Happy New Year, fellow Herders! A new comic has us ruminating about the true nature of the Force and who got it right all along. You know we're softies for the the prequels, and here's more evidence as to why: Qui-Gon Jinn is the smartest Jedi we've ever seen! The "age of Republic" comic sheds new light on his interpretation of the Force and the role of the Jedi in service to it. As it turns out, the Jedi of the prequel era were kind of, well... turds. Stupid Jedi: should've listened to Qui-Gon. Thankfully, you can listen to us! Here's to 2019, everyone!
