Why Qui-Gon Was the ONLY Jedi Who Believed Anakin Could Be Redeemed 

Qui-Gon Jin taking restoring balance to an ACTUAL level 🤣

QuiGon was like a spirit father to Anakin. I remember when Anakin was killing all the sand people in the camp that killed his mother- QuiGon was crying out to Anakin to stop. But Anakin was in so much turmoil, he didn't hear the pleas.

Qui Gon Jinn is a true example of what the jedi should've been like.

Qui-gon Jinn was the true Jedi that should have survived and became a Jedi master to succeeded yoda.

Qui-Gon would have been the best mentor for Anakin.

Qui Gon will always be my favorite Jedi

Qui-Gon would’ve been a great choice to be Anakin’s Master. I believe that Qui-Gon felt Anakin’s pain, sadness. & rage when he was killing the sand people one by one.

Anakin Skywalker: Space Jesus Qui-Gon Jin: Looks, sounds, and acts like Space Jesus

Qui-Gon is such a noble Jedi. So powerful,exceptionally smart. . True father figure and friend. Obi-Wan is partially responsible for Anakin's fall. Maybe Obi-Wan wasn't ready. But Qui-Gon completely believed and loved Anakin. May the Force be with you always😊

''Why Qui-Gon was the ONLY Jedi who believed Anakin could be redeemed'' Luke Skywalker: Am I a joke to you?

Because he understood the true prophecy. The Jedi understood the prophecy that THEY wanted.

I think it comes down to the main difference between Qui-Gon and perhaps the entire Jedi Order at the time. Despite the mission they were on, Qui-Gon was willing to help Jar Jar and Anakin. Obi-Wan wasn't, and I don't think the rest of the Jedi would have either. While almost the entire Jedi Order were focused on protecting the Republic as a whole, Qui-Gon was perhaps the only one who wanted to help the individual citizens while helping the galaxy as a whole. He was able to connect and empathize with people - a skill or trait the Jedi had lost/forgotten. If the Jedi knew about Anakin and the Tusken, they would have decreed that he had turned to the dark side and cast him out. Qui-Gon would acknowledge that Anakin had committed a dark act, but he wouldn't have cast Anakin aside. He wouldn't have condoned what Anakin had done, but he would have comforted Anakin and tried to help Anakin work through the tumult of emotions. In the Legends book The Life and Times of Obi-Wan, as a ghost, Obi-Wan witnessed the events of ROTJ and the confrontation on the second Death Star. He was surprised when he saw Vader save Luke and toss the Emperor to his death. He saw Anakin reemerge. It was then that he understood what Qui-Gon was trying to teach him. Obi-Wan had given up on Anakin. Qui-Gon never did. After everything that happened, while I don't believe Qui-Gon would forgive Anakin for what he had done, he wouldn't have turned his back to Anakin. The continuity of the novel No Prisoners is debatable. Ahsoka was in it, so it should be part of the current continuity, but the Wookiepedia declared it Legends. Anyway, I think I mentioned it before, but Anakin meets Djinn Altis and the Altisian Jedi in that novel. At the end of the novel, Djinn Altis was cursing Yoda and the Jedi Order for not helping Anakin. Djinn Altis more or less stated that the Jedi Order were trying to get Anakin to control his emotions by putting a straight-jacket on them, rather than teaching Anakin to channel his emotions in a way that he could do good. There are fanfics out there where the Jedi, including Yoda, admit that while Obi-Wan was a good teacher for Anakin, Qui-Gon would have been a better mentor for Anakin. They say that because of the two's willingness to defy the Jedi Council. But I think it would have been better because of Qui-Gon's willingness to help the individual citizen rather than the whole - something Anakin wanted to do from the beginning. Qui-Gon would have been able to do what Djinn Altis believed the Jedi should have done - help Anakin learn to control his emotions and channel them to do good. Palpatine was able to do that, but to serve his evil intentions. At the beginning of a similar novel, Wild Space, Obi-Wan learned from Padmé about Shmi's death. That was enough to make him not berate Anakin for not obeying his orders to remain on Naboo. Watching Anakin break down and cry over the loss of his hand and his mother was the moment Obi-Wan chose to stop being Anakin's disapproving master and start being his friend. He did that because he saw that continuing to be the disapproving master wasn't going to help Anakin where Anakin really needed it. Around the time of Labyrinth of Evil and Revenge of the Sith, he saw that Anakin was still not at peace, and he often wondered where he went wrong. Why he didn't help Anakin more? The answer was because he didn't know how to help Anakin. He never knew how important it was to help the individual citizen. The events of the prequels and the Clone Wars, along with ROTJ, taught him that, and at the beginning of the Thrawn Trilogy, he gave Luke his final lesson before passing on completely. A lesson that C-3PO helped Luke to understand - governments are important, but so are people. This lesson enabled Luke and his allies to help Talon Karrde, Mara Jade, and Garm Bel Iblis. And those acts allowed the three and their associates to reciprocate and help the New Republic for years afterwards.

