This is great, Jane! I was sure it would be something serious and life-threatening, then it turned out it was a question of vanity! How wonderful!

I still haven't quit laughing. I honestly thought it was going to be something like refusing a mission on moral grounds -- but his hair? Keep writing stories like this, Jane Jinn! They're great!

I, too, was waiting for the denouement to be something weighty and introspective. What a delight to find -- humor! There's never enough of that in the GFFA, methinks. It's always a pleasure to read this writer's work.

Oh Jane, that was so enjoyable! When I came
upon the end so abruptly, I kind of blinked for
a moment and then it clicked what Qui-Gon has said.
So I went back and re-read it, and got the line about
the thorns. :)
That was wonderful. I haven't much time for reading
(or writing) anymore, but I'm glad to have had a moment
to stumble onto I Refuse. :)

Thank you! So glad to see a fellow maverick go up against the knit-pickers of society. I've been in similar situations (where my grooming has become a matter of some "tisk-tisking" among my superiors) and I felt such an uplift from this victory than would have from a thousand destroyed Death Stars! "I Refuse!" Thank you Qui-Gon! Thank you Jane Jinn!

I noticed something noone else seems to have noticed. Your use of the word 'absolom'. In the Bible, Absolom was a prince who got caught on a thorny branch by his long hair.
Nice parallel. I liked the story too. It wasn't laugh out loud, but it brought a smile to my face.
I don't know if the parallel was intentional, but Star Wars is full of parallels.
Great idea, great writing, great scene.

Cute! You had me going until the "If the Force really wants me to cut my hair, the Force will arrange for me to get caught by it in one of those thorny thickets on Obsolom and make me shear it off with my own light saber. But until then, I refuse!"

I caught on at the first mention of "Obsolom" (Absolom, cute!), but I still read and thoroughly enjoyed it. And after reading a heart rending Angst (Fallen Angel), it was perfect to keep me from getting depressed!

Top marks for Jane Jinn! Qui-Gon is my favorite character, and his view of the Council as an advisory body rather than a rigid command structure (which IS the correct interpretation of the Jedi Code) is one of the main reasons for that.
I'm writing a set of fictions about an order similar to the Jedi, and the focal character has a lot of Qui-Gon's qualities; one of his biggest challenges will be to keep the "Advisors" from becoming as the Old-Republic Council was. While those stories will be more serious than this, your dialog reinforced my own ideas, and the punch line definitely made my day.

Brilliant! That was absolutely hilarious. I love Qui Gon, and that's so funny. I love his hair though, by the way, so I have to disagree with the Council also. I love your sense of humor, and very sneakily written.
