Just because they could make sense doesn't make them less cliché, and being cliché doesn't make them wrong. There are other points of view for each subject that aren't generally explored.

Actually, I like the idea of Qui-Gon being short as a kid, and then going ZOOOOM! at puberty -- and not quite settling into it for a few years, because every time it seems he's gotten over the clumsiness, he grows another 5 cm.

I kind of like the idea of not being super protective of pathetic lifeforms until he learned some lesson, myself. My father, who just spent most of the morning leading a bunch of ants out of the kitchen back toward their home, hunted things until he shot a rabbit and it didn't die. So. You know. With the pathetic sounds and having to put it out of its misery.

If it were still a big deal that bothered him, I wouldn't have used it as an example. :P
