You know how, in one of my favorite parts of The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon’s like “guess what friends I totally found the Chosen One” and everyone is like SIGH UGH Ohhhhkay QUI-GON. And Mace Windu is like [side-eye] “You believe it’s this…boy?” while looking totally done?
I was thinking about this and realized what we really need is an AU where the reason they’re so annoyed by all of this and don’t take it 100% seriously is that this isn’t even close to the first time Qui-Gon has claimed to have found the Chosen One. Like, the Order already has a slew of initiates that came to the Order in the first place because at one point or another Qui-Gon was sure they were the Chosen One. He’s brought home plant life and brought it to the Council Room and been like, “It was the will of the Force that I bring back this shrub: I believe it is the Chosen One.”
Probably also why they were completely not buying that he had been attacked by a Sith on Tatooine:
“We were attacked by a group of Sith lords in those caves.”
“A swarm of Mynocks, your Padawan reported, Master Qui-Gon.”
*cackles* YES HE TOTALLY CRIES WOLF ABOUT THE DAMN SITH ALL THE TIME.
“I am sorry we missed the meeting. I was terribly injured by an unknown assailant. I can only conclude that it must have been a Sith Lord.” Meanwhile Obi-Wan is standing behind him in the Council Room, slowly shaking his head and mouthing “no it wasn’t. He got stung by a bee.”
I fucking needed this today, thank you
