This happens to be your buddy.
You grab Qui-Gon and, despite the "Hey, what are you doin's"
on Qui-Gon's part, toss him at Darth Maul.
Darth Maul's lightsaber, of course, kills Qui-Gon, but the impact
Qui-Gon made on Darth Maul sent him hard against a solid metal wall,
killing him.
Just then a bunch of officers came in the room, and, instead of
congratulating you on your "oringinal" weapon, they open
fire. How are you going to get out of this
one?
"Oh no! A Sith lord!" you exclaim. You don't have your
lightsaber and the blaster is to risky at such short range, so you
look for the closest other weapon available.
