  • Would Qui Gon Jinn win in a fight, or a better question, was he more powerful, than Mace Windu?
    Two of the most underrated characters in the movies, who unnfortunately didn’t get as much screen time as we’d have liked, would ultimately make for a great conversation in regards to who was the stronger Jedi and duelist.
    I’ll first start by explaining the character back stories of both, diving into their unique force powers, and then coming to a final and realistic conclusion to this answer.

    It's a shame we only see Qui Gon in Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace with Darth Maul and Emperor Palpatine, but his story lives on in the Star Wars EU, books, and comics. I really like the comics, and encourage you to check them out at the book store or library when you're bored on a day off.
    Let me know who you think would win. I really appreciate all of your support, thanks so much for watching guys, I'll see you in tomorrow's episode of Star Wars Theory. Take care and MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!!!

      Show us the link to that explanation from Lucas.
      Palpatine showed Mace Windu all corners until he knew Anakin was coming. What defeated person would have such a remaining strength to use this powerfull force lightning and push Mace Windu dozens of meters outside the building. I like Mace Windu, he should have had more action in the movies but he was no match for Palpatine.

    I think mace would have won the lightsaber duel...But I think Qui Gon Jinn was more connected with the force and that's why he was the one able to find the way to immortality through the force and taught it to Yoda and Obi Wan as I think the movies implied. That makes Qui Gon Jinn more powerful in my mind :)

      Exactly, and the author keeps bringing up the fake theory Sidious threw the fight. That is very idiotic.

  • @infoluminux
    @infoluminux 7 лет назад +413

    I'm agree with you except for one thing: Palpatine didn't lose on purpose... Mace actually won... and if you have a doubt about it, then see the revenge of the sith novelization (which is canon) or hear George Lucas speech which confirms this. Basically Mace won thanks to Vaapad, which uses the dark emotions (like anger, despair, and so on) to empower the user. Mace got ultra powerfull during that fight, but the emotions didn't come from Sidious (who is aware of how Vaapad works and was able to supress his emotions), but from Anakin, who would make Windu stronger and stronger as he came closer to the fight. That's why Mace won, and it was a legitimate victory. However, Mace was so focused in killing Palpatine that his shatter point ability didn't show him Anakin's betrayal.

    • @tonp2917
      @tonp2917 7 лет назад +4

      It is the old story again and again. Show me the explanation of George Lucas saying Windu would have won. Books are from various writers, not really 100% having to do with the movies. If they like Mace Windu they say he would have won. Palpatine was waiting for Anakin, that was his plan, showing Anakin he might loose. Anakin needed Palpatine to save Padme from the death he saw in his dreams. What defeated man does have that much remaining power to force lightning Mace Windu and after that throwing him out of the window by dozens of meters.

    • @AKSBSU
      @AKSBSU 7 лет назад +32

      +Ton Postma And Palpatine also melted his own face with his force lightning being reflected back at him on purpose? I'm not buying it. Palpatine was overall more powerful, but in that particular fight, Mace's style gave him enough of an edge to best him.

      Yeah he actually did let that happen on purpose. That was actually his true Sith form and used the "injuries" as an excuse to finally reveal it. It also prompted Anakin to see the old man in "despair". I remember reading somewhere that it was canon.

      I agree but I think its because he's basically the greatest duelist in the modern U. This is just speculation by me but I think Qui-Gon was stronger in the force, he was the first to master becoming a force ghost and broke through and wound up teaching Yoda who in turn taught Obi.

      Age does effect them. From what I read and understand Qui-Gon knew he couldn’t keep up with Maul as his stamina was simply running out. Yes the force kept him going but I’m the end he was getting tired and this concerned him during the fight with Darth Maul.

  • @kyleflanagan963
    @kyleflanagan963 7 лет назад +4

    The consensus seems to be definite that Mace Windu is more powerful and would win...
    ...I think that the fight is closer than people assume. 1) Darth Maul was an insanely skilled swordsman. The Clone Wars cartoon shows him holding off Palps for a short while, and he was trained from birth to be the ultimate warrior. I would argue that Maul was near or equal to Mace Windu in terms of lightsaber skills. Despite this, Qui-gon still held his own for quite a while.
    2) Qui-Gon's style of choice was severely limited in the area where he and Maul were fighting, preventing a lot of the wide-acrobatics that make form 4 as deadly as it is.
    3) Although Mace Windu did beat Palpatine fair and square, his Vaapad gave him advantages that other Jedi would not. Essentially he was a water type going up against a fire type.
    4) We never got to directly see Qui-Gon in his prime. He was older and clearly didn't have the stamina to fight long term by the time he dueled Maul.
    Honestly, I think that Qui-Gon, Mace Windu, and Count Dooku are all around the same level as each other. In their respective prime capacities, and duels between the three could go any way.
    But in the end, I think that Windu had the edge in Lightsaber combat, while Qui-Gon had a stronger understanding of the Force. So while Qui-Gon was the better Jedi, Windu was the better warrior.
    But, that's just me.

The Sith fall, the Jedi disband or join the grey Jedi, and balance is restored to the force.

