The One Jedi Palpatine FEARED More Than Any Other - Star Wars Explained 

Who would’ve thought that the thing he feared most was a Jedi with common sense.

Qui-Gon would’ve exposed Darth Sidious soon after the Clone Wars started

Palpitine feared QGJ because he possesed a particular set of skills.

Just thinking about qui gon makes me pee my emperor robes

Palpatine most likely sighed in silent relief when Maul killed Qui-Gon on Naboo

Qui-Gon Jinn was a very great Star Wars character. It's a shame that he died😔 he's one of my favorites

Qui Gon was more interested in the force than the Order. That's why he's my fave. If you're a good person because you can't be a bad person, then it's not really a choice or even that admirable. But if you understand the dark within yourself and the world, but choose the light anyway- that's real truth and strength. That's a really difficult thing to put into any code. Especially when some cultures don't understand anything but might.

Qui-Gon Jin: A Star Wars Story

ln the end he was of sorts responsable of Palpatine's fate, by training Obi-Wan from the grave, thus Luke indirectly

Honestly I love phantom menace and genuinely wasn’t bother by Jar Jar even though he was annoying. I wasnt really bored at any point in the movie. Qui Gon, Pod Racing, Darth Maul, Young Obi Wan, The Final Battle. Yes it had flaws but personally I loved it

Qui-Gon Jinn would've been perfect for Anakin to train under. In all respects, he was the perfect master for handling students like Anakin, where Obi-Wan had struggled many times to teach him. Qui-Gon didn't see in absolutes, either. He knew the Dark Side was just as important as the Light Side, and was more concerned with balance than with which side should be dominant.

QGJ is still my favorite because he was all about the will of the force and he was much more wise than what he led Obi Wan to believe imo

He feared him because Liam neeson played qui-gon

QGJ was the first to "return from the force." He was the greatest Jedi ever...

I need more stuff on Qui-Gon. He really was my favorite character and I think he was vastly unexplored.

Qui-Gon was so spiritually intune with the force that he was the first one ever to become a force ghost and make himself immortal.

The only one who Palpatine feared was Lord JarJar...

Palpatine: I fear no man but that thing, “Qui-Gon” it scares me.

I feel like qui-gon was the only Jedi who studied and focused on the living force more then anyone else...and by doing so he can gain perspectives not everyone can see so that’s why I think he was targeted and was a threat to palpatines plan

I wish Disney would do a Star Wars “What if?” Series. So we could see what happened if qui-gon trained anakin, and other interesting what ifs

Qui-Gon : There’s always a bigger fish

Fear is the way of the dark side And palpatine fear a lot

Even more reasons why he is my favorite jedi of all time.

All of these details make me appreciate Qui-Gon even more such an intresting character wish they could be more stories about him.

Darth Sidious fears Qui Gon Jinn because the latter is known to have a particular set of skills that the Sith Lord doesn't... 🤣🤣

I love this view of Jin. Like he’s the last vestige of what the Jedi Order was supposed to be, instead of how entangled they became within politics and themselves.

I just realized while watching this video how Qui-Gon Jinn managed to become as independent and self-thinking as he was. He was trained by Count Dooku. He was also self-thinking. He disagreed with the Jedi Council quite a few times himself. Some of that rubbed off on Qui-Gon Jinn. But luckily it was in a good way.

I feel like we’ll be seeing a lot more of Qui gon during the obi wan show

Hahaha! I love the way you always say, "May the Force be with YOOOOOO."

Okay we're getting a kenobi series, im just excitedas everyone else, however, Id say a Qui-Gon series would make more sense. I get there is a lot of hype for Kenobi and he is pretty much THE star wars poster boy, next to anakin, or mary sue, but if you just watch the movies and dont really look into it, like a lot of people do, his character can fly over your head. The movies didn't really give Qui-Gon the same light that Obi-Wan got. And thats a damn shame because he is such a deep and well written character. And for fans like us, itd be nice to get some live action coverage of his life. He deserves more than just a voice over in aotc or an appearance in tcw. It doesnt help that TPM got a bad rep, but ROTS showed that characters from multiple broken movies can still be enjoyed with good screenwriting. Given the success of the mandalorian, who might i mention is an entirely new character, I don't have a doubt in my mind that a series on Qui-gon would be anything short of spectacular. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Take a shot every time he says Qui-Gon Jin

The gungan that Palpatine feared the most.

