#Qui Gon Jinn

[gffa]

TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT THE JEDI ORDER IN STAR WARS CANON, PART VI [A Meta/Reference Guide on AO3] aka, SO WHAT DO THE JEDI SAY AND DO IN THE ACTUAL CANON? This is the sixth part of this citations project, which is a collection of quotes that show how the Force works, what abilities a Jedi has, how the Force feels, what Jedi teach as their philosophy, Jedi's outreach to various worlds that need help, administrative details about how they work with the Republic, descriptions of the various rooms in the Jedi Temple, etc. Anything and everything that might be useful to a fic writer or a meta analyzer that you might want to reference! It's broken up by era, so if you just want to know about the prequels and want to skip over the originals or the sequels or the High Republic, you can do that! But I hope that one thing this guide can do is show the parallels between the prequels and the High Republic, that almost anything you can find in one, whatever teachings or outreach missions or bits of philosophy it is, there's something that is echoed in the other. One of the other aims of this guide is to present a case of how a lot of fanon about the Jedi isn't really supported by the canon and, hey, more power to anyone who wants to write them differently, there's no shade here about that. But I really genuinely like the canon and want to shove as much of it as I can at people and provide the best context that I can, so here have the work in this series that will now put me over the 200k words mark. Come nerd out about the Jedi with me!

The guide is broken down into seven sections as before: SECTION 1 - HOW THE FORCE WORKS SECTION 2 - JEDI CULTURE & PHILOSOPHY & TEACHINGS SECTION 3 - JEDI AS A PEOPLE SECTION 4 - PSYCHIC SPACE WIZARDS DOING PSYCHIC SPACE WIZARD THINGS SECTION 5 - JEDI TEMPLES SECTION 6 - JEDI AND THE BIGGER GALAXY SECTION 7 - JEDI, BUDDHISM, AND EVERYTHING ELSE

look, i already knew how much i loved qui gonn jinn since the premiere of the phantom menace over 20 years ago and every bit of expansion on his character since has only made me love him more tbh but now on top of it all i know he’s the best wingman anybody could ask for.

obi wan and satine falling in love while on the run makes so much more sense after reading the glass abyss bc qui gonn literally coordinated it so his death would result in his bff mace windu hooking up with a woman who qui gonn met years ago and was like “damn she straight up would be perfect for my man mace. she could fix him, tbh.” so now i know in my heart qui gonn was parent trapping satine and obi wan at every possible opportunity. they walked into a safe house with mood lighting and a romantic dinner laid out for them at least once mark my words.

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda

he’s getting flashbacks

If Obi-Wan had actually stayed on Mandalore with Satine after the Civil War and left the Jedi Order, it would've made The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones peak comedy.

Like, Qui-Gon would still be sent to Naboo and end up on Tatooine, he'd still meet Anakin and take him back to the Temple. But, in this AU, he survives the battle on Theed and takes Anakin as his padawan. And the entire Order would be making jokes:

"Congrats on the new padawan! Hope he sticks around longer than the last one!" "We'll keep this one off the bodyguard missions, eh Qui-Gon?"

So one day little Anakin’s like "hey master, what happened to your last padawan?" And Qui-Gon's like "oh he ran off with a girl, yeah he's royalty in the Outer Rim now".

And it's all fine and dandy until Anakin’s nineteen and they get assigned to protect Padmé, and Qui-Gon takes one look at this kid's face and thinks "You've got to be fucking kidding me, this shit again??"

Obi-Wan's apprenticeship with Qui-Gon is a horse girl movie but they both think the other person is the horse.

my greatest sadness is that qui gon, obi wan, and (full grown) anakin never got to interact.
