It's one of my favorites. I'll jump on the next run that looks like it's fairly accurate, but it doesn't seem to be as popular as most of the others.I always thought Qui-Gon's was an underrated design.
He can be heard in AoTC when Yoda can sense Anakin killing the TuskensHe was supposed to be talking to Yoda in the scene in ROTS, when Yoda was meditating after the birth of the twins, but Lucas cut his lines. I don't remember if he actually recorded them or not, but I was thinking that he did. I do know that Neeson appeared in TCW Mortis arc.
Micro power cells instead of one big one.... I know that's not a cutaway but that's the explanation that was given somewhere. (Maybe the Visual Dictionary)For some reason I never liked this design as much. I think if I could see a cutaway showing how it worked I would feel better. I mean with that grip you're giving up all the space inside for the electronics. The nerd in me needs an explanation before I can really like it.

All I know is that I have always liked this hilt (one of my favorites actually along with Obi-Wan's Episode 1 saber) and I will be jumping on the next run I see... which may never happen but I still want to!

Was that really him on Mortis, though? I always thought there was a good chance that it was the Son impersonating him, just as he impersonated Shmi.According to the Clone Wars episodes, Qui-gon couldn't have a Force Ghost anywhere except Mortiis, which makes me think that we'll hear him if Liam has a part, rather than see him.
It was him. Filoni clarified what was meant by Anakin and his conversation about the Son, and how it linked to the Yoda centric episodes in season 6.Was that really him on Mortis, though? I always thought there was a good chance that it was the Son impersonating him, just as he impersonated Shmi.
Also, we could see Qui-Gon in flashback in the series. Neeson really doesn’t look that much older than he did in TPM.
Thanks. When I first watched the ep, I just took it as a given that it really was Qui-Gon. But when I rewatched the series (and that episode), I wondered if we really were supposed to take that as a given, or if Filoni intended to keep it ambiguous as to whether or not it might really have been the Son.It was him.

I originally wasn't sure how to take his appearance. It wasn't until the episodes where he speaks to Yoda directly that changed my mind.Thanks.

I guess it makes sense in that the Son was focused on Anakin, and really didn’t appear to give Obi-Wan much thought.

I've always thought that Qui-Gon character was a wasted opportunity.
But was that recorded specifically for AOTC? I always assumed it was recycled from when he tells Anakin to drop as Maul is coming in TPM. The "Noooo" part never sounded like Neeson to me at all.He can be heard in AoTC when Yoda can sense Anakin killing the Tuskens
Noooo part wasn't Qui-gon. He just says the Anakin part.But was that recorded specifically for AOTC? I always assumed it was recycled from when he tells Anakin to drop as Maul is coming in TPM. The "Noooo" part never sounded like Neeson to me at all.

I felt the same way. At first it looked too simple in an uninspired way with a goofy red button that makes it look like a toy. But over the years it's grown on me a lot and I really like how understated it is.I go back and forth with this saber, but most of the time I don't really like it. I think it's because it was overused as the generic hilt design for all the low end collapsible sabers when I was younger. It's very "flashlighty" to me with the flat pommel and flared emitter end.
^ This. I appreciate the simplicity of it. Nothing fancy, no overworked ornamentation, nothing more than what he really needs.I really like how understated it is.

The OT hilts will always be my favorites but I've come to appreciate the three TPM sabers.
I'll always love the OT sabers but Qui-Gon's looks like one I would actually wield as a Jedi. Nothing to get snagged on or difficulty to hold with a control box etc.^ This. I appreciate the simplicity of it. Nothing fancy, no overworked ornamentation, nothing more than what he really needs.
