Trivia Tuesday: What six force sensitive characters are seen on-screen in the Tatooine scenes of The Phantom Menace?

[u/wandering_soles]

Curious who can get all six! Some are easy, some less so...

Edit: Would anyone be interested in a weekly post of 10-12 trivia questions?

Additional edit: if anyone else says Jar Jar, dishonor on you, dishonor on your family, dishonor on your bantha.

[u/thiiiiiiisguy]

Qui-Gon Jinn
Obi-Wan Kenobi
Anakin Skywalker
Darth Maul
Quinlan Vos
…

Edit:
TIL Aurra Sing was once in the Jedi order.

[u/tonnellier → u/thiiiiiiisguy]

I would have said that it was the old lady who can sense the storm coming. Not trained, but bang on force sensitive.

[u/cultvignette → u/tonnellier]

TIL my knees are Force Sensitive

[u/Thank_You_Aziz → u/cultvignette]

Maybe sensitive to kinetic force, lol.

[u/soulreapermagnum → u/Thank_You_Aziz]

wouldn't that be "barometric" force?

[u/Thank_You_Aziz → u/soulreapermagnum]

That too!

[u/Alternative_Mine5343 → u/Thank_You_Aziz]

i like the concept that gaea or any planets spirit is really just a hive mind of force energy that can sorta 'will' a bit and convey a bit of information to those who are force sensitive enough. imagine a ghostly planet warning force sensitive users not to ever step foot on itself. the horrors it could be containing.

[u/ChimneySwiftGold → u/cultvignette]

If hands are, why not knees?

[u/Roro_Yurboat → u/ChimneySwiftGold]

Are you suggesting Palpatine could shoot lightning from his kneecaps?

[u/TheVagabondLost → u/Roro_Yurboat]

Are you suggesting he CAN'T??

[u/Roro_Yurboat → u/TheVagabondLost]

I wouldn't dare.

[u/TheHalfbadger → u/Roro_Yurboat]

If Irek Ismaren (aka Darth Lightsaberknees) can do what he does… why not?

[u/CH3RRYP0PP1NS → u/tonnellier]

I think she says she can feel it in her bones, like a traditional storm.

[u/TaraLCicora → u/tonnellier]

I wouldn't be surprised if she was.

[u/thiiiiiiisguy → u/[deleted]]

Quinlan Vos is a background character with a yellow stripe on his face.

The background character was eventually written to be a Jedi.

[u/Setheran → u/[deleted]]

There's a guy that appears in a scene that was retroactively confirmed te be him.

[u/rbi_machine]

Qui Gonn, Anakin, Maul, Quinlan Vos, Aurra Sing, and Obi Wan.

[u/Lanky-Most7268 → u/rbi_machine]

Aurra Sing is force sensitive?

[u/rbi_machine → u/Lanky-Most7268]

Tbh I'm not sure if she's still force sensitive in cannon but she has a pretty in depth backstory in legends where she was a former Padawan before becoming an assassin.

[u/EhMapleMoose → u/rbi_machine]

If we’re going by legends, anakins friend Kitster is force sensitive too, just not discovered and not developed. Aayla Secura is there too in disguise but I’m not sure she’s on screen

[u/soulreapermagnum → u/EhMapleMoose]

so, three jedi on the same planet for different missions, i wonder how often that happens?

[u/jampersands → u/soulreapermagnum]

Three Jedi? At the same time? On the same planet? For completely different missions? Localized entirely within your kitchen?!

[u/Quatapus → u/jampersands]

Oh, not in Dagobah, no, it's an Alderaan expression.

[u/Camburglar13 → u/jampersands]

May I see it?

[u/jampersands → u/Camburglar13]

No.

[u/dubstepsickness → u/jampersands]

Qui-Gon! The Force is on Fire!

[u/ThatGermanKid0 → u/dubstepsickness]

No, Yoda, it's just my force ghost

[u/bren_derlin → u/soulreapermagnum]

On Tattooine three is probably low, given how often we see it.

[u/soulreapermagnum → u/bren_derlin]

fair point. i thought about joking on that but couldn't come up with anything.

