Obi-Wan: Anakin, Chancellor Palpatine is evil! Anakin: From my point of view, the Jedi are evil! Obi-Wan: Why would you say that? Anakin: Of all people, your own Master disobeyed the Jedi Council, causing his rejection to be a member. Qui-Gon saw the allegiance of the Council to the Republic, placing the favor of the people over the face of the Force itself. They define good as the common good rather than the will of the Force, using its power for the benefit of their supposed democracy which is in the eye of the beholder. Qui-Gon saw the way of the Force, he let its will guide him, and not the other way around. The Force is not balanced, and I was created to do that. Open your eyes, Obi-Wan! It's time for you to see the truth behind the lies, as your old master did. Together, we can overthrow the Chancellor, and bring peace and justice to the galaxy. Obi-Wan: Anakin, perhaps you are right. While I don't agree with the Chancellor on everything, I do believe that the Jedi have twisted the Force to their own will. The Old Republic never used the Force in such a way.

The one problem I have with your assessment is that at his physical prime. Jinn was second only to Yoda in mastery of Ataru, saying he's less skilled than other master's is incorrect. He's more skilled because he surpassed the shortcomings of his chosen mastery through growth. Unlike Yoda that could just Force power through his age weakness.
@SingleTax Жыл бұрын
In Revenge of the Sith, Ob-Wan was clearly in his physical prime. Yet Yoda, despite being *hundreds* of years older, still insisted that he -- not Obi-Wan -- was the only one "strong" enough to battle Darth Sidious -- arguably the most powerful Sith Lord in the history of the galaxy. And Obi-Wan didn't argue, because he knew Yoda was right. So it would seem the definition of the term "prime" is questionable insofar as it applies to Jedi masters.
@LoremonX Жыл бұрын
@@SingleTax A Jedi gains strength in the Force through study, meditation and practice. The point when Humans are at their physical prime lies fairly early in our life cycle when medical care has extended life span into the numbers of our time. In Star Wars their medicine extends that even further. Anyone that is 70+ years old has far more study and practice behind them than they did at their physical peak of 30ish. They may tire quicker and not meet the same level of physical strength, but they can be far more powerful in the Force. Now Yoda lived to 900 years old. There was no Light Side user as powerful as Yoda at that level. Obi-Wan could have withstood anything Darth Sidious tried with a Lightsaber, but the second he put it away and showed his true power. Kenobi would have been wrecked. Even if he got his lightsaber in the lightnings path. The sheer power would have slammed him against the wall and destroyed him. He had no idea how to accept the darkness and redirect it back the way Windu, or Yoda did. Even Yoda got tossed because he didn't have a saber to channel the energy.
@geoffreyedgson787510 ай бұрын
Not entirely. Yoda is THE master of Ataru, and holds practical mastery of Soresu and Shien, plus an academic master of all other Jedi style. Qui-gon is an innovator who created his own-style, which in practice is extremely practical and shares one weakness with Niman: capable of anything with few consistent advantages. Jinn is moderately good at blaster-deflecting, moderately good at crowd-fighting, and is otherwise grounded and strength-oriented, in practice similar to a Niman master who favours Shii-Cho, Shien and Djem So. His foundations in Ataru and wide technical repertoire are impressive, plus in practical application he is leagues ahead of other traditional Ataru purists like Ven Zallow or Siri Tachi. On the other hand, he has no back-ups and attempts to leverage his advantages to overshadow his short-comings, instead of adapting his own style to be less taxing, or learning pure Makashi or Soresu as fall-backs to his own style. Plus, Qui-Gon lacks the wider tactical awareness of Master-Kenobi, Plo Kon or Shaak Ti, nor does he exercise combative Force-powers in their league either. Hence why I agree with Evannova95's assessment of Jinn as mid/high council Master, but overshadowed by the Tier 2 and Tier 1 leagues

