Minifigure Background[]
The Qui-Gon Jinn minifigure has been made many different times. He first appeared in 1999, in a set called Lightsaber Duel, and right after Lightsaber Duel was released, two more sets with him in it were released, those being Naboo Swamp and Gungan Sub. Qui-Gon's minifigure had the classic Jedi robes torso, and brown legs, and his head had slightly frowning eyes, with the eyes being made only out of black dots. He had a thin beard going from the top of one side of his face to the other. He also had two small moustaches that had pointed ends. The minifigure's hands and head were yellow, and he had the normal Qui-Gon Jinn hair, with two braids on the front, and one bigger braid down the back. He always came with a brown cape. There will be 2 more sets that were released throughout 1999-2000, those being Mos Espa Podrace and Jedi Defense II, though those will keep the same design. The second version of the Qui-Gon Jinn minifigure only appeared in one set, called Republic Cruiser, in 2007. His head and hands were exactly the same, except that they were a tan color. His outfit was different with a different belt and robe design, and the pants color matched the outfit. It too had a brown cape, as well now a brown hood to cover his braids. The third version of Qui-Gon came out in 2011, in Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator, and was much like the first version. He had the same brown legs, hair, and cape. But, the design on the torso piece was once again different, wearing the new design of the Jedi robes (the same torso piece appeared on the Obi-Wan Kenobi minifigure in 2011). The head and hands were again tan, and the head piece was much different. The face painted on the head piece featured the new version of eyes, and had a darker shade of brown on the beard and moustache. Also, the moustache connected, and his eyebrows were in a different position. Over the years since then, the 2011 design has been perfected, having such changes as a better hair color, dual leg printing, and a more accurate greyer beard on him.

Video Game Background[]
In 32 BBY, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi were sent by the Jedi Council to negotiate with the Trade Federation to stop the invasion of Naboo. The federation leader, Nute Gunray, ordered them to be killed instead. The Jedi escaped into one of the federation's landing spacecrafts and escaped to Naboo. Qui-Gon saved the Gungan Jar Jar Binks, who led them to Otoh Gunga. From there, he used a mind trick on Boss Nass, then left in a Gungan Sub. They went to Theed and rescued Queen Amidala, then flew in her Royal Starship, but the hyperdrive was damaged, and they had to land on Tatooine. Qui-Gon had to buy a new hyperdrive, but he could not afford it, but he met a boy named Anakin Skywalker, who promised to help them gain the money by competing in the Boonta Eve Podrace. Anakin won, and Qui-Gon managed to free him and took him with them back to Coruscant to see if the Jedi Council would accept the boy as a Jedi. Queen Amidala returned to Naboo, and Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Anakin and Jar Jar went with her. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan fought the Sith Darth Maul, and Qui-Gon was killed, ending his story.
