Oh, yes, I remember this one. Vader composed a rather lengthy message to Watto communicating his upset at his brief stint in slavery and gave an impassioned case for the abolition of slavery in the galaxy. Watto was emotionally touched, the two met and Watto began a campaign of restoring those who had previously been his slaves. It was a touching story of redemption for Watto and when Anakin learned that violence is not always needed in all cases. Very heartwarming tale.
Actually, Boba Fett was tasked with finding out who destroyed the Death Star. He encountered Luke on Tatooine, but Luke escaped. However, Boba Fett found out Luke’s last name and reported it to Darth Vader. Vader’s revelation that he had a son shook him to his very core, as he realized that Emperor Palpatine had lied to him all this time. That’s the only reason why Boba Fett lived to see another day.
Vader and Anakin never really had that much of a problem with Watto. Apparently a slave owner has went he was very gentle and kind and also to the fact he helped Anakin find his mother afterward and they didn’t seem to be any resentment or hatred when he spoke to him last.
One minor correction: Obi Wan didnt realize that Anakin was alive, he hid him there because there was barely any empire control there Edit: Also the reason why Vader didn't sense Obi Wan was cuz this took place after a new hope
Not enough people seem to remember that. Obi-Wan thought he left anakin to *die* on Mustafar, burned to a crisp. It was the shock of his life later when he learned who Vader really was. By the time of A New Hope, he *did* know, but had accepted that Vader and Anakin weren't the same person. It was the only way he could hope that Anakin could be redeemed: If Vader died, Anakin's soul could go to the 'good place' in the force.
Also in the (EU?) novel "Dark Lord Rising" when Obi Wan learns that Vader survived Mustafar, Qui Gon's Force Ghost speaks to him and tells him that Tatooine represents everything in Anakin's past that causes him pain & might cause him to reassert himself over the Vader "personality." Thus Darth Vader, Dark Lord of the Sith will avoid going to Tatooine.
That doesn't make sense though. Obiwan DID know that Anakin was given the name "Vader" by Palpatine. You could argue that maybe he thought the next apprentice just kept the same name so they wouldn't need to change the office door sign or something but...that's worse than just the writers forgetting what obiwan should know imo
No Darth Vader never had really much of a problem with Wotto, nor did Anakin really. It was mentioned by his mother in her diary that Wotto was actually a very good slave owner as slaveowners went as he was very kind and gentle. And also he did help Anakin find his mother and there didn’t seem to be any resentment or anger when he last spoke to him. However, Darth Vader may have killed him just as a matter of course anyway, simply because he didn’t want any witnesses. I don’t think it was him though because this dealer although the same species was wearing blue garments, whereas Wotto had a tan jacket on.
Huh, that's interesting, I had no idea that Shmi actually respected Watto or that he was even kind and gentle to them. What book do they show her diary?
Thing is, I imagine that kindness wasn't entirely.......out of heart. The thing that seemed to really matter to Watto was that Anakin was a natural, and skilled mechanic, and the only human on Tattoine with the proper reflexes to pilot a pod racer due to his connection to the Force. Such skills would be invaluable to someone running the type of business Watto did.......and for someone with the penchant for gambling he had. So, naturally, he'd WANT to be kind to the two because they (or at least Anakin) were making him *a lot* of money! (Granted, at some point, he may have developed a *slightly* more fatherly, real attachment to him as he got older......) It also further showcases the reasons for why he didn't want to give Anakin over to Qui-Gon.....He lost the bet on the race, he lost a lot of money, he lost the parts for the ship AND he lost Anakin, and his talents and skills, all in one fell swoop, which CAN'T have been good for his business!
@ yes you are right. He probably did all that, but nevertheless, the fact of the matter was he didn’t treat Shmee and Anakin very badly. Whatever his reasons considering that other slave owners even if they saw these talents and used them like he did could still have kept him in a slum in a very bad way, but instead they had an actual house. Also to the fact when Otto actually acquired them, it’s obvious he didn’t actually know of their talents quite yet so it’s obvious he still looked after them until they became apparent.
Oh yes Vader most certainly gave Watto a friendly 'visit' Vader at heart hated the in his eyes weak Anakin Skywalker. Vader would want to destroy anything that was such a link to Anakin. Plus Watto was partly to blame for Shimi Skywalker being a slave and her death. So yes I can see Vader force choaking the hell out of Watto
As much as I find slavery a despicable practice, being executed by a Sith Lord seems less like justice and more like poetic justice. For plot reasons, though, this is an appropriate ending as I can't imagine Vader letting his childhood suffering go. He would punish Watto for himself and his mother to break ties with his past.
Big question to you @star.wars.comics : How strong would Vader have been if he reunited with his own inner self, young Anakin Skywalker and was fully conscious of all his suffering all at the same time? DarthSidious:"What are you doing my apprentice?" LordVader:"I am torturing a persona from my childhood, I brought him with me from Tattooine." -Casual Dialogue on an Imperial Space Station
Well, in both Cannons, Obi Wan didn't know that Vader had survived. In Legends, he found out by accident in at the end of the book *Dark Lord : The Rise of Darth Vader* by James Luceno. In the book, it was a few weeks, or almost a month after Revenge of the Sith. He was spying on the Lars family. And he was in a cantina when a news report came on where the journalists talked about the mysterious Darth Vader who seems to now be the Emperor's personal enforcer. And that nobody knew exactly what his role in the New Empire was. He was shocked at seeing that huge black cyborg. That it looked almost like some kind of storm trooper. And in that moment, Qui Gonn spoke to Obi Wan. And confirmed that this was the same Darth Vader as Anakin. You see for a moment, he actually doubted that this monstrosity before him could be the same Vader as Anakin. He thought maybe the Emperor had created another apprentice and named him Darth Vader. He asked if he should be worried that Vader would come down to Tatoine. And Qui Gonn said no. Because he secretly fears awakening Anakin Skywalker again. And then later i think either in Legends or in Disney Cannon they claim that when Darth Vader killed the Sand People, he created a Dark Side nexus on the planet. Which hid Luke from Vader and the Emperor. Basically his light side signature in the force was swallowed up by the dark side. Which is why it wasn't until after Luke destroyed the Death Star, that he began to grow strong in the force, that he finally attracted the attention of both Vader and the Emperor. Now Leia I have no idea how they didn't know. Probably Alderaan is a light side nexus and that's why they didn't know with her. And when she was on Coruscant there's already a dark side nexus there under the Jedi Temple.
3:10 how is it the main reason when Obi-Wan didn't even know he was alive? You don't need the Kenobi show to tell you that although that tells you it as well 😅
Of COURSE he knew who Vader was, and that he was quite alive. But he told Luke that "your father was a powerful Jedi .. Vader killed your father." So he straight out lied to Luke in saying that his father was dead, but was true was that Vader had killed him. From a certain point of view!
Disney-Marvel seems to keep forgetting that Palpatine can read Vader’s mind and constantly monitor’s Anakin’s thoughts, no matter how far apart they are; so Palpatine would know what Vader was trying to do.
Yeah in literature or fiction in general there are few TRUE coincidences but it all comes down to reader/veiwer inference and Head Canon. It's Watto to Me. 🤓😎✌🏻
Watto: EeeYYyyy Aniii! Thatsa nica suit you gotsa there! If you wanna upgrade it I gotsa a lotsa spare parts, special discount for former employees! "Force chokes Watto" Watto: eye you! Letsa not do anything hasty! if you strika me down I be more powerful than evah! "Snaps Watto's neck" Storm trooper: I am sorry Lord Vader but I just got a message from the office! Your entire credit account just went bad and you no longer have any alive work place references to help you get a new job! The references from Palpatine have been bad ever since the Death Star blew up... Vader: NNOOOoooooooo!
Watto’s “wings” were laughable in the films. Can we ret-con an anti-grav belt to make his character’s appearance more plausible? Sooo Anakin was friends with Jar Jar too. Wonder if he got Force-snuffed as well?… Thanks for a fun & informative video. See you “Out There!”.
I think the reasoning is, mind tricks are psychological and choking is physical. Even using the Force from across the room, the victim's airway is blocked.
I have never bought into any redemption for the individual that went by Darth Vader later revealed to have been Anakin Skywalker. His last second act which was mostly self-serving could not negate the billions lives extinguished or an entire galaxy thrown into chaos. His supposed redemption is excused by the erroneous claim that Anakin was not responsible since his personality was completely overwritten by that of the Sith lord. That was and is complete poodoo. Even a Sith can't have it both ways. This complete exoneration of Anakin is the reason his force ghost reverts to the form last seen in Revenge of the Jedi. By spotlighting an interval when Anakin was effectively "driving the bus" they contradict the reasoning for so much of Anakin's redemption arch, including his recent appearance in the Ashoka Disney series. Do not celebrate revisionist history and call it canon.

