Qui-Gon Jinn
Qui-Gon Jinn is a fictional character in the Star Wars saga, portrayed by Liam Neeson in the 1999 film Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
Introduced in The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon is a wise and powerful Jedi Master and the mentor of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Unlike other, more conservative Jedi, he values living in the moment as the best way to embrace the Force. While other Jedi respect him highly, they are frequently puzzled by his unorthodox beliefs and ultimately deny him a seat on the Jedi Council despite being among the most powerful of the Jedi.
Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are sent to the planet Naboo to resolve a political crisis. The corrupt Trade Federation had blockaded the planet with a fleet of battleships, as a protest to the Galactic Republic's recent taxation laws. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are sent as Supreme Chancellor Valorum's ambassadors to reach a peaceful settlement.
Shortly after their arrival, the Federation's Neimoidian viceroy Nute Gunray has their starship destroyed and attempts to gas them. The two Jedi survive the gas and easily defeat the battle droids assigned to reinforce the chamber entrance. Qui-Gon tries to cut through the bridge's blast doors with his lightsaber, but the arrival of Federation droidekas force him and his apprentice to escape and they stow away on troop transports invading Naboo.
On Naboo, Qui-Gon saves the life of Gungan Jar Jar Binks, earning his eternal debt in the process. Jar Jar agrees to take the two Jedi to the Gungan underwater city of Otoh Gunga, where its ruler Boss Nass gives them transport to the Naboo capital city of Theed and allows Jar Jar to go with the offworlders as a guide. Once in Theed, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan rescue Naboo's monarch, Queen Amidala, and escape with her on the royal starship. As they dash through the Federation's blockade, however, the ship is damaged by laser fire (saved only by the intervention of the astromech droid R2-D2) and the hyperdrive is destroyed. The party is forced to land on the desert planet Tatooine to make repairs.