I see Qui-Gon Jinn’s move set being most akin to Ki-Adi Mundi’s style. With that being said, since Ki-Adi was the only Jedi left standing against Grievous on Hypori (this is pre-Force crushed leading to hacking cough Grievous), and with Qui-Gon’s live in the moment philosophy, then I see Qui-Gon being able to stand against Grievous for a short amount of time. I do not see Qui-Gon lacking in defence, it’s just that the only times we see him actively defending is when he has already spent much of his energy. On Naboo he had kept up a solid offence pushing (or being drawn by) Darth Maul throughout much of the Battle of Naboo (at least 10 minutes movie time and an unknown length of time within the events themselves) and on Tatooine he had appeared to have sprinted from Mos Espa to the Outskirts where the Royal starship waited, a feat that young Anakin Skywalker struggled to maintain as he began to tire. Add to that the quick reflexes he employed as Maul snuck up on them and how tired Jinn must have been already, he kept up a decent defence against the much younger Sith. The question as to whether Qui-Gon could actually beat Grievous should come down to the context leading up to the fight. Qui-Gon is no fool and would likely have at least studied his opponent before engaging him, likely hearing a personal account of the General’s fighting capabilities from his friend Ki-Adi Mundi. With that knowledge and coming into the fight fresh, he would actually keep up a defensive screen by way of Form III. Soresu is not his preferred style but it is a style he knows as all Jedi receive basic training in almost all lightsaber Forms. And if he employs elements of his former Master’s style, then he could slip in the precise moves of Form II to strike at Grievous’ limbs. Another defensive style that Jinn has demonstrated in TPM is Shien, shown by his ability to precisely redirect blaster bolts back at shooters. Given that Shien is geared to dealing with multiple attackers, the question is whether it is as capable of defending against Grievous’ four lightsabers as Kenobi’s use of Soresu was. Again I must refer to Ki-Adi Mundi, since in the comic series Outlander I believe it is implied that had Qui-Gon Jinn still been alive, he would have been the one sent to find Sharad Hett on Tatooine not Ki-Adi Mundi. And if (a decade older) Mundi can stand against General Grievous then surely Qui-Gon Jinn as he appears in TPM can, right? Maybe. But the difference between Jinn and Mundi is their preference for supplementing Ataru with Shien and Soresu respectively. Mundi is able to defend against the rapid strikes of Grievous thanks to his use Soresu close quarter defence. So, after all that my conclusion is the same as the video’s but it would not be an easy victory for General Grievous.
@dazdavis78962 ай бұрын
Maul is superior to Grievous. Without debate. Qui-Gon could hang with Grievous far more than “a short time”.. He met Maul head on until he tired out. Maul was the superior swordsman yes, but he still hung with him the entire time. Grievous would not be able to overwhelm him in the same way Maul did. Maul was Grievous’s superior. There is no large gap between Jinn and Grievous. Idk why he seems to insinuate there is either.

Seeing as it was the first movie in a new prequel trilogy, you just kind of had an idea he was going to be a major protagonist for atleast more than half a film. But In hindsight it had be that way. They needed to introduce the character makes us feel a genuine connection to him, them "move him to the side" in order to bring in the dynamic of Obi-Wan and Anakin so the story could go where it needed to in order to have it all make sense and a cohesive story up to A New Hope. Qui-Gon was awesome though especially the way he never feared questioning things or seeking out what he felt to be the right path he needed to go down, despite what other council members may have thought. Bit to much of an "Out There Hippy" as far as council thought lol!!

Qui-Gon vs Grevious I don't necessarily believe Qui-Gon would loose. Grevious is obviously known to flee battles. He'd probably take advantage of that since Qui-Gon doesn't moves as fast. Also, the clones showing up on Utapou would tempt Grevious to do just that as he often does. That massive force push Kenobi did...well since it seems Qui-Gon is better with the force than saber combat and being an out the box thinker as you describe he would probably force push him, just like Kenobi, but into the open space below where he would be stunned, dropping his lightsabers, and surrounded by the clone army where they blast him then and there. After all, that's why the clones were there in the first place. Qui-Gon may not win, but he wouldn't lose either. It's not like saber duels always have to end the same way. Armies are in fact a resource to use.

