But I could be wrong.The real mistake of the whole scene is this: Qui-gon tells Obi-Wan that they need Jar Jar because he's a native local and would useful because he would be able to give navigational tips on how to get through the core and end up near the capitol. However, once they're travelling, Jar Jar asks where they're going and Qui-gon says that the force will guide them. If they didn't need directions from Jar Jar to begin with, why bother taking him along for the reason he stated? And how do you use the force as a mapquest function?One could say that Qui-gon didn't really intend to ask Jar Jar for directions and that he only told Obi-Wan what he did as a way to get him on his side as far as making Jar Jar come along. Cuz all he really wanted was to free Jar Jar. If that was the case, there should've been a scene that showed that. A quick scene where Obi-wan says, "I thought you were brought him along to help us navigate?" Then Qui-gon would say something like, "I just didn't want to leave him imprisoned is all." But if that were the case, then that means Qui-gon isn't afraid of telling his own padawan little white lies. Anyways, silly Lucas writing.</blockquote>
