This Will Change the Way You See Qui-Gon Jinn 

Exactly. Liam Neeson totally embodied what Qui-Gon was just the way Sir Alec Guinness embodied what Ben Kenobi was!

I always loved our Quigon was viewed as that hippie Jedi, so obsessed with going with the flow (of the force) living off his feelings that sticking to what his society (the Jedi order) demanded or rather expected of him. A lot of the council and Jedi as a whole looked down on him, yet he truly was the only Jedi in Millenia to learn how to become a force ghost, showing how right and powerful he became. After all, it was him who taught Yoda, the greatest Jedi master, how to become a force ghost and to learn to abandon the Jedi dogma and instead take the time to reflect on the will of the force

Totally agree

Revan only started to figure things out after exploring both sides

Council learned their lesson with Kriea though, didn't they? Keep em close! 🤓

Yes, because he himself went through it, same with Luke. That’s what makes qui gon and Luke the best Jedi’s of all time. Luke very much agreed with qui gone views

I agree I also feel like mace windu would have been an excellent teacher if he had chose to trust anakin

Common fan fic fuel but the act of saving Anakin would have been against the Balance though and if you paid attention you would see that likely Qui-Gon would have let him become Vader in the end knowing through is prophetic views that The One's sacrifice means balance for the whole of the Force. Some might argue it's why Darth Maul was able to put him down in the end so as to spare Qui-Gon from having to make the choice in the first place though I believe he would have in the end let the Prophecy unfold.

It’s been pretty openly discussed amongst directors and writers within Star Wars that Quigon was the enabling vessel of the force to bring the chosen one into the fold and allow for balance to be brought to it. Quigon himself and his survival would have been a huge factor into how Anakin would have developed. It’s why that final battle and it’s orchestration was referred to as “Duel of the Fates” the fight is for the fate of Anakin. Quigon’s battle to ensure Anakin can see the balance within the living force and Maul knowing that his master has a much bigger plan, an endgame so to say and identifies Quigon and Obi Wan as key pieces on the board that are too close to walking beyond the path of democracy and the Jedi councils dogma instead allowing the force to guide them to form an opposition against Sidious’s plan. As much as the prequels have their downfalls the core story and it’s setup and payoffs is phenomenal and the political context and how Sidious controls things is brilliant. It’s really fitting that when we reach Episode 3 that “duel of the fates” is referenced again in the final battles to form a closure to the story arc, the music is essentially creating a bridge between the two events showing this is the fate, the outcome from that initial battle all those years previously on Naboo.

Seeing as that Qui-gon was killed I felt Mace Windu should have stepped up to train him. If for no other reason he knows how to control his Dark side, something Obi-wan just wasn't equipped to help him However I do think Obi-wan's experience with Anakin would be greatly helpful with Luke.

Said almost the exact same thing my friend. He was the only true Jedi by listening to the will of the force and not being run by the Republic in the entire order. He did what he needed to and what the living Force told him to and the rest of them were being ordered around by a sith Lord and did not know it. They had a lot of balls looking down on him if he asked me. They all became part of the problem and were the very instruments they were trying to fight.

One retcon thst wouldn't bother me would be Qui Gon's ability to appear in person, not just a disembodied voice.

Yes yes yes

"we can protect you...but we can't fight a war for you"...episode one....true wisdom there.

Some of yall havent seen the Clone Wars and it shows. Qui-Gon Jinn appeared to Obi-wan as a force ghost.

Liam Neeson has become a goofy meme now though. Too many Taken films fried his brain

All great but would just prolong my wait for yoda. I want to see his entire history and you all know how long he lived.

@@goldengun9970 I'd rather see anything else tbh

Qui-Gon animated series, to allow the great Liam Neeson to voice him. Too bad Christopher Lee would not be able to voice Dooku.

@@Parocha They can modulate on computer Christopher Lee voice as Dooku. Qui-gon animated series is the only option to show it.

@@SeleneSalvatore what about corey burton?

Are there any books on his story?

@@askaribrown3358 There's a book about Mace Windu called "Shatterpoint" that's pretty good

Really, I'll have to find the book and add it to my book collection. I've always thought Qui-gon was a bit of rebel and definitely a great Jedi who definitely understand the force.

Windu was a fanatic for the Republic. He wouldn't have wanted to separate from the senate knowing it would ruin their relationship with the Republic.

He was a Jedi before they bond themselves to the republic and their accumulated dogma.