Jinn was the quintessential Jack of All Trades, but he was also GREAT at all trades...great not exactly meaning exceptional. He took a holistic approach to his time as a Jedi. Consider this; his death warranted the attendance of Mace Windu AND Yoda. Among that, his kindness and compassion were surpassed by none. Put Yoda, or Mace in the same position as him on Tatooine, and they would have only rescued Anakin. Jinn, even though he was shut down immediately (and he was wise enough not to pursue) DID try to get Shmi as well.

I honestly think that Qui-Gon Jinn is one of the most underrated jedi of all time. I would definitely put him right behind Mace Windu. I'd also easily take him over Anakin or Obi Wan in a fight, but then again, I would also argue Darth Maul as being more powerful than any of the opponents in the first 3 films, except Sidious (perhaps). From what we saw on screen anyway, that's the way I have to view it. Also, I feel like both the sith and the jedi do not use the force enough in the movies. I actually think it should be a point for Darth Vader, because he's limited by his machinery which should make it even more impressive that he can, but instead, we really see a lot more lightsaber twirling than force using. Yoda really seemed to be the only one in the movies to use the force correctly in multiple ways, throwing objects, catching lightning, and augmenting his actual speed to make up for his tiny size. Everyone else just seems like they would get slaughtered by a good force user, even though they are very skilled at using lightsabers. I would be cool with it for a guy like Windu, but the vast majority of jedi should be using the force during combat more regularly. It just looks like they don't even train to be using or fighting opponents with the force, which is weird because that is the entire point of being a jedi.

If it wasn't for Jin, if you actually pay attention, The prophecy would have never been fulfilled. He's more powerful than most give credit. He literally was offered Grand Master and refused; let that sink in.

I don't agree with the assessments. Dooku and Yoda were older, yet they are not constantly put down. Jinn uses the Force he is not trying out for a triathalon. We are basing a fight for Qui Gon against Greivous in Revenge of the Sith. Please tell me how many changes, training, and adaptations did Obi Wan go through throughout the Clone Wars? It is like you give Greivous and others the advantage since they experienced combat and war, yet you throw Jinn in to the scenario fresh from Naboo??? Jinn does not learn or study his opponents??

William Henning I agree, Zannah wouldn't even draw her blade, she would just attack him mentally and cripple him that way. I don't think many Verses series creators really understand how her sorcery works. They always say "this person is a Jedi, so they have gotten past their fears, so Zannahs spells of madness would have no effect of them" and I find that so annoying. Bane was fully aware that Zannah would use her madness spell against him, and he had heavily researched how to deal with it, and he had gotten past all of his fears, channelling them into his dark side power. And despite this, when Zannah used to against him in their final duel, she bought him SCREAMING to his knees. And when she using to against Set Harth, she put him in a COMA. This isn't something anyone can just shrug off. Her base line powers are also very underrated. He force push smashed Bane into a wall so hard it cracked his back, despite the fact that Bane has welled up his power, and reacted in time to channel it into a force wall. And her own force wall was incredible. Despite the fact bane didn't have his lightsaber, in their second to last duel, he only used evasion and lightning against Zannah, stating himself that telekinetic attacks would be useless because she could throw up force walls, and even outright stated that the ability to throw up a force defence was the first thing he had taught her. With a lightsaber, when she was about apprentice level in terms of training (Rule of Two), she was able to stone wall the assaults of a low level knight and a high level knight at the same time. And by her prime (Dynasty of Evil) she held up a strong defence against a raging Bane trying to kill her for almost the entirety of the duel, incredible considering how masterful and overwhelming a swordsman Bane was. And for those who say she has no offence, literally the first thing she did when she got her lightsaber was practice a counter-attack sequence with Bane, and she was EASILY able to overwhelm Set Harth (about mid Jedi knight level) with pure offence in their brief duel. Bane considered her his equal, and Bane is very overconfident in his own abilities, having nearly gotten himself killed as a result throughout the trilogy multiple times by getting in over his head with a lack of judgement regarding his own power level. Bane considers himself almighty, but admits that Zannah is his equal. Nuff said.

