Was Qui Gon Jinn More Powerful Than Mace Windu? - Star Wars Explained

Would Qui Gon Jinn win in a fight, or a better question, was he more powerful, than Mace Windu?
Two of the most underrated characters in the movies, who unnfortunately didn’t get as much screen time as we’d have liked, would ultimately make for a great conversation in regards to who was the stronger Jedi and duelist.
I’ll first start by explaining the character back stories of both, diving into their unique force powers, and then coming to a final and realistic conclusion to this answer.

It's a shame we only see Qui Gon in Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace with Darth Maul and Emperor Palpatine, but his story lives on in the Star Wars EU, books, and comics. I really like the comics, and encourage you to check them out at the book store or library when you're bored on a day off.
Let me know who you think would win. I really appreciate all of your support, thanks so much for watching guys, I'll see you in tomorrow's episode of Star Wars Theory. Take care and MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!!!

[@shaunrosenberg4568]

Mace is more powerful. He is an underrated character. Remember George Lucas himself said he beat Sidious fair and square.

[@Vazcular]

Shaun Rosenberg The novelization sure as hell didn't and that was full canon until the Disney buyout.

[@tonp2917]

Show us the link to that explanation from Lucas. Palpatine showed Mace Windu all corners until he knew Anakin was coming. What defeated person would have such a remaining strength to use this powerfull force lightning and push Mace Windu dozens of meters outside the building. I like Mace Windu, he should have had more action in the movies but he was no match for Palpatine.

[@King-Hrolf]

Ton Postma revenge of the sith commentary is where Lucas mentions Mace overpowering Palpatine.

[@keithwoods1103]

Mace would win. He was simply more powerful. Remember, George Lucas said that Mace defeated Sidious. It wasn't a "fake fight", as the maker of this film implied.

[@BoogerLeader]

Lucas already stated that Mace won that match, no need for theories or scene dissections.

[@Mentallect]

Exactly, and the author keeps bringing up the fake theory Sidious threw the fight. That is very idiotic. A sith lord putting himself at the mercy of a Anakin who had just betrayed him to the Jedi Order, and who might just as easily allowed Windu to kill him? Nonsensical. Windu defeated Sidious.

[@LutaLivre113]

[@kerryr.8111]

@ Dirty Harry Mace won.... even Lucas confirmed it himself on the DVD and its in the novelization ... he (Mace) used Vaapad which used the dark force against its opponent... the more Sidious channeled the dark side, the more of the upper hand Mace got...

[@janmantsch6675]

I think sidious underastemated Mace and was confused that mace got stronger diuring their fight i think the Balance of Power was like this 1. Mace=Sidious evidence both are testing their streghts 2.

[@joeman543]

a skill that's only useful once you die. Another reason for Mace to WINdu

[@BigBugMania1]

I think Qui Gon was a more powerful Jedi in the sense that he understood the force better than Windu. He was able to keep his spirit and mind together even after death and manifest himself in the force, something that was considered impossible to most Jedi.

[@hardknocks5077]

So did Obi-Wan. Mace windu is probably the most gifted force user in Jedi history. Not only was he mastered in the light of the force but was so proficient in his mastery of the dark side he could use the enemy dark side force against them.. channeling both sides of the force he created his own fighting style. Vaapad. Using both sides of the force is why his saber is purple.. blue+red=purple mace was a different fighter and force user

I think mace would have won the lightsaber duel...But I think Qui Gon Jinn was more connected with the force and that's why he was the one able to find the way to immortality through the force and taught it to Yoda and Obi Wan as I think the movies implied. That makes Qui Gon Jinn more powerful in my mind :)

[@Bowfella]

Because he used practices the Jedi council deemed "Radical and extreme" when ironically he was the only one not bastardizing the force.

