I can completely see it. Honestly, it's probably less of a crack ship than just about anything else in the prequels if you're judging purely by what's on the screen instead of what GL had in his mind and was unable to put on the screen. They have a fairly clear, well-portrayed interaction with each other. They're both suspicious of each other but also have some respect for each other. There's more that you can do with that than you can do with, for instance, Padme/Anakin (main attributes as portrayed on screen: lust, irritation, mindless slaughter, petty whining), or Anakin/Obi-Wan (main attributes as portrayed: irritation, frustration, petty whining), or even Obi-Wan/Qui-Gon (main attributes as portrayed: respect, irritation, petty whining).

So in other words, it's a perfectly valid prequel ship in the same way that Revenge of the Sith was the best of the prequel movies - it had a few moments of legitimately interesting well-acted and well set up emotional interaction between characters.

>Obi-Wan&Qui-Gon

THERE'S ALSO THE DEATH SCENE

IDK, man. I want them to make sense but I also think I'm horribly biased because I've friendshipped them since forever. Is their dynamic really that bad? *sighs* I fear I cannot see the flaws from behind my plot- and chemistry-improving goggles.

I'm probably being harsh there, I think they're definitely better than any ship involving Anakin (probably because... well... they don't involve Anakin) but I also think there's a lot of stuff that just doesn't really make sense in their relationship as portrayed and I think you do have to look past the writing at times and be a little selective. Much less than in the other ships though.

Aw, that's a relief. I hate ignoring canon material. Out of interest, what would you consider the most nonsensical thing about the depiction of their relationship?

Somebody needs to write fic for this then!
