Just replace gambling with making drugs and steal with kill and this could be about Paul Atreides
-
In all fairness Paul is very much not meant to be the good guy like Qui-Gon ostensibly is.

The book is a critique of popular leaders.
Not seeing that is just bad media literacy,
Like missing the satire of starship troopers (movie)

Pretty sure you can do that with the whole series

And then he ascended into heaven. What did George mean by this??
-
He actually used a secret Jedi technique to continue to hold Dominion over the living after death, which they’d definitely have been called “perverse and unnatural” if a Sith Lord did it.

As Mr Plinkett pointed out over a decade ago, Qui-Gon might as well have just beaten Watto up and stolen the ship part.
What I can never wrap my head around is if Qui-Gon being a dumbass is supposed to be some kind of intentional deconstruction of the Jedi, or if George is just a sloppy screenwriter with questionable ethics. The latter seems more likely, and is supported by Qui-Gon being a force ghost.

I love how Obi-Wan suggests that they just throw a few card games using the Force to pay for their engine, and Qui-Gon's response is basically, "No, that wouldn't be right. We need to put a child in danger so he can throw a race with the Force."

"Property rights (to slaves) must be respected, but I will absolutely cheat at dice. Yes, my quasi-religion specifically says all life is sacred and connected, what's that got to do with anything? Leave the mom. She's old and useless to raising a child with no strong regrets or fears."