Anikin is Qui Gon’s true apprentice

It's human nature that if we feel responsible for someone's actions we take responsibility and redemption is the only thing that gives that person peace of mind

So qui gon jinn was the only Jedi who could have would’ve saved Anakin Skywalker helping him fulfill the prophecy of the chosen one Destin to bring balance to the force

This is why qui gon is my favorite Jedi. He really deserves a movie

Qui Gon Jinn is the GOAT.

This is beautiful.

You know, I honestly believe that if anakin left with Ahsoka, the jedi would have still gone after him because he's too powerful to let to go free He would be too much of a risk And there are jedi masters that will agree with that so anakin Would never be truly free

This video further cements my belief that anakin was destined/fated to fall

QuiGonJinn was truly a empathic , understanding man who looks at live from bigger then his own view points & opinions which I respect about him highly 👏🏾. This is why QuiGonJinn is one of the only few JEDI in the order of that time period who would have been effective at training Anakin & helping him become the person he is meant to be ✅.

Well qui gon had a view from a higher dimension.

my theory is more about the force- i think the force flows like water or the wind through life, exciting the natural elements in all life like midichlorians or whatever- so imagine if all of the good guys trying to serve the force were too resistant to change- bogged down by dogma and fear. so what that does is it plugs up the light- the jedi are getting an extremely small amount of force really fast maybe it causes a physical anxiety because theyre so bogged down that theyre not helping other forms of life- remember what anakin says "if i were a jedi id come back here and free all the slaves" no shit that kid has the force in him its that empathy that smooths the forces flow its why he could wield it so well he wasnt blocked up so the flow is easier to meditate on and run with. qui-gon merely recognized how hes the best conduit hes ever seen. using a fluid metaphor this kinda makes sense hes there to get rid of the damme blockage from the light side and stop the overflow on the other side. the sith are always destroyable they bleed the force theyre idea is block it up so tight its like wielding hydrocannons with psi to cut iron; that would explian why theyre so torn up physically theyre basically trying to keep up with a hydrocutter pace of force. destroying that allows the reset people like luke and so on can thing spring board into a more calm even flow across life. anakin is essentially replacing old infrastructure. and lukes trying to do a more efficient method.

I fell the same way about Star Wars itself, that there is some goodness in it and that it can be redeemed.

On Tatooine.

Qui gon was like anakins father. And luke was anakins son. Only a father and son have belief in their fallen family member.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

I’m more of a Sith fan, but Qui-Gon is my favorite Jedi 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Another reson Qui-Gon-Jin always new is cos when he spoke to him as force goast Darth Vader called him Master so he was still Anikin in his eye's

It is still my deepest joy and greatest belief that, while Anakin was the ultimate, Quigon was the most connected ever to the force concerning Anakin.

Did yoda not hint at it in emperor strikes back?

Qui guy was just tryna save face

What to say about Qui-Gon Jinn. He always was two steps ahead of everybody

0:33 It was always clear to me that the dogmatic views of the jedi order and the freedom of the darkside are what eventually led to him turning. All it would've taken was some compassion and understanding. Even if it was fake (sedious)

Like most fan theories, if he survived the duel of fates, qui gon should have left the order to train anakin, with dooku following, to found their own order.

Qui-Gon had to believe. Being wrong would have been extremely awkward. Especially after Obi-Wan and Yoda became force ghosts.

The only other Jedi that should have trained anakin was windu. His ability to control his emotions would have been able to save him from going to the darkness. I honestly wonder how the story would play out if the council had made windu his master would the Jedi have fallen the way they did. Or would it have been a totally different scenario based on a much more battle trained and an even stronger mindset.

This should have been the Kenobi series

The ONLY person who could redeem Anakin was Luke. It had to be someone who could share in Anakin's horror, and come back from it first. That's what Luke did. He gave in to the dark side, he attacked his father and even maimed him. Then he did the one thing that Anakin could not believe was possible: Luke stopped what he was doing, and made the RIGHT decision. Luke showed him that IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO DO THE RIGHT THING! Anakin never believed that was possible until that moment. For all the things that those closest to him said and did, they were never in a position to truly guide Anakin back. Only Luke was. Padme, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, Yoda - none of these people had been to the "gates of hell" as Anakin and Luke had. Luke had to fall (momentarily), and come back to himself, to show his father the way.

Quon Jen was the only Jedi master who had the understanding to trust the force and obey the force. Obi-Wan did not pass that information down to Anakin and what people to understand. Is that talk Anakin Chaka Anakin with more than likely have not followed the Sith and I’m talking about the fourth that teaches you how to hear and be led by the force.

