STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 01:38:29

[tossawary]

I read "Star Wars Jedi: The Dark Side", which is the 5-part comic depicting Qui-Gon Jinn and Xanatos's breakup as a Master-Padawan pair, and the art was... fine? It wasn't good. Every time they drew the female Jedi Master Tahl in an overly sexualized pose like she didn't have any internal organs, I wanted to bite someone, but they did some kind of neat things with color / lighting sometimes? Eh. It was competent enough. It worked.

I didn't really like their composition or posing most of the time, because the camera kept swinging around 180 degrees a lot, trucking in and out, which made it hard to keep track of who was where sometimes. Especially when the character design wasn't... uh... great at differentiating between the characters sometimes? I didn't really like any of the character designs in this comic. They could have been way more distinct. It took me a "wait a fucking second" to realize that Qui-Gon was sparring against both Xanatos and Feemor at the start, because the boys looked so, SO similar, with mostly just a palette swap between them. The character faces could also shift a lot from page to page, issue to issue.

Given how Qui-Gon Jinn looks here, if you had taken this character design for Xanatos and told me it was supposed to be Obi-Wan Kenobi, I would have 100% believed you.

Which is disappointing? Xanatos looks way, WAY too much like Obi-Wan or Anakin for me. He's like a fusion. And this is a really boring character design compared to some of the other Jedi character designs in "The Clone Wars". It's also hilarious, because I was browsing some books and honestly thinking to myself just last night: "They have GOT to stop making skinny, white brunette girl protagonists in Star Wars, if only because I can't easily tell them all apart with the way they get drawn most of the time."

What I was ABSOLUTELY NOT expecting: Xanatos's dad looks like a buff Lex Luthor and Xanatos's sister, Nason, looks like SPACE OPERA PRINCESS BARBIE. It cracked me up a little. Look!

So, uh, look, I know that the Telosians characters in the background there are functionally wearing Jedi robes themselves in non-brown colors, but I think that's incredibly boring design again. So, I'm going to imagine that Nason's dressy outfit and hairstyle here is closer to what your average Telosian noble would wear. (Xanatos and Nason's hair colors here could both be natural, but maybe it's fashionable to dye it?) Now that Xanatos has left the Jedi, he's going to need a new fit! A new wardrobe! He can grow his hair out!

I presume that Xanatos is going to be wearing the villainous black robes later on in the "Jedi Apprentice" series, of course! It's classic like the little black dress! But I am nevertheless now not going to be able to shake the image of young Obi-Wan Kenobi being tormented by a Dark Jedi Xanatos, evil overlord of the Offworld Mining corporation, who looks and dresses like Space Opera Princess Barbie. Revenge can be achieved in hot pink.

For the ask game: 1, 2, & 10!

Your Pal's Star Wars Ask Game

OOOOH these are good ones, thanks anon!

1. Qui-Gon Jinn: love or hate? Discuss.

I very passionately could not care less. He's boring! I don't love or hate, I'm boooored. But that's a terrible answer, so let's go through every single Qui-Gon subject I could possibly have feelings on and describe why I don't.

(Oh boy this list became extremely rude but shit fam, I'm being asked my personal opinion lol. What else am I supposed to do?)

Phantom Menace? Meh. He's the mystical wise type... but Yoda does it better. He's the seemingly disciplined and empathetic role model/teacher, both as Anakin's male!parental figure and as a Padawan's Jedi Master, but... Obi-Wan does that better. He's a rebel, a rule breaker; he doesn't follow the Jedi code perfectly (and, as a result of George Lucas's whiteness, is a little bit racist), but... Anakin does that better worse. Apparently ppl were mad at him for using his final words to ask Obi-Wan to train the Boy, instead of saying "I love you" or something... but I snored through that scene until Obi-Wan's Sith-slaughter woke me up... so unfortunately I didn't hear any of that shit. 🤷‍♀️

Jude Watson? I skip his POV lol. No seriously, he's pretty boring, his internal conflicts are kinda kid-like, not very Jedi-Master-like, not even really very complicated or compelling. And maybe that'd be enough to hate him, but fandom's response to the series neutralizes my opinion in his defense. Re, first two books as an example, Qui-Gon was going about minding his own business when Yoda came along and tried to shove a child onto him -- him, a man who not only didn't want and wasn't ready for a new kid (after the old one became a freak), but also explicitly stated so to Yoda numerous times. Yoda did not take no for an answer. In fact, Yoda pretty much egged Obi-Wan on to pull the same guilt-tripping nonsense, despite Qui-Gon repeatedly saying to both of them stop, no, don't. And neither Yoda nor child listened. Luckily Obi-Wan grew on Qui-Gon so everything worked out in the end, but Qui-Gon didnt do shit wrong lol. It's not his fault Obi-Wan was being sent to the agricorp. It's not his fault Obi-Wan repeatedly disobeyed everyone's instructions and put himself into danger... or that Xanatos was a sadistic freak. And it's certainly not his fault that Yoda (in these books) lacked an understanding of consent and riled up an angsty Padawan into hoping falsely. The book may be boring af, especially Qui-Gon's character arc, but give the man a break, ffs. (And stop letting Tumblr gaslight you.)

