Man I don't even remember what this thread was about anymore. Something about an animal-thing, domestic abuse, and talking tea-pots and droids.

[Kim]

If it was really about an animal-thing, you woulda remembered.

Anakin was a slave in republic space. Likemaybe they outlawed it but they didn't do shit to stop it. It'sike how nowadays we technically don't have slavescause we just keep them all out of the way in Asia and Africa.
Like let's look at Tattoine. They running slave trade in the republic area. I don't recall seeing any slaves during the Imperial era.
Empire=gets shit done.

And like Jedi are all about balance and harmony and shit unless you don't have no midichlorians. Like I don't see no regular joe bloggs training at jedi schools or sitting on their council. You got to be a super space Aryan to get a foot in the door.
Like sure the most uber of the space aryans don't automatically rule but to have any chance you got to have sweet magic space blood.

Tatooine wasn't ruled by the Republic. It was technically part of the republic, but the hutt cartels owned it.

And yes, you do see slaves during the imperial era. Jabba has a bunch of them. One of them is a main character. You don't see the trade because you don't see any major settlements during the original trilogy. Just Jabba's palace/pleasure barge fleet, which is manned mostly by slaves and droids. And the Empire was working relatively directly with Jabba and his bounty hunter.

Normal Joe Blows wouldn't want to, anyway. You can't learn the space magic, and Jedi aren't allowed to have any real power, have any relationships (family, lovers, etc.), and basically live pretty shit lives as public servants. They don't have any political power, other than a few senators respecting their insights enough to take suggestions. And it's not like there aren't non-jedi academies just as good at teaching everything other than space magic.

You know what bugs me about the Jedi in the new trilogy? They're all, "He's too old for us to start teaching him force shit," and that's total bullshit. If someone has force potential, I'm pretty sure they're not only able to use it if they've been taught how. We only see the ones who are taught how, but I think, given time, there would be those who realize, "Holy shit! I'm magic!" and start doing something with that power.

The Jedi wouldn't want to be all, "Nope, too old." They'd want to be teaching responsible force usage and being good and all that, just in case the Sith decide to take the force user under their wing or to prevent them from just being some unaffiliated jackass using force pull on everyone's trousers.