Hey EvanNova95, u should do a Star Wars: How Powerful Was Revan? since many sources claim the Prodigal Knight was unique amongst both the Jedi and the Sith due to his mastery of both light and dark side of the Force, and while his lightsaber combat was described as being a generalist rather than specialist he was able outfight the Echani warriors who could anticipate their opponent's movements. And unlike most Jedi and Sith, he had timing knowing which Form to use and once an enemy's weakness was exposed, he would strike.

I dunno why there aren't more videos on him as a character.

+William Henning I def agree and support that. Should we include Jerec and Darth Malak in there as well while we are at it?
@wolfgod64436 жыл бұрын
Rob George Malak and Jarec are probably a bit lower tier. Malak is a great duelist and both are strong in the force, but the magnitude of Dooku and Malgus's abilities are too great, plus both far exceed Malak/Jarec in lightsaber combat. I'll have to admit, despite how much I love Malak, he's one of the weakest Sith in the lore (not counting "sith" like dark acolytes during the Old Republic, I mean true sith lords). He's still incredibly powerful, and certainly better than dark jedi like Ventress or even Jarec (at least without his Valley of the Jedi buff), but he's falling behind slightly in both skill and the magnitude of his powers compared to other sith. He is a well balanced fighter though, and one of KOTOR's developers said Malak was more skilled than Revan in lightsaber combat, but in saying that it also proves that Malak isn't as smart a fighter as Revan, so he doesn't really have an advantage over most other sith.
@robgeorge45816 жыл бұрын
+Wolfgod 64 Sorry about the late reply. While I do agree overall that Jerec is a inferior duelist when compared to the likes of Dooku and Malgus, in terms of force abilities he isn't far off in terms of variety of techniques and overall skill (his power is tricky due to The Valley amp being usually a present factor). Depending on the matchup, Jerec's force abilities gives him some hax to work with, and hax can make up power or skill differences. As for Malak, I don't think he's actually far off in terms of skill or magnitude compared to Dooku or Malgus. Malak's problem is that his entire skillset is based on him directly leveraging his power which as you said means he isn't that smart as a fighter as someone like Revan causing Malak to come up short in the overall package against fighters who are overall in his league. Either way, he gives these kinds of opponents one hell of a fight.
@wolfgod64436 жыл бұрын
Yeah I think I discredited Jarec a bit, he's probably the closest thing to a sith among dark jedi. That in of itself is impressive. I often attribute his more unique abilities as "Early EU when no one really knew the rules or standards", but it was explained at some point that Jarec developed his own abilities specifically to beat Sidious (best of luck to him, that'll never work). So what Jarec does makes sense...sort of. I think Malak doesn't have the right skill set to handle most other sith. Warriors like Revan and Maul are smarter and faster than him, and Dooku and Malgus have the full package of skill and strong force abilities (Revan fits in the latter after KOTOR 1 though). Malak feels very much like a Jedi killer specifically. He's better at using his combat experience and force abilities to dominate weaker opponents, even large groups of them (hence his powerful force stuns and wide lighting strikes). I'd argue that Malak is more capable than other sith when it comes to defeating multiple Jedi, so he'd be more effective in say, defeating Obi-Wan and Qui gon (though now I want to see a Malak vs. Qui Gon matchup), but he doesn't have the right skills to deal with singular foes who are on his level like Maul or Malgus (I think his goal was to become so strong that no one would be on his level so he doesn't need to worry about it, but he didn't reach that level).
