[Star Wars] What would have happened in Episodes II-III if Qui-Gon Jinn never died in Episode I?

What would have happened if he never died? How would he have reacted to the clone wars? Would he have trained anakin better? What would happen?

Everything would change. Anakin developed a severe fear of separation and loss while a child. This started with leaving his mother but was counter balanced with gaining a father figure in Qui-gonn. 

Then soon after he lost both parental figures in his young life. Obi Wan would go on to train him but that was more of an older brother taking care of a little sibling than a Father-son relationship. Anakin as he got older challenged Obi’s authority over him in the same way a younger brother challenges the elder.

We can see the direct link to the fear of losing padme as an adult. Interestingly, that relationship started when he was a boy meeting qui gon and after losing his mother as a teenager. 

So if Qui Gon survived, Anakin keeps his father figure who can help him separate healthily from his attachment to his mother. 

Qui Gon also was a more flexible teacher than Obi Wan. Obi Wan is the Ideal Jedi Knight And Master. He was skilled, brave, and balanced. He had the temperament for the Jedi code. 

He fell in love with someone and even saw her murdered in front of him by the same person who killed his ‘father’ but ultimately had faith in the Force and let go of his attachments. 

Palps would struggle to temp Anakin because Anakin’s Sin wasn’t falling into Love, it was being unable to let go. Qui Gon still being alive would be a huge help In lessening that fear of loss in the first place but also in helping remove attachments generally. 

Now Anakin had other flaws as we all do. Anakin was extremely arrogant. Prideful in his abilities and dismissive of his weaknesses. 

Being ‘the chosen one’ doesn’t help as it’s both a password to cut corners and an almost unachievable expectation. In reality, he should have never even known about that prophecy. 

But fundamentally, a living Qui Gon would help mitigate Anakin’s fatal sin of fear of loss.