[@chezwarrior7425]

[@patrickkg2846]

Mace Windu was so gifted in the force and so powerful, that the jedi thought he was the chosen one (And that was when he was a Padawan. At this age he was more powerful than some MASTERS)

[@dragi2476]

I think qui gon would win cause when mace brats him and kills him he would be a force ghost and we see that yoda can do things in the real world while being a ghost in part eight 🙃 I hope you can understand me im still learning english :)

[@infoluminux]

I'm agree with you except for one thing: Palpatine didn't lose on purpose... Mace actually won... and if you have a doubt about it, then see the revenge of the sith novelization (which is canon) or hear George Lucas speech which confirms this. Basically Mace won thanks to Vaapad, which uses the dark emotions (like anger, despair, and so on) to empower the user. Mace got ultra powerfull during that fight, but the emotions didn't come from Sidious (who is aware of how Vaapad works and was able to supress his emotions), but from Anakin, who would make Windu stronger and stronger as he came closer to the fight. That's why Mace won, and it was a legitimate victory. However, Mace was so focused in killing Palpatine that his shatter point ability didn't show him Anakin's betrayal.

[@tonp2917]

It is the old story again and again. Show me the explanation of George Lucas saying Windu would have won. Books are from various writers, not really 100% having to do with the movies. If they like Mace Windu they say he would have won. Palpatine was waiting for Anakin, that was his plan, showing Anakin he might loose. Anakin needed Palpatine to save Padme from the death he saw in his dreams. What defeated man does have that much remaining power to force lightning Mace Windu and after that throwing him out of the window by dozens of meters.

[@AKSBSU]

+Ton Postma And Palpatine also melted his own face with his force lightning being reflected back at him on purpose? I'm not buying it. Palpatine was overall more powerful, but in that particular fight, Mace's style gave him enough of an edge to best him.

[@andrewma9682]

Why in the world would anyone trying to turn Anakin to the dark side with promises of more power fake a defeat to look weak and helpless?

[@ryanbutela3183]

Yeah he actually did let that happen on purpose. That was actually his true Sith form and used the "injuries" as an excuse to finally reveal it. It also prompted Anakin to see the old man in "despair". I remember reading somewhere that it was canon.

[@infoluminux]

Ryan Butela actually what I said it's highly stated in the official novelization... which it's canon.

[@hijodelmarineroII]

I like Qui-Gon but Mace would win all day.

[@captaincooool]

I agree but I think its because he's basically the greatest duelist in the modern U. This is just speculation by me but I think Qui-Gon was stronger in the force, he was the first to master becoming a force ghost and broke through and wound up teaching Yoda who in turn taught Obi.

Alex You're right. George Lucas did confirm that Mace Windu legitimately disarmed Darth Sidious, of his lightsaber, but Darth Sidious still was not defenseless.

Don't use age as a negative. For a Jedi (or even a force user in general), age is an advantage. As one ages, one's connection to the Force grows. This more than makes up for the physical effects of age.

[@Quinntree]

Age does effect them. From what I read and understand Qui-Gon knew he couldn’t keep up with Maul as his stamina was simply running out. Yes the force kept him going but I’m the end he was getting tired and this concerned him during the fight with Darth Maul.

[@josefha6933]

it strengthens the connection the force but your body gets weaker. this is why yoda lost to sidious. after force valor run out he was to weak to continue

For Qui Gon, he should have used Form 1 or 3 when he grew older, in order to not become tired from his Ataru fighting style.

[@geekyradical4985]

rsbandbj1 Mace Windu's use of Shatterpoint would be too vague and inconsistent to be a game-changer, as he has rarely made use of it to great effect, in combat, with the exception of his duel with Darth Sidious, which is irrelevant, because he had a very circumstantial speed/power amp, at the time.

[@charthezombiehound8952]

not how shatterpoint works, shatterpoint is the ability to perceive weaknesses in objects events or opponents, the ability to injure a target by exploiting its shatterpoints was called force breach, and just because one can see shatterpoints does not mean one can use force breach. Windu was never shown to use force breach, only see shatterpoins. EDIT: also vapaad is close to useless against light side opponets Meli, the reason vapaad is so op is that it can use an opponents rage agaisnt themselves, which would not happen against a light side opponent, no, his best bet would be to use soresu and let Qui- Gon tire himself out, then kill him

[@lendial]

Mace is basically the best anti sith jedi duelist other than yoda.

