*Although a venerable Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn's maverick ways often caused friction with the Jedi Council. This proved particularly true when Qui-Gon met Anakin Skywalker, a young boy who was strong in the Force. Convinced a great destiny lay before him, Qui-Gon mentored Anakin, helping free him from slavery and accepting him as his ward. But when he presented Anakin to the Council for training, his request was rejected. It was only following his death that the Council relented, allowing Qui-Gon's former Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, to train him. *Source: Back of card
