Hey everybody and welcome to Leia’s Lair.
In this episode I will be doing a ‘what if’ scenario, and that is: what if Qui-gon
Jinn did not die at the end of The Phantom Menace.

Rewinding to The Phantom Menace, what if Qui-gon Jinn never died?
During the fight between Qui-gon and Obi-wan against Darth Maul, Obi-wan is knocked back
and separated from the fight.
Although sensing that Darth Maul is a powerful fighter, Qui-gon would hold back, opting to
go on more of the defensive.
This would give Obi-wan time to catch up, although he would still be stuck behind a
single force field.
During this moment Darth Maul would strike Qui-gon in the leg injuring him and then blast
him with a powerful Force push, knocking him unconscious.
Just as Maul was about to strike Qui-gon on the ground, the force field opens up and Obi-wan
is able to save his master from Maul’s fatal blow.
Obi-wan, heated, would then engage Darth Maul.
During the battle Obi-wan would fight courageously until Darth Maul blasted Obi-wan away with
Force push as well, leaving him to dangle for his life as Maul kicks his lightsaber
down the reactor shaft.
Using quick thinking, Obi-wan would use the Force to grab his unconscious master’s lightsaber,
while at the same time propelling himself over Maul, where he would defeat the Sith
by cutting him in half
Qui-gon would regain consciousness to find out that Obi-wan had successfully taken care
of Darth Maul.
The two of them would then head to Coruscant to discuss the matter with the Jedi Council.
Obi-wan would be given the rank of Jedi Knight for destroying Darth Maul while Qui-gon was
unconscious.
For the same reasons, Qui-gon would ask Obi-wan to
take on the task of training Anakin.
Obi-wan would at first decline, but Qui-gon would insist that he was the one who defeated
Darth Maul, and if it was not for him he would be dead.
He would finally agree to train the boy because his old master asked him to.
Obi-wan would then show up to the victory celebration on Naboo with his new padawan,
Anakin Skywalker, although Qui-gon Jinn would not be there.
After asking Obi-wan to train Anakin, Qui-gon Jinn had disappeared, thought to have finally
left the Jedi Order due to having different ideals.
Fast forward 10 years to the assassination attempt on Senator Padme Amidala which takes
place on Coruscant.
All the events take place as they would in the normal timeline, such as Obi-wan and Anakin
being assigned to protect Padme, Obi-wan going to Kamino to discover the Clone Army, Anakin
and Padme falling in love, Obi-wan tracking Jango Fett to Geonosis, and Anakin murdering
the sand people.
Obi-wan would get captured by the Separatists, where he would be greeted in his cell by Count
Dooku.
Count Dooku would then try to convince Obi-wan to join him.
Suddenly from out of the shadows a dark figure appears to say…
“Hello Obi-wan...
my old apprentice.”
“Qui-gon?
Is that really you?
What are you doing here?
I thought you might have been killed, you left the order 10 years ago and no one has
heard anything or seen you since.”
“I see you have become a wise and powerful Jedi just as I had foreseen…
I am sorry for the deception Obi-wan, you see I left because there were many things
I did not agree with.
I did not want to get you involved at the time.”
“Why are you here with Dooku?”
“I know it is hard for you to understand, but we are all on the same side.
Dooku is right, together we can bring peace and order to the galaxy.”
“I don’t believe what I’m hearing…”
“Please Obi-wan, you must realize this is the only way”
“I am sorry Qui-gon, but my allegiance is to the Republic, to the Jedi Order.”
“I am sorry too then my old padawan…”
Qui-gon and Dooku leave.
Anakin and Padme attempt to rescue Obi-wan but get captured as well.
They are then sentenced to execution in the arena.
Mace Windu and many Jedi show up, but many die before Yoda shows up with the clones.
In pursuit of Count Dooku, Anakin and Obi-wan track him down to the secret hangar where
Qui-gon is already waiting…
Alright everyone, that is it for part one.
I really want to do a part two, but I want to hear what you guys think should happen
next.
Thanks for watching everyone.
