Qui-Gon Jinn is the overarching protagonist of the Star Wars franchise.
He was a wise, yet maverick Jedi Master who was active during the Fall of the Republic, and was also the last Jedi Padawan of Dooku and the mentor of Obi-Wan Kenobi. He discovered the young Anakin Skywalker, whom he believed to be the prophesized Chosen One, and intended to train him in the ways of the Force.
