      Which still makes almost no sense. Qui-Gon is going to stop Anakin from falling in love with padme or fearing for her or his mother's death? Not that it matters. Palpatine could just implement order 66 and wipe out every Jedi (even young Anakin) except Yoda and maybe Mace Windu and then it comes down to who ever palpatine's apprentice is, the army of clones and palpatine against two Jedi.

      @@Bo_OnXbox that is assuming a lot of things. And he can't allow them to get married. He isn't in control of their lives nor speaks for the Jedi Order. Maybe you mean he would have known of their marriage and been a confidant? That relies on Qui-Gon being clever enough to figure it out or Anakin with all his hypocrisies and lack of trust (helped by palpatine growing it--which Anakin would have still had a relationship with Palpatine) to tell him.
      Qui-Gon was a rogue but he still ultimately believed in the Jedi Order and followed their rules. Not sure he would have been completely welcoming of the marriage or at the least of hiding it from the Jedi.
      It ultimately comes down to the same thing that happened without him. A battle between Palpatine and Anakin's Jedi mentor over Anakin's soul/humanity and Palpatine had the advantage of shipping Jedi off wherever and engineering ways to put them in situations to kill them. Palpatine could have continually had Jinn on some far-flung world away from overseeing Anakin during the war and then attempting ad nauseum to get him killed. Jinn was already starting to show his age in TPM, even if he got into shape there is no guarantee during a war he'd survive. My money would still be on Palpatine to win Anakin over and eradicate the Jedi including Qui-Gon. Perhaps even Kenobi who wouldn't have beaten Anakin due to Skywalkers volatile emotions compromising his duel with Obi-Wan. It would have left solely Yoda. If Anakin wasn't swayed because of Qui-Gon...well that pesky order 66 would have killed him or exiled him for eternity.
      I will say Qui-Gon surviving puts in to question dooku being corrupted and the whole sifo-dyas saga. Maybe THAT is enough, combined with Jinn MAYBE saving Anakin to avoid this whole thing.

    • @TheKyrix82
      @TheKyrix82 Год назад +2

      Actually, that has zero basis. He was on the trail of these two to begin with, and Anakin wasn't a full on factor by this point. In Legends, Maul wasn't even a Sith, just an assassin who THOUGHT he was a Sith, Plagueis was still alive, Palpatine didn't kill him until he was elected Chancellor, and Maul died immediately after.

      and this is where the sequel trilogy effed. The moment Kylo killed Han he should be being established as the big baddie, instead of trying to reverse course and 'redeem' him. The reason he should have killed Snoke was the rule of 2 so he'd be strong enough to kill Rey (which he should have come close to doing right after in a rematch of their first fight).

The reason the song for this battle is called Duel of the Fates, is due not just to Qui and Obi dueling for their own fate, but they are fighting for the future fate of Ani as well.

Through Power I gain Victory...". I seriously doubt Obi-wan would know the sith creed, but he exemplified it here.

      He did absolutely. The oldest and wisest of the Jedi, learned how to bring balance to the Force. Even the Nightsisters knew how to use the dark side without it corrupting them, for that matter. Obi-wan just had the resolve not to let it corrupt him here. Mace Windu's light saber style, Vaapad, actually uses the darkside to work properly (none of this is in these movies of course, so not really spoilers, all books and stuff), he was able to use the aggression of a Sith in his fighting style, and even feed off of his opponents dark force power. Making him an even match for whoever he was fighting (Now you do want to remember that tid bit for the third movie). Plo Koon could use Force lightning too. I think he called it electric judgement or something, and there was a big controversy with the Jedi council about it, and they proved he could do it without feeling rage, but still didnt like him to do it. Well I nerded out way harder than i thought i would there. Jeez.

      shadowstalker1120 I thought it was more to do that Maul sensed both was too great a challenge even for him, so he used every chance he could to separate the master and apprentice. He probably kicked away Obi-Wan because as the apprentice, it is assumed that he isn’t as strong as his master, and is therefor easier to beat, so Maul could go all out and kill the stronger and more experienced master first, making the fight with Obi-Wan a pushover. At the same time, killing the master is a good way to enrage the apprentice and make them easier to fight and trick since they’re ‘clouded with rage’, as all Jedi strive to resist.
      Just a thought, but the fight can be read several ways

      It was a bit more strategic than just sizing the pair up and focusing on the easy target; Qui Gon, though not on the Council, was a well respected Jedi Master as well as a gifted duelist. Defeating him would prove that not only had the Sith returned to the forefront, but that they were formidable against even some of the best the Jedi had to offer.

    When Obi-wan charges through the gate he's in a rage. Channeling anger. Tapping the dark side and unleashing his aggression, which is why Maul bests him and disarms him. It's not something Obi knows how to control. It isn't until that moment of rage passes that he is able to gather himself and focus to turn the tables on Maul.

