    I've noticed that toward the end of the Podrace that Qui-Gon closes his eyes and starts to meditate in a way.

    Is he helping Anakin calm down?

    Is he using the Force to destroy Sebulba's pod?

    Is he trying to connect the Force to Anakin?


    My opinion is that he's trying to destroy Sebulba's pod. After seeing all the nasty things Sebulba did in the race, Qui-Gon is giving him justice the Jedi way. Also, he's insuring that Anakin becomes free and able to join the Jedi Order.

    I dont know about him trying to kill sebulba. I think it was more about teaching watto and the natives about gambling and that it was the wrong thing to do. he was trying to show that gambling was tearing down their world.

    I didn't say killing Sebulba. I said destroying his pod so Anakin could win.

    He's most likely helping Anakin calm down and focus. It would be against the jedi way to take down Sebulba. that's cheating, and even worse because he's using the force to cheat.

    I think he's using the Force to help Anakin, to help him see clearer and control his pod better. or, he could use the force to keep the pod on course, and stablise it after it nearly got destroyed mid-race.

    He may be trying to communicate to Anakin through the Force, telling him to stay calm and use the Force or something, similar to what Obi-Wan does to Luke in the Death Star trench, we just don't get to hear it?

    Probably just doing what we would do - close your eyes and hope for the best outcome.

    I'm presuming that influencing an object as complicated as a pod and engines, whilst in motion, at that distance away, would be too difficult for any Jedi. Anakin's use of the Force seems adequate enough for the task at hand, as he proved with his fixing Sebulba's sabotage - and this power of the Force is something Qui Gon has already noted Anakin possessed.

    But.... it's a nice theory!... and i'm wondering if any novel/comic/fanfic has elaborated on it...?
