What if Qui-Gon Was in Revenge of the Sith? - Star Wars Theory

Thank you for 5 years of Star Wars Theory. Today, let's dive into a fan-fiction from Revenge of the Sith that I think would have changed the fate of Anakin's future, and the events of the galaxy as a whole.
If Qui-Gon Jinn had showed up to Anakin to speak with him during his more pivotal and dire moment, I believe so many things could have been changed.
Anakin would see that Jedi can live on beyond the living form. Anakin wouldn't rush to help Palpatine as he fought Mace Windu. He would learn all he could from his true Jedi Master.
Palpatine would eventually be arrested and Luke and Leia would be born.
Anakin would train Leia, and Yoda would train Luke, while the marriage and relationship of Anakin and Padme would be kept a secret for as long as they could. The children of Skywalker would just be strong force sensitives to the knowledge of the council, while many would suspect the truth, they would turn a blind eye until they were sure.
Maul would surface from the far reaches of space, bringing an army with Crimson Dawn to the Jedi and wreaking havoc across the galaxy.

If Qui-Gon survived, Anakin simply wouldn’t have turned to the dark side. The only way Palpatine was able to corrupt him was by being fulfilling the role of a father figure, which Qui-Gon would have fulfilled had he not perished at the hands of Darth Maul. Anakin also wouldn’t have become so frustrated with the Jedi, as Qui-Gon would have taught him a less narrow, less dogmatic view of the Force.

Imagine a Star Wars “What if?” series on Disney+

This type of story could be a series in itself.

Finally someone mentioned that it was indeed lack of sleep that was causing Anakin’s judgement to be clouded. This fact certainly worked in Palpatine’s favor, as it made it even easier to manipulate Anakin. In the normal timeline of course.

"I'll surely make both videos if you wish" *me after watching all the fan fictions on this channel.. Sceptical..* haha

Qui Gon: Stay in that cockpit
Anakin: Insert Leonardo Dicaprio laughing while drinking meme

[obi-wan-kenobi]

Obi-Wan: "It's over Anakin! I have the high ground!"
Anakin: "Ok."
Obi-Wan: "You were right about one thing Master. The negotiations were short."

I feel Anakin went over the cliff and fell to the dark side when he disobeyed Windu and left the Council Chambers.

I like how your story seems to hinge on that one moment, which seems to have gone mostly unnoticed.

Anakin could not leave the Council Chambers, and still remain a Jedi.

Theory should be hired by Disney to write a “What If?” show for Star Wars

[Haruckio]

I often think about these kind of theories, I just want to see Anakin happy with his family 😭

[MatCaveGaming]

I always felt that Yoda was hearing Qui-Gon reaching out to Anakin in the moment of the Tuskin slaughter, but Anakin ignored the call of Qui-gon. Anakin was so clouded by hate and anger that maybe Anakin didn’t even hear/feel it. Such a powerful scene and one of my favorite moments in the prequels. Great video, dude. I always enjoy these theories and what ifs.

Whenever anakin gets granted the rank of master is makes me smile

[DarthAxolotl]

He never told anakin what to do.
"Say here"
"But"
"StAy In tHAt COcKpIt"

Outside of palpatine's ending in this one,
this is the best fan fiction you've ever done. Truly amazing and I believe it's how George would play it out. The concept of Anakin finally becoming a true jedi and getting powerful, strong with the force and leaning all it's aspects after speaking with Qui Gon is extremely interesting, like his whole life was meaningless to that point, that all his teachings he got were horrible and wrong. Once again, GREAT stuff, almost perfect.

[RipCityBassWorks]

There's a plot hole: if Palpatine was unable to call order 66, Ashoka would have been successful in bringing Maul before the Jedi Council...

[echowinter]

I really liked this. I do believe Anakin would reveal the truth of his relationship with Padme, however. Qui-Gon may not have been overly powerful in life but in death I feel he could rival Palpatine, at least in knowledge of the Force.

[hellothere]

Imagine if he had a talk with Anakin and maybe persuaded him to not go down the dark path...what a different story that would’ve been wow.

[cameroncope]

I like that either way Luke’s and yoda’s paths cross and he becomes a important role in Luke’s development

[Wingbar]

Anakin’s story is so sad. Oh how I wish this was the actual timeline..

[djstone]

Theory is usually great at voice impressions of SW characters but his Qui-Gon was made me laugh 😂

[MCsAdvice]

The one thing Anakin desperately needed, was understanding from others.
