This Is Funny And Possibly True - Tumblr Posts

a silly hc I like to think about is that most Jedi have a very vague concept of money.

sure they know what money is and get the principle of exchanging it for goods and services, but they grow up without having to use it in the Temple so what's the point of knowing the price of a jogan fruit if you can just ask for one in the refectory?

The accounting department is traditionally run by non-Jedi because none of them knows how taxes work or what a balance sheet is. Accountants working at the Temple are the most exasperated people in the galaxy and their daily conversations are like,

"master Kenobi went on a 2-week long mission and didn't ask for an allocation. Again. I wonder if he's going to admit he forgot and call for help at one point or try to sell most of his clothes at the highest price possible. Can't wait to read his report."

"can someone explain to me how Master Fisto left a month ago with 400 credits and came back with twice that amount? What did he do to earn that much money?"

"remember that time Master Jinn asked us to send him the equivalent of the GDP of a small mid rim planet because he gambled on a Force-intuition? yeah, I don't miss this guy."

anyway my point was actually: Anakin Skywalker, who grew up working in a shop and has never paid a price he didn't bargain for before, is one of the only Jedi the accounting department considers responsible and pragmatic.
