Watto's shop was a junk dealership owned by the Toydarian Watto in Mos Espa, Tatooine. His slave Anakin Skywalker worked there repairing salvage for him. Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn came there seeking a T-14 hyperdrive generator after becoming stranded on the planet, but Watto refused to accept his Republic credit chips. Eventually, Qui-Gon bet on Anakin winning the Boonta Eve Classic podrace to get the hyperdrive generator, and for the boy's freedom.
