I love Qui-Gon :D He's supposed to be a big serene Master who knows the mysteries of life, and in fact he's all: *sob* My padawan left me!

That bit (I hope this is the right book) where Obi-Wan saves the turbo-lift children and then gets a smackdown from the Council for it, is so wrenching. He thinks he's worth nothing because Qui-Gon left. Meanwhile, Qui-Gon's off having palpitations over the thought of losing Obi-Wan. Aw. Their love, it is insane.
