What If Qui-Gon Jinn Trained Anakin Skywalker - Star Wars Story Explained 

The fact that Qui Gon was so attuned to the Force, I think he'd have trained Anakin to be a pure Jedi 👍 not a slave to the arrogant ways they followed. Qui Gon followed the will of the force and nothing else.

Ah, the "What If" saga returns. Balance has been restored.

“If the training of young Anakin would not be sanctioned by the Jedi it shall be sanctioned by the force.” That is the most qui gon statement I’ve ever heard

Jedi Council: " The balance doesn't see you fit to wield the force " Anakin Skywalker: " *I am the balance* "

Obiwan would’ve left, too. This is shortly after him and Satine’s original fling and Quigon leaving would’ve given him the courage to do the same thing.

Qui gonn probably would have been smart enough to realize that going back and saving Anakin's mother from slavery and her eventual demise would greatly aid his training of Anakin as his doubts and fear of losing her would be reduced and when her time does come he would be old and wise enough to accept the nature of the force and not try to bend it to his will by way of the dark side

If Qui Gon replaced Obi Wan in the Mustafar duel. Anakin: From my point of view the jedi are evil! Qui Gon: *Smacks Anakin* Shut up. Anakin: Yes master...

“If the training of the young Anakin will not be sanctioned by the Jedi, it will be sanctioned by the Force.” That line hits deep!

Yoda: train the boy, you will not Qui-gon-gin: *leaves Jedi order* Dooku: *leaves Jedi order* Yoda: no no, this isn't how you're suppossed to play the game

This needs a part two. Just like the What If Maul Killed Obi Wan one as well

They should do “What If...” for Star Wars as well as Marvel, it would be amazing to see the alternate scenarios in Star Wars

Qui-Gon was a gray jedi. Shit would be so different if he survived. I wish we could explore this in an alternate universe plot of Star Wars.

Qui Gon: “Where can I hide from Maul?” *Reaches into the Force itself* Qui Gon: “I know I’ll hide on his home planet!”

Just imagine if Anakin was trained by Jinn and Dooku ... he'd have been a literal god.

Qui gon Jinn has always been one of my favorite characters. He was drastically different from most jedi. He was so attuned to the force and insightful. Not to mention he followed the living force unlike most.

Honestly, I feel like Qui Gon-Jinn could have been a much better and developed character if he was at least explained a bit more before he was killed off early.

I'm pretty sure a bunch of sand people wouldn't have died. Along with the millions of others.

8:45 I think Quigon would have been smart enough to go back and make sure Anakin's mom was ok and check on her with Anakin from time to time.

I feel as if Anakin went down this route a purple light-saber would have fit his aesthetic perfectly, being trained in exactly how to combat and counter the dark side by understanding its power but while simultaneously being fully pledged towards the light outside of the Jedi's doctrines. A fascinating Theory thx for the upload.

Qui Gon: we have a sith we need jedi assistance Jedi: we are busy Qui Gon: all are busy Jedi: yes sit on comfy chairs we do. Qui Gon: send help there is a sith lord Jedi: no Qui Gon dies Jedi: our plan worked we got him killed.

I remember the first “what if Qui-Gon trained Anakin” you did years ago, which led him to be easier swayed by Sidious. With all of the new things we know in the lore, it’s great that you’re doing an updated version. Keep it up.

I have a good idea, what if Anakin spared the younglings...

Quigon was such an underrated character. So much potential was shut down with his death :(

Anakin was so powerful he never reached he's full potential

I have a good one: What if Mace Windu fought Count Dooku in Attack of The Clones

I always thought Anakin would have had a purple lightsaber if he were trained by Qui-Gon Jinn.

What if Bail Organa had said "we always wanted a son" and had picked Luke, leaving Leia to grow up on Tattooine under the eye of Obi Wan?

This sounds way more interesting than the actual story.

Please do “what if Palpatine lost his election as Chancellor”!

“We must join with him, Qui-Gon. We must join with Sauron.” “Who?” “Sidious. We must join with Sidious, I said.”

I personally believe Jinn was one of the few Jedi who had the insight to see past the Order’s narrow interpretation of the Force, while not becoming so disillusioned as to be vulnerable to the dark side. Jinn, imo, was the only Jedi who could really understand Anakin’s position and could have turned him from his dark fate.

Luke: loses hand Vader: loses hand Leia: loses Han I didn’t make this joke so don’t let me take the credit I saw this n a comment section before I wrote this

If Qui Gon Jinn was still alive, he would've put Anakin on a straight path and Anakin wouldn't have fallen to the dark side.

