In legends Darth Maul was given very explicit orders to kill Qui-Gon Jinn
And Naboo by Darth Plagueis through Lord Sidious because he felt that qui-gon would be a danger to the Revenge of the Sith
Although he didn't know why so what reasons did the Sith have to fear qui-gon first in Canon qui-gon
Jinn was arguably one of the most powerful Jedi with a wisdom that was on par with both masters
Yoda and Windu he was also the first Jedi to return from the netherworld of the force
He was a Jedi who was not easily swayed by the rules of the Council and most importantly felt that the Jedi Council had begun
To lose their way and connection to the force
He felt they were too involved with politics and the Republic it was this weakness of the Jedi. That was most
Exploited by the Sith in their plot to operate in the shadows without detection qui-gon
however
sought to always follow the force and very possibly could have sensed this its plot well before it was carried out it was he after
All that since Darth Maul was a Sith despite the rest of the council not believing
so at first as may said
I don't think the Sith could have returned without us knowing the second reason for the Sith to worry about qui-gon is that he understood?
The prophecy of the chosen one in a way that no other Jedi did since it had been so long
Since its inception the Jedi had largely stopped studying it and some including Master Yoda
I believe the Jedi may be interpreting it all wrong qui-gon
however
Spent countless hours poring over the old prophecies which allowed him to read them all in context rather than seeing them as separate two unrelated
prophecies qui-gon knew the prophecy of the chosen one also spoke of the
Sacrifice of many Jedi and the cleansing of the order's own sin. He also knew the prophecy of the return of the Sith
Undoubtedly, he did or would have put these two prophecies together as happening during his life
All these things would have led to the third reason the Sith had to be worried of him whether or not he trained Anakin Skywalker
Qui-gon believed that Anakin was the chosen one and would have been sure that Anakin knew these prophecies inside and out
especially if they concerned him qui-gon would have taught them to serve as a warning to the young padawan and very well could have
spared Anakin from his dark fate also because Qui-Gon certainly sensed the darkness within
Anakin he would have been able to better help Anakin choose the light as a tool against the dark rather than trying to ignore it
completely as the Jedi taught another reason that qui-gon would have been a powerful master to Anakin is because Anakin
Skywalker's fall to the dark side was
Precipitated because of his love of Padme the new canon book master and apprentice hints that qui-gon
Jinn, himself may have had his own forbidden romance in the past
But that he ultimately chose the Jedi path over love why or how remains a mystery but qui-gon even always carried a Mustafar e'en
Fire-demon that he received from her. You may be saying though
Hey, how is that different from obi-wan and the Mandalorian Duchess Satine on the surface?
It's the same obi-wan recounted his lessons learned from choosing the order over Satine on numerous occasions
But I believe he also highly suspected Anakin's relationship with Padme but chose to ignore it now
I'll get into why in another video long story short though. I don't believe qui-gon would have ignored it
I think he would have been open with Anakin spoken to him frankly about it and help Anakin make the decision that would have best
Followed the force and put down the dark side
the last reason the SITH needed to fear qui-gon and why qui-gon was such a better teacher for Anakin was because Qui-Gon would not have
Underestimated Count Dooku as the Jedi did prior to the Clone Wars
Jin would certainly have sensed the dark side in Dooku long before Master Yoda and perhaps even sensed what Dooku was working to bring about
For thus if the entire Clone Wars strategy could have potentially been foiled by qui-gon
Yoda himself tried to use the force to do this but was partially blinded by his arrogance just a city has said in Revenge of
the Sith
so after seeing all of these reasons that the Sith had to fear qui-gon the bigger question remains as to whether cweigand death was the
will of force if qui-gon had lived and done all these things the prophecy of the chosen one the sacrifice of many Jedi the Jedi
overcoming their sins and the return of the Sith may never have come to fruition so would then the will of the force have been
Frustrated since the prophecies would have been debunked or what the prophecies have been fulfilled in another way
That was more in line with the light side of the force. Let me know what you think in the comments below
