As the battle between the Galactic Republic and Trade Federation reached its apex, Jedi
Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi entered into the hangar of the Theed
palace on Naboo, intent on capturing Viceroy Gunray, when they encountered the Zabrak Sith
Maul. As they fought from the hangar to the generators, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are separated
by the shields, and the Jedi master fell at the blade of Maul as his aging defences subsided.
Although Obi-Wan managed to defeat Maul, Qui-Gon could not be saved, and his training to become
a Force spirit had been incomplete. Over a decade later, Jedi Grandmaster Yoda learnt
of Qui-Gon’s training, as the deceased Jedi spoke to him in the Force, and guided him
through his trials. First going to Dagobah, then the Wellspring of life to seek the guidance
of the Force priestesses, Yoda was able to complete his training, but it had not been
enough for the Jedi, as Darth Sidious deceived them all to become the Emperor of his new
Empire. The surviving members of the Jedi purge, convened to discuss their plans for
the future, and there Obi-Wan learned of his master’s path to immortality. Through his
years of isolation on Tatooine, the Jedi master spoke to Qui-Gon, and trained to become a
Force spirit to help Luke Skywalker defeat the might of the Empire. But what if Qui-Gon
had been able to complete his training before his death on Naboo? How could he help the
Jedi through the battle with the dark side? As you are going to discover, Qui-Gon’s
ghost could have changed the outcome of the war…
In the Galactic City on Coruscant, the planet along with many others, broadcasted the continued
celebrations on Naboo, but those at the Jedi Temple did not join in. Yoda and the other
Jedi had been concerned about the return of the Sith, and the Grandmaster feared for the
training of Anakin Skywalker. As he meditated, he heard a voice that he thought he would
never hear, and he addressed Master Qui-Gon Jinn. The corporeal form of the Jedi master
glided around the room, and Yoda looked astonished that Qui-Gon had transcended the living Force
to achieve immortality. Yoda asked Qui-Gon how they could defeat the Sith, but the Jedi
master spoke in riddles, only telling Yoda that Dooku’s departure from the Jedi order
could return to hurt them. Immediately disappearing from the Grandmaster’s sight, the Force
spirit drifted to Obi-Wan’s new quarters, where the Jedi looked saddened at his loss,
and the task that laid ahead of him, in training the Chosen One. Qui-Gon’s presence led to
Obi-Wan igniting his blade, fearing this was some kind of Sith trick, but the recently
dead Jedi master assured him that he had trained for such a moment. Qui-Gon did not want Obi-Wan
to drown in his failure to save him, but focus on training Anakin, as he strongly believed
the boy would bring balance to the Force. As the Jedi began his training of Anakin,
Qui-Gon continued to guide his padawan through his training, and attempted to track down
Dooku, but without success. But as the machinations of the clone war began to start, Qui-Gon detected
something wrong with the death of Jedi master Sifo Dyas. Appearing in front of the Jedi
Council after they had meditated together, the Force spirit alerted the Jedi to the disappearance,
and immediately they went to investigate. Yoda left the Council chamber, then ventured
to the home of the old supreme Chancellor Valorum, and with the memory of the secret
mission at the front of his mind, the former politician gave all of the details of the
journey to deal with the Pyke Syndicate. Dispatching himself and Jedi master Plo Koon to find out
why he had disappeared, the Jedi enter the system of Oba Diah, where the ghost of Qui-Gon
appeared to guide them to the moon. The Jedi battle through the vicious winds, and they
find the remains of the Jedi master’s T6 shuttle, then his lightsaber. Still devoid
of answers, the Jedi fly to the base of the criminal Pyke organisation, and discover that
Valorum’s personal aide of Silman still survived, as they had kept him to protect
from Dooku’s potential betrayal. The Jedi interrogate the still sane human, and he revealed
that the Pykes had been paid to kill him and Sifo-Dyas, also revealing that it had been
the work of Dooku under the name of Tyranus. The Jedi stare at each other in horror, as
this meant the former Jedi was the Sith they needed to defeat, and they needed to stop
any other plans he could have weaved. The Jedi continue their chase of Sifo-Dyas by
heading to Felucia, where they had originally ordered him to go, and they discovered that
the local tribes continued to believe the Jedi had lived. Yoda revealed they had been
deceived, and Dooku was not the Jedi they believed him to be, so they seek vengeance
for their planet. The Jedi are still missing the final element to the puzzle, and Qui-Gon
uses previous knowledge of his master, to inform that he had sided with Sifo Dyas, in
his ambitious plan to create a Grand Army for the Republic, so they search through the
history of the Jedi master’s communications with the other worlds. The resident Jedi investigator
Tera Sinube is in charge of the search, and the Cosian master used his previous training
of Sifo Dyas, to determine that he had been in contact with the Kaminoans quite frequently.
The Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi join Yoda and Plo Koon, on their journey to solve the mystery
of the Sith unaware of what they would face. That is it for part 1 what if Qui-Gon became
