I knew I remembered it from the film. I think they were still busy having this conversation over supper/lunch, IIRC. Good find, man.
Also, it's funny how he has literally countered NOTHING, yet claims he has, and then runs away so that his ass-reaming can't continue, yet tries to proclaim himself the thread victor.
Edit: Oh wait, was the dinner scene I think where they try to convince Ani's mother to let him go with them. I need to watch that film again. Some of the minor details have become hazy. Anyway, besides the point. All jedi have active precog that aids them in and out of battle, whether it's with pod racing or deflecting blaster bolts. That quote verifies it from the mouth of a Jedi himself.
