Hey guys, welcome back to the channel. In this Star Wars fan theory we look at what
would happen if Qui Gon Jinn survived the duel on Naboo against Darth Maul. This theory
was not suggested by any of you but because of this comment I included a solid amount
of Dathomir in the story.Alright with that out of the way, on with the video.Our story
starts on Naboo during Gui Gon and Obi Wan’s duel against Darth Maul. In our story Obi
Wan and Qui Gon faught much closer and unified meaning they were not separated by the gates.
Without Maul being able to separate the two of them he was subdued before long and put
into Republic prison. Back on Coruscant Qui Gon continued to push
the Jedi Council to let him train Anakin. After lots of pushback he finally convinced
them and Anakin's training began. In Republic prison Maul waited for his master
to set him free but unfortunately for him, a cruel surprise awaited him. Although Maul
was not cut in half in our story he still failed his master but this time there was
no dumpster planet to hide and recover on. In our story Maul was stuck in a prison which
was now under the control of his unforgiving master. After a few weeks, an assassin by
the name of Aurra Sing was sent into the prison to kill Maul. Before Aurra got the chance
to finish her mission though, Maul sensed her approach and was ready for her arrival
to his cell. Once she got there, Maul quickly disarmed her and they began fistfighting.
Aurra did not have much of a chance since Maul was very powerful with the force and
before long she was pleading for mercy. Aurra offered to tell Maul who sent her and when
she revealed that it was Darth Sidious, Maul was so enraged that he force choked and killed
her on the spot. During the confusion Maul was able to escape and descend into the depths
of Coruscant. Even though Maul was not killed Palpatine
still replaced him with Dooku after he left the Jedi Order.
During Anakin’s training Qui Gon was much more prepared than Obi Wan so Anakin’s childish
nature was handled much better and he matured much quicker. Just like in the movies Anakin
became an extremely powerful jedi very quickly. While Anakin trained, Maul roamed the undercity
of Coruscant constantly worried that his master would find him. He decided that he needed
to get off the planet because Palpatine would be able to sense his whereabouts. Before long,
he stole a ship and escaped the planet. His travels led him back to his home planet of
Dathomir for refuge and to seek guidance from Mother Talzin. Mother Talzin helped Maul and
assured him that he would have his revenge before long. Also on a side note, Maul not
only has a vendetta against Obi Wan and his former master but also Qui Gon because he
played a part in his defeat. Now back with Anakin, he began having nightmares
of his mother in pain just like in the movies but in our story, since Qui Gon wasn’t nearly
as strict about following the Jedi rules, Qui Gon brought Anakin to Tatooine so they
could help his mother. Anakin found Watto just like in the movie and found out about
Cliegg Lars and they went to find him. Once they got there they found out about Shmi being
missing so Qui Gon and Anakin went out looking for her. In our story though, Shmi was in
much better shape because Qui Gon and Anakin went out looking for her much quicker than
in the movie. When they got to the encampment Qui Gon held off the Tusken Raiders while
Anakin retrieved his mother. They escaped and not only did the men survive but the women
and the children too. No massacre was involved in the rescue and they headed back to the
Lars homestead. Anakin had a very touching reunion with his mother but unfortunately
that was as much as Qui Gon could allow and they headed back to Coruscant.
Back on Coruscant a new danger arose in the form of the attempted assasination on Senator
Padme Amidala. In response, Anakin, Obi Wan and Qui Gon were assigned to the task of protecting
the senator. Anakin, Obi Wan and Qui Gon headed to meet
Senator Amidala just like Obi Wan and Anakin did at the beginning of Attack of the Clones.
Just like in the movie Anakin childishly offered to hunt down Padme’s assassin but in our
story when Qui Gon reminds Anakin to follow the council orders he does not snap back at
him like he did to Obi Wan in the movie. That night Zam Wessel attempted to assassinate
Padme and was thwarted quickly by our trio of jedi. Obi Wan was about to jump out to
catch the droid but Qui Gon stopped him. They instead alerted Coruscant security to follow
the droid. Because of this decision, Zam was captured quickly but just like in the movie
Jango killed her to make sure she didn’t reveal anything. Just like in Attack of the
Clones this led to the discovery of Kamino. In our story though, Obi Wan was sent to protect
Padme on Naboo since Qui Gon was there to make the mature decision that Anakin was not
right for the job. Because of this, both Qui Gon and Anakin ended up traveling to Kamino
when they found it’s location. When they arrived and the Kaminoans showed
them the Republic’s clone army Qui Gon was immediately suspicious. Before long they were
introduced to Jango and the jedi noticed his armor. They reported to the Jedi Council and
headed back to apprehend Jango but he was already leaving. Although, with there being
two Jedi there in our story, Jango was quickly apprehended before he could enter his ship,
but Boba escaped. Jango was brought back to Coruscant and questioned. After promising
to find Boba and give him a home in the Republic Jango finally agreed to reveal information.
