1+ hour, 37+ min ago (977+ words) These are the Jedi who shaped the Republic, challenged the darkness of the Sith, and were the ultimate symbol of what a Jedi should be. Qui-Gon Jinn was perhaps the most unorthodox Jedi Master known for his deep, almost spiritual connection to the living Force. Unlike many of his peers, he frequently ignored the strict rules of the Jedi Council in favor of following the Force's will. This willingness to break the Jedi Code was a trait that gave him deep insight, but often put him at odds with the High Council. His true power lay not just in his mastery of the defensive Form IV (Ataru) lightsaber style, but in his wisdom and eventual discovery of the secret to retaining consciousness after death. Qui-Gon was the first Jedi in modern history to become a true Force Ghost, a technique…...

Romance's threat level is the more localized than the others, making him the least dangerous in a large-scale conflict. His power is purely psychological, as he embodies the concept of (you guessed it) romance. He is designed to make his fans feel intense, one-sided devotion, trapping them in a fantasy that ultimately makes them vulnerable targets for Gwi-ma's larger agenda. While his power of weaponized love can certainly distract and weaken a human target through emotional overload, he lacks the raw combat ability or direct supernatural curses of his bandmates. He chums the waters for his fellow demons, making him easier to…...