[@shipey188]

lendial possibly better than yoda, actually

[@jorionrange8336]

He was better than Yoda! Vapaad was specifically designed to make the user stronger based on how dark their opponent was. Yes, Yoda could fuck a hoe up with Ataru, he was could only go for a limited time. Sidious knew this and kept his distance their entire fight because of this. Once Yoda realized he was tired, he retreated knowing Sidious was about to murder him. Vapaad, is designed to redirect the energy of the person Mace is fighting so he never has to use his own.

[@kyleflanagan963]

The consensus seems to be definite that Mace Windu is more powerful and would win... ...I think that the fight is closer than people assume. 1) Darth Maul was an insanely skilled swordsman. The Clone Wars cartoon shows him holding off Palps for a short while, and he was trained from birth to be the ultimate warrior. I would argue that Maul was near or equal to Mace Windu in terms of lightsaber skills. Despite this, Qui-gon still held his own for quite a while. 2) Qui-Gon's style of choice was severely limited in the area where he and Maul were fighting, preventing a lot of the wide-acrobatics that make form 4 as deadly as it is. 3) Although Mace Windu did beat Palpatine fair and square, his Vaapad gave him advantages that other Jedi would not. Essentially he was a water type going up against a fire type. 4) We never got to directly see Qui-Gon in his prime. He was older and clearly didn't have the stamina to fight long term by the time he dueled Maul. Honestly, I think that Qui-Gon, Mace Windu, and Count Dooku are all around the same level as each other. In their respective prime capacities, and duels between the three could go any way. But in the end, I think that Windu had the edge in Lightsaber combat, while Qui-Gon had a stronger understanding of the Force. So while Qui-Gon was the better Jedi, Windu was the better warrior. But, that's just me.

I understand you wanted to compare them on each point, but I was listening to your analyse will doing something else and, without my entire attention (and your visual aids), I had difficulty knowing which one you were talking about. It's going back and forth between each Jedi that confused me. Your video is still very good and I enjoy your channel a lot.

[@sirgrunt99]

After listing to this I would go with Mace Windu

[@therookie1120]

I think makes form 7 would eventually break thourgh his defense

[@therookie1120]

I mean mace

[@stevenbari5568]

It really pisses me off when people say Palpatine threw the fight meaning Mace didn’t really win. Lucas specifically stated Mace won fair and square. It does real damage to the integrity of the franchise(Disney did that many times over) to make a mock lightsaber duel

[@pvhep4036]

Both are one of my fav Jedi's! Along with Yoda and Kao Cen Darach!

[@raghuvarv]

I agree that Jinn is underrated (criminally so in fact) but how in the hell is Windu underrated? If anything, he's overrated. That being said, Windu would win in a fight without a doubt. I don't see what Jinn is bringing to the table that would allow him to even match leave alone beat Windu.

[@ronnymaccaroni]

Well Qui Gon would have brought meditation and preparation. Those two can mean alot

[@gabrielcarrasco8414]

Windu would win fairly easily. But Qui Gon's knowledge of the force may have surpassed most during his era.

[@raghuvarv]

Gabriel Carrasco This is true. Even though he was labelled a Grey Jedi by many due to his disagreements with the High Council, he was actually a better Jedi than most during his era. He may not have been as powerful as Yoda and Windu but he was, in my opinion, a better Jedi.

[@windex780]

Could you make a video about what if greivous was force sensitive. Like if u agree.

[@danielcooke3800]

If they change everything about Star Wars now I won't follow the franchise... And I'll tell everyone I know to stop following it...Because Disney Star Wars Sux!!! And I think Star Wars movies should only b made by George Lucas.

[@JonnyLin7]

Qui Gon is underrated because he lost to Darth Maul, but he only lost to Maul due to many circumstances going against him. He was old, aging and fighting an extended battle with Maul who had potentially the best stamina of any Jedi or Sith. The battle then shifted to close quarters, which put Qui Gon as a major disadvantage given his fighting style. Before the battle became close quarters, Qui Gon did seem to have the advantage against Maul, who himself was in his prime and incredibly powerful. It would have been awesome to see more of Qui Gon, he was my favorite character in episode 1.