He revealed what he knew about the rapidly growing droid army even though it wasn’t
much. Although, this was enough to allow Palpatine to convince the senate to put the Clone Army
into action. Before long, the droids and clones faced each other and the Clone Wars began.
Back on Dathomir, Maul waited for his chance to take his revenge. The day that chance came
was when a sith assassin by the name of Asajj Ventress arrived. She was betrayed by her
master Count Dooku. Maul was happy to help take revenge on his replacement so a plan
was put into place. If you’ve watched the Clone Wars animated series then you will be
familiar with Mother Talsin’s plan. Mother Talsin called Count Dooku and offered him
a new apprentice to replace the one who failed him. The one offered was Savage, Maul’s
brother. Savage was turned into a vicious warrior through Night Sister magic and made
to be loyal to Dooku until they said otherwise. Savage was accepted by Dooku and the plan
was afoot. After Savage served Dooku loyally for a while, Asajj and Maul went to Dooku’s
ship then they were captured and brought to the bridge where Savage and Dooku were located.
When Dooku ordered Savage to kill them, he did not and Asajj, Maul and Savage all worked
together to kill Dooku. Before they could even make it off the ship, Palpatine heard
word of what happened and made contact with the three of them. Knowing what Palpatine
was capable of, Maul thought they were as good as dead but surprisingly, Palpatine was
impressed by Maul and offered him a place at his side once again. Since Maul was so
brainwashed to think that Palpatine had a great plan that he could be a part of that
would bring both of them to immense power Maul was desperate and accepted. Palpatine
instructed Maul to kill his brother and Asajj and surprisingly to them, he did. Maul was
once again Palpatine’s apprentice and brought into Palpatine’s great plan.
We pick back up with Jedi general Qui Gon Jinn and Jedi Commander Anakin Skywalker leading
the 501st in an Assault on Ringo Vinda. With the help of Jedi Master Sisters Tiplar and
Tiplee they pushed the Seperatist forces further and further out of the orbiting civilian graving
dock. Although, in the heat of battle something devastating happened. A clone trooper by the
name of Tup turned on his Jedi leaders and killed Master Tiplar. The Republic forces
were pushed back after this. Everyone wanted answers so Tup was sent to Kamino to be studied.
Back with Maul, Palpatine arranged a meeting in secret so he could explain Maul's role
in his plans for the near future. Unfortunately for Maul, his true role would not be revealed
until it was too late. Maul completed everything he was asked but he often had nightmares of
what he did to his brother and Asajj. Back on Kamino, Fives and Tup were having
tests run on them but unknown to the Jedi, the Kaminoans were being extremely careful
to not reveal the true reason for Tup’s actions. Before long, Fives caught onto this
and started doing his own investigation. He and a droid called AZI-34521189- and like
50 other numbers I’m not reading out, did their own tests and found the inhibitor chip.
The Kaminoans denied it’s existence so to prove it to the Jedi, Fives and AZ-3 performed
a surgery to remove the chip. After this the Kaminoans continued to hide any evidence about
the inhibitor chip by wiping AZ-3 and Five’s memories secretly but once again, Fives caught
on and escaped. The Kaminoans really just can’t slip anything
past Fives. Fives and AZ-3 continued their investigation
and figured out that the chips were in every single clone in the entire army. As much as
the Kaminoans tried to cover this up, Jedi Master Shaak Ti brought Five’s case to the
Chancellor not knowing his involvement. Palpatine covered it up by making everyone think Fives
tried to assassinate him. After this, Fives was on the run again but he was able to arrange
a meeting with Captain Rex, Qui Gon and Anakin. When they arrived at where Fives wanted to
meet, they were caught in a ray shield. Fives did that to make sure they would hear him
out but before he could finish, a squad of shock troopers arrived led by Commander Fox.
Since Fives attempted to grab a blaster Fox was pushed to fire on Fives, killing him.
After Five’s dying message, Qui Gon and Anakin looked into his claim. They found the
chip in Rex’s brain and after a lot of convincing by Rex, they had the chip removed to see if
his behaviour would noticeably change. If nothing changed then that would mean that
Fives was most likely set up like he claimed. Palpatine heard about the investigation and
Maul was assigned to the task of silencing them. Maul was ordered to only kill Qui Gon
because not only was Anakin vital for his plan but Palpatine also doubted that he would
be able to continue the investigation on his own.
During one of the 501st’s following missions when Anakin and Qui Gon were separated from
the 501st enough, Maul jumped out and ambushed them.
