Qui-Gon Jinn's Timeline

Qui-Gon Jinn was a maverick Human Jedi Master renowned for his deep connection to the Living Force, his unorthodox approach within the Jedi Order, and his pivotal role in discovering Anakin Skywalker. Born around ~80 BBY on Coruscant, he trained under Count Dooku before rising to the rank of Jedi Knight. As a mentor to Obi-Wan Kenobi, he led critical High Republic-era peacekeeping missions and was dispatched to resolve the Trade Federation blockade of Naboo.