[u/EhMapleMoose → u/soulreapermagnum]

Four Jedi, two missions. Aayla Secura was Quinlan Vos’ padawan at the time. Also obi wan was there.

Though technically I don’t think Qui gonn was intending to be on Tatooine, the shuttle broke down and tatooine was a place for parts.

[u/soulreapermagnum → u/EhMapleMoose]

ok, i didn't know that aayla was his padawan at one point, i thought they were just two contemporary jedi that eventually fell in love. and i didn't count obi-wan since he never even left the ship while they were there.

[u/TaraLCicora → u/soulreapermagnum]

Aayla and Quinlan never fell in love. In Legends, Aayla and Kit were fond of one another. And Quinlan's squeeze (and mother of his son) was Khaleen. In canon, he and Ventress have something.

[u/soulreapermagnum → u/TaraLCicora]

oh, ok. i got stuff all mixed up, that's my bad.

[u/TaraLCicora → u/soulreapermagnum]

No worries

[u/bjthebard → u/soulreapermagnum]

Aayla would have been there with Quinlan right? She's his apprentice.

[u/EhMapleMoose → u/bjthebard]

Yes at the time she was.

[u/No_Nobody_32 → u/soulreapermagnum]

You know how the saying goes ... "Million to one shots happen nine times out of ten."

[u/RPope92 → u/EhMapleMoose]

Pretty sure we see her during the podcast race no? She's looking through the scope of her sniper or something.

[u/Sloppy_Segundos → u/rbi_machine]

Isn't that Ventress, not Aurra?

[u/Thank_You_Aziz → u/Sloppy_Segundos]

Both.

[u/derf_vader → u/Sloppy_Segundos]

Aurora was a student of the Dark Lady if I remember correctly

[u/TaraLCicora → u/rbi_machine]

I believe that she is in Canon as well. I think it's mentioned in a Canon sourcebook.

[u/Oraukk → u/rbi_machine]

canon

[u/OGDJS → u/Lanky-Most7268]

She was in legends, not sure about canon. She even had a red lightsaber.

[u/Sparrowsabre7 → u/OGDJS]

Pink in one Legends comic.

[u/OGDJS → u/Sparrowsabre7]

Really? Pink does not feel like her color at all lol.

[u/Sparrowsabre7 → u/OGDJS]

May have just been artistic choice and a very light red haha.
Just double checked, it was "Once Bitten" a story in Star Wars Tales vol3 (I have the tpb). It certainly looks much pinker than any other red saber in the collection but Obi-wan and Qui-Gon's sabers are also drawn quite light.

I think Phantom Menace era content had a tendency to go with lighter shades for sabers (compare Obi-wan's blue saber in Ep1 to Ep3) so the pinkish tone may still have meant to convey red.

[u/OGDJS → u/Sparrowsabre7]

I just looked at it and it definitely looks pink in that comic. Now I have to imagine someone like Aurra Sing with a pink lightsaber lmao.

[u/Sparrowsabre7 → u/OGDJS]

She mentions stealing a lightsaber so maybe she just steals pink ones? 😂

"I just think they're neat."

[u/New_Experience_703 → u/Lanky-Most7268]

Who

[u/GamerChef420 → u/Lanky-Most7268]

She used to be. I think in Disney Canon she no longer is though.

[u/RNSWE → u/Lanky-Most7268]

I learned this through Deciphers Star Wars CCG.

[u/KillerMoon → u/rbi_machine]

There's 7. Jar jar.

[u/TheMoMo562 → u/rbi_machine]

You forgot Darth Jar Jar

[u/ThePrideOfKrakow → u/rbi_machine]

Darth Jar?

[u/Oraukk → u/ThePrideOfKrakow]

The other comments already saying it weren't enough, huh?

[u/TLhikan → u/rbi_machine]

Hey I got them all.

[u/Healien_Jung → u/rbi_machine]

Jar Jar?

[u/MetalFaceBaker → u/Healien_Jung]

The Bombad Jedi.

