Didn't George Lucas even state that Qui Gon could have stopped Anakin turning to the dark side?

[@redtreeman7814]

Yeah George Lucas in an interview said point blank if Qui Gon had lived Anakin would never have turned.

[@Dragone38CM]

That was the point of the duel of fates. Qui Gon dying was the turning point. It changed Anakins Fate.

[@whovianjc4342]

It’s mainly for one reason if qui gon lives he becomes more of a father figure for anakin as opposed to palpatine becoming the father figure with obi wan as his brother

[@stv176]

Acording to Tales of the Jedi, also Dooku turned to the dark side after Qui Gon died.

I like how there's a parallel to Return of the Jedi, where Dooku gets redemption at the hands of his metaphorical son during his last battle, but the son is the only one to witness the redemption and carry on their legacy.

"Dooku's plans"? Didn't Dooku only leave the order and turn to the darkside after Qui-Gon's death? Why would he join Sideous if his favourite apprentis survived.

[@DeathsHead1]

Dooku had already started down the path. He had killed Sifi Dyas and was working with Palpatine by that point.

[@artcory6224]

I think it wouldn't stop his way, Dooku doesn't look like mad man, he obviously went to the dark path to discover new abilities, at leadt it was one of the reasons

2:07 Well it seems Obi-Wan quickly learned how to turn into a force ghost, as he is already seen behind Qui-Gon here :P

[@clarity2199]

There's a minor problem with this. No way would Palpatine go this long without an apprentice. And since he could simply go back to Dathomir to pick up another apprentice where he originally got Maul from anytime he wanted, he would have easily had another Sith doing assassin dirty work for him. In fact, he may have picked up Asajj Ventress. In the original story line, she would have become quite powerful if Sidious didn't make Dooku kill her. So, if she was his apprentice, by this time her power would have been great. A shame you didn't integrate that. But no way would he be slinking around doing all this himself when he's part of the Senate. He definitely would have found someone to do these assassin parts for him.

[@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis]

At a minimum, he would have used bounty hunters against people who weren’t too strong to need a Force-wielder to handle.

[@einpioneer4677]

Palpatine needed a politician who was sith to play the role of the CIS leader so the jedi order think that the CIS is the new dark sith faction and they enter the war.

[@ajsingh5794]

Not to dismiss your argument about Asajj Ventress being the next apprentice of the Sith. But Sidious needed someone who can lure politicians and other forces to the cause willingly unfortunately Asajj wouldn’t be good for that because if Sidious would take her in place, Ventress was not good around politics. She would rather use force and bring fear than persuasion. She can use fear to keep the Trade Federation in line however her actions would cause the politicians react against Sidious and they would threaten to spread leaks and cause to damage to Sidious’s plans if Asajj was not respecting them. As he tries to straighten her out, she would get more enraged within the dark side and her actions would cause the Separatists and politicians to break off and expose his plans to the Senate. Sidious could bring other bounty hunters (mostly Cad Bane) who have experience with working for Separatists to keep her in check. Still Asajj doesn’t play well with others and hates being in check. She would feel that she’s not trustworthy and that she’s not worthy of the Sith and she would destroy Sidious’s plans and expose Sidious before the war could begin. That would make her a liability and Sidious would have to kill her. However she can escape him by going to her home planet of Dathomir and he can’t go after her because he’s terrified of that world and of Mother Talzin. As fantastic as Asajj Ventress is, Sidious wouldn’t bring her as his apprentice because she will be another problem that he can’t handle and she’ll take everything away from Sidious within a snap 🫰. Admittedly Sidious could instead ask Mother Tanzin for another Maul (Savage Oppress) in case if he couldn’t get Asajj but he would not be cunning or intriguing as Sidious would expect. Hence why he would not find anyone close or better than Count Dooku. But I do think that Asajj would be a greater Sith if Sidious took time with her. However we all know how stubborn he is and he won’t care about sharing his time to his apprentices but that’s my opinion.

In Palpatine going down in history as a martyr for the Republic and Anakin taking the horrid truth to his grave, I also note echoes of a Father Brown story where Father Brown decides that he and Flambeau will take the horrid truth about a supposed hero (actually a villain long since brought to justice on another continent) to their graves because the legend about him will inspire people to be better than they might have been, and none of the monuments carry any wrongful blame against any innocent party (wrongful blame would have required publicizing the truth).

Great video and I always though had Qui-Gon had survived and lived to train Anakin himself, events would have gone completely differently as Anakin would have an entirely different type of Jedi, much less susceptible to corruption or Sidious influence.

Quite a good story! Although, I think at that point Qui-Gon and Dooku would be too much for Sidious. Dooku alone was already near his level, adding in another Master who would have many years of working with Dooku? I don't think Sidious could beat them. I think he'd have to flee.

