Book of Boba Fett

😍😍😍

he gives off such a popely vibe here. His Holiness

Once again, fandom has such unrecognisable takes on Qui-Gon. I keep coming across AU fan art depicting Qui-Gon in Clone Wars armour. As if Qui-Gon 'I can only protect you, I cannot fight a war for you' Jinn would actually take part in the Clone Wars! First of all, if he'd survived the Duel of the Fates, he very likely would have left the Order not long afterward to train Anakin. And if for whatever reason the Council changed their mind and gave him permission to take on Anakin, then once the war started he wouldn't have stuck around. He would have left the Order rather than fight in that damn war, and he would have taken Anakin along with him.

Qui Gon is purposely depicted as different from the Jedi and suited to Ani’s needs. I don’t know why people want to fit him within their normative view of the Jedi. In TPM, he is treated sort of like an outcast; they don’t treat his beliefs with full engagement (further supported by the tales of Jedi downplaying his concerns as imagination). Even his own student sides with the council over him. But he refuses to back down from his convictions. He refuses to believe that a child is intrinsically dangerous.
