Star Wars

I finished listing English words of STAR WARS Episode 1. I guess I listed about 150 terms. There were 3 difficult expressions. Fewer words more than I expected. Could you help me?



"But not at the expense of the moment."



Its context is ,,,,



Obi-wan : I have a bad feeling about this.

Qui-Gon Jinn : I don't sense anything.

Obi-wan : It is not about the mission, Master.

It's something...elsewhere,, elusive.

Qui-Gon Jinn : Don't center on your anxieties, Obi-wan.

Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs.

Obi-wan : But Master Yoda said I should be mindful of the future.

Qui-Gon Jinn : But not at the expense of the moment.

: Be mindful of the living Force, young Padawan.



I assumed Qui-Gon Jinn meant "It is not what you should now be doing.". Am I right?



For that matter, it seems it is said the name "Qui-Gon Jinn" is Kaigan-jin(Japanese word). Kaigan means "eye-opining(Realize, get the enlightenment, etc)". "Jin" means "person", "people". Anakin? If his name was "Tamakin", it means "Golden balls" in Japanese, that is, it means "testis". When I was a kid, we used to said "I'm Tamakin Skywalker!" as a joke when we played. I'm deeply sorry for writing such a thing, I will never fail to write such a thing again. I promise. :-D



"What has that got to do with anything?"



There are too many pronouns. It is very confusing. I can sensuously understand what Anakin Skywalker meant, but I couldn't understand exactly.



"Jam the doors."



A commander said "Jam the doors.". Soldiers pushed buttons, then doors were closed. According to Oxford's dictionary,

verb(-mm-) PUSH WITH FORCE1[vn + adv. / prep.] to push sth somewhere with a lot of force:

He jammed his fingers in his ears. A stool had been jammed against the door.



With lot of force? Soldiers just pushed buttons. I should not dwell on it?



If it's okay with you, please advice me.



I found an interesting expression.



"If we can't get the shield generator fixed, we'll be sitting ducks."



"Sitting ducks" (also sitting 'target) nouna person or thing that is easy to attack, according to Oxford one. If I don't understand what the expression means, I may become a sitting duck someday. STAR WARS lengthened my life-span.



Anyway, STAR WARS is one of masterpieces in the world, indeed.



Some years ago, a TV programs broad casted a movie people got lined up to see Star Wars episode one in the premiere of it in Shinjyuku. I found a young guy on TV. I thought I've seen him somewhere. I noticed he was not my friend but It was me.



Well, I feel unuseal amount of drowsiness.



Have a nice day.
