Why do I sense that we've picked up another pathetic life form?
When Qui-Gon Jinn says he is going back, Obi-Wan Kenobi says:
Why do I sense that we've picked up another pathetic life form?
In the context of the conversation, both Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan know that he is going back for Anakin, so I don't understand why Obi-Wan would say something like this.
Obi-Wan was the one who measured Anakin's blood for Midi-chlorians and said they were off the chart, quoting him:
The reading is off the chart, over 20,000, even Master Yoda dosen't have a Midi-chlorian count that high...
Being that Anakin has a Midi-chlorian count higher than Yoda which obviously is something very special, how could Obi-Wan say:
Why do I sense that we've picked up another pathetic life form?
I would think the topic of conversation would be, when are you going to bring that little boy back to Coruscant with us? Not "Why do I sense that we've picked up another pathetic life form?"
The meaning I take from that is that he does not think Anakin is worth bringing with them.
