Qui Gon was a threat to be taken seriously. He had a very particular set of skills. Skills he had acquired over a very long career. Skills that made him a nightmare for people like Palpatine.

[cmurphy]

It's nice to know he was... Taken seriously.

[SargonDragon]

Qui Gon was the only pure, uncorrupted, and incorruptible Jedi. I always felt that out of everything that happened in episode 1, it was the death of Qui Gon which truly set events into motion that would ultimately lead to the downfall of the Jedi.

[someotherdude]

It’s worth mentioning also that in the Wrath of Darth Maul novel once he reports who the Jedi he ran into were on Tatooine Sidious immediately pushed to him “Disregard the Padawan and kill Qui-Gon at all costs” which alone shows how much of a threat he was

[delsere]

This is actually a really interesting idea. Qui Gon was so gounded with his emotions and selfless that none of the other jedi could ever question that his true intent was anything other than for the greater good, even if they didn't understand it at the time. If Anakin had grown up as Qui Gon's apprentice, its impossible to imagine that Anakins faith in Qui Gon could have ever been stirred by Palpatine as it was with Obi Won.

[malachiXX]

You forgot to mention that it was Qui Gon's perception and intuition, as a Jedi, that led him to become the first Force Ghost and return to offer his council to Yoda.

[jake]

he also feared Plo Koon, because he was the most gifted and inventive force user, and because his clones loved him so much he feared that Plo's clones would would actually resist order 66 so he made sure he had a different group of clones assigned to him when the order was given.

Qui Gon struck me in the films and stood out as a character A LOT. I immediately felt a sense of a figure kind of above it all.. he was clear minded and saw the world as it was not as the rest wanted him to see or believe. The dark side always tries to pray on and push weaknesses, Qui Gon was immune to weakness, fear, and could not be tempted, distracted. He was a steadfast, steadied character driven by good, light, morality, and things greater than himself. Qui Gon is the greatest Jedi that utilized the forces ability of sight. He is able to see all.

[clarechaddon]

I absolutely love Qui Gon. He has always been one of my favorites, despite being in only one movie. I was always really sad that he died, but now even more so knowing how differently things could have turned out if he had survived.

[ClockworkGearhead]

It's because Qui Gon had an opposing philosophy, but approached the Force in the same manner. He didn't just fear Gui Gon, he feared he was _right._

[tromedlovdrolmai]

So here's a 2 part question then:
1) How would Qui Gon have reacted to the clone army
2) What would Qui Gon have done if he had been the one Fives told his findings to?

[Troy]

In legends I think this is why Jacen Solo was so powerful. Like Qui gon he understood the force the way only a few ever have and would often converse with the force before making his decision.

[captainpanduh]

I expect nothing less from the man who mentored Batman.

[MassEffect]

If he was alive a little longer, Qui Gon would've been the first Jedi to truly sense Palpatine and his machinations. He followed the will of the Force and not the Jedi dogma. This made him far more attuned to the Force than anyone else on the Council. Not the most skilled or "most powerful" but he was the most in touch with the Force itself at the cost of everything else...

[Cloud-dtxb]

I've always loved Qui-gon Jin he was such a fun charachter in episode 1, the fact that he so readily did his own thing against the stiff rules of the jedi order just felt good. He would've been perfectly compatible with Anakin absolutely.

[eliasfett]

Beautifully told. Qui-Gon is one of my favorite characters. I've always felt him, and his role or purpose have been greatly undervalued. Such an impactful character with an amazing story. Thanks for this video Stupendous Wave, you did Qui-Gon justice.

[DarkMatterZero]

That is why its called Duel of Fates. Qui Gon is the lynch pin that could have saved the Galaxy from the Rise of the Empire.

[colinleat]

Quigon Jin is one of the best Jedi ever! Liam Neeson did such a spectacular job in his performance. It always guts me (pun intended) watching his death scene. 🖖😁🤘🇨🇦

[GamerstudPrime]

I’ve said it before, the most consequential event in Episode I was Qui-gons death, not the discovery of the chosen one. Anakin needed a father, not a brother. The Jedi council was so focused on the big picture that they were blinded to what was happening right around them.

[triple]

Anakin would not have turned if Qui Gon lived to train him.