[@cardonbluh2313]

I have to agree with your outcome, although Quigon Jin is my favorite jedi (with Kit Fisto a close second). Mace Windu is just such a powerful jedi when it comes to combat. I see Quigon Jin as more of a philosopher that explores the force than one who focusses on the militaristic side of it.

[@opelastragopc7402]

make a theory what if mace kill phalpatin before Anakin have chance to save him.

[@Randoman590]

Order 66 never goes through, the Separatists have no leadership with Sidious, Dooku and Grievous all dead, Republic wins the war, peaceful galaxy, Leia and Luke join the Jedi Order.

[@sobversion3]

might even keep Anakin on the side of the light, if not he'd die too lol

[@opelastragopc7402]

yes it might

[@Bowfella]

Literally roll the fucking credits. It was a mere couple minutes that sealed the fate of the galaxy.

[@princelevi3733]

can you do part 2 of what if mace windu fought Anakin Skywalker

[@aarondowd8197]

I'd love to hear more about Qui gon turning to the dark side.

[@Nekowhite93]

I LAUGHED when homie said "it's a toss up"

[@bretabastillas8091]

still on jinn but i agree mace might win. big fun of Qui gon jinn here

[@BrotherKevinHunter]

I think Qui-Gon would win due to his high-level of use of the Force and lack of dark side influence, otherwise Mace would win.

[@Alexander-dz3tf]

But Mace's use of Vapad was an advantage.

[@guru8104]

@@Alexander-dz3tf But Vaapad works in a different way, the user (Mace) would draw the dark side energy from the opponent (eg: Palpatine) and use it for his advantage, but Quigon is pure light side so it wouldn't be so effective like it did with Palpatine.

[@Alexander-dz3tf]

@@guru8104 And? The question isn't who would win in a duel, the question is who is more powerful, and while Qui Gon was wiser, he was certainly not more powerful.

[@guru8104]

@@Alexander-dz3tf I know that all i say is Vaapad can't be an advantage to Mace. He had to use some other form.

[@Alexander-dz3tf]

@@guru8104 Yes Vaapad is a power that Mace has yet not Qui Gon and therefore I conclude he is stronger. Mace isn't gonna be battling light side users, so your point holds no merit.

[@ThatGuy-vm4ju]

Nobody ever brings up what if Qui Gon threw the fight with Darth Maul so that he could become immortal with the force he was the first to become a spirit Ghost he trained Yoda how to use that form then Obi Wan learned from Yoda. We yet have to see Mace Windu as a spirit Ghost or any other Jedi. It was never explained how Darth Vader learned how to become a spirit Ghost by the time Yoda and Obi Wan learned that technique Vader was in the dark side so nobody with that knowledge could of teached him because only the Jedi Yoda and Obi Wan knew about it..

[@danielmcleod2378]

I want a video of Mace Windu vs Darth Maul, also Count Dooku vs Darth Maul

[@ronniejones1425]

Qui-Gon Jinn the most wise of all Jedis. he would out think Mace Windu. I love them both but my heart and final decision is Qui-Gon

[@danny2m12]

Same here. In episode 3 Yoda acknowledges Qui-Gon's accomplishments after his death. He taught Yoda how to become a force ghost. Now that is infinite knowledge , and knowledge is power.

[@ShameenYakubu]

Doesn't matter how wise he is. Mace Windu would kill him. Mace Windu is the best duelist in the Jedi Order no single Jedi or Sith could face him in single combat.

[@Twigpi]

Mace Windu may kill Qui-gon Jinn, but Qui-gon, being struck down, would come back more powerful then you could possibly imagine.

[@IndianaJoe0321]

@@ShameenYakubu without Vapaad & Shatterpoint, Windu would not beat Dooku. Would never happen.

[@ShameenYakubu]

@@IndianaJoe0321 So? Mace would still win. That's like saying without the Force Dooku wouldn't beat Obi-Wan. Doesn't matter. Fact is he would win.

Whats the background music from 0:00 - 2:20 ?????