I still believe you, as a friend and mentor! Even if darf vader look like juse sometime 😅

Unlike the rest of the Jedi Order, who kept teaching Anakin to suppress his feelings and emotions, Qui-Gon could have taught him to better control and work with them.

I don't think Anakin would have turned of Qui-Gon had lived.

Only cuz Qui knew it was his fault he got trained in the first place😂

It was both imo. While Qui-Gon was right that Anakin could be redeemed, he never should of pushed Anakin's training on Obi-Wan personally I think the one who should of trained Anakin is ironically Dooku prior to his joining the Sith Order.

I would love to see a World Between Worlds alternate universe where Qui-Gon is there to raise and train Anakin. If certain crucial events still played out such as Anakin being a Shatterpoint himself, I believe it could be a good plot line. Having Qui-Gon be so dope feels like a waste, even though his fate was well-placed by George Lucas from the start.

As the chosen one Anakin of prophesied to bring balance to the Force. The prophecy never specified how he to do it or how he ended up doing it. The Jedi council thought he was going to be this Jedi super hero, and Darth Sidious thought he won by turning the chosen one in to his personal tool of destruction. Both sides thought wrong. 🤷🏿😂

I think Ahsoka believe Anakin deserves redemption but she thinks he is too far gone because she understands exactly how he felt the whole time, which can be seen in her own series. Only his true father, his true sister and his son believed he deserved redemption after all he did.

Ashoka tries to redeem Vader I. Rebels

Was it the will of the force for vader to strike down all those younglings during order 66.

What if Qui Gon spoke with Luke, encouraging him to redeem Vader?

I personally believe if Qui-Gon had not been killed Anakin would never turned to the dark side 🤷‍♂️

Obi wan had two opportunities to kill the guy and didn't do it

Because he believed in Anakin for who he is , not what he is. Anyone can be the chosen one but if you don't have faith and trust in that person then you'd rather be in the dark side yourself.

Well, if Yoda taught Luke tutumenis. Then maybe he could have killed Vader.

I think obi wan did the best he could with what he had. He may Not have been the father figure anakin needed but he was always a great friend that anakin could rely on.

Day 485 of asking for a part 3 of what if anakin was trained by qui gon

I think Qui-Gon was right to have faith that Anakin can be redeemed just like Luke, though like Luke he should more willing to hold Anakin accountable for his crimes and actions as Darth Vader.

Only QGJ understood bringing the force into balance meant no sith and no Jedi. Everything Palps said about the Jedi was true. Anakin was born for one purpose... Clean house.

From 3:35 to 4:05, words of surpassing wisdom! Remarkable video!

Anakin Should have left the jedi And left that Galaxy behind If he ever wanted to be truly free but His entire life, he was never free He went to master to master never really. Getting true freedom

As a Starwars fan this drives me mad....he should not have been turned back to the light....he did too much evil (younglings).

Obi wan failed anakin to prepare and succeed with luke

Well if all the pain and suffering caused by Vader's actions were the will of the force then maybe its time to stop looking at the Sith as the problem and maybe time to start looking at the force it's self. Maybe it's less a balancing force of life and more an Eldritch Horror. =P

Did Darth Vader hate QuiGon?

He was still wrong for putting anakin on obi wan. Against the entire Jedi order where everyone said no, obi wan said no. Openly disobeying, then having his dying wish be for him to take on anakin, selfish. There is no justifying the actions that came after

I still believe that Anakin is the chosen one, if just for the fact that he fathered Luke. Anakin, with all his numerous unforgivable sins.. still was able to produce a heir and deliver him to his master.. to rid the galaxy of the malevolent tyrant Palpatine...

Luke was technically a Jedi and also believed in Anakin so your title is wrong.

Keep in mind that Obi wan did his best with Anakin and one of the reasons why Anakin stayed in the light while being a Jedi.

I love Ani !

Well if Obi wan listened to will of the force and that's why didn't kill Anakin he shouldn't have let him burn.

ahem... Luke Skywalker... ahem

'Cause he was dead anyway

What if Obi wan killed Anakin and went to even darker path than Anakin?

I still think legends content was better. I still don't know how I feel about the chosen one stuff.

Well, Vader did destroy the sith... for a time

We just going to ignore that Luke a Jedi… redeemed him?

it didn't matter. Obi-Wan was a product of the Jed. so, it didn't matter who trained Anakin.

I guess Luke skywalker in the go trilogy doesn’t count?? Lmao

This is why I never liked Anakin as a character. Dude can eat Babies and still be forgiven.

First

second

Luke doesn't count? Nvm. 😅

I feel like the sith need a major overhauling cause this Stockholm syndrome shit isn’t believable

Rae was the chosen one. Anakin was a dead end.
