His greatest failure was not being the one to train Anakin and see him through his trials of darkness which would have been a close attonement to failing his former apprentice

[tannergutierrez]

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.

[korkronwarlord]

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)

[napdragon]

Qui-Gon Jinn was always my favourite Jedi he’s very underrated because he only appears in the Phantom Menace, however if you’ve read the Extended Universe books and graphic novels with him in it you will appreciate him more.

[nightwingman]

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.

Technically Obi-Wan wasn't his last apprentice because he trains Yoda and Ben to become force ghosts.

[steelvalleysportsmen]

His greatest failure was losing the dual with maul. I feel that one is rather obvious.

[smilingsaiyan]

Would be so cool to see a live action or cgi series based on this story line

[davidgrove]

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.

[YoungSlim]

The books containing Xanatos not only changed the way I saw Qui Gon but Obi Wan as well. It was such an interesting series in general and I have fond memories of reading it in my childhood!

[goat]

As with any teacher / student relationship (or parent / child, for that matter), there comes a point where the student is responsible for their own successes and failures. That said, every parent of someone who grew up to be a monster can't help but feel shame and blame themselves. no matter what point the child turns from the path the parent tried to put them on.

[marshalllatta]

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

[themis]

Qui-gon never failed anyone. The force desires balance. It therefore creates as well as destroys. By the simple thought of success one also creates failure. But this isn't under any beings control, it's simply the will of the force seeking balance.

[macwelch]

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

[faiyoake]

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

[darthconquest]

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

[jswmmy]

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

[BillCoale]

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)

[chrisphillips]

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

[alexbanks]

His greatest failure was losing to Maul and not getting to train Anikin.
