Corrected entry: Why doesn't Qui-Gon know the Force doesn't work on Watto's race? The fact that Watto knows that Jedi mental manipulation won't work on his race means that many Jedi must have tried and failed against various Toydarians often enough for it to be a commonly known fact amongst his people. Any such vulnerabilities in the Jedi would be common knowledge among them.

Correction: Just because Watto knows that mind tricks don't work on Toydarians doesn't mean that it is common knowledge that the Jedi should also be aware of. Also, there are literally hundreds of species in the Star Wars universe, it isn't out of the question that Qui Gonn doesn't recognize what race Watto is.