[@shughan666]

I agree with this. Sidious could barely edge out Yoda in a 1v1; a 2v1 against Dooku and Qui Gon would be beyond his abilities.

[@dreadrath]

There is some truth to this. While Dooku by himself would probably lose to Sidious at this point, it'd still be a fairly close duel, but add Qui-Gon, as well as the teamwork he and Dooku would have built up in their past as master and apprentice, there's a moderate chance they could match Sidious since this Sidious isn't nearly as powerful as he'd become later. There's some supporting evidence in that Darth Plagueis believed that Dooku alone would, around this time, give Sidious some trouble. However there is one bit of evidence against them beating Sidious here and that that after killing Plagueis, which I think by this point Sidious had done recently, he got a power buff from having killed Plagueis. Its a tough call if they'd win.

[@gothic574]

I allways thought to myself, the light side of the force wanted Ankin to be trained by Quigon because of his unique fewings on the Jedi, in order for the Porphasy to become reality. The ONLY reason this did not happen in the original story was the emens power of Darth Sidius manipulating the battle of fates even over this emence distance. I strongly belive to this day even if Sidius could have keep Darth Tyrannos, he would have faild in his long plan.

I really like this video, you obviously put a lot of work and effort into it. And I agree with almost all the changes you put forward. One small observation though, you mentioned, Aniken was as strong as any Jedi master specifically, with a light sabre during the events of Camino, however, as powerful as Anakin is, and while I do believe he would unlock more of his potential under Qui-gon, I think light sabre skills are the one area where Obi-Wan might have had a small advantage over his master, so combined with the fact, Anakin would not have fought in the clone wars yet to truly test himself, I don’t think he should have that much prestige at this point.

[@Rabijeel]

Nice Plot. But we need Palpatine doin Trakata to instokill Dooku off and blind QiGon. This causes QiGon and the Council to shiver in fear fro the return of the Sith, let them Act more agressiveley, turning them one after another - and Anakin, the trained "Saviour" has to cut down one of his former Friends and Idols after another, lives through one betrayal after another until in the end QiGon and Yoda are standing oppsed to him, beeing insane through the hits. Yoda only sees Anakin as Darth Vader and insists he muct be dealt with immediatly and QiGon, the General of the Sith Hunt, turns against an innnocent Anakin. In the End, it is only a broken Anakin, in the Ruins of that Temple - unable to mopve on as all is lost. That Moment, the Council Member that always was his backbone, Padme, comes along and gives him a hug - and offers help by showing someone who had learned to deal from such loss and rise - the Chancellor, who was betrayed by the Council the same as Anakin. Anakin turns dark, become Lord Vader - kills Padme for the Betrayal as she was all the Years just a Pawn of Palpatine, meant to lure him in. Yet, he has to become more Powerful to be able to kill Palpatine. And his Kids with Padme noone knew of will be the Weapon that strikes him down. Yet, that goes sideways, as Luke refuse the dark side and Vader has to kill his own Son - which grants him the Pain, the Paower to kill Palpatine. After all of it, Vader sighs from relief and Pain of the last loss, the loss of his Ambition to win leaving him, strip him from his Power but also the grip of the Dark side. There is only one Bit in the Force disturbing the natural Balance: Him. And even though he lost his Ambition and thus all Power, one last Sacrifice has to be made. So, Anakin stands on that Bride, his Helmet mosten partly by the Trakata-Attacks of Sidious - looking oout on Corouscant. He programms the course of the Super Star Destroyer that turns onto the Planet, right where Temple and Senate are - and engages the Engines while his Lightsaber in his own Hand pierces his Heart. One last Sacrifice - then, there will be Balance again.

Obi wan wasn't a bad master, he was just way too young to train a padawan. He never even passed the trials to become a Knight. Qui Gonn would have been a better master for Anakin. He was older and more experienced, and didn't just blindly follow the jedi code without question

[@simpsonsquire1997]

This would have definitely made me extremely sad if it actually happened. In my honest opinion, one thing that really got under my skin regarding The Phantom Menace was how they sidelined Obi-Wan Kenobi up until the end of the film where he defeats Maul and takes Anakin under his wing. The dude didn't even get his own personal poem TV spot the way Shmi, Anakin, Qui-Gon, Padme, and even Darth Maul (DARTH MAUL! The one with the least amount of screentime) did. And I'm still sour about Padme's retort to Obi-Wan about not failing to get the viceroy. In short, it's bad enough that Kenobi got left on the side most of TPM, but it hurts even more to imagine if this what-if had its the final say in the canon. Okay, venting done. I'll see myself out.

