The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

"The hyperdrive generator's gone, master. We'll need a new one."
"That'll complicate things."

―Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn^[src]

During the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY, this mission took place over three days on the planet Tatooine.

PreludeEdit

The Queen escaped the blockade, but the T-14 hyperdrive generator was damaged.

The hunt beginsEdit

"This is my apprentice, Darth Maul. He will find your lost ship."

―Darth Sidious to Nute Gunray^[src]

Darth Sidious sent his apprentice, Darth Maul after the escaped Queen. The trace took him to Tatooine after both Queen Amidala sending a brief transmission to Senator Palpatine (Darth Sidious's public persona), and due to a brief transmission from Naboo Minister Sio Bibble.

The missionEdit

Meeting with Skywalker (Day one)Edit

The Royal Starship landed near Mos Espa. Qui-Gon Jinn, Jar Jar Binks, Padmé Amidala, and R2-D2 went into town to search for a new hypderdrive. They entered Watto's junkshop, but Watto did not accept Republic credits. While Jinn bartered, Amidala met the young slave boy Anakin Skywalker. After they left, a sandstorm blew in. Skywalker met with the group and offered to take them to his own home for shelter. There, they met his mother, Shmi Skywalker.

Trading for parts and helping the localsEdit

This section of the article assumes 100% game completion. Alternate stories are noted in the "Behind the scenes" section. Note: The events in this section may or may not be canon.

Jinn traded with the locals for parts to repair Skywalker's podracer.

Assumption ends here.

Repairing the podracer (Day two)Edit

The next day, Jinn returned to Watto's shop to barter for the chance to let Skywalker race in the Boonta Eve Classic podrace. They spent the rest of the day repairing the pod.

The Boonta Eve (Day three)Edit

Skywalker won the Boonta Eve Classic podrace. Jinn was able to secure his release from Watto, and Skywalker agreed to become a Jedi. On their way back to the Royal Starship, Qui-Gon found one of Darth Maul's DRK-1 Dark Eye probe droids tailing him and Anakin, causing him to strike it down. Qui-Gon, deducing from its unfamiliar presence that they were being spied on, then had Anakin rush to the ship. Upon barely making it back to the ship, they were attacked by Darth Maul. They were able to escape.

Rescuing a QueenEdit

"I have defeated your war Chief. Allow me to return to my ship safely with the Queen."

―Kenobi to other Tusken Raiders.^[src]

One night, a tribe of Tusken Raiders infiltrated the Royal Starship. Panaka asked Kenobi to rescue her, so Kenobi infiltrated the camp and fought his way through. He discovered the burial grounds and went to the chambers of the Tusken War Chief. The Jedi defeated the War Chief and left with the Queen.

AftermathEdit

The Queen and her entourage repaired the hypderdrive and travelled to Coruscant.

Behind the scenesEdit

"This place is horrible! A vicious murderer has been killing innocent people all over town!"

―Padmé Amidala, to Qui-Gon Jinn, not realizing that Jinn actually is the murderer^[src]

In the Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace video game, Qui-Gon can alternatively massacre much of the population of Mos Espa, with merchants and Anakin refusing to help him as a result. However, due to an in-game bug, the quest can still be completed if Qui-Gon massacres the civilians and merchants in the later part of the Mos Espa level.