    Nobody ever brings up what if Qui Gon threw the fight with Darth Maul so that he could become immortal with the force he was the first to become a spirit Ghost he trained Yoda how to use that form then Obi Wan learned from Yoda. We yet have to see Mace Windu as a spirit Ghost or any other Jedi. It was never explained how Darth Vader learned how to become a spirit Ghost by the time Yoda and Obi Wan learned that technique Vader was in the dark side so nobody with that knowledge could of teached him because only the Jedi Yoda and Obi Wan knew about it..

    @lafleurR1ddl3 7 лет назад +1

    I love Qui Gon Jinn, but Mace Windu would absolutely win.
    One thing that pissed me off about this video is the fact that you think Sidious purposely lost to Windu. George Lucas himself has said that Windu did overpower and out duel Sidious. Sidious may be an extremely good duelist, but there are more factors to consider about the Windu/Sidious duel. I think the biggest factors to take into account are these: 1. Sidious was much older than Windu. I don't care if you're a Sith Lord or a Jedi Master, if you are a human, age will slow you down, make you tire quickly, and also make you weak.
    Windu was practically in his prime. He is usually considered to be one of the top 3 lightsaber duelists in the galaxy. He was trained as a jedi nearly his entire life and as an adolescent became Master Yoda's apprentice. Windu had several unique and uncommon force abilities, most notably shatterpoint.
    But he also uses the rage and hatred of the Sith to make himself more powerful. Windu absolutely defeated Sidious. Windu over the course of his lifetime has sparred with the greatest duelists in the galaxy. Dooku, Qui Gon Jinn, Yoda, etc.
    Sidious was definitely out of practice because he had to keep up the charade of being Chancellor.
    Who was Sidious sparring with?
    The answer, he wasn't even sparring at all.
    Windu came and kicked his goddamn ass and exposed just how weak and afraid Sidious truly is.

    Several times it's mentioned that Qui Gonn, Yoda, Mace, and Dooku could all fight one another to a stalemate. However, Qui was too old and his age did make a difference in his skills as he'd get tired a lot faster. If both Mace and Qui were in their prime, I honestly feel they wouldn't be able to touch one another.
    Also, Lucas already stated that Mace beat Palpatine by overpowering him, he was only faking injury after he was defeated.

    Windu may have greater martial prowess but Qui Gon was much wiser and had a deeper understanding of the force. It was he who correctly idenfitifed Anakin as the chosen one (something Windu fervently refused to believe) and insisted he be trained. He also immediately and correctly concluded that Maul was a sith, something that was also received with skepticism by Windu and the council. Windu even arrogantly said that he "[did] not believe the sith could have returned without [the jedi] knowing". I believe Qui Gon's wisdom, understanding, and clairvoyance exceeded even that of Yoda himself. It was also Qui Gon who was the first to learn how to become one with the force and taught the skill to Yoda and Obi Wan. Windu's wisdom and understanding of the force was comparatively shallow. He was a incredibly gifted swordsman but not much more than that.

Its actually stated by Master Yoda, that Mace mastery of his fighting style, Yoda stated that 1 on 1 Mace could never be defeated, because he used this style to harness his opponents energy and strengths against themselves, actually drawing on them. Yoda did not state it was only sith but anyone. Therefore based on Yoda, He could go against sidious one on one in a duel and best him since Sidiouds use of the dark side would only empoer Mace,. Although force powers give the advantage to Sidious. So for me its Mace, just based on what Ive read and my opinion.

    I think Qui Gon is severely underestimated. In his prime, before dedicating himself more fully to the spiritual side of the force(and getting much older), he was an absolute beast in battle. A grey Jedi.
    That being said, Mace has also been underestimated a bit, as well. Also, I find the idea that the Sith Lord would put his life in the hands of Anakin/in the hands of chance, on purpose, a bit shaky.

    Gonna say Windu. Shatterpoint would've worked (probably with difficulty) on Jinn. Jinn had to modify his saber style 'down'. Windu modified his saber style 'up'. Based on the books... Windu liked to fight.

    Maul was never alone when he battled Qui-gon and OB1, Sidious had been guiding Maul against Qui-gon since the ambush on Tattooine "to take down the master first", then the padawan won't be a problem". While OB1 is detained from the battle, Qui-gon is fighting Maul and Sidious alone, with Sidious guiding Maul against Qui-gon. Maul did not fight Qui-gon alone, Maul needed assistance from his master hiding in the shadows to kill Qui-gon, but OB1 was not as easy a target as Maul and his master had thought! Windu battled only Sidious", not him and his apprentice, as Qui-gon had done.

    I think Mace Windu would squash Qui-Gon Jinn in combat. It is not even particularly close, as I think it is with Mace Windu vs. Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus. So I agree with your conclusion, except that I think you underestimate the gap a bit. It is still a matter of some debate what happened between Mace Windu and Palpatine, but regardless, it is pretty clear George Lucas intended Mace Windu to be fairly close to Palpatine i power. Qui-Gon didn't last long against Palpatine's apprentice Darth Maul once they got separated from Qui-Gon's apprentice, Obi-Wan.I think Mace and Yoda clearly both handled themselves significantly better against Sidious than Qui-Gon did against Maul, and Sidious is way above Maul in combat ability and overall power. The only argument I see in favour of Qui-Gon's power (over Mace) is his discovery of the ability to retain his identity after death. While this is very impressive, it is not a combat feat.

