Qui Gon’s plan was to ignore Shmi entirely, bring Anakin back to the Jedi Council, have him get jealous of his blue haired peer for besting him in the mastery exam, and then be struck down by Anakin while trying to kill another one of his pupils. All part of the plan to live in him rent free

The Jedi probably have some places where they send any refugees they come across.

Ask the custody of Anakin and if she refuse play dice to decide who keeps him.

He just needed plausible debiability when Anakin asked about his mom. He probably used the force to stop Watto parting with her

There’s at least one case of someone getting a job in the Temple to keep tabs on their Jedi kid. Maybe she works in the cafeteria?

Jedi implicitly support the intergalactic sex trafficking industry. It is Known

maidservant at a compound or something

Marry her obvs

Palpatine marries shmi when he finds out who anakin is

there is also Personal Assistant To A Prominent Senator, they need a lot of those, and it does NOT pay enough to make sure you have running water.

Something about a lot of moral oversights actually being the Jedi being myopically only partially principled about force utilitarianism but never "too" radical seems like a thread some extended universe book wrote before the Disney purge...like Kotor 2

i think that's what he's doing in that scene but what would he have done if watto was just like sure lmao

immediately produce neuralizer to use on watto

I would say that a civilization that has mastered travel across an entire galaxy could handle giving a woman some money and job training, but he did literally gamble with both their lives so maybe there was no step two lmao

I feel like I've just devised the worst Fringe show possible

he just wanted to have a bigger rush when he won the bet...

I don't know but I do know that in that version of Star Wars Sullivan's Pivot post is about Qui Gon instead of Palpatine.

not sure it was step 2, but we know from Obi Wan that a small wall of flames cannot be walked through OR around OR have the Force applied through it. maybe he'd concoct a scenario where an impassable wall of flame gets between Shmi and Anakin? "Just go around" she'd yell, but too late

what if he already knew he wouldnt win that argument and he just started off with arguing for more than he wanted, so that his true goal seemed like a compomise? and how would he know? uuuuhhhhhh The Force, of course

low key the jedi probably wouldve put her in an ET style lab to look into how that virgin birth happened

Easy job as a Padme body double, basically free money to get treated like royalty.

concoct a plan to get her killed to motivate Anakin somehow lmao
