I love the gag that no one can understand a word Qui-Gon says (kind of like UndeadHumor and Gambit), and then out of nowhere he speaks perfectly clearly. And then Obi Wan just lies about what he said. And somehow everyone believes him.

I think that portion where he was clearly speaking was from Qui-Gon's own perspective

[@ericv00]

UH... dude, Obi-Wan very clearly translated everything Qui-Gon said. Don't know what you are on about with Qui-Gon only being understandable once. Maybe you've never encountered Welsh before... But yeah, Qui-Gon was more than harsh in everything he said. I'm just glad KZbin hasn't censored it yet.

As a Northern Irish man, I appreciate that you gave Liam his proper Ulster accent, instead of the generic southern accent.

[@sheakennedy-ordway1156]

Shots fired. I'll let you know if you're American or another nationality without Gaelic influences, but this creature has opened Pandora's box. There are 3 Irish dialects used today and everyone will become quite irate if you don't use theirs, even though the differences are really nebulous. It's extra salty because Ulster is the region most influenced by the king's English, implying Munster and Connacht sound 'generic' is laughable. The real joke here is they mashed it together akin to King of the Hill's Boomhauer.

[@lizs4924]

*some time later* Obi-wan, aged and tired, is trotting through the tatooine desert on a space camel, when he sees something in the distance. A faint outline at first, then ripples, and then suddenly the ripples take the shape of a man. Obi-wan does not believe his own eyes as they look upon his dear old master, his spirit burning brilliantly in the power of the force. Obi-wan, having not even felt his old friends presence for decades musters up the courage to say the only thing he can: M-master Qui Gonn? The force ghost turns around slowly, looks his old padawan up and down and considers his next words carefully. Qui gonn: Mmmfffhhmmrempherderanderthefremerzlerya.

[@andrewclastic2835]

I'm not sure if it's canon, but I remember reading a book on the origins of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon's relationship. Basically, although Obi-Wan was selected for Jedi training at an early age (as per usual), he was exceptionally old before being selected as an apprentice. Obi-Wan is basically about to age out of the youngling training and, therefore, is about to be thrown out of the jedi order (as he has no master to continue his training). If I recall the story correctly, Qui-Gon refuses to take Obi-Wan as an apprentice but they go on a misadventure together which causes the Qui-Gon to finally accept Obi-Wan as his apprentice. Why do I ramble so? Because I like to think this is the backdrop for this video. It's years later and Obi-Wan is still holding a grudge. His master's thickening accent allows him a few... liberties. Incidentally, in my headcanon Qui-Gon was not only late to the balognese incident, but he did not berate Yoda, or tell the jedi council about it. Hence spurring on the events in the video.

[@Satori91387]

I read those books as a kid. It's been ages, but iirc that is correct (tho that's ofc now 'legends' continuity but whatever)