    Better question would be who is the better Jedi master? Windy may be one of the greatest Jedi warriors of all time but his judgement is flawed often and his personal feelings for Anakin could be construed as one of the reasons for the fall of the Jedi. Qui Gon was more attuned to the will of the force and had he lived in episode one I have no doubt things would have gone very differently. He didn't let politics cloud his judgement and he would have changed Anakin greatly from an early age with his philosophy and ideas about the force. Windy had more political cunning than wisdom. He thought much more like a sith in that way.

  • @dontknow1950
    @dontknow1950 7 лет назад

    I think Qui Gon is one of the greatest Jedi of all time purely due to his discovery of the living force and his practice of force consciousness and is extremely underrated, I would consider Mace Windu a better Lightsaber Duellist, and I believe he was more powerful in the force in certain aspects. Plus, George Lucas even stated that Sidious completely underestimated Windu in their duel and was genuinely defeated, however Sidious knew that Anakin would arrive soon, so it wasn't that big of a deal when he was defeated, but Windu genuinely defeated Sidious in lightsaber combat.

    To all the people who debate if palps lost on purpose or not should examine the scene more closely. Palpatine lost the lightsaber fight BEFORE Anakin came into the room. Anakin came into the room when Mace had his lightsaber at the throat of Palpetine and Palpetine crawling backwards. At THAT point Palpetine noticed Anakin who just entered the room. Palps used the ploy of how weak he was and that the jedi are trying to kill him and take over and consequently him losing the chance to save Padme to try and sucker in Anakin in wich he succeeds. Palps only had ´´unlimited powaaah´´ because Mace was literaly disarmed by Anakin who otherwise was able to deflect the force lightning with his saber.

    Mace in terms of combat (quite easily), but I think Qui-Gon is a much more centred and rational individual. He also sees the woods from the trees and is more in touch with the present, whereas Mace, as part of the Jedi Council is fixated on the future... to a flaw.

    In my opinion Mace wins hands down. This is simply because Qui Gon (at least to my knowledge) was more of a a force user, than a lightsaber duelist and lightsaber combat is where Mace truly shines. Not to mention the face that Mace enjoys fighting where as Qui Gon would rather talk then fight. Mace has mastered every form of lightsaber combat and is a sight to behold on the battlefield. Qui Gon only had Ataru and while he does have exceptional skill., it's just not up to Mace's level. I also think that if Qui Gon was compleatly in the dark side, Mace's Vaapad would counter effectively and would play out in a similar manner (though not as intense) in his duel with Sideous. This is all my opinion, and it is an interesting matchup.

    I hate how people only speak of Mace Windu's dark side adventures as his lightsaber techniques, He literally used the dark side of the force, for crying out loud the man can control force lightning. The fact he could literally use dark side powers without falling to the dark side is his true advantage. If anakin hadn't distracted him he could have easily suppressed the lightning palpatine threw at him with his bare hands. There are so many more reasons that mace windu would be next to unstoppable.

    After reading some comics and watching their fighting styles, like You did, I believe that Qui would win. Even at his 60 y/o state, he kept up with Maul. Qui Also used force boosts, which he would undoubtedly use in a Mace duel. And with Qui securing his place in the light, mace wouldn't be able to use his power. Now, if they were both around 25-30, I believe Qui would have an even better chance. I would give the battle a 40/60 chance, favorited on Qui. If in Episode one, I believe the battle would be a 49.9/50.1 chance, still favoring Qui. It would be quite the duel. I would love to see it animated!

  • @Warriorcats64
    @Warriorcats64 6 лет назад

    Mace is the better lightsaber fighter, but Qui Gonn is clearly more powerful and clearly wiser.
    Points to Windu for developing his style to tame his demons, but Qui Gonn just went after The Force for what it is, he put his will to it by the end...something Mr. Republic Lover definitely failed at, but then, even Yoda slipped.
    It should also be noted that Qui-Gonn underestimated Maul a bit, but he clearly knew where things were going by the reactor shaft, hence the meditation. Maul would've lost in a wider area. Windu for his talk of shatterpoints failed with the big shatterpoint of them all and egged him on.
    He probably did legit defeat Sidious at the saber, but he couldn't deflect the lightning all the way as Yoda could, AND he didn't underestimate Sidious as Jinn did Maul [to be fair, with Qui-Gonn it wasn't out of cockiness so much as a lack of actual practice with Sith dealings].
    But the Force Ghosting seals it.

You add on top of that Vaapad's advantage of using dark side energy against itself and the stronger the dark side power the greater Windu's advantage would be in a duel. I mean, honestly, it should start and end with George's take on the matter since he wrote it and directed that particular film and that particular scene.

Also due to the fact they fought as Padawans would give Jinn the edge in his youth. I think that you just purely underestimate Jinn and overestimated Mace out of favoritism.
    I mean, Jinn is more calculated then he seems and that illusion is muddled because of his apprentice, Obi-wan.
