jedi apprentice

I kinda have this headcanon that padawan Qui-Gon was really an awkward, gangly type of kid when growing up. Nose slightly too big for his face, limbs everywhere, irritating teenagerhood acne, all that stuff

Tahl adores his awkwardness, of course, even though he can barely enter a room without forgetting how big he is and knocking everything over

Then one day lil’ teenage Qui-Gon heads off on a two-year-long mission with Dooku and when he gets back he looks, well, like Liam Neeson

and Tahl is like

oh shiiiiit

Obi-Wan & Bant + Qui-Gon & Tahl

Bant was one of my fav charas in the Jedi Apprentice series but there’s so little art of her…understandable, drawing Mon Calamari is HARD. >.>;

I know Tahl looks quite different from her comic depiction, but this is kind of how I imagined her. I had a chat with @deadcatwithaflamethrower a while ago and we agreed that we both disliked her comic hair and outfit. I have no clue if this is how she imagines Tahl, but this is my take on (Padawan) Tahl ^ ^

(also Qui-Gon’s hair is long + in a hamster tail b/c I personally interpret the Padawan cut as encouraged but not mandatory. And well, if anyone were to ignore suggestions, it’d be Qui-Gon…)

Guys, shiny fan art!

Jedi Apprentice: The Captive Temple

Like the last one, pretty much half the book was just Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan moping around, sad because they’re not on good terms with each other, all the while constantly worrying about each other’s safety.

Obi-Wan had taken a chance. No doubt about that. Qui-Gon’s steps faltered momentarily as he recalled how he felt when he arrived at the lake and realized that Obi-Wan was in the turbolift shaft. A deep sense of dread had pierced him. What if the shaft had broken free before the Masters had arrived? What if Obi-Wan had perished? Qui-Gon’s heart stopped at the thought.

His hurried pace resumed. He had learned much over the past weeks about how the heart could surprise you. He was beginning to realize just how intricate and deep the bonds were between him and his former Padawan.

And then there are the ducts acting as secret passages within the temple. It’s just asking for trouble. They narrowly avert Xanatos’ plans, but what do you know, wait a few years and you’ve got Cad Bane to deal with. And he succeeds.

Xanatos’ catch phrase should just be “I am here to ruin everything (again).”

I keep forgetting that the Jedi Temple is actually on Coruscant and that Coruscant is nothing but a giant city and that if you jump out a window you’ll just land on someone’s flying car. 

Every time Obi-Wan is sad or lonely, all I can hear is “just you wait, just you wait” going through my head. Obi-Wan, buddy, this is just the beginning.

Obi-Wan leaves the Jedi, comes back, asks the council for forgiveness, gets put on probation, then immediately turns around and tells Qui-Gon he’ll go off and help in Qui-Gon’s (council unsanctioned) quest, even though that’ll probably just land him in even more hot water. Tiny Obi-Wan is precious.