Obi-Wan Kenobi show? Yeah Qui-Gon being someone his Padawan cried to abt his nightmares made Obi-Wan look suitably pathetic and sad, and I liked that a lot. But the second Qui-Gon appeared? Ugh. You just had to ruin Depressed!Obi-Wan for me, didn't ya? 🙄 I liked you better when you were playing hard to get.

Fanfiction? Ppl can do what they want and I support them. But I am tired of how Qui-Gon is either the villain or the saint and extremely two-dimensional. That's okay to have 2d characters! It really is! They serve a purpose! But this two-dimensional Jedi ain't for me. And honestly him being angelified is just as much of a dealbreaker to me as him being demonized. I like Messy. I like Trying Hard and Failing. I like Loving and Hurting and Hating and Loving. I like whatever Obi-Wan and Anakin got going on. Qui-Gon is boring and even worse, his presence in fic tends to make Obi-Wan into a two-dimensional victim, which drags Obi-Wan into boringville too. :(

Master and Apprentice by Claudia Gray? Hmm, actually, this was some good shit. Would read again. Take notes, kids. This be how you write a Qui-Gon.

Anyway this is how I feel, and I can't help how I feel. So go enjoy your mystical, potentially abusive wildcard in peace. I won't stop you! ^_^

2. Pick a Padme outfit to be your signature look.

This one all the fucking way (and the ROTS version of this hairstyle too):

If I were in Star Wars, I'd exclusively put my hair in a bow. Also, it looks really cute on Padme specifically.

10. If you could pull a George Lucas and sneak into Disney plus and edit any Star Wars scene, what changes would you make?

I answered this question on a whim earlier, but you know what? I absolutely stand by it. Make Palpatine caress Anakin's face as he injects our favorite nineteen-year-old boy with Unwanted Sexual Sithcraft. That is the only correct scene revision.

You know something I never used to do half up hairstyle because I thought it made me look like qui gon jinn but now with my bangs I do it like every other day

For the Star Wars asks: 3, 13, 23, and 33 😘

All the 3s!! Hi Erin, I hope you had a great weekend 💕

3: Favorite character from the Prequels?

It's a tie. Because I've always loved Obi-Wan Kenobi, even before the Prequels, but especially after the Prequels. But I also have always been a Qui-Gon Jinn fan.

13: Would you want to be a Force user?

Short answer, yes. Long answer, hell yes.

23: How would you wear your hair?

I like to think I would wear my hair differently than I do normally, but honestly, I'm probably too lazy for that 😅 However, if I got my ideal hair, it would be long, as in, really long, and it would have more curl to it, but I would want to do something with a braid. Not something like the elaborate Alderaanian braids and styles, but something simpler. I love Shmi Skywalker's hairstyle.

33: Which movie have you watched the most?

Omg this is hard, because I've literally been watching Star Wars since I was four years old. If I had to guess, it's either Ep VI or Ep I.

[kyberbonsai]

But what if Qui Gon had a mullet, I hear you ask

(Click for better quality 💁‍♀️)

[ID: Seven sketches of Qui Gon Jinn’s face in different hairstyles. In the first image he has a mullet, in the second his hair is up in a tight bun with a lightsaber toy holding it in place. In the third image his hair is shor with an undercut, in the fourth his hair is long as in canon, in the fifth he has a low, messy bun. In the sixth image he has two long braids and in the seventh his hair is long and flowing over his left shoulder. End ID]

[asexual-cryptid]

I need to tell everyone that gender?? It is stored in this hairstyle.

[IMG descriptions: 3 images each of Qui-Gon Jinn (Star Wars), Blackbeard (Our Flag Means Death), and Geralt (The Witcher). Their hair is long, half of it tied back.]

quiobi, "good luck with....all of that."

[Give me a pairing and a word/phrase, and I'll write you a drabble]

The door slides shut behind Obi-Wan with a neat snick, and the silence of the apartment settles over Obi-Wan like a blanket. Or it would, if it were silent. Instead, he can hear muffled, intermittent swearing coming from the bathroom, paired with the occasional sigh.

Obi-Wan crosses the hall and opens the bathroom door to see Qui-Gon in the midst of muttering yet another extremely creative epithet directed at nothing in particular, occupied by pulling a comb through the rats nest of badly done braids, glittery pins, and suspiciously sticky hair ties currently posing as his hair.

"Visit with Leia?"

Qui-Gon doesn't jump—he's too well trained for that—but his lips are parted slightly when he turns to Obi-Wan, betraying his surprise. "She seemed to think she could replicate her mother's hairstyle on me if given enough bobby pins."

Obi-Wan presses back a smile. It's not every day that one gets to see Qui-Gon Jinn, Jedi Master and (co-)slayer of the first Sith in a millenia, brought low by anything, let alone a five year old, and Obi-Wan isn't about to ruin the experience (and opportunity for pictures) by laughing.

"Good luck with... all of that," Obi-Wan says, and lets the door shut behind him. Through it, he can hear Qui-Gon beginning to swear again, this time at him in particular, and this time he can't hold back the smirk.
