The son of a farmer , the Human male Force - sensitive Feemor was chosen to be trained as a Jedi . Feemor was taken as the first apprentice of Jedi Knight Qui - Gon Jinn at some point after Jinn brought a young boy named Xanatos to the Jedi Temple on the galactic capital of Coruscant . Under Jinn ' s guidance , Feemor successfully became a Jedi Knight . His Knighthood also saw Jinn promoted to the rank of Jedi Master . Jinn then took Xanatos as his second student . In 53 BBY , Feemor participated in a training lightsaber duel against Jinn and Xanatos at the heart of the Jedi Temple . Feemor and Xanatos both attacked Jinn with their lightsabers , but he repelled all of their attacks with ease . As the fight continued , Jinn and Xanatos locked their lightsabers , and the latter told Feemor to attack Jinn from the Master ' s left side . Jinn used the Force to throw Feemor to the ground , but in doing so Jinn loosened the grip on his lightsaber , allowing Xanatos to knock the lightsaber out of Jinn ' s hands and win the fight . As such , Xanatos merely used Feemor to achieve victory for himself . Xanatos boasted on his victory , priding in his noble ancestry , and Jinn had to reprimand his apprentice for such behavior . Jinn then spoke to Feemor , telling his former student that he was proud of his skills , after which Feemor left the site of the duel . Immediately thereafter , Jinn and Xanatos were assigned to quell a civil war on Xanatos ' s homeworld of Telos IV . However , during the mission , Xanatos was corrupted by wealth and power and rebelled against his Master , abandoning the Jedi way . Jinn ' s failure with Xanatos prompted him to dismiss his earlier success as Feemor ' s teacher , and he began to refer to Xanatos as his first Padawan . Personality and traits . After he became a Jedi Knight , Feemor came to miss his training with his Master , Qui - Gon Jinn . Feemor was visibly hurt when Xanatos admitted that he had used Feemor , stating that the latter had been destined to lose the training fight due to his humble origins . Feemor had blond hair , blue eyes and a fair skin complexion . Powers and abilities . Feemor was unable to defeat his former Master in battle , as Qui - Gon Jinn easily repulsed him with the Force several times . However , Jinn was proud of Feemor ' s skills and believed that his speed of attacks had improved since their last training . Jinn felt that Feemor was ready to take a Padawan of his own and believed that Grand Master Yoda would soon assign him one . Jinn also believed that said student would be lucky to have Feemor as his Master . Feemor wielded a blue - bladed lightsaber in battle . Behind the scenes . For many years since the introduction of Qui - Gon Jinn in the of the 1999 film and the exploration of his early life in subsequent Expanded Universe material , there existed a discrepancy regarding the number of apprentices whom Jinn had during his life . Although most sources detailing Jinn ' s early life — such as the " Jedi Apprentice " book series by Jude Watson — stated that Xanatos was Jinn ' s first apprentice and Obi - Wan Kenobi his second , " " included a passing mention of another apprentice before Xanatos . Authors Daniel Wallace and Haden Blackman planned to elaborate upon this apprentice in " The Essential Guide to Episode I " . Blackman developed a female Cathar Jedi for the role of Jinn ' s Padawan , but " The Essential Guide to Episode I " was cancelled , and Lucasfilm Ltd . decided that " The Visual Dictionary " had been in error regarding the existence of the first apprentice . In 2002 , " The New Essential Guide to Characters " reiterated this position by stating that Xanatos was Jinn ' s first apprentice . However , the thirty - fifth issue of " The Official Star Wars Fact File " once again included the mention of the apprentice before Xanatos . The contradiction was finally resolved in Jinn ' s Databank entry on StarWars . com , which stated that Jinn dismissed his success in training the first apprentice after his failure with Xanatos . In 2011 , the comic book " Jedi — The Dark Side 1 " featured a scene of a Jedi Knight named Feemor practicing combat against Jinn and Xanatos . Subsequent dialogue in the comic implied that Feemor had once trained under Jinn . The comic ' s writer , Scott Allie , later confirmed via that Feemor was Jinn ' s first apprentice , finally establishing the Padawan ' s identity almost twelve years after his offhand mention in " The Visual Dictionary " .
