Qui-Gon Jinn (43)

Qui-Gon Jinn is the first playable character (and one of two default opening characters) in Lego: Star Wars: Rediscovered. Along with Obi-Wan Kenobi, he is a main playable character in more levels than any other (with five total playable levels). He is a Jedi master.

Because of Qui-Gon Jinn's investigative nature and influence from his old master, Count Dooku, he (and Dooku also) are able to access the encrypted archives in the Jedi Temple.

## History

Qui-Gon had long ago done work to protect an artist from Naboo and a friend of the senate to avoid stranglers after the liquidization of his family estate. He had a faint familiarity with the culture of the biotic world and its inhabitants.

### Blockade Crisis

Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan Kenobi were sent on a secret mission by Chancellor Valorum to settle the blockade crisis.

## Statistics

* Hearts: 4
* Lightsaber: Green

## Powers and Abilities

Qui-Gon is the only character who is able to use both light and dark side abilities and is therefore able to interact with Sith Objects when at a higher level. This ability reflects Qui-Gon's unorthodox understanding of the Force and his deterance from the Jedi Council. With his unique perspective on the force, Qui-Gon is also able to use a midichloiran counter to estimate the force ability of any ally or enemy.

In general, Qui-Gon is a highly defensive character with few offensive abilities, with one of the few which he posesses being the ability to carve open certain doors with his lightsaber - negating the need for an astromech or protocol droid in certain areas.

One of Qui-Gon's ultimate abilities is Battle Meditation - which allows Qui-Gon to slow down time and meditate in battle - restoring two hearts. While at a high level of ability with the force, Qui-Gon will also at times see the force (represented by small sparks) congrugate around certain areas of interest, this being helpful to find hidden studs and other items.

### Items

Qui-Gon has a small hologram which he can use to communicate with others from a distance - which he uses to summon the Republic pilots at the beginning of the game.

## Combat Style

Qui-Gon fights with determined strikes and does not take risks with his combat maneuvers, espeically considering his age and also the fact that he was always focused more on the force rather than the art of combat. While his slow and strikes are slow and steady, they are also well planned-out and valuable. He will often patiently wait for his enemy to make a sleight of hand until he attempts to make a finishing move to end a battle.

## Character Mission

Every character in Rediscovered was given a character mission in Heroes of the Force, and Qui-Gon was no exception. His character mission involves a force vision where Qui-Gon sees a force vision of the young Anakin twisting into the corrupt and lost Darth Vader. Qui-Gon must fight off waves of enemies while experiencing the vision and accept Anakin's destiny.

### Summary

Qui-Gon is fighting Darth Maul and then while fighting stops to meditiate - in his vision he is playing catch with Anakin (boy) in the Jedi Temple - until suddenly Qui-Gon sees the ghostly vision of Darth Vader flashing in front of him. Vader begins sending waves of visions of stormtrooper enemies - who drop smoke bombs and shoot in volleys.

Qui-Gon must fight the waves and seal each door where they come out with the dark side of the force. At the end, Vader is walking in front of Qui-Gon, but looks at him oddly. Then, everything goes back to normal, and Qui-Gon hugs Anakin.

Wave 1:

* 10 stormtroopers.

Wave 2:

* 20 stormtroopers.
* Smoke bombs.

Wave 3:

* 15  stormtroopers.
* Smoke bombs.
* Volleys

Wave 4:

* 12 stormtroopers.
* Smoke bombs.
* Volleys
* Vader throws red saber - which can be blocked with dark force energy

Completing Qui-Gon's character mission rewards a hooded appearance for Qui-Gon.

## Personality

Qui-Gon was sympathetic towards those who were disenfranchised with the Republic, and had a tumultous relationship with the Jedi council. When not distratced by frivolous matters, Qui-Gon would take out a leather-bound Bible and read from it.

## Notes

* Qui-Gon has a unique hairstyle not seen on any other character in LS1
* Qui-Gon appears in more levels than any other character