Nothing changes. Anyone can be the Chosen One by nature of the Force choosing someone. Anakin is special because as far as we know he’s the only being to have been created by the Force solely to serve as it’s Chosen One. And that’s gonna happen regardless of if the Jedi have a prophecy of him. Especially if we use the theory that he’s a creation of Darth Plagueis. The Sith would be unaffected with or without a prophecy. Qui-Gon’s still gonna recognize Anakin as a creation of the Force. Present knowledge of him and the Sith to the Council. Die. Only for Obi-Wan to it. Everything plays out as normal

Imagine you’re sword fighting a terrorist in a military science lab, and then he takes off his hood and it’s Joe Biden. Wild

[@aratakasuga4095]

And in the middle of the battle, after the exhausting task of removing his hood, Sleepy Sidious suddenly slumbered then there to their confusion and relief.

I feel like Anakin and Qui Gon could have become a formidable partnership. I also feel like they would have been involved in creating a new more balanced Jedi Order as Qui Gon already had reservations/was his own person, and this would have nurtured a balanced understanding Anakin as opposed to Obi Wan/the council smothering Anakin

[@KepaniGrayson]

Always wondered what would happen if Qui Gon had survived. Love Obi-Wan, but I can't help thinking Qui Gon would have understood Anakin better.

[@Randomguy-ql1bi]

What if Mace Windu was sent to Naboo with Qui Gon Jin instead of Obi Wan

[@hoopz66]

Maul easily dies and Qui-gon trains anakin.

[@kekwokeson6499]

This was clearly written by someone who doesn’t understand Qui-Gon at all. Using anger to fuel his power against Maul? Wanting to ‘snap’ a retort at Windu out of spite? No. He was a Jedi Consular. A role for which he trained 50 years. These ideas are so far removed from his character, it would be like seeing Obi-Wan punt a youngling out a window.

[@hexPixelStarships]

Obiwan is half brother, half father for Anakin Qui-Gon is 100% a father.

[@bartololucido4754]

Nice story more 😊

What if I was the true coosen won and destroyed the galaxy

[@ScooterinAB]

I don't buy Palpatine getting into a multiple-opponent lightsaber battle and not have his identity discovered. The reason the Jedi never found out is because they'd never seen him. There is just no way Qui Gon wouldn't have seen his face, but there is also no way that Dooku couldn't have shouted his name. No matter how fast Palpatine may be, he wouldn't be able to keep Dooku occupied and silent for more than a few moments. Luke was able to call out to Vader while he was being electrocuted, and Palpatine was able to speak when he electrocuted himself.

[@igorgorczynski6339]

I see only one great problem: Republic couldnt destroy separatist without jedi and Palpatine stoping separatist from winning. Even innone of canonic books (dont remember wich) it was said that separatist were using only about 60% of their power from what they could spend on war without destroying their trade. And I know that republic wasnt operating on their full potential but without Palpatine and his plan it would be impossible to raise military production without a mass riots across the republic. Other thing is that without palpatine clone army would be much smaller at start of the war and it takes couple years to "make" and train one clone and about 1 month to produce and deploy on field one droid.

darth plagueis was alive till the point Palpetine got promoted to supreme chancellor. He wasnt alone.. he had a Master. So while a cool Video, it could not fully play out like that i think.

[@MisterRorschach90]

The thing is qui gon greatly respected his master. Also the loss of his student while holding fast to the Jedi way would cause him to waiver. Maybe not immediately, but small things would add up over time because the Jedi are not blameless. He would’ve trained anakin very differently. And it’s very possible that dooku could’ve turned him to the dark side, making anakin have to fight and possibly kill his own master, yet again. This drastic change from a care free master that wasn’t bogged down by the codes and bylaws, to a new master who is hardcore might lead anakin to seek power from the chancellor, and if the chancellor was ever in any danger of anakin switching sides from him, he’d just dangle dooku in front of him. Here’s the man who turned your master, the man you saw as a father, the man who forced you to have to kill your own master. Blinded by rage and fear of loosing padme, this is enough to satiate him. However there’s no obi wan fight so padme doesn’t follow and anakin doesn’t force choke her. And since there’s no set up for anakin to kill padme, sidious has to set things up somehow for her to die. Only for anakin to learn of this because of his hardcore rule following master. This leads anakin to turn against the chancellor.

[@markbryant8542]

Obi-Wan's existence was problematic...got it

[@ragingsmit9784]

This is one of the theories that I dislike. Dooky only had to say 1 whole world 'Palpatine', the plot armor would have been so stupid that it would just be a shitty story

[@jgamer516]

hey i was just waiting for u to make this vid

[@danielharman572]

Cool story I enjoyed it alot. One possibility would be having obi-wan kanobi be wounded not killed. Kind regards from Daniel Harman.

[@swgraphics9059]

Anakin would have been upset that Obi Wan was killed by Maul.

[@larrypass6720]

I'm pretty sure that Halle Burtoni didn't become a senator until sometime after the Clone Wars began.

[@LeviBritt24]

Anakin would be way stronger because Dooku is dead so Anakin would not have his arm cut off
