This is a Chicago Jump Out Squad
In DC this sort of thing is normal too.
People need to understand. I have spent my adult life in driving distance between the urban centers where this slave catcher ass policing style is the reality, and the prison(s) where massive prisoner populations are rented out to governments and corporations for literal pennies to the inmates.

I really like your Jangobi fic on AO3 - and am hunting down comics/books with Jaster. Question: Do you have some headcanons about the people/universe in your story?
excellent question!!!!!! 
in this verse anakin’s 1st meeting with qui-gon and obi-wan was more of a screwball comedy (that still ends in tragedy. rip qui-gon. or maybe not lol you’ll see)
so basically obi-wan and qui-gon were trying to infiltrate gardulla’s palace but OOPS so were sheev and maul bc sheev got some random woman force-impregnated with weird old rituals courtesy of plaugeis and he was scrambling to find this kid b4 the jedi could. but the jedi dont KNOW about anakin they’re just there bc they want to negotiate a treaty with the hutts BUT they get mixed up in sheev’s plan to blow up the palace and sheev pins the whole thing on the 2 jedi scheduled to pay a visit. so obi-wan and qui-gon have to infiltrate as dancers and there’s some zany Shirtless Shenanigans and someone gets grinded on before the night is through (it’s cad bane. obi-wan u slut)
BUT guess who figures out that they’re space wizards: ANAKIN, AGE 9, CURRENTLY BEING HUNTED DOWN BY A SITH WHO’S ACCOSTING EVERY CHILD IN THE AREA AND ASKING IF THEIR MOM IS A VIRGIN. anakin thinks it would be totally wizard to help the space wizards hoodwink his boss because fuck her she’s a slaver. obi-wan is distraught that they’re bringing a child into this and incessantly mother-hens while shmi wonders who the fuck this ginger thot with aspirations towards fatherhood is. qui-gon, who as we know has no problems tossing young boys in the deep end and expecting them to swim, is like clearly this child must be space jesus. sheev, meanwhile, is convinced that he’s the space antichrist. neither of them are wrong.
eventually there’s a lightsaber duel while obi-wan is still in a metal speedo because I KNOW MY AUDIENCE. maul has the weirdest boner and immediately loses it bc obi-wan chops it off (along with the rest of his bottom half). qui-gon, meanwhile, gets bbq’d by an irate sheev in front of gardulla’s horrified (and entertained) entourage. i want this to be angsty but i feel compelled to mention that metal speedos are HIGHLY conductive so qui-gon’s balls probably get flash-fried. gardulla kicks sheev and the bottom half of maul out because she LIKED that DILFy dancer and it’s rude to murder your host’s strippers. obi-wan asks shmi if he can take anakin to be trained at the temple and sells his jewel-encrusted lingerie to buy both her and anakin’s freedom. shmi agrees once she learns that the sith will most likely be back (and she’s already had an unpleasant encounter with the top half of maul where he’s been hiding in the dumpster out back), and anakin really wants to learn how to Cool Murder, so she’s like “FINE i guess” and obi-wan reassures her that if anakin ever decides to leave the jedi order he’ll leave with him and take care of him and train him bc that’s LITERALLY CANON. OBI-WAN IS THE BEST DADBROTHER EVER.
and then mandalorians or whatever

I'm just sitting here thinking about how starting with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, continuing with Obi and Anikin and then Obi/Ben&Yoda with Luke, like starting with the quality of education and then amount, the jedi knowledge being passed down is so diluted.
Like Obi-Wan was NOT ready to take on a padawan, let alone little mister chosen one. Anakin would have made the most patient of jedi masters Stressed and the council was just like "nah, we absolutely need to respect our very eccentric and sometimes kinda out-there friend's last wishes".
On top of that, after he's been in exile for 20 years he's like "lemme give this kid a crash course in how to ruin your life with a laser sword".
Luke has such shoddy and minuscule information about the entirety of the jedi and, I dont- I just think about all of the information that was in the jedi library that didnt make it out of the purge and it UPSETS ME.
And logically Yoda was the most equipped option to train a new late blossom, but seeing his difference between teaching the room full of younglings and accosting Luke in the swamp. Its like a teacher that's due to retire...
And then sweet little Luke, who knew nothing of the actual establishment of the jedi decides to round up a whole bunch of untrained superpowered kids and teach them the calm religion of space ninjas, and its like.... have you met a child? Have you ever dealt with more than one at a time? LIVED with them?
Just.. so damn foolish.