Qui-Gon would've taught him to *oppose the sand*

I believe that qui gon would've made things easier and more understanding for Anakin as well as help him understand why things happen and the reasons behind them. He would open his eyes to the true nature of things.

Hey, I'm liking this! I always wished that Qui-Gon hadn't been killed off in The Phantom Menace. With all due respect to Obi-Wan, I think Qui-Gon would've been a much better Master for Anakin, especially since he didn't seem as rigid and inflexible in the ways of the Jedi as the others.

I want this idea turned into a book, I would read the heck out of it

I love the “What if” series! What if Count Dooku turned Obi-Wan to the dark side in Attack of the Clones?

I like how this story is turning out and I feel like your ideas here are definitely very plausible. I look forward to part two!

“The Grey Order” Anyone else like this name for an Order for Grey Jedi?

I love What Ifs. Thanks for making this!

I rewatched phantom menace again and i came to the conclusion that yes qui-gon jinn would have been a better master for anakin.

I love the amount of thought and detail you put into this video and alternate storyline. I wish we could have a spin of series where these events happen bc I want to see more of Qui-gon

Qui gon’s view on the force gave him unrivaled wisdom in my opinion. I feel like he would’ve been able to become some what of a teacher to dooku like he did to yoda. I think he’d be able to at least stabilize dooku in his views on the force

"Not Jedi, not sith...." BEHOLD! THE FAR SIDE OF THE FORCE!

Why do you believe Anakin would possess a Yellow lightsaber? Yellow lightsabers were mainly for protectors, such as the Jedi Sentinels/Temple guards.

I love how you tell it like a story and add pictures and cutscenes. With your great story telling I can actually imagine the story

What if Mace Windu trained Anakin? Mace would have taught Anakin how to properly use his emotions and both sides of the force.

i actually like this more then star wars theory's take on this

I would’ve like to see the maverick train the Chosen One in the Jedi arts

Some friends and I had an idea for a Star Wars tv series set in an alternate reality. In it, Qui-Gon was unable to free Anakin from his slavery on Tatooine, and instead, Darth Maul found him and decided to train him as his secret apprentice. Being trained by one of the greatest light-saber duelists of the time. Later in the series, Palpatine finds out, kills Maul, then takes Anakin as his apprentice. Now being trained by one of the greatest dark side force users, and not getting chopped up and burned on Mustifar, we get to see Anakin at his full potential. I have this vision of a season finale with full-strength Anakin standing against a huge number of Jedi. As he cuts them down, he controls their lightsabers with the force, and uses them to fight more and more Jedi at once. It would be an amazing story and would allow for some absolutely sick fight scenes.

This was an amazing video, perfect writing of the characters!

Please keep up with the “What Ifs?” That’s what I started watching back in the day and loved.

Being that Qui-Gonn is my favorite jedi I enjoy any story to where he survives and I do enjoy your take on this subject up to a certain point, something that I don't think he would ever do. I'm a firm believer that Qui-Gonn is the true Jedi, that he listens to the Force first before anything/anyone else. And that the council are the diluted jedi, listening to the politics of the galaxy before the Force. I don't think Qui-Gonn would every train Anakin in the ways of the dark side or take him to Dathomir. Knowing he is to train Anakin to bring balance to the force, I don't understand why teaching him in the dark side or taking him to such a evil and corrupted place would help in Qui-Gonn's goal. We have seen tons of times in the books and comics to where Jedi can become corrupt to long exposer to the dark side and Qui-Gonn would not risk that for Anakin or himself falling to the dark. I think he would take Anakin to Unknown space and hide away there, telling him all aspect of the force but never teaching him the dark side, mainly because he would not really know how to train him in the dark side. Knowing that Anakin can turn fully to the dark so easily. I'm pretty sure people will disagree with me on this and perfectly fine, just throwing my take on it out there. Again always enjoy these episodes and all you do. May the Force be with you.

Awesome start, will definitely be looking up part 2.

I've been watching your content for about two years but this video is the one that made me subscribe, well done.

My Prediction: Anakin cuts down Palpatine instead of siding with him. Order 66 Never happens. Obi-Wan would be weaker since Qui Gon's death prepels him to master Soresu. With him still alive he'd probably stick to Form 4. A Grey Anakin would be the strongest Jedi in history.

I think my master (Qui-Gon) would teach him how to force heal

Thanks Stupendous Wave, you’re videos make me able to get through self quarantine

What if, instead of ditching the clones in favor of recruits, the empire had stuck with clones and simply turned up all their chips like they did with Crosshair?

I'd love to see what George Lucas's thoughts are on how this alternate scenario would work out.

