Qui-Gon's Thoughts on Anakin Becoming Vader

the jedis version of therapy: "yo bro just stop being sad"

Jedi: We can save your mother Also Jedi: But we won't

*everyone*: "Anakin is the chosen one!" *Disney and JJ Abrams*: "Yeah well, who cares"

All I want to see in Kenobi is Ewan say "Hello there" one more time

If I remember correctly Liam Neeson said he's always ready/willing to dust off his old Lightsaber to come back as Qui-Gon, Qui-Gon and Maul were and have been my favorite movie characters since my kid self first saw Phantom Menace and I'd love to see Liam Neeson return

Quigon saying "he is imprisoned to the darkside" instead of saying "Anakin is lost to the darkside" is actually pretty meaningful, means that Quigon felt that Anakin was still there whereas Obiwan and Ahsoka simply gave up on Anakin and felt that he was lost forever, Quigon still had hope in Anakin 😢

I really want to see Qui-gon's Force Ghost telling a depressed and defeated looking Obi-wan that Anakin is still the Chosen One and that there is Light deep inside of him. To which Obi-wan will answer "No Master, he's been consumed by the Dark Side. That little boy from Watto's workshop is gone". Qui-gon will answer: "The Force works in mysterious ways, old friend. All is not how it seems, and you may find the Light surviving even in the darkest places. You still have much to learn my young apprentice". As Qui-gon disappears, Obi-wan mentions: "Master, there is another....".

he couldnt actually DO IT - shows a picture of palpatine. absolute gold

I always thought the "I dont like sand" line was lowkey genius from Anakin If Anakin doesn't like sand, it's a reason why he wouldnt return to Tatoine.

5:08 lmao poor Obi-Wan can't catch a break. This I think is why he's such a beloved character though, he's a little more relatable than apparently all-wise and powerful force mystics like Qui-Gon and Yoda (as cool as they are). In the prequels, he's almost kind of an everyman, the primary character through whose eyes you witness Anakin's rise and fall.

Basically Qui Gon was Obi Wan from Episode IV, it just took longer for Obi Wan to learn from his mistakes as a Jedi. You see how when he was an old man how tender and caring he was with Luke, he rectified his coldness with Anakin and was like a cool grandpa to Luke.

as a fan from the original movie I’ve seen when opened back then to now, it’s always have been the story of Anakin. It’s a tragic story… but gives hope. Lucas really did have a good story.

Theory’s take on the novel, Master and Apprentice, is a bit off IMO, but people interpret things differently. I felt Qui-Gon never viewed Obi Wan as a sub par Jedi or apprentice, Qui-Gon viewed himself as a failure because they weren’t attuned as master and apprentice until later in their time. Qui-Gon felt Obi Wan was too much aligned with the council’s beliefs and didn’t think for himself. Likewise, Obi Wan felt Jinn was too rouge and went against the council’s guidance too often. Obi Wan was a very talented apprentice, he won his class’s dueling trails amongst other high achievements. In the novel, Qui Gon thought often about assigning Obi Wan to another master because he saw what potential Obi Wan had and was concerned he wasn’t getting it out him. Qui Gon figured out toward the end of Obi Wan’s apprenticeship just how talented of a Jedi Obi Wan was and would become and (without spoiling the book) why master Yoda had assigned the two together. I couldn’t recommend the Master and Apprentice book any higher, it’s a great read.

I 100% think Qui Gon had an understanding of Anakin’s fate in going to and from the dark side. Anakin needed to do so to bring balance to the force. There was no other way for it to happen. I believe Qui Gon understood his role within this prophecy and carried it out the best he could.

That’s why obi wan is a fan favorite! It’s because even though he suffered enormously he still didn’t turn to the dark side. He was the wisest.

If we got Matrix 4, and if we got Dafoe and Molina in Spider-man: No Way Home, I think we can get Qui-Gon easily.

The Rise Of Darth Vader is a great book and I've been hoping they'd use it for tv or movies. Star wars is Skywalker.

What if OBI Wan felt pain when holding the lightsaber. And everytime he held it, he would always feel like he failed anakin.

I would really like to see Obi-wan talk to Qui-gon Jinn as the force ghost for the upcoming Kenobi series. That would be so amazing!

I think Qui Gon easily could have steered Anakin in the right direction. He too had his own disagreements with the jedi council. And he understood the faults of the Jedi better than anyone else. Obi wan couldn't have done it, since he was more of a brother to Anakin than anything else. And the main reason Anakin ended up making the decision that he did was because of the inability of those around him to fully grasp what he was going through. Qui gon was perhaps the only one who could have understood Anakin.