      Let me explain, if you've seen starkiller, he was stabbed by a lightsaber and survived just fine. And the saber cauterized the wound, stopping blood. But the reason qui gon died was because of two things: first, the saber likely hit an organ. Second, the organs were likely staring to fail by the time obi wan got to qui gon. Qui gon was likely using all his force to hold out. If obi wan had killed maul faster qui gon would have likely survived his wound.

    What really aided in Qui-Gon's death was Obi-Wan's fear. Fear of losing his master. He was too well bonded and connected with his padawan not to sense his padawan's growing fear, which threw him off balance. That's when Maul saw the opening and took it.

  • @BiggestDawgEver
    @BiggestDawgEver 4 года назад +6

    In the novelization, it is stated that Qui Gon Jinn is among the greatest swordsmen in the Jedi order. He was trained by Dooku, being the finest of his time before leaving the order, who was in turn trained by Yoda. It is also worth mentioning that the relationship between master and apprentice is akin to parent and child as the master is the most prominent adult in a padawan learner's life. This remains the nature of their relationship until the padawan graduates to knighthood at which time the relationship dynamic switches to more of a fraternal or sibling level comradeship. In the novels, it is also revealed that Obi-wan nearly washed out of the order until, when he was almost ready to age out of the program and be relegated to the force using agri-core, Yoda forces Qui-Gon to take on a new apprentice. During the novelization, Qui-gon muses to himself that Obi-wan is on the path to become an even better swordsman than he. During the dual, he becomes aware that he cannot defeat this Sith alone and that he is just trying to survive long enough to wear him down so Obi-Wan can hopefully finish him. This is why he meditates while they are separated by the red energy field. To gather his strength and buy himself some time. When Obi-wan watches his master, his father figure and his best friend die he momentarily flies into a rage, teetering on the brink of the dark side. The power flows through him and he momentarily overwhelms Maul, but because he is out of control, Maul gains the upper hand again forcing him in close to a "lockup" so he can surprise him with another powerful force push. It is when Obi-wan, while dangling above the pit, calms himself and becomes attuned to his surroundings, he feels Qui-Gon's saber and draws it to him while using the force to hurl himself back up to the ledge above.
    The real question I like to ponder, is if Qui-gon had not died and become Anakin's master, would Anakin still have fallen to the dark side? I speculate no. Qui-gon was more aware of everyone's emotional states and had a less rigid interpretation of the jedi way. I feel like Anakin may not have chafed as much, in Qui-gon's more fluid style. He also butted heads with the council and might have helped Anakin navigate his emotional turmoil better.

      Qui-Gon was an adherent of the Living Force, which studies life energy, as opposed to the Cosmic Force, which is more omnipresent energy. The Council refused to give him a seat among them because followers of the Living Force hold emotional attachments, which the Council outlawed through the Jedi Creed (in the EU, Luke fundamentally opposed the idea of cutting off emotional ties, as noted in The Jedi Path).

The chancellor's office in particular, with the bright red color scheme with limited shadowing is particularly cartoonish. TPM has probably aged best, since they relied on mostly practical effects, limiting CGI for non-set related SFX. Attack of the Clones looks like hot garbage. Like they said in Jurassic Park, "Just because you could doesn't mean you should". Bottom line is Lucas needed a producer with oversight over him who could chime in when he went overboard, like Marcia Lucas (his oscar winning ex-wife) did on the OT.

    I’ve always thought the reason Obi-Wan had so much energy when he attacked Maul was that Obi-Wan had time to rest. He wasn’t exerting himself for a couple minutes, and could thus catch his breath.

    IDK if I'm right but Qui Gon used the same form as Yoda, Ataru I think it's called. They were in too much of an enclosed area for him to fully utilize his ability, thus, Maul had the advantage.

    I believe Kenobi is praised for defeating the first Sith Lord in combat in a millennia but it's also chastised because dismembering or cutting an opponent in half is frowned upon by the Jedi... But damn is he good at it

    The entire "Duel of the Fates"fight with the trio and the scene where Obi Wan goes a bit more Dark Side and the fight scene is so quick and aggressive are two of my favourite moments of "Episode 1"(among many, because I loved the prequels, even Jar Jar. Thats right, you heard me!)

    After watching clone wars and rebels, this fight has an entirely different meaning, this was the start of over thirty years of animosity between these two. Plus when Qui-Gon fell, Obi, briefly, touched the dark side, as we could see with his more aggressive style, and of course this was the reason Maul was able to throw him with the Force, the light wasn't shielding him. Great duel, a great showcase of Jedi vs Sith in Episode I.
