welcome to dan's on fandoms i'm dan the
release of kristen baver's new book
skywalker a family at war which dropped
just a few days ago
provided star wars fans with a potential
easter egg that might be teasing what's
to come
in the upcoming disney plus series star
wars obi-wan kenobi skywalker a family
at war
chronicles the history of the skywalker
family and spans the entire skywalker
saga
the book explains that obi-wan kenobi
learned to contact his former master
qui-gon jinn
using the force but that it took him
roughly 10 years after the events of
star wars revenge of the sith to do so
which would also approximately line up
with the timeline of the upcoming
obi-wan kenobi series here's an excerpt
from the book
before he and yoda had parted ways the
old jedi revealed that obi-wan's beloved
master qui-gon jinn had returned from
the netherworld of the force
manifesting his conscious mind even
after death it took 10 years but
eventually obi-wan was able to commune
with his dearest friend resurrected
within the cosmic force
the ending of revenge of the sith hinted
that qui-gon had learned the ability to
commune through the force
and seasons three and six of the clone
wars also showcased qui-gon's ability to
communicate through the force
additionally we've also gotten several
examples in canon that showcase
obi-wan communicating with force ghost
qui-gon for instance the short story
master and apprentice from the 2017
canon novel from a certain point of view
provides
insight into obi-wan's conversation with
force ghost qui-gon jinn
during the events of a new hope however
skywalker a family at war explaining
that it took obi-wan ten years after
revenge of the sith to master the
ability to speak with his dead jedi
master through the force is new
information prior to that it hadn't been
stated how long it took obi-wan
to learn the ability to speak to qui-gon
through the force while this could be me
grasping at straws the fact that it took
obi-wan ten years to master this ability
which just so happens to line up
with the timeline of the upcoming
obi-wan series seems almost too much of
a coincidence to brush off
furthermore the fact that skywalker a
family at war just dropped and
production for the obi-wan series is
just beginning
also makes it seem like this easter egg
is really dropping a clue at what's to
come in obi-wan kenobi
lucasfilm has done a really good job in
recent years of planting easter eggs in
comics or books that are hinting at
future projects so i could 100
see this as lucasfilm publishing
planting the seeds that will culminate
with fans getting to see obi-wan
speaking to force ghost qui-gon although
actor liam neeson who portrayed qui-gon
in the phantom menace
was not listed as a cast member when the
cast for obi-wan was revealed i think
it's very plausible that the series
shows obi-wan and qui-gon
speaking to each other which would be
incredible nielsen did however confirm
earlier this year that he'd be open to
playing qui-gon again
part of this series could showcase how
obi-wan came to grips with anakin's fall
to the dark side in revenge of the sith
and qui-gon could help obi-wan
in that process to reconcile with the
failure he feels in allowing anakin to
become darth vader how perfect would it
be to show obi-wan and qui-gon
speaking about anakin and all that
transpired in the aforementioned short
story master and apprentice qui-gon told
obi-wan that it was he
not obi-wan who had failed anakin after
he placed the burden of training anakin
upon obi-wan before he was even a jedi
knight
additionally since we know that hayden
christensen is reprising his role as
darth vader
it makes sense that director deborah
chao would use the actor to show
flashback scenes of anakin i mean
why cast hayden christensen to play
darth vader if all he's going to do is
portray the character
in darth vader's suit any actor could
have been casted for that kind of role
if there are flashback scenes featuring
anakin in the show
i have to imagine that it'll be because
part of the story is showing obi-wan
grappling
and coming to terms with what happened
to his apprentice and including qui-gon
into this part of the story seems like
it's too good of an opportunity to pass
up
now all of this could mean nothing and
skywalker a family at war could be doing
nothing more than stating it took
obi-wan
10 years to master the ability to speak
to his force ghost master
i just think that it's too much of a
coincidence to brush aside it'll be some
time before we know if qui-gon will
indeed
appear in star wars obi-wan kenobi but i
love the idea that we may get to see the
fallen jedi
in the show but what do you guys think
do you think we'll see qui-gon appear as
a force ghost in obi-wan kenobi