Qui-Gon would have seen through Palpatine eventually. Would the outcome of been the same, or would he have been able to save Anakin. I can't say. But the loss of Qui-Gon was a loss the Jedi could not afford.

Literal chills. This is wonderful. Someone give this man a raise.

So glad you have decided to bring this series back!!!

Looking forward to part 2 , Qui-Gon is easily my all-time fave Jedi, all about the path of the grey.

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. Well done The Stupendous Wave.

Please prioritize this story, it's honestly so good and the way you've written it is phenomenal

I'm so happy you're bringing these back!!!

This feels like what If Qui Gun Jinn Started The Grey Jedi order My opinion this is an incredible What if lot better then your last what if Master Jinn trained Anakin BUT one thing you miss is that Qui Gun Jinn would never ever leave Obi Wan Kenobi in the order that’s already fallen & Corrupted he’d take Both Anakin Skywalker & Obi Wan Kenobi with him And trained them both in the new method Qui Gun Jinn will create not the ways of the Jedi or Sith but just the ways of THE FORCE Both Anakin & Obi Wan basically are his kids / Sons / boys etc etc that he cares very deeply about & are basically his responsibility (in a parenting way) I can’t be the only one who thinks this

“I want to bring the series back in full force.” Ahhhh, clever!

Dude I love this stuff more than the actual storylines. Please keep doing it :3

Amazing video, return of one of your best series!

Born from darkness Forged by the light There is no peace There is no wrath There is only strength There is only knowledge There is only life There is only the FORCE !!!

Skywalker’s fate was sealed the moment he met Padme and then left his mother to become a Jedi Padawan... no matter if Qui-Gon Jinn lived or not... He always 2 things on his mind other than training to be Jedi Knight his Mother and Padme....

Your story telling ability is amazing. Good work

I think this 'what if story' was executed perfectly, keep up the good work.

I like that Anakin learns the ways of the Dark Side. I feel like that was where his potential lays the most, but he also knows the Light too. Like Revan.

his DARKNESS... grows BRIGHTER?

The Stupendous Way. Please make a part 3 please i know that you would have a lot going on in your personal life and juggling with your work and personal matters aswell. Your vidoes are really good im hooked on too your part 1,2 videos it is very interesting and it feels very natural of how qui gon would train anakin

Loved your take on this!

Kind of odd IMO that you made Dooku evil still. I think it can be argued even as a "sith" that he was more of a dark Jedi. Qui-gons death is the straw that broke the camels back for him. I think without that, he still would have been on the good side at the least, though yes willing to experiment with some of the dark side abilities with Qui-gon to train Anakin and give himself greater strength.

It would have been interesting if Qui Gon had taken Dooku along, seeing Dooku help train Anakin would've been epic.

Always wondered this! Well done 👏

Welcome back my friend. It is good to hear your voice again.

Would Master Qui-Gon attempt to rescue Shmi from slavery now that he can, It might keep Anakin more grounded as a person

I would love to see this story and this different spin on these amazing characters. Maybe if the MCU what if stories are loved by a wide audience, Disney might think about doing a similar what if for their popular stories/characters

Please continue this! I love it so far!

I am very intrigued! Please continue!

At 5:00 Qui Gonn looks a bit like Winston Churchill

Love this "what if" scenario. This gets me thinking about what would happen beyond this. Would Sidious be confident enough to challenge his master? Would Anakin reach out to Padme? Would more jedi leave with Qui-Gon? I'd imagine that with both Dooku and Qui-Gon leaving at the same time that a splinter group would follow.

Amazing video man I've been a fan for years

This was one of the best "What if...?" videos I've seen regarding Star Wars. I'm really curious about what you will bring us on part 2.

The thing that we will not see if Jin is alive or more accurate heard is the tragedy of Darth Plagues the wise

jedi council: *refuses to train anakin* quigon: fine, i'll do it myself.

I can watch these what if videos for days I love them

What if Anakin fell in love with a Nightsister instead of Padme in this scenario?

Okay heres a neat idea: What if Anakin was randomly selected to become a Temple Guard (while secretly married to Padme)?

Glad to see this back. I was half expecting you to go to Ach-To. But perhaps there after Dathomir?

good stuff man cant wait for part 2!!!!

I love how Anakin is supposedly so strong with the force that no one has ever seen anything like it, and yet the most interesting thing we ever see him do with the force is choke someone. Like, really? Even Yoda managed to pull an entire X-wing out of a swamp, but the "chosen one" can squeeze people's throats enough to cut off their breathing. That really doesn't take much force, no pun intended.
