He's huge and obviously (in my eyes) tough as nails, but he's gentle and polite. If you remember everything we have seen of Tatooine, the big tough people aren't nice and gentle. She also knew that her son had "special powers" as she calls them, and Qui-gon surprises her by picking up on it right away. *HE* mentions Annakin's powers to the mother first. Now remember, Watto had owned the boy since birth and didn't really see much special about him. A valuable slave sure, but he didn't seem to think the boy had any magical powers.And if Jabba or the Hutts had become aware of Annakin's powers, they would have taken him.So here's a badass who arrives out of nowhere and sees things those around the boy haven't noticed for years.And he has a lightsabre.