The fact that Boba Fett called Vader Skywalker and lives... Just shows the respect Vader has for Boba
Actually, Boba Fett was tasked with finding out who destroyed the Death Star. He encountered Luke on Tatooine, but Luke escaped. However, Boba Fett found out Luke’s last name and reported it to Darth Vader.

Vadar was probably too traumatized, or flooded with memories, by being back on Tattoine that he wasn’t even thinking about Obi-Wan.
Vader and Anakin never really had that much of a problem with Watto. Apparently a slave owner has went he was very gentle and kind and also to the fact he helped Anakin find his mother afterward and they didn’t seem to be any resentment or hatred when he spoke to him last.
Um actually, Obi Wan was dead

How the hell would waddo even know who dr. Aphra was?
That's a good question. I guess it was more of a wrong time, the wrong place thing.
His name is Watto.
Why wouldn't He? The Underworld can be a small world, information is crucial to good business, and Chelli wasn't exactly a shrinking violet.
She's a criminal and he's got a presence in the criminal underworld, it's not that big a leap... Like at all.
This would've been one of the only good things Disney did with Star Wars, but of course they have to ruin it with Dr. Aphra.
Makes sense to me, except for one thing. Why would Vader have waited that long?
How would he force choke a toydarian the force doesn’t work on them.
