so i accidentally watched phantom menace first and accidentally came out w a fav
qui gon jinn
Merry Christmas @morgynleri !! you said you like Qui-Gon Jinn and I was like ‘ah yeah there aren’t enough Qui-Gon Jinn gifsets’ so I hope you like it!
xoxo your secret santa
I think qui gon is a really good mentor, like he doesn’t manipulate at all. He’s straight up with obi wan, and he raised him so well.
this is v true. qui gon kept his manipulations to manipulating the council and the people around him, not his family
(b/c really: qui gon and obi wan are totally family and it breaks my heart)
(hell yeah)
It’s weird because he really skirts the line of being a manipulative jerk at times. Just not to Obi-Wan. Not to any child under his care. In Jedi Apprentice grief sometimes leads him to shut Obi-Wan out, but he’s never more than honest and apologetic about it afterwards. And I don’t think he ever, ever lies to him.
(Honestly, at this point Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan probably take the crown for Most Healthy Father-Son Relationship in the entire Star Wars saga.)
qui-gon reminds me of dumbledore, what with the manipulation and the snark, except he’s good. he is Good Dumbledore
qui-gon jinn is what mentors like dumbledore and charles xavier wish they could be, and i will go to bat for qui-gon any day of the week
A Snow Song
It is Star Wars and it is also Christmas!
However, Star Wars does not have a Christmas! Or any kind of holiday season, I gather. That did not stop me from writing this spoiler-laden, slightly Clone Wars-borrowing-from take on A Christmas Carol. Luke is about to be visited by three spirits! Ooh yes.
[I wasn’t kidding when I said ‘spoiler-laden’! This will ruin the movie for you if you haven’t seen it!]
(more…)i will step up to defend the necessity of the phantom menace as a character piece for everyone involved but i get the feeling nobody actually wants to hear me spend ages talking about how important qui gon jinn is to the thematic coherence of the star wars saga, so.
I DO. I DO. I DO. I DO. I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s one of my favourite characters of literally ALL TIME
