Qui-Gon
Jinn
Qui-Gon is introduced in Episode I
of Star Wars as a wise and powerful Jedi, the mentor of the
young Obi-Wan Kenobi. Unlike the other more conservative
Jedis, he values living in the moment as the most effective and
rewarding way to embrace the Force. While other Jedi respect
him, they are frequently puzzled by his unorthodox beliefs, and
ultimately deny him a seat on the Jedi Council.
At the age of eight, he and Tahl
become best friends. At the age of 10, Qui-Gon participates in
the Exhibition Day Tournament, where young students are
encouraged to perform their skills so that they may be taken as
an apprentice to one of the Jedi Knights or Masters. At this
exhibition, Jedi Master Count Dooku first sees Qui-Gon's
lightsaber skills, and takes the boy as his Padawan a short
time afterwards.
For the next few years, Qui-Gon
returns to solo missions, and occasionally works with others on
various assignments. Qui-Gon and Tahl are credited for
accomplishing many missions, such as successfully overseeing
the first democratic elections of New
Apsolon.
