"Obi-Wan, promise... promise you will train the boy.  He is the Chosen One.  He will bring balance.  Train him..."  Qui-Gon Jinn Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace

Defiant to the end, with his last breath the venerable Qui-Gon Jinn exacts a fateful promise from his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, to train a young slave boy named Anakin Skywalker to become a Jedi Knight.

During a mission to settle a simple trader dispute between the greedy Trade Federation and the peaceful world of Naboo, Qui-Gon and his apprentice become embroiled in a sinister plot engineered by the mysterious Darth Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith.

Escaping and ambush, the Jedi land on the Outer Rim world of Tatooine, where Qui-Gon meets a young slave boy, Anakin Skywalker.  A practitioner of the Living Force, Qui-Gon sensed the boy to be the :Chosen One," a Jedi who will bring unity and balance to the Force,and request permission of the Jedi Counsil to train the boy.  Fearing Anakin's future to be clouded and uncertain, the Council refuses.

As the nefarious scheme of the evil Darth Sidious reaches its climax, the vile Sith Lord's apprentice, Darth Maul, kills Qui-Gon in battle.  Mindful of his beliefs, Qui-Gon swore Obi-Wan to carry out his last wish, setting in motion a chain of events that would bring chaos, but ultimately peace, to the galaxy.

In Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon's lightsaber was machined by the prop department from aluminum.  Resin parts were cast and a rare, red aircraft button was added as decoration.  Working directly from surviving props in the Lucasfilm archives, Master Replicas' engineers have crafted a replica of the hero version of the hilt from machined and die cast parts, featuring never before seen details, and a red anodized button complete with the rare knurl of the original.

We hope that you enjoy adding this replica of the maverick Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn's lightsaber to your collection.
