    Okay, but I'm saying it wouldn't have mattered if Qui-Gon cheated. There wouldn't have been anything morally wrong about it.

    Qui-gon didn't cheat. Not once. The only cheater was Watto with his rigged chance cube. All Qui-gon did was make sure that it landed more fairly. There was nothing morally wrong with that. There would have been if Qui-gon used his Lightsaber or choked Watto.

    I'm really not sure how to say it more clearly at this point. My point is that, even if he cheated (I'm not saying he did), it wouldn't be morally wrong, because he was trying to free a slave from a slave owner. But I'm not saying he cheated. I'm talking about a hypothetical. Even if the chance cube wasn't loaded, there would have been nothing wrong with Qui-Gon making it land on blue. But I'm not saying it wasn't loaded, just to be extra clear again.