Maul jumped out and attacked Anakin and Qui Gon and for the second time, a battle between
Qui Gon and his apprentice began with Maul. Maul had no plans of losing again so, with
his new drive for victory, he fought ruthlessly. The green and blue blades of Qui Gon and Anakin
clashed with the crimson blades of Maul in a vicious flurry of stabs, slashes and parrys.
As skilled as Qui Gon and as powerful as Anakin was, Maul’s unhinged rage was tiring them
out. Qui Gon realised that they would have to finish this quickly or Maul would be able
overpower the both of them but Maul was proving to be an extremely difficult adversary. Maul
continued to attack with ferocity and it looked like Maul was going to come out on top but
before Maul could get any killing blows in, Rex and the Torrent Company jumped out and
fired on him. Maul knew he was beat so he retreated before the clones could kill or
capture him. Qui Gon quickly connected the dots and realised that this attack was no
coincidence and it was most likely because of their investigation which meant that they
were looking into something that was not only very secret but also tied to the sith. Also,
it meant that whatever they were doing, they were on the right track.
Very carefully and secretly, Anakin and Qui Gon had more of the 501st trooper’s chips
removed and as they expected, none of them became erratic like Fives allegedly did after
he got his removed. Before long, over half of the 501st had their inhibitor chips removed.
However, before they could remove any more chips, the 501st, along with many other corps
and legions were called back to Coruscant to protect it from an assault led by General
Grievous. During the assault, Chancellor Palpatine was
taken prisoner so Anakin, Obi Wan and Qui Gon were sent to rescue him.
The rescue played out almost exactly the same as it did in the movie except with the addition
of Qui Gon. When they made it to the Chancellor, that is when things differ quite a bit from
the movie. Since Dooku already died in our story, Maul stepped out and confronted our
trio. Maul carefully planned out how the fight was going to play out and it started very
much in his favour. Maul was able to quickly knock Obi Wan out of the fight by trapping
him under a metal platform like Dooku did in the movie. The next target was Qui Gon
and once again he was able to knock him out of the fight as well. Maul quite literally
disarmed him by cutting his arm off at the elbow. It may be surprising to you how well
Maul is doing in this fight but what our trio of jedi didn’t know was that Palpatine was
altering the fight secretly with the force just enough to give Maul the edge he needed
to come out on top and make the fight play out to Palpatine’s plan. With only Anakin
left, you would think it would be a done deal but Palpatine actually ordered Maul to let
Anakin win at this point so Anakin was able to quickly subdue Maul. Palpatine then ordered
Anakin to kill Maul but since in our story Anakin was a lot less of an unhinged and childish
person and Qui Gon was there, Anakin did not listen. After that, they all successfully
escaped the ship and the Seperatist forces were repelled.
At this point Palpatine realised that he was not going to be able to turn Anakin into his
apprentice. Anakin is much more mature in our story and he never married Padme meaning
Palpatine couldn’t leverage that like he did in the movie. After the failed attempt
to have him lean into his emotions and kill Maul he realised that there was no hope which
led him to initiate order 66 earlier than in the movie. At this point, Obi Wan, Anakin
and Qui Gon were in the jedi temple. During the first moments of order 66 when the generals
in the outer rim started getting executed but before the raid on the temple began, our
trio of jedi were able to piece things together and they contacted Rex to see if removing
the inhibitor chips really did work and they didn’t turn on the jedi. Next, the majority
of the 501st who had their chips removed rushed to the jedi temple and aided in the escape
of hundreds of jedi masters, knights and padawans. Many of the clones lost their lives but their
sacrifice led to the safety of a very large amount of the jedi in the temple. Because
of this, the Jedi order was able to live on in much better shape than in the movies. The
501st clones who escaped, aided the Jedi for the next few years subduing clones and removing
their chips. Before long, the galaxy was split between the New Jedi Order whose goal was
to rid their order and the galaxy of the corruption that reigned for so long, the Galactic Empire
which tried to gain as much power as it could during the chaos, and the Separatists who
were able to to survive past order 66 in our story and separate themselves from the sith
so they could continue fighting for their goals and ideals.
That’s it for my what if Qui Gon survived his duel on Naboo with Darth Maul theory.
What did you guys think? I really enjoyed making this theory so I hope you enjoyed watching
it. This was my first theory to every hit four parts so I wanted to ask you guys, should
I stretch out future theories to last as long or longer than this one did or would you prefer
if I kept them short and sweet? Let me know in the comments below. Also, remember to suggest
any theories you would like to see me make in the future down in the comments as well.
Alright, that’s it for this video so make sure to like and subscribe and I’ll see
you in the next one.
