Qui-Gon is, without a doubt, the one character I would wish to meet and sit down with to talk about all sorts of things with in the SW galaxy. (within his timeline that is)

Qui-Gon was and still is my absolute favorite Jedi. He followed the force like one follows their beliefs or religion, he didn’t merely bend the force to his will like the rest of the Jedi. He let the force guide his actions and ultimately let the force decide his fate.

He failed to prevent this padawan from darkness, what makes you think he has what it takes to prevent Anakin? Anakin didn't turn because of poor teaching, if that's the case then Qui-Gon was to blame for not training Obi-Wan. No, Anakin turned to the darkside because he was manipulated by Palpatine and had Padmé placed in his entire life, and the visions of her death. Qui-Gon almost fell to the darkside too after falling in love with a Jedi who died, and Obi-Wan would've left the order for Satine. The two weren't really that different. Also I hear "father figure" too much, Jedi don't need father figures, they need mentors. Obi-Wan didn't have one, in fact he was placed with Qui-Gon because their renegade natures matched, but it forced Obi-Wan to start being the more reasonable of the two, so Qui-Gon wasn't his father figure, he definitely wouldn't be Anakins, he'd be his enabler which would move him into bad habits a whole lot sooner.

@@SteveCowlishaw solid points but Anakin also didn't have anyone to confide in, as obi wan always shut him out when his thoughts waivered and needed guidance most. All the failures of Qui Gon including almost falling to the dark side due to losing the one he loved only brings him closer to being able to relate to Anakin as he also lost his mom, was tempted by the dark side and feared losing padmae. Qui Gon navigated through and ultimately rose above it all. As for the father figure stand point, that is mainly because Anakin just didn't have a father to begin with so this would also allow him to become closer with Qui Gon. All of the qualities and life experiences that linked qui and obi are very similar to qui Gon and Anakin. Both Anakin and Jinn lost someone they loved, were tempted by the dark side, saw legitimate reasons to want to leave the order. There's so much common ground that when palpatine tempted Anakin, he would have felt comfortable enough to confide in qui Gon jinn his doubts and insecurities in turn letting his would be master in this scenario help him navigate through his inner conflictions

@@SteveCowlishaw George Luas himself said that Qui Gon would have been able to keep Anakin in the light. A father figure was part of the issue, while MOST Jedi don't need a father figure, Anakin isn't most Jedi. Where the Jedi adhered strictly to their code and shunned the Dark, going so far to as to suppress any teaching of it, Qui-Gon served the Force and had no issues teaching what the Force dictated. Qui Gon noticed the darkness in Anakin early, and would have been able to teach him how to manage and control it, unlike the Jedi who told him to suppress it and ignore its existence. Fear was always Anakins greatest enemy, and Qui Gon was really the only person who could have helped Anakin at that phase. MAYBE Mace Windu could have as well, but it's hard to say.

He became my favorite jedi just by the movie alone. Hes portrait beautifully.

This actually makes Qui-Gon seem more qualified to have been Anakin’s mentor. The fact he succeeded with training two apprentices and failing with one makes it seem he has enough experience handling Jedi of different temperaments he knows where he did right but also aware of his failures and mistakes so if he was going to train Anakin and knowing he made mistakes with Xanatos Qui-Gon would know what to do differently training Anakin. Sadly since this is the ‘non-canon Legends’ stuff it will no doubt be ignored and Qui-Gon Jinn will be touted as a glorified saint that can do no wrong all because it came from Filoni’s mouth. I respect the man for making Clone Wars as that was what got me into Star Wars as a whole but I find it hard to believe that people who bashed Qui-Gon for years suddenly say he would have saved Anakin all because Dave Filoni said it himself without any concrete proof in the story even in most iterations that detail Anakin’s life tv shows comics or any story involving his Jedi training doesn’t show that Anakin had any feelings about Qui-Gon after he was dead or at least enough to give the impression Qui-Gon was someone Anakin cared for. The closest was where in the non-canon Clone Wars series, the 2D series made in the early 2000s when Anakin angrily yells at Obi-Wan that despite his wisdom ‘he’s no Qui-Gon Jinn’ and while it may seem Anakin is being hurtful it shows that Qui-Gon was someone important to Anakin for him to make that statement and shows how even years later Anakin missed Qui-Gon.

To be honest Qui-gon ignoring the weaknesses of his own form in trying to use the environment against a younger and stronger foe than him is what costed him Just another example in why the prequels were written in such a way that they ensure the OG trilogy is canon regardless of whether or not the characters act in a way that doesn't feel like them, i.e. Anakin choosing to save Palpatine instead of going to Mandalore with Ahsoka to apprehend Maul, or Ahsoka not being able to sense the darkness festering wither her master and the like. Her leaving the temple I understand and even her not contacting Anakin since she probably didn't even know what she was fighting for or still looking for answers.

