REVIEW: Star Wars – Jedi – The Dark Side #4

Our lovable GONK is back with another Star Wars comics review, this time Star Wars: Jedi – The Dark Side #4

Qui-Gon Jinn and his padawan Xanatos butt heads as an insurrection on Telos IV escalates in Star Wars: Jedi – The Dark Side #4 . As the Jedi close in on who is behind the attacks on Xanatos’ home planet, their opponents try to stay ahead of them, setting up for full war. Qui-Gon continues his undercover role and gets the bulk of the action in this issue, while his apprentice deals with his anger – first at returning home and facing his father, Lord Crion, then at the death of newly-discovered sister.

Previously, Qui-Gon returned from arranging a meeting with Telosian arms dealers to find that Crion was under attack by insurgents. In the fight, Xanatos’ sister, Nason was killed, and a shadowy figure escaped – but was recognized by Qui-Gon as Dairoki, a former Jedi student. After the battle, Jedi Master Tahl, gets a new assignment, leaving Qui-Gon in charge of the Telos investigation and of the other padawan on the team, the masterless Orykan. The Telosians present a lightsaber as evidence of involvement in the ambush by the Antarian Rangers, allies of the Jedi, and accuse the Jedi of witholding information on the case. Changed after the death of his sister, Xanatos quits the investigation to focus on protecting his father.

Qui-Gon’s back-alley meeting with Welleques, the arms smuggler, turns violent, but before the Jedi Master can question the criminal about how the Antarian Rangers or a former Jedi link to the insurgency, a sniper’s shot silences the gunrunner. Back at the governor’s palace, while Xanatos sleeps at his guard post, Dairoki sneaks in and argues with Lord Crion over their bungled plan to secretly manipulate the insurgents and implicate the Antarian Rangers. Enraged that his daughter was a casualty of their plans and fearing that Dairoki’s identity was discovered the Jedi, Crion sends the scarred agent offworld.

“Obi-Wan, promise… promise me you will train the boy. He is the Chosen One. He will bring balance. Train him…” Qui-Gon Jinn Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace

Defiant to the end, with his last breath the venerable Qui-Gon Jinn exacts a fateful promise from his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, to train a young slave boy named Anakin Skywalker to become a Jedi Knight.

During a mission to settle a simple trade dispute between the greedy Trade Federation and the peaceful world of Naboo, Qui-Gon and his apprentice became embroiled in a sinister plot, engineered by the mysterious Darth Sidious, Dark Lord of the Sith.

Escaping an ambush, the Jedi landed on the Outer Rim world of Tatooine, where Qui-Gon met a young slave boy, Anakin Skywalker. A practitioner of the Living Force, Qui-Gon sensed the boy to be the “Chosen One,” a Jedi who would bring unity and balance to the Force, and requested permission of the Jedi Council to train the boy. Fearing Anakin’s future to be clouded and uncertain, the Council refused.
