Hello, today we mourn the death of Qui-Gon, although he died a long, long time ago, we salute his courage.

How many Jedi, would stop during a time of invasion to help a freakish looking creature. How many Jedi would try to save this creature's life? How many Jedi would bet their only possible chance of escape on a boy and a pod-racer? How many Jedi would take this boy to the Jedi Council and try to get his dreams to come true?

Plus, when people try to remember all of the main Jedi, Qui-Gon often gets forgotten.

This Jedi was kiled by a ruthless Sith, but he stuck around long enough to give his victorious padawan one last request. One request, from a selfless man, one request from one who had given so much, expecting nothing in return. One request, that would change the fate of one boy, and of the whole galaxy. Although it seems that this request turned out to be the undoing of the galaxy, it eventually gave birth to a new hero, and saved the galaxy from the evil Emperor. It was the request that Anakin be trained. One request that changed the galaxy for the better.

Qui-Gon was often thought of as having maverick views. He wanted to do things his own way. But he wasn't selfish, he did what he had to do to make the world a little brighter for every human, creature, or animal that he met along the way.

So, in conclusion, we remember Qui-Gon, a brave Jedi and a loving master.

Feel free to post a little comment on what you admire about Qui-Gon the most, or just post a little goodbye to our Jedi friend.

May the Force be with us all! God bless!
