Which still makes almost no sense. Qui-Gon is going to stop Anakin from falling in love with padme or fearing for her or his mother's death? Not that it matters.

@@Bo_OnXbox that is assuming a lot of things. And he can't allow them to get married. He isn't in control of their lives nor speaks for the Jedi Order. Maybe you mean he would have known of their marriage and been a confidant? That relies on Qui-Gon being clever enough to figure it out or Anakin with all his hypocrisies and lack of trust (helped by palpatine growing it--which Anakin would have still had a relationship with Palpatine) to tell him. Qui-Gon was a rogue but he still ultimately believed in the Jedi Order and followed their rules. Not sure he would have been completely welcoming of the marriage or at the least of hiding it from the Jedi. It ultimately comes down to the same thing that happened without him. A battle between Palpatine and Anakin's Jedi mentor over Anakin's soul/humanity and Palpatine had the advantage of shipping Jedi off wherever and engineering ways to put them in situations to kill them. Palpatine could have continually had Jinn on some far-flung world away from overseeing Anakin during the war and then attempting ad nauseum to get him killed. Jinn was already starting to show his age in TPM, even if he got into shape there is no guarantee during a war he'd survive. My money would still be on Palpatine to win Anakin over and eradicate the Jedi including Qui-Gon. Perhaps even Kenobi who wouldn't have beaten Anakin due to Skywalkers volatile emotions compromising his duel with Obi-Wan. It would have left solely Yoda. If Anakin wasn't swayed because of Qui-Gon...well that pesky order 66 would have killed him or exiled him for eternity. I will say Qui-Gon surviving puts in to question dooku being corrupted and the whole sifo-dyas saga. Maybe THAT is enough, combined with Jinn MAYBE saving Anakin to avoid this whole thing.

Actually, that has zero basis. He was on the trail of these two to begin with, and Anakin wasn't a full on factor by this point.

Then you wouldn't need to rely on Palpatine in the 3rd, Kylo could have been the established threat, not needing 'redemption'.

And instead of the father figure he needed, he had to instead settle for more of a brother figure who couldn't quite reach to him as well. The reason the song for this battle is called Duel of the Fates, is due not just to Qui and Obi dueling for their own fate, but they are fighting for the future fate of Ani as well. Everything going wrong starts here.

He did absolutely. The oldest and wisest of the Jedi, learned how to bring balance to the Force. Even the Nightsisters knew how to use the dark side without it corrupting them, for that matter. Obi-wan just had the resolve not to let it corrupt him here. Mace Windu's light saber style, Vaapad, actually uses the darkside to work properly (none of this is in these movies of course, so not really spoilers, all books and stuff), he was able to use the aggression of a Sith in his fighting style, and even feed off of his opponents dark force power. Making him an even match for whoever he was fighting (Now you do want to remember that tid bit for the third movie). Plo Koon could use Force lightning too. I think he called it electric judgement or something, and there was a big controversy with the Jedi council about it, and they proved he could do it without feeling rage, but still didnt like him to do it. Well I nerded out way harder than i thought i would there. Jeez.

shadowstalker1120 I thought it was more to do that Maul sensed both was too great a challenge even for him, so he used every chance he could to separate the master and apprentice. He probably kicked away Obi-Wan because as the apprentice, it is assumed that he isn’t as strong as his master, and is therefor easier to beat, so Maul could go all out and kill the stronger and more experienced master first, making the fight with Obi-Wan a pushover. At the same time, killing the master is a good way to enrage the apprentice and make them easier to fight and trick since they’re ‘clouded with rage’, as all Jedi strive to resist. Just a thought, but the fight can be read several ways

Qui gon was likely using all his force to hold out. If obi wan had killed maul faster qui gon would have likely survived his wound.

The prequels had their moments, but George Lucas massively dropped the ball in terms of pacing, dialogue, direction, acting, etc. The CGI used in the Prequels has not aged well. The chancellor's office, the Jedi temple, etc has not aged well. Neither have the battle droids or the randomly introduced General Griveous. The chancellor's office in particular, with the bright red color scheme with limited shadowing is particularly cartoonish. TPM has probably aged best, since they relied on mostly practical effects, limiting CGI for non-set related SFX. Attack of the Clones looks like hot garbage. Like they said in Jurassic Park, "Just because you could doesn't mean you should". Bottom line is Lucas needed a producer with oversight over him who could chime in when he went overboard, like Marcia Lucas (his oscar winning ex-wife) did on the OT. The same would be true for Jar Jar Abrams and his crack staff of screenplay morons who only know how to include nostalgic moments and mystery box mcguffins with trash resolution when it eventually comes around to finishing things up.

