Why Qui-Gon Jinn Wasn't Allowed on the Jedi Council - Star Wars Explained

QUI-GON IS GIVEN A SEAT ON THE COUNCIL FINALLY (CANON) - Star Wars Explained: Master Qui-Gon Jinn was always one to follow his own beliefs. He was denied a seat on the Jedi Council, despite being a Jedi Master, and highly respected, too. He was finally given a seat in the canon novel master and apprentice. However...he would lose something he cherishes more than receiving a title. by Star Wars Theory

Star Wars REVEALS Why Dooku Left the Jedi Order NEW CANON STORY EXPLAINED: Count Dooku is one of the coolest and most underrated characters in Star Wars. Trained by Master Yoda, and Master to Qui-Gon Jinn who taught Obi-Wan Kenobi, to teach Anakin Skywalker...he's kind of like Anakin's great grandfather so to speak. But that's not why I think he's awesome. He was just so different than the bland and dry Jedi who acted like robots. He felt the Jedi should adhere to the force, not the politics of the republic. by Star Wars Theory

Why Qui-Gon Jinn Secretly DISLIKED the Jedi - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars the Phantom Menace - Qui-Gon Jinn was introduced to us as the Jedi Master who defied the council rules and therefore was not on the council itself. There was more to his defiance, in which he actually disliked the Jedi Temple rules in how they trained their new jedi younglings into jedihood from Obi-Wan Kenobi's point of view. I think this is why Qui-Gon made Obi-Wan promise to train the boy, because he knew he'd do it his way, instead of the council's. by Star Wars Theory

Dooku Finally Reveals WHY he Told Obi-Wan About Sidious!: At long last, we finally know! It was always a wonder as to why Dooku would actually reveal to Obi-Wan Kenobi that there was a dark lord, Darth Sidious, behind the Senate. Was it because he felt for his former pupil, Qui-Gon Jinn, and wanted Kenobi to be safe? Was it because he wanted to kill Sidious and take over the galaxy, himself?

What if Anakin DIDN'T Drop when Qui-Gon Told him to?! - Star Wars Theory FAN-FIC: What if Anakin Skywalker didn't drop when Qui-Gon Jinn told him to as Darth Maul raced towards them? I feel many things would have changed in the galaxy, let's see how it would play out scene by scene. Would Qui-Gon Jinn take him back to the Jedi Temple and discuss it with Mace Windu and Yoda?

Why Obi-Wan Kenobi Didn't Train Luke Skywalker Earlier (Canon) - Star Wars Explained: Why did Obi-Wan Kenobi train Luke Skywalker earlier? I believe if he had gone with his gut instinct and ignored the nay sayers, we would have a completely different timeline. A much stronger Luke would have grown and his accomplishments would have been far superior to what we saw in Return of the Jedi. Obi-Wan would probably have gone to see Yoda in the flesh, and the events would take a different turn, for sure. What do you think? Should he have listened to Owen? Or ignored him and done what he felt was right to train the boy? by Star Wars Theory

The FIRST Time Palpatine Met Anakin Skywalker - Star Wars Explained: Today’s episode will cover something I found to be interesting in the comic series Obi wan and Anakin, issue number 1. During Anakin’s teenage years after episode 1, he was practicing at the Jedi Temple with a hologram training droid that he altered to look, move, and attack just like Darth Maul. As he practiced his moves and showcased his abilities, students and jedi alike watched in interest from the sides. However, from the balcony above, Obi Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu and Chancellor Palpatine (Darth Sidiolus) observed the young Anakin in admiration, speaking of him as palpatine asked many questions. As Obi Wan answered Master Windu’s confusion as to why the boy was fighting what looked like Darth Maul, exclaiming he always porposed detailed questions for him about their duel on Naboo, Palpatine interrupted as he said come now, my jedi friends, a boy of his age altering a training droid in this way, simply to impress h by Star Wars Theory

What Qui-Gon Jinn Thought of Anakin Becoming Vader (Tells Obi-Wan Kenobi): In Obi-Wan Kenobi's life, two people were at the pinnacle of importance to him, Anakin and of course his Jedi Master, Qui-Gon Jinn. In the book Dark Lord the Rise of Darth Vader, we get to learn about Qui-Gon giving his thoughts to Obi-Wan Kenobi regarding Anakin Skywalker turning to the dark side and becoming Darth Vader. I hope we get something like this in the obi-wan kenobi show on disney plus. I think it'd be amazing to see Liam Neeson return to play Qui-Gon Jinn, once again since the phantom menace.
