    The thing with the Jedi mind trick is that only Jedi’s think it works.

    Everyone else just see a scary lightsaber guy asking them to repeat a sentence and are more than happy to comply if it means they get left alone.

    There’s a limit to how much you can pretend though.

    • Letting an old man and a kid drive through a checkpoint? Fine, someone else’s problem.

    • Handing over all your life savings for a bad deal? Uh, no actually.

      “Yeah, sure, whatever you say, man. I just work here.”

        I took it more like galactic credits are banned on Tatooine , and no trader who didn’t want any trouble with the Hutts would be dealing with them. Taking them on would be a world of trouble, like fencing stolen goods

          Thanks for explaining it. I’m not well versed on Star Wars. Seems like a galatic credit would have huge value compared to a local currency and someone would take that risk. Like trying to use USD in Argentina last year, illegal but worth it.
