Who is the Phantom Menace, anyway? by EinAffe (K+)
Fandom: STAR WARS
Pairing: Canon pairings, despite some Obidala stirrings, so back off, Padmé!
Length: 151745 words
Author on LJ: I don't think she has one.
Author Website: FFN Profile
Why this must be read:
"Do you really think it was a wise decision to let Obi-Wan train the Skywalker boy?" Mace voiced his doubts. "He turned out well enough despite Qui-Gon's training, but don't you think we should give him a break? I mean, we made him take care of what I like to call the Jinn problem for many years longer than was justified. We never told him that he'd been knighted years ago just so that the Council wouldn't have to deal with Qui-Gon's quirks. And now, you push him to take care of the next problem Jedi right when the first one is gone?"
This rare bit of compassion from the Jedi Council alone makes reading this story worthwhile. Where else would Mace express his tender, thoughtful side except in parody? And this is a doozy, updated faithfully for over one year and taking word 'insertions' along the way, casting a humorous eye on The Phantom Menace's plot from start to finish. Read this and discover Queen Amidala's unhealthy attachment to her wardrobe and the reason why Qui-Gon never says "Goodbye" when he uses his commlink. Obi-Wan always wondered about that.
