What's the big deal with Qui-Gon Jinn in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace?
Fans really admire Qui-Gon Jinn for his wise and calm demeanor, a true Jedi trait that Liam Neeson portrayed perfectly. However, it seems his character hasn't quite captured the fandom's vote as strongly as Ra's al Ghul, possibly due to the polarizing reception of the film itself.
Why is Ra's al Ghul in Batman Begins absolutely crushing Qui-Gon Jinn in this fan vote?
Ra's al Ghul is leading by a mile, probably because of the unforgettable intensity Liam Neeson brought to the role. That character's complex morality and pivotal influence in a much-loved Batman reboot may be resonating more with fans compared to his role as Qui-Gon Jinn.
