[Star Wars] What if Darth Maul killed Obi-Wan instead of Qui-Gon?

**SCENARIO:** Obi-Wan's eagerness to prove himself causes him to push forward in the battle with Maul. After being separated from his master by an energy barrier, he is left alone with Maul. Though he puts up a good fight, even dealing a near fatal blow to Maul, he succumbs to defeat. With the barrier released, Qui-Gon is able to defeat a weakened Maul. 

Qui-Gon is in charge of training a young Anakin Skywalker.

How would this affect Anakin and the series?

*  Qui-Gon already had shaky relations with the Jedi Council like Anakin, so he could have related more as opposed to Obi-Wan.

* Dooku said Qui-Gon knew the council was corrupt/authoritarian, and could have related more to Anakin's concerns as opposed to Obi-Wan.

* He was also known to disobey the Jedi Code, and could have related more. Obi-Wan said this was a major reason as to why Qui-Gon wasn't on the council.

* He also had a master that became a Sith, and could reason with Anakin not to turn towards that path on a more personal level had he lived to see Dooku's Sith reveal.

* He was also the only one initially not skeptical that the Sith had returned. So he had wisdom where others did not.

Basically, imo, Qui-Gon would have related to Anakin way better than Obi-Wan did. Obi-wan was more of a strict, anal older brother, while Qui-Gon was more of a guiding, wise, and understanding father figure. 

I honestly think he could have stopped Anakin's downfall and Anakin would have just ended up like a younger replica of Qui-Gon.
