean, as late as The Phantom Menace, the character of Watto is like a very racist portrayal of either a Jewish or an Arab moneylender, essentially.

And that was as popular, as mainstream as mainstream could be before 9-11.

I mean, all these desert planet sci-fi movies where suddenly this is a desert planet, but there are no Arabs in it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, I could see it being

a...

I can't remember who the comedian is, but there was this Jewish comedian that was talking about Watto and he's like, and he shows the picture of him and he's like, and all the people, he goes, you ever think we could get out ahead of this by as Jews not looking at something like this and going, hey, that's me.

Right.

Now you have to do the voice.

Uh, they don't all sound like Watto.

Okay.

It's me, Jimmy Scrambles.
