What Would Have Happened If Qui-Gon...

...killed Darth Maul and lived instead?

 

alot

 

He would of trained Anakin, Obiwan would have a different apprentice, and Quigon would probably be a Jedi that survived Order 66. I don't know where he would go then, maybe during the period between III and IV he trains Obiwan(physical form not ghost) to become one with the Force. Then he probably goes to Dagobah and teaches Yoda the technique. Anakin would still be turned to Darth Vader. Quigon would be dueling Anakin on Mustafar instead of Obiwan. Quigon would probably be the one to teach Luke the ways of the Jedi, with Obiwan. Quigon and Obiwan would be the one to duel Vader on the Death Star. That is all I can think of.

 

No turn to the Dark Side, no Darth Vader.

Like Dooku says in AOTC, maybe Qui-Gon would have joined him. I doubt it, though.

 

The events of OT would still happen.

 

No they wouldn't cuz Anakin wouldn't of turned to the dark side. For one Qui Gon would of freed anakins mom. He tried once "no prize 'or something' is worth 2 slaves" So he would of tried i'm sure again.

 

I never quite understood why Anakin didn't just go to the first national bank of courescant or something, and just traid in a hanful of Republic whatevers-credits for something he could spend on the outer rim, and just go back and buy his mother..

I mean Qui-gon had tons of money with him, just not money they take out there

 

What if's shouldn't be a part of it. Everything happens for a reason.

 

Well, depending on why Dooku left the Jedi Order, maybe the Clone Wars wouldn't have taken place. And so no Episodes 2-6.

 

If Qui-Gon would have survived, Dooku would have killed him. Dooku was Qui-Gon's Master, and than Anakin would have turned to the dark side anyway.

 

oooor Qui Gon would of join dooku in his efforts (not become a Sith, but fight for Dookus cause)

maybe........or maybe not.

 

qui-gon would have gone with mace windu to arrest palpatine, but gotten killed. just my opinion though.

 

I agree that he might have joind Dooku for his cause. But not turn to the Sith.

 

If he did join Dooku then in episode 2 we would have had Anakin vs. Dooku and Obi-Wan vs. Qui-gon.

Which would have been cool.

 

I really don't think he would of joined Dooku, Quigon was wise enough to know the truth. If Quigon never died then he would replace Obiwan in Episode II.

 

That'd be sweet to see Obi-Wan take on Qui-Gon! But I think if he had killed Maul, he would have been killed in AOTC, because Obi-Wan HAD to train Anakin to some extent, a la the OT.

 

Qui-Gon definetly would have trained Anakin. ANakin would have seen his mother long before Episode II. Count Dooku wouldn't have turned to the dark side. He would still be in the order. It's difficult to know whether Skywalker would still be Darth Vader or not. I've always thought that Darth Maul's lightsaber stab to Qui-Gon's gut was the difference between Anakin being a Sith and being a Jedi.

 

Yes he would have. The reasons were not because of his mastership (Obi-wan was the best posible master. Qui-gon was defiant and Anakin would have strayed to the dark side anyhow) the reason was:

Making 2 main attachments, loss of 1 attachment, fear of the loss of the other.

The reason that Jedi are trained from a young age is so that they forget their parents and that they learn to make no attachments. Anakin's 2 most important attachements were his mum, and Padme. Both attachments were created before his training. Even if QUi-Gon was his master, he would have lost his mum, and fell in love with Padme. That would have led him evil. It is nothing to do with his master.

 

Even if Qui-Gon did believe the Republic was in bad shape I don't see him joining the Sith in order to correct it so I agree with you on this.

 

This is confusing. One person's death makes such a difference!

 

I think George VERY specifically played the story out to have the audience consider such implications, and I think he was, at the very least, hinting at the idea that under Qui-Gon's guidance, Anakin would have never turned.

If you look at the "turning point" for Anakin, it is when he fears losing Palps, but this is because he believes Palps has the ability to teach him how to "save" Padme. And of course, this comes largely from his premonitions. As is very clear now, Qui-Gon's "living" force approach may have helped Anakin realize that these premonitions weren't set-in-stone, that they weren't totally damning. As we now know, the OT Yoda has adopted Qui-Gon's philosophy, "always in motion, the future is." It is at least fathomable, that with 10 years guidance under such ideas, that Anakin never would have turned and would have destroyed Palpatine without all the needless bloodshed in between. Of course, any discourse on this subject is wholly conjectural.
