The problem is that Qui-Gon is an awesome character... in the EU. For whatever reason I've held onto those Jedi Apprentice books, and some of them still hold up pretty well. However, it shouldn't be left to the EU for a character to be explained, let alone be likable.
Jedi Apprentice was the best thing to come out of the Prequels-hands down!! Even though they were "for children" they still hold up really well. You actually get a sense of the stubborn character of Qui-Gon (not to mention actually liking the now three dimensional character) along with the foundations of Obi-Wan's character.