Qui-Gon Jinn is so cool i wished he whould have survived a few more movies

The reason why palpating feared qui-gon was because he was ra's al ghul

Qui-Gon lacked the arrogance that pervaded on the council. He wasn’t slowed down by the prevarication of Yoda, Mace and others. Guided by the force at all times, this left him free to follow his feeling and didn’t let the Jedi tie him down. I do think that Obi-Wan learned a lot from him, and this allowed Obi-Wan to outwit the Emperor later on, and see that Luke remained hidden and was trained as a Jedi.

“Bring something very interesting and particular with their set of skills” I see what you did there.

Let’s hope we get some Liam Neeson in the Obi-wan tv series !

Qui-Gon was my favorite character In the whole saga he always struck me as the master that would’ve chosen me and I would’ve learned the most about the use of the force from him

I’ve been digging into the lore of Star Wars ever since the season finale of the Mandalorian. Your videos are amazingly crafted and have given me a greater understanding of the Star Wars universe (Disney needs your help w/ story telling )

thanks for showing me this, i also love this subtlety of the star wars universe. you have made qui gon jinn my new favorite jedi.

All Liam needed to say to Palpatine was “when I find you, I will kill you.” Imagine “Star Wars: Taken.” Bam. No more Order. Haha JK Definitely love Qui-Gon Jinn.

I've been a fan since the new hope came out. I've learned alot more and still learning from all of these videos and other articles ive3 read since more information has been made public and learning from family and friends who really know about the Starwars sagas. Thank you for sharing and for future sharing. ❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤

He’s literally one of my favorite if not my favorite Jedi dude was too smart for his own good

Qui-Gon was the perfect match for Anakin; an outstanding role model and father figure, a patient and wise but firm Jedi Master. Sidious was right to be fearful of this Jedi. Qui-Gon has always been my favourite.

It seems like Darth Maul's #1 priority was to assassinate Qui-Gon Gin for the reasons you mentioned.

thank you so much for making these videos, they are extremely well done and ive enjoyed them alot! Happy New Years!

According to this channel, everyone in Star Wars is TERRIFIED of everyone else.

Would've loved to have seen Qui-Gon and Anakin's force ghost in Rise of Skywalker

I agree Qui-gon had a particular set of skills...

Qui-Gon Jinn the Witcher!

I love Qui Gon Jinn, he was a great warrior with great wisdom

Makes sense. I wouldn't want to potentially face both Liam Neeson and Samuel L. Jackson at the same time either

So at this point he’s feared every god damn Jedi in the temple according to you 🤦🏾‍♂️

Great video! You're perspective on this is great and it never occurred to me about QGJ's ability of foresight

This is a great video, had some really good points on Qui-Gon that I never noticed before

Qui Gon would have found him, and killed him.

I love this because I always wondered how the star wars story would have turned out if qui gon had trained Anakin

Yet another reason why Qui-Gon is, and remains, my favorite Jedi. I also really enjoyed Neeson's portrayal of him. His mannerisms are exactly what I'd always had in my mind's eye as those of the quintessential Jedi Knight. Calm, confident, trusting in The Force.

I've never thought of that before, but it makes perfect sense, thanks. Great video as always. =)

This guy tends to repeat himself a lot

We need a Qui-Gon Jinn Disney + Series...

I've watched this video over 10 times now, and it's so moving for some reason. His true profundity in the star wars universe is so over-looked. What is this song playing in the background of the video? I love it

" I will do what I must Obi - Wan " Qui Gon Jinn was the embodiment of the the principle that Sometimes doing the right thing isn't doing the right thing. Powerful as the other Masters were, they were blinded and clouded by their own self righteousness. Outside of Star Wars, it's a rule of life, You can't look too far forward or back all that is certain, is the very moment. Though a faithful servant of the light side Jinn was also conscientious. People like he and Anakin were not afraid to look at the weaknesses within themselves whereas other Jedi tried to tune them out via meditation. Not as powerful with the force as Master Yoda, or as skilled with a Saber as Master Windu, but a powerful warrior nonetheless. The song fit the video

Actually Qui Gon was one of the most skilled duelists the order had ever seen as mentioned in the "The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia"

What also makes Qui-gon one of the best jedi is that he knew that their "dogmatic, narrow-viewed" ways because he understood the dangers of surpressing ones feelings and ignoring those around him.

