Not to change the topic too much, but keeping on the idea of maintaining as much as possible while also achieving our goals, I was thinking about how we could have both Anakin and his mother freed but also keep the dice bet. The line as it stands is “Blue—it’s the boy. Red—his mother.” Could there be a way of constructing dialogue to be either Anakin or BOTH of them.
I can’t look at it right now - but two options I can think of are to change the dialogue to “Blue—it’s the boy. Red—them both/the two of them.” That would require a change in the result with VFX work.
Or to flip it to “Red—it’s the boy. Blue—them both/the two of them.” But I just don’t know if the way Watto says “Red” would fit at the start of the phrase (if I recall it feels very “here’s the second option” in the way he delivers the line)
