so i'm watchin Star Wars Episode I "the phantom menace" for the umteenth time. and i came to another sad realization of the star wars universe (besides it's dateless fans).
so qui gon jin goes into watto's shop and asks for a certain hyperdrive thingie (it was a T-14 hyperdrive, but i sometimes dumb it down for non-nerds) and he is told that there are no other of these particular hyperdrive thingies are on sale at any of the other junk and parts dealers.
does he look?
does he shop around?
does he ask about competitive pricing?
no.
so, besides being a poor lightsaber duelist( see the end of the movie when he gets skewered, hope i didn't ruin the movie for ya) he is also not an aggressive shopper.
the sad thing is...i have no idea why this bothers me.
