Qui Gon Jinn

Qui Gon Jinn was a Jedi Master who tutored Obi-Wan Kenobi in the ways of the Force. A wise and well-respected Jedi, Qui Gon was skilled in both Force power and lightsaber combat and he taught Obi-Wan all he knew.

Qui-Gon was aboard the Radiant VII with Obi-Wan when it landed in the hangar bay of the Saak'ak, and escaped the ship before it was destroyed. It was at this point that Jinn was renamed Gin, as he developed an alcohol addiction and for some reason took Jar Jar Binks as a companion. Odd.

He was later killed by Darth Maul on Naboo, and was the first Jedi casulty of Darth Sidious's evil plan to overthrow the Republic...
