[Star Wars] The Jedi sent Qui-Gon Jinn to negoiate on their behalf in Ep. 1 and that re-started 80+ years of war across the galaxy. Could the war have been avoided if someone else was sent.

To start with, the Clone Wars only lasted about ~~6~~ 3 years.  (the time between the first battle of Geonosis and the execution of Order 66.)  The entirely of the war was orchestrated by Sheev Palpatine, with every major event being planned well in advance.  If someone else had been on that trade federation ship they would've been stonewalled or killed and the invasion of Naboo would've gone on as planned. Negotiations were never in the cards.  Avoiding war is only possible if the leadership of both sides doesn't *want* war.  Since Palpatine was controlling both sides and he very much wanted the war, no, nothing could've changed the outcome.