Qui-Gon is just one of the perfect exampels of what a jedi is supposed to be like, as well as Ahsoka.

Qui gon and Dooku are two of my favorite Force users. I would have loved to see the future had they both lived.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself

NeXT: The Only One sidius fears the most is Chuck Norris!

Very good. Something I never considered but your analysis is sound.

Excellent narration 👍

Exactly! Qui Gon was NOT a Grey Jedi, he was a true Light Jedi, one of the few in the Order at the time, because he listened first to the will of the Force not the will of the council, same with Ahsoka, Luke, Revan, and even Kanan.

I paused at 2:57s because what he said of Qui-Gon Jinn is true and that saying is true as well. You should never worry or bother about the future to any point of obsession but focus on the present. Do not let the activities of the future affect the inclinations of the present. Let the troubles of the future worry about itself as there are enough worries today to be concerned about. It's in the Bible but obviously said in a different context..................................................... Basically, "Do not let the troubles of tomorrow worry you today.".........................

Another fine lesson on how knowledge, both instinctively and in regards to insight, both personally and externally, is the greatest and most superior form of power in the galaxy...

Love the longer vids.

I find this kind ‘wishy washy.’ If this is true, Palpatine may have feared him because he was more of a grey Jedi and would have tapped into powers most Jedi would not. I think Mace and Gin were the few Jedi that could have defeated the Emperor.

Jinn served the force not the republic

I was both surprised, but ecstatic that Liam Neeson played Qui Gon!!! Awesome video; thank you very much!!

Great thinking man.

The real reason why Palpatine feared Qui-Gon is because Jinn had the highest ground

Bruh Palpatine feared everyone according to Stupendous Wave.

Good video. Glad my favorite Jedi is getting his due in this video. Qui Gon Jinn was the best.

Thinking outside the box gets so much more done, in a manner of speaking. Rigid systems only last so long, as you need someone to not necessarily upset the balance, but to compliment it with new ways of approach. Grey Jedi are so much more interesting. George really thought of everything.

No. Palpatine feared Obi-Wan, because he had the greatest ability of all time: The High Ground.

I thought palpatine would fear obiwan for being with anakin and obiwan could have made anakin out of the dark side. And since obiwan killed darth maul.

Love the video.. very interesting take

Great videos. I learned a lot about Star Wars and see it much differently now, in a good way. I think qui gon is extremely underrated and is more powerful than the others in a different respect. Not in power or dueling but his connection and respect and command of the force. Qui gon was the true breed of Jedi. Rip.

The runtime padding is stron with this one

Why would Senator Palpitine be afraid of the Jedi order

Absolutely 100% correct very brilliantly well explained

I think the simplest explanation is that QGJ followed the meaning of the code and not the code itself. He understood the code in its truth and wasn’t a faithless practitioner. The other Jedi were in touch with the code but practiced it and devoted themselves to it without truly understanding it. Jedi counsel would say these are the laws and QGJ would say and this is what they mean.

Qui-Gon the wise they say. if it will be successful anakin could be on par with yoda and the jedi could be unstoppable.

*Doesnt mention Rey as a Jedi master* Me: he is still the chosen one

Good analysis. Yep he was my favorite and was a shame we didnt see more of him..... very well portrayed by Neeson.

Loved Qui-Gon's Cameo in the Plagueis novel. Even then he saw though the lies of the Sith. Although he was only in Plagueis's presence for a short period of time, that's all it took for him to call him out on his Bullshit right in front of the other Jedi including his then Master Dooku who had not yet been corrupted. A great read for that scene alone!

This is my OPINION: They should really bring back QGJ in the upcoming Kenobi series.

Palpatine was evil itself he WAS the image

Qui-Gon Jinn is such an interesting character in that he's essentially the ultimate student of the Force itself. His status as a Jedi came second to his personal devotion to understanding the Force and through it, understanding both the universe and the life that existed in it.

Qui_Gon and Count Dooku felt the Jedi council allowed themselves to be under the rule of the Senate. Qui-Gon allowed the Force to guide him, something the council didn't do!!

Well apparently Qui-Gon didn’t in fact have the high ground...
