{{Main article|Star Wars prequel trilogy}}
Qui-Gon is introduced in the first film of the [[prequel trilogy]], ''[[Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace|The Phantom Menace]]'' (1999). He is portrayed by Liam Neeson. Qui-Gon and his Jedi apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi are sent to [[Naboo]] to resolve a conflict involving the Trade Federation, a business conglomerate that has blockaded the planet for political leverage. When the two Jedi arrive, the Federation attempts to assassinate them. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan retreat to Naboo, rescue its besieged queen, Padmé Amidala, then leave for [[Coruscant]], the galactic capital. During the journey, they land on [[Tatooine]] to repair their ship. Qui-Gon encounters a nine-year-old slave boy named Anakin Skywalker, whose potential with the Force is the highest ever detected. The Jedi Master becomes intrigued when Anakin's mother tells him that the boy had no father. Believing that Anakin could be the "Chosen One" of Jedi prophecy destined to bring balance to the Force, Qui-Gon secures the boy's freedom and decides to bring him before the Jedi Council on Coruscant. Before leaving Tatooine, Qui-Gon duels with a mysterious warrior dressed in black.

On Coruscant, Qui-Gon asks the Council to allow Anakin to be trained as a Jedi. Master Yoda senses fear in the boy, and the Council denies the request. Undaunted, Qui-Gon vows that he will train Anakin himself. Padmé, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan return to Naboo, where they once again encounter the dark warrior, who reveals himself to be the Sith Lord Darth Maul. During a ferocious lightsaber battle, Maul fatally wounds Qui-Gon. After defeating Maul, Obi-Wan promises to train Anakin for Qui-Gon before he dies.  

In the second film, ''[[Attack of the Clones]]'' (2002), Neeson provides the voice of Qui-Gon. When Anakin is slaughtering the [[Tusken Raiders]] on Tatooine, the Jedi Master's voice can be heard. Near the end of the third film, ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]'' (2005), Yoda reveals to Obi-Wan that he has been communicating with the spirit of Qui-Gon.