[@SEXYGREEKSENSFAN]

what is the song you play at the end of your videos?

[@drewjoeworm]

Mace easily

[@joshcasticshow]

I think Mace Window will win because he is second in command of Jedi Council no amouture gets that spot.

[@lordaizen66]

qui gon was not on that councle because he was a thinker and did not conform

[@joshcasticshow]

lordaizen66, I know that but if he was on the council Mace Windo is still would have been second in command so that means he would is still better then Qui-Gon-Gen

[@alexolivera3151]

Can you do videos on all 7 combat forms

[@jsmitty2047]

Mace wins hands down for me, its not a question. Mace ability with the lightsaber is 2nd to none. Its actually stated by Master Yoda, that Mace mastery of his fighting style, Yoda stated that 1 on 1 Mace could never be defeated, because he used this style to harness his opponents energy and strengths against themselves, actually drawing on them. Yoda did not state it was only sith but anyone. Therefore based on Yoda, He could go against sidious one on one in a duel and best him since Sidiouds use of the dark side would only empoer Mace,. Although force powers give the advantage to Sidious. So for me its Mace, just based on what Ive read and my opinion.

[@andrewlarson7]

IMO Mace is the most powerful Jedi ever. The 3 strongest are easily him Yoda and Luke. Mace is the most powerful because he was the only one to actually beat Sidious.

[@joeywantstoplay]

sound logic.....I agree....

[@ralfigs]

Lol how do you figure? No he's not. He's good but not the most powerful 😂

these are two of my favourite characters in the all of star wars

mace>yoda> obi wan> qui gon. in terms of dueling skill

yoda defo is stronger than mace

yoda is way more skilled, he trained like 20.000 jedis

[@hollowkid97]

Cadet Laventure only cause he lived longer.

[@powerbound4162]

Goddess Miranda.Cosgrove yoda at his prime could definitely out duel all of them at once and even as a old man he was definitely still be stronger than mace

[@hollowkid97]

Power Bound idk about that. shatterpoint gives mace a good advantage

[@k.o-imperfect5724]

Guys, guys, guys, I was just thinking, what if, Palpatine (of all people) was the Chosen One? Think about it. Even though Anikin was "the chosen one" reffered to in the prophecy, who became Emporer. The Jedi had not let the Sith thrive in YEARS. Anikin was just a pawn. Sidious actually brought balance (Not peace, of course he is butthole).

[@45nitrox]

Revan The Prodigal Knight no

[@sebas8225]

A lot of force sensitives can proclaim themselves as the "chosen one", Anakin just had more midiclorians to justify his pretence.

[@coffeeenjoyer9099]

It was confirmed in the clone wars that Anakin was the chosen one

[@chloro6574]

What music do you use in the background?

[@IfIOnlyKnew2]

That was great 👍

[@Stark-Targaryen]

mace would beat Darth Vader, Kenobi and Luke true question is would he beat Yoda?

[@LuDimezofKush]

I think so

[@EricWilke1141987]

Yoda was the Grand Master for a reason. I believe Yoda would win.

[@LuDimezofKush]

Mace was grandmaster as well

[@EricWilke1141987]

True but for a short time. Yoda has centuries over Mace. I would like to see that battle though.

[@maxstbergh3994]

hahahaha really? Mace would not stand a chance against luke lol 😂😂😂

[@eseguerito2629]

I got a fun fan fiction/alternate history idea: Quigon doesn't die in Episode 1, he trains Anakin Himself, and together they fulfil Anakin's prophesied destiny of restoring balance by leaving the Jedi order (which Quigon already believed was deeply flawed) and founding a new league of grey Jedi. The Sith fall, the Jedi disband or join the grey Jedi, and balance is restored to the force.

[@GreeNSHeLL641]

don't forget gin was learning to become one with the force and like obi in a new hope part of them is in the process of becoming immortal (force ghosts( so when gin was fighting maul this was already in process hence him being weaker then in his younger days. Just to your other points! Great vids btw!

[@scottphillips6005]

In the revenge of the sith novel it is explained that Windu is actually winning the fight vs Sidious, but he was turning to the dark side in the process.
