[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [qb] I was thinking about QuiGonn's attempted mind trick on Watto in Ep1 and about how bad that really was. The only reason we knew what he was trying to do was because we've all seen Episode 4. My guess is that people who watch the episodes in order for the first time won't get much of what's going on. [/qb][/QUOTE]Well technically Watto does give an explanation as to what Qui Gon was trying to do about half a second later. [i]"What, you think you're some kind of Jedi, waving your hand around like that? I'm a Toydarian! Mind tricks don't work on me, only money."[/i] The fact that he was being sarcastic doesn't matter, the audience gets the joke. Mind you, the Jedi mind trick was never really explained in the original trilogy either, all Kenobi said was:- [i]"The force can have a strong influence on the weak minded."[/i] The term "Jedi Mind Trick" wasn't even coined until RotJ, by Jabba and by then the trick is old hat. So I think it works fine whichever order you view the films in. Of course the best JMT moment has to be in AotC, during the Outlander club scene. [i]"I don't want to sell you death sticks"[/i] I laughed my arse off the first time I saw that. [i]"I want to go home and rethink my life."[/i] I still love it. ;) [b]EDIT:[/b] I just remembered that the first time (chronologically) we saw the JMT was at the beginning of TPM, with Boss Nass. So you're right, that might not make sense. Oh well. [/QB][/QUOTE]
