Kevin Costner as Qui-Gon Jinn???

One of my biggest reservations with Phantom Menace is this; Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor are too much alike character wise... They're both very "by the book". I think Qui-Gon Jinn's character would have been much stronger if he was more of a cowboy, his ways often questioned by his "by the book apprentice" Obi-Wan. I think that would have created a stronger dynamic between the two Jedi. If Kevin Costner played Qui-Gon Jinn as more of a cowboy, it could have created that dynamic. When Qui-Gon Jinn eventually dies fighting Darth Maul, it's very forgettable. It's too easy on the viewer's emotions. If Qui-Gon Jinn died courageously fighting Darth Maul as "the last of the cowboys" it would have cemented his character better as a "Jedi Legend".