I am the same way with those characters. You worded that so well and I feel that. Qui-Gon was a true grey Jedi in his thinking.

dude that exact same thing happened to me, i remember watching phantom menace on vhs when i was like 7, and for some reason i always knew that qui-gon was def my favorite jedi out of all of them. anyone could ask and i would always say qui-gon jin. now that im almost 20, pretty much every single one of his ideas reside in me in such a cringy, but very real way

and its Liam Neeson which is pure winning

Since Obi Wan learned to commune with him while on Tatooine it's practicaly assured Qui Gon or at least his ghost will play a role on this series.

This he’s well

This would be most beneficial

Him and Ahsoka :) my two favorite

Nice perspective

I don't know if he actually beat Palpatine or if Palpatine deliberately lost in order to be in a position to get Anakin to make the final step in turning against the Jedi and going to the Dark Side

@@Steve_P_B, I say Mace defeated Sidious. Since Sidious knew he may lose to Mace he told Anakin anything he did in order to lure Windu and his companions into the trap. When he fought Windu Sidious had no fear of getting killed because he knew that Anakin would come to safe him. He knew he may not be able to defeat Mace but he didn't have to, because he knew his plan would work.

I would only argue on it because Mace windu had become a puppet of a sith Lord and so had all the other Jedi but quite on gin. Granted he fixed the problem when he found out and I do believe he really beat sidious I don't care what that novel says. The Jedi have become the very institution they were trying to fight by being politicians and dogs of the military or the Republic so to speak. They were no longer using the religion that they swore to uphold. Qui-Gon was not on the council because he knew this.

@@BJETNTI disagree that Mace Windu was anyone's puppet.

@@Steve_P_B disagree doesn't mean it's wrong. He still kicked the emperor's ass I don't care what that novel said. He was too arrogant to take the risk of letting a chance like that decide the fate of all their effort. Mace windu really did beat him. The reason he was a puppet bro and I don't like it either honestly but they were being completely manipulated and fighting a false war and were killing people that were just puppies and being manipulated they became the very institution they were fighting against. Mace windu embedded himself he had lost the ability to use the force because they could not see the clone army and they didn't know they were being ran by a sith Lord. Being manipulated by The sith makes him a puppet brother he was not pulling his own strings. Now it is defense the entire Jedi order had the same issue but he was in it. The sith order set that up for a thousand years and engineered the entire war with the separatists to put sheave palpatine into power. Mace windu did not stop or see this. Plus they lost their ability to see certain things. The emperor was able to pull a shroud over everyone including Yoda. They were all puppets they were all being manipulated and used to make the sith the ultimate power in the Galaxy again. Honestly I blame Yoda for that. But he was still one of the most badass Jedi to ever live and kicked the emperor's ass in a real fight. But all of them were being manipulated and did not see it coming if that happened to me I would be a puppet. Anyway I appreciate your comment and I love a good discussion thank you bro

would even like to maybe hear Dooku in it too ... where you see Dooku start to go in Qui Gon's "maybe the path of the Jedi is not right" path more ... setting up what happens with him

Maybe YOU are the one who is getting it wrong.

@@Steve_P_B Grey Jedi use dark side and light side of the force, Qui Gun Jin use only lightside of the force, but ulike the other jedi of his era he does not care about the politics he listens to the will of the Force like true lightside jedi should, there is the difference in listening to the will of the Force and using darkside and lightside of the force, Qui Gun Jin is the lightside force user that listens to the will of the Force.

@@filipcesnjak2944 that's one interpretation. Another is that Grey Jedi dod not strictly adhere to the extreme view that the light side needed to exist to the point that the dark side doesn't, they believe that there has to be a balance.

@@filipcesnjak2944 that definition of grey jedi just reeks of mary sue tbh

@@filipcesnjak2944 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wiImoO5QkcA.html aroubd 1:03 to 1:05 mark GL states that using the darkside means not having balance at all. You cant use the darkside and claim darkside as per gl

I knew there was a reason

Sadly the removed every comic and book from canon. Only the movies are now

@@101joebro I know, and it's a real shame. But from what I understand, everything written before the sequels came out is now part of extended universe lore to allow it to still be sold to make Disney further profits and to keep fans moderately happy. So it should still be available for sale somewhere.

@@michellewilt4479 it's still for sale all over. But it follows the quote history is written by the winners.

@@101joebro very true, unfortunately. But they are still selling, and that matters.