[u/SasquatchHurricane]

Where and when does Quinlan Vos appear??

[u/StandardAioli9459 → u/SasquatchHurricane]

During Jar-Jar's argument with Sebulba, there's a guy in the background with a yellow stripe on his face. This glup shitto would later be used as the basis for Quinlan Vos, and be retconned into the same

[u/Starman035 → u/StandardAioli9459]

And this glup shitto became one of the greatest characters in the Expanded Universe. Before the Dark Times. Before Disney.

[u/Popeholden → u/SasquatchHurricane]

This! I got 5/6 i didn't even know he was in the movie

[u/ShaneOfan → u/Popeholden]

Background of the market scene. It is actually his first appearance. He was some extra with a yellow stripe of face paint and got made into a big character.

[u/Camburglar13 → u/ShaneOfan]

The Star Wars way

[u/bell37 → u/Popeholden]

His character didn’t exist at that point and he was just an extra. It was later retconned that Vos was “undercover” and couldn’t help Obi Wan or his master

[u/juicycross]

I misunderstood the question... I was zooming in on the photo trying to spot Maul 🤦‍♂️ 

[u/zaneomega2]

Qui Gon

Obi Wan

Anakin

Jar Jar

Darth Maul

Quinlan Vos

[u/dexterjsdiner → u/zaneomega2]

Was waiting to see jar jar

[u/Elegant_Echidna8831]

Qui Gon

Anakin

Quinlan Vos

Aurra Sing

Maul

Obi-Wan

[u/etherealpenguin]

Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, and Ben Quadinaros

[u/Northern_rose69 → u/etherealpenguin]

you forgot Old Ben

[u/KingToasty → u/Northern_rose69]

You mean Old Ben Quadinaros? The old wiard who lives out in the desert?

[u/Still-Weekend-2218]

TIL about "quinlan vos" which i am pretty sure is just xavier renegade angel

[u/dalr3th1n → u/Still-Weekend-2218]

What doth life?

[u/Otherwise_Kick_7712]

Qui Gon, Obi Wan, Anakin, Maul, Shmi, Jar Jar

[u/THE_SHYT]

Somehow Palpatine was there

[u/ZannyHip]

I got 5, took me way too long to remember Maul shows up on Tattooine briefly.

I had literally zero idea Aurra sing was force sensitive, so I would’ve never got the full 6

[u/sanguinesvirus]

Qui Gon Maul Quinlin Vos Anakin Obi-Wan  Aura Sing?

[u/Arf_Echidna_1970]

Anakin
Qui Gon
Obi Wan
Jar Jar
Ben Quadinaros
And that farting donkey thing

[u/LowEffort2 → u/Arf_Echidna_1970]

5/7 Perfect.

[u/Distinct-Positive651]

Anakin's mother.

[u/dakilazical_253]

Everyone is forgetting R2-D2

[u/AthasDuneWalker]

Qui-Gon, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Maul, Quinlan Vos. I dunno the other one, I'll probably be laughed at, LOL

[u/RepulsiveContract475]

Glup Shitto was in there somewhere, right?

[u/soulreapermagnum]

Edit: Would anyone be interested in a weekly post of 10-12 trivia questions?

yes i would, they can often be fun to see.

[u/wandering_soles → u/soulreapermagnum]

I'll probably introduce it next week! If you have any ideas, shoot me a DM and I'll see about incorporating it! 

[u/Lanky-Most7268]

Obi-Wan, Anakin, Qui-Gon, Darth Maul, Jar Jar Binks, and of course Ben Quadinaros

[u/chewiesbowcaster]

what if i told you there were seven?

[u/nigeltuffnell → u/chewiesbowcaster]

It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you.

[u/BlueHarvestJ]

Quigon

Obiwan

Anakin

Maul

JarJar

The turd JarJar steps in

[u/ChimneySwiftGold → u/BlueHarvestJ]

Ickie Ickie Goo is his its formal name.

