star wars - Where are Obi-Wan Kenobi's and Qui-gon Jinn's Lightsabers?


In Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, when Darth Maul kills Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi starts a saber duel with Darth Maul, and Darth Maul uses Force Push on Obi-Wan Kenobi. Obi-Wan hangs on that deep and dark big pipe. Then, Darth Maul kicks Kenobi's lightsaber into that hole. After that, Obi-Wan uses Qui-Gon Jinn's lightsaber to defeat Darth maul.

My questions are



  1. Where Is Obi-Wan's Lightsaber? Does he build a new one or retrieve it from somewhere like from bottom of that big pipe or etc.?

  2. What about Qui-Gon Jinn's lightsaber? Where it is ?



Answer



The answer I've provided is based on Wookieepedia articles (linked in text) and my recollection of the G-canon material.


1.


This wiki article states that Obi-wan constructs a new Lightsaber after his first one is kicked down the melting pit (the big pipe you mention), which suggests that he does not recover his original lightsaber.



As such, my answer to this is that he built a new one and that the first one is left at the bottom of the pit.


2.


As for Qui-gon Jinn's lightsaber, it was used briefly by Obi-Wan Kenobi following the events of The Phantom Menace, but only until he had time and opportunity to construct a new one. After that, its fate is unknown.


Note: There has been some speculation that Kenobi brought Qui-Gon Jinn's lightsaber with him to Tatooine, where it remained until Luke Skywalker came back to construct his second lightsaber, following the events of Empire Strikes Back. This article, however, disputes this.

harry potter - Did Dolores Umbridge Have Any Association with Voldemort (or Death Eaters) before His Return?

I noticed that Dolores Umbridge was born during the first Wizarding War, so it's very likely she wasn't a Death Eater then (but she is pretty evil -- who knows?). After that Voldemort was not around in a way that could affect many people, and most wouldn't know he was planning to rise again. During that time, and up through Voldemort's return (in Goblet of Fire ), did Umbridge have any connection with the Death Eaters or with Voldemort? Was she doing what she did on her own, or was it because of an association with Voldemort or his allies? Answer Dolores Umbridge was definitely not a good person. However, as Sirius points out, "the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters". Remember that he also says that he doesn't believe Umbridge to be a Death Eater, but that she's evil enough (or something like that). I think there are two strong reasons to believe that: Umbridge was proud to do everything according to the law, except when she trie...

What is the etymology of Doctor Who?

I recently decided to watch Doctor Who, and started viewing the 2005 version. I have the first two episodes from the first season, and I can't help but wonder what is the etymology of the name "Doctor Who"? And why does the protagonist call himself "the Doctor" (or is it "the doctor")? Answer In the very first episode of Doctor Who (way back in 1963), the Doctor has a granddaughter going by the name "Susan Foreman", and the junkyard where the TARDIS is has the sign "I.M. Foreman". Barbara, who becomes one of the Doctor's companions, calls him "Doctor Foreman" (probably assuming that is his name given his relationship to Susan), and Ian (another early companion) does the same in the second episode, to which the Doctor says: Eh? Doctor who? What's he talking about? "Foreman" is most likely selected as a convenient surname for Susan to use because it happened to be on display near where the TARDIS landed....

story identification - Animation: floating island, flying pests

At least 20 years ago I watched a short animated film which stuck in my mind. The whole thing was wordless, possibly European, and I'm pretty sure I didn't imagine it... It featured a flying island which was inhabited by some creatures who (in my memory) reminded me of the Moomins. The island was frequently bothered by large winged animals who swooped around, although I don't think they did any actual damage. At the end one of the moomin creatures suddenly gets a weird feeling, feels forced to climb to the top of the island and then plunges down a shaft right through the centre - only to emerge at the bottom as one of the flyers. Answer Skywhales from 1983. The story begins with a man warning the tribe of approaching skywhales. The drummers then warn everybody of the hunt as everyone get prepared to set "sail". Except one man is found in his home sleeping as the noise wake him up. He then gets ready and is about to take his weapon as he hesitates then decides ...