Qui Gon was pushed into taking a new apprentice. Obi-wan had not been chosen yet and was worried that he wouldn't be chosen by any master. Yoda pushed the two together, and it was wonderful.

so excited to see gui-gonj in tales of the Jedi

Tales of the Jedi will probably change how we see Qui-Gon as well

Qui-Gon is one of my favorites and this is a great back story, and you make a good case for it being his greatest failure, but I still think his biggest mistake was letting Anakin know that he was the chosen one. He should have told very few, maybe even just Obi-Wan and Yoda. Much is said about how fear, anger, and even attachment can all lead to the dark side, but it's seems clear that arrogance is almost always a major factor despite rarely being mentioned. Many people say Qui-Gon could have kept Anakin from falling to the dark side if he hadn't been killed by Maul, and maybe they're right. But knowing you're the 'chosen one' would simultaneously put massive pressure on you and make it nearly impossible to avoid having a massive ego. I think keeping that a secret, at least until he was mature enough to handle it better, would have instilled enough humility for Obi-Wan to have at least had a fighting chance at keeping him from the dark side. Of all the factors that combined to lead Anakin to becoming Vader, this is the only one Qui-Gon had complete control over, and he absolutely made the wrong call. (IMHO)

Qui Gon was a real jedi

You left out how Obi-wan didn’t become Jinn’s Padawan until the end of the adventure on Bandomeer.

They mention he fled from the fight to save Obi Wanand it was the only time, he did so. He also did on Tatooine Vs Maul, albeit to save the others cause he knew what Maul was right away, a Sith Lord

Greatest Failure was not being able to guide Anikin, even if it was as a force voice

Interesting that Quigon's greatest failure was remaking a microcosm of his own master in Dooku.

QuiGon should’ve been the one to train Anakin. Don’t get me wrong… Obi Wan was a good mentor to Anakin. And a good brother. But Anakin needed more of a father figure. And QuiGon was the perfect father figure.

There's no such thing as grays, dude. Jinn just actually followed the will of the force, unlike most Jedi who, being raised in a dogma, don't think too hard about why their order is such a political institution.

Love this. I think this would have made an incredible story film of some sort. Even computer animated version. One thing I'd like is a "What if scenario" where Anakin becomes a Dark Jedi, but never joins the Sith, but maybe early on chasing his passions.

This is the best story since Young Palpatine & Darth Krayt! 😳😳😳🔥💯🔥

Love all your work! Thank you for your craft!

I wonder if Palpatine was aware of these happenings.

Biggest failure was getting smacked in the lips by Mauls lightsaber hilt

I would say, it was the first few years of obi-wans training. It was almost like he choose the answer most likely to make obi wan question many many things and never even explaining parts of training he REALLY should have, like why the other padawnas were moving on to other forms and why he wanted obi-wan to focus on the more basic lightsaber style/maneuvers

His biggest mistake was that he chose to defy all that he believed in and his belief in The Force when he forced the dice to roll a winning roll to take Anakin away. My belief is by doing that, he contradicted his entire ethic of leaving everything to the desire of The Force and in doing so, it was then that The Force began to balance in favor of The Dark Side. If he had not forced the dice, he would still have won if the boy was truly the chosen one and The Force had wanted it. I think that is the beginning of Qui-Gon's demise. Even so, he is my favourite Jedi.

I feel bad for Xanatos because he didn't have to go through so much pain and trauma over what Qui Gon did to him. I just wished that he and Obi Wan would get along. Xanatos would've been the one to cloud Anakin's mind to the Dark side.

I like how the story of Zanatos (Xanatos?) mirrors Anakin's story. It also kind of tells us what would have happened if Qui-Gonn was on Mustafar instead of Obi-Wan.

Run through with a light saber. That’s what I would call his greatest failure.

The Notorious Negotiator Qui-Gon Jinn 🔥🔥

Me after watching this video, still seeing Qui Gon Jin with my eyes: "Maybe it doesn't work on donkeys"

I loved the books this was in when I was a kid.

I don't see any of it as a failure for Qui-gon - if his second apprentice chose the dark side, he chose the dark side. It's on him.

Xanatos was a great character. He was the inspiration for my username and gamertag.

Q: Was Qui-Gon Jinn responsible for Xanatos fall to the darkside. Or partially, for Anakin's? A: Not directly because both of them had high force potential they would have likely used it anyway without training. The Sith would have also, likely, found them and trained them to be the next in line of the Rule of Two. Qui-Gon Jinn tried to train Xanatos to be a Jedi but this apprentice craved more prestige and power. This could be a inherent character flaw or a case of absolute power corrupts absolutely. Probably, both. Qui-Gon is no more responsible for another’s actions than anyone would be. For the theory that if Qui-Gon didn't die, Anakin would have been trained to a point where he wouldn't do evil; the Xanatos apprenticeship shoots that theory down. Anakin tells Padme he craves power and prestige in the Prequels. It goes to his head that he is the Chosen one and he destroys everything he supposedly cared about to gain power, especially Padme. Anakin turns to the dark side and tells Obi-Wan, "I am not your failure... you didn't kill Anakin... I did." And it's that moment he chooses to be Vader. I personally think Anakin's slavery as a child, the way him and his mother were treated, the fact the Jedi didn't handle his situation well is the environmental push towards his descent to the dark side but he also might have been mentally ill and also suffering from various forms of untreated PTSD. In the end we all make choices that can create value, or destroy ourselves and harm the ones we love. We are responsible for our own fate so Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are guilty of thinking something was wrong with the way the mentored their respective padawans. The Jedi were guilty of being warriors instead of peacemakers and they made blundering decisions galore. They did not see the evil under their noses until it was too late. The Force seems to only want balance so too many of either dark or light users makes it re-balance itself. It works to constantly do this and neither side seems to get this...