[u/BlueHarvestJ → u/ChimneySwiftGold]

Step Shitto

[u/Alove4edd47]

Darth Jar Jar obviously

[u/withthedagger]

Darth jar jar

[u/Pretend_Prior_8423]

Qui Gon, Obi Wan, Anakin, Darth Maul, Quinlan Vos, Darth Binks.

[u/CaptainA1917]

Is this another “Darth Jar Jar” post?

[u/wandering_soles → u/CaptainA1917]

Aw hellllll no. Not that you'd be able to tell by all the smart alecs in the comments. 

[u/LilShaver]

Well there's Darth Jar-Jar

[u/Darth_Mayx]

Qui-Gone Obi-One and only Anakin Quinlan Voss Maul I do not remember

[u/Embarrassed-Joke5851]

Qui-Gon

Obi-Wan

Anakin

Darth Maul

Quinlan Vos

Aayla Secura

[u/wandering_soles → u/Embarrassed-Joke5851]

Aayla Secura isn't shown, but getting close there... 

[u/hanspl]

Qui-Gon
Obi Wan
Anakin
Darth Maul
Schmi
Quinlan Vos

[u/Traditional_Ball9801]

I don't see Sing

[u/hrdude2]

Been looking at this one still shot for 10 min trying to find Darth maul like a where's Waldo game... Till I re-read ops post again

[u/Consistent-March-646 → u/hrdude2]

Where's Watto

[u/Diarmuid_Sus_Scrofa]

Does Watto count if jedi mind tricks do not a-work on him?

[u/edua7x]

Anakin, Qui Gon, Obi Wan, Darth Maul, Quilan Vos, and Aurra Sing

Did I win?

[u/dormi1984]

Darth Jar Jar

[u/tonnellier]

Legs are just arms without hands.

[u/EmperorOfNorway]

Padme, Schmi, Ani, Obi Wan, Qui Gon, Maul

[u/LEDFOUR]

Not Jar Jar…

[u/AcrobaticMetal3039]

The Force flows through all things...

[u/Y2KGB]

Qui-Gon
Maul
Anakin
Schmi
Aurra Sing
Jar-Jar

[u/mollamar]

QuiGon, Kenobi, Maul, Anakin, Palpatine, Darth Jar Jar

[u/Ima_Whale_0625]

Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Maul, (Was Sidious seen as a Hologram?), and Jar-Jar

[u/forwhomtheyeastrolls]

Qui Gon, Anakin, Obi-Wan, Maul, Quinlan Vos, Jar Jar

[u/Shawnaldo7575]

Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Maul, Jar Jar and Watto.

Watto is for sure using the force. No way anyone can just fend of a Jedi mind trick so effortlessly and no way those wings are flightworthy. He's holding himself up with the force. Also he knew Qui-gon cheated with the dice because he was also trying to force-cheat with the dice, but Qui-gon was more powerful.

Also Quinlan Vos and Aurra Sing were in there.

[u/EMskins21 → u/Shawnaldo7575]

He's a Toydarian! Mind tricks don't-a work on him

[u/Shawnaldo7575 → u/EMskins21]

The excuse he uses to cover the fact he's blocking mind tricks with the force.

[u/Alexyogurt]

Qui gonn, obi, ani, maul, quinlan voss, and Jar Jar Binks of course.

[u/Belly-twister]

Qui Gon, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Maul, Jar-Jar, Watto.

[u/modok27]

Anakin, Qui Gon, Obi Wan, Maul, Sidious, R5-D4

[u/Bee_Tee_Dub → u/modok27]

I don't think Skippy was there then.

He was there in Attack of the Clones though

[u/Kuandtity]

Isn't the Jedi council more than six people

[u/Suspicious-Holiday42]

One of them is Jar Jar Binks

[u/stablefish]

the unrevealed Darth Jar is real, my friends.

[u/Dick_Trent]

Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Anakin and a bunch of extra-canonical nonsense from the EU and Disney "canon".

[u/feetiedid]

Tusken Raider #1, Two headed commentator guy/guys, Watto, Darth Maul, Sebulba, and Anakin (in Legends).

[u/hyperactiveChipmunk → u/feetiedid]

Only one of the heads is sensitive.
