So, Watto has a force proof head as Chefelf mocked, and is able to comprehend that Jedi are duplicitous bullies. Yet, he gambles with Qui-Gon. He throws easily manipulated dice on the floor rightg in front of a Jedi Master. Its just bad story writing.
It seems like everyone is over the nitpicking. Too bad.

but he did go to the effort of explaining he had +20 to his force saving throw.

unless he does that to all customers with hand guestures

Subulba: "Hey Watto! Whatup?" (waves)
Watto: "FORCEPROOF!!!"
Subulba: "eh... right."

Yes he did Despondent and thats why I brought it up. From the script before the dice scene from http://www.blueharve...m-script.shtml:

WATTO : No they won'ta. QUI-GON, using his mind power, waves his hand again.
QUI-GON : Credits will do fine.
WATTO : No, they won'ta. What you think you're some kinda Jedi, waving your
hand around like that? I'm a Toydarian. Mind tricks don'ta work on me-only
money. No money, no parts! No deal! And no one else has a T-14 hyperdrive, I
promise you that.


Jariten, you could argue that Watto doesnt say specifically that he is a Jedi, but Watto at least knows that QG has some sort of power.

That's right. He's incognito. Only we, those seeing things from the start with Episode one, are aware how the Jedi look, react, and tire on.

What i wanna know is how a learned and galaxy
traveled QG didn't know that the
mind-trick doesn't work on Toydarians?
Like you figure there would be some class
they taught at the Jedi temple Mind-tricks 101
that let them know

Yoda: oh by the way if your ever in a tight spot
with a Toydarian use your charm and good looks
or lightsaber other wise..... you're fucked.

Plain and simple

Duct tape is like the force....

There's a lightside, a darkside

and it holds everything together