What really aided in Qui-Gon's death was Obi-Wan's fear. Fear of losing his master. He was too well bonded and connected with his padawan not to sense his padawan's growing fear, which threw him off balance. That's when Maul saw the opening and took it.

One little detail in this fight is how darth maul spends most of the fight focusing on the master (qui gon) and dismissing the Padawan (obi wan) till the end. Which is unfortunate for him cause in obi wan’s later years he’s often considered one of the best lightsaber duellists in the Star Wars universe.

In the novelization, it is stated that Qui Gon Jinn is among the greatest swordsmen in the Jedi order. He was trained by Dooku, being the finest of his time before leaving the order, who was in turn trained by Yoda. It is also worth mentioning that the relationship between master and apprentice is akin to parent and child as the master is the most prominent adult in a padawan learner's life. This remains the nature of their relationship until the padawan graduates to knighthood at which time the relationship dynamic switches to more of a fraternal or sibling level comradeship. In the novels, it is also revealed that Obi-wan nearly washed out of the order until, when he was almost ready to age out of the program and be relegated to the force using agri-core, Yoda forces Qui-Gon to take on a new apprentice. During the novelization, Qui-gon muses to himself that Obi-wan is on the path to become an even better swordsman than he. During the dual, he becomes aware that he cannot defeat this Sith alone and that he is just trying to survive long enough to wear him down so Obi-Wan can hopefully finish him. This is why he meditates while they are separated by the red energy field. To gather his strength and buy himself some time. When Obi-wan watches his master, his father figure and his best friend die he momentarily flies into a rage, teetering on the brink of the dark side. The power flows through him and he momentarily overwhelms Maul, but because he is out of control, Maul gains the upper hand again forcing him in close to a "lockup" so he can surprise him with another powerful force push. It is when Obi-wan, while dangling above the pit, calms himself and becomes attuned to his surroundings, he feels Qui-Gon's saber and draws it to him while using the force to hurl himself back up to the ledge above. The real question I like to ponder, is if Qui-gon had not died and become Anakin's master, would Anakin still have fallen to the dark side? I speculate no. Qui-gon was more aware of everyone's emotional states and had a less rigid interpretation of the jedi way. I feel like Anakin may not have chafed as much, in Qui-gon's more fluid style. He also butted heads with the council and might have helped Anakin navigate his emotional turmoil better.

Qui-Gon was an adherent of the Living Force, which studies life energy, as opposed to the Cosmic Force, which is more omnipresent energy. The Council refused to give him a seat among them because followers of the Living Force hold emotional attachments, which the Council outlawed through the Jedi Creed (in the EU, Luke fundamentally opposed the idea of cutting off emotional ties, as noted in The Jedi Path).

People say it was against the Jedi code and morals to lash out the way Obi-wan did. But think of it this way, his own friend and mentor just got murdered by this guy, and he's next one up. Then he gets backed into a corner, looses his weapon, and weighs his options. It comes to a point where he just says to himself "I'm all for the code and anger is evil, but this shits gotta end" and cleaves him in half

No, Qui-Gon was in his 60's i believe, unable to use his lightsaber form Ataru to its maximum, and being in a confined space didn't help his form either. between these and the fact that Qui-Gon was tired. Maul had the upper hand. and when that second of opportunity arrived he capitalized on it. Obi-Wan was a Practicioner of Form IV Ataru as well there, and was younger and able to maximize the form better. To be more aggressive. However, after this fight he saw that it had great offensive capability, but it lacked in defense. So he took up Form 3 Soresu, and later during RotS, or Episode 3 was known as the greatest master of Form 3 to ever exist. Form 3 works off of most effective and efficient defensive movements possible. Letting is user become a bastion of defense while expending lil to no energy in doing so. Through this they let their opponents tire themselves out and then capitalize on fatigue driven mistakes. This is why Obi-Wan was chosen to face General Grievous, and his knowledge of Anakin ontop of his mastery of Soresu is why Yoda sent Obi-Wan to face down Darth Vader.
