Qui-Gon Jinn

Qui Gon Jinn is the Jedi Master to Obi-Wan Kenobi and the former apprentice to Count Dooku. The first minifigure of this Jedi Master was released in 1999 and in set #7121, also known as the Naboo Swamp set, and has had several upgrades to the minifigure since then.

Minifigure
The new Qui-Gon Jinn minifigure from 2015 has standard Jedi robes, with a new expression on his head, and a belt across his chest. These upgrades add much more detail to the minifigure since its first release in 1999. Recently, in 2016, a new version of the Sith Interceptor will show a new Qui-Gon in his Tatooine disquise he wore so that nobody knew he was a Jedi.

History in Star Wars
Qui-Gon Jinn was the Jedi padawan to Count Dooku during the years before the Clone Wars and later became a Jedi Master. During the Trade Federation's Blockade of Naboo, Qui-Gon was sent by Chancellor Finnis Valorum, with his padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, to negotiate with Vicroy Nute Gunray of the Federation about removing the blockade. However, this turned out to be a trap and Qui-Gon, along with Obi-Wan, retreated to Naboo, where they rescued the Queen of Naboo, Padme Amidala, and a few of her security agents. But, during their escape, their ship's hyperdrive was damaged and they were forced to land on the nearby desert planet of Tatooine. It was during this time when Qui-Gon found a young Anakin Skywalker and decided to free him from slavery to train him as a Jedi Knight, as he believed he was the Chosen One, a Jedi who would destroy the Sith and the Dark Side of the Force. However, while returning to their newly fixed ship, Qui-Gon and Anakin were attacked by the Zabrak Sith Lord, Darth Maul. After this brief encounter, and a failed attempt to gain help from the Galactic Republic regarding the Trade Federation's take over of Naboo, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and the Queen returned to Naboo, where they fought against the Federation's Droid Army with the aid of the Gungan Grand Army and retook Naboo. It was during this, however, Qui-Gon was killed by Darth Maul in front of Obi-Wan, who in return cut Maul in half and shoved him down a trash pit. As a part of Qui-Gon's dying wish, Obi-Wan would train Anakin as his Jedi Padawan.
