There’s a line early in The Phantom Menace that often gets overlooked but actually says a lot about Qui-Gon Jinn’s character and his ability to see through political manipulation.

Since 1977, we have been captivated by Vader and his imposing armor. We know about how his suit served to keep him alive and under Palpatine’s control, but perhaps not as much as about its protective features.
