Death of Qui-Gon Jinn in The ghost threat It was really shocking, putting the life of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi in what would finally be a fatal collision course. Even so, many fans see their death as the will of strength … something that had to happen to the empire of any Palpatine terratine. But the truth is that Qui-Gon simply sealed his own destiny for the prevention of soldiers on Naboo to attack Darth Maul.
Everyone remembers the scene in which Maul is revealed, and Qui-Gon tells the soldiers to retire because he and Obi-Wan “will handle this.” It is a favorite moment of fans that precedes the patient three -road light saber duel that is for far most The ghost threat. But thanks to the events of Order 66, we know that if Qui-Gon could overcome their pride and order Naboo soldiers who shoot at Darth Maul, he could surely have avoided his death.
Whenever The ghost threat He came out, who discarding those troops made sense … after all, what could regular soldiers do against a dark man of the Sith? But in Sith revengeWe see how effective they were the clone soldiers to kill Jedi because the most talented space magicians can only divert so many shots smarter at the same time. Qui-Gon Jinn had no less than 18 soldiers To their order, and if they ordered them to shoot against Darth Maul, the Sith could be defeated and the death of the Jedi avoided.
Qui-Gon may simply try to preserve live and was worried that Maul had gone through these troops as a hot light saber through butter. But his choice is still irresponsible because a Sith represented a great existential threat to everything on the planet and, for neglecting, all in the galaxy. If Qui-Gon Jinn would like to prevent as many deaths as possible, he should have been willing to sacrifice the live soldiers who bet and Obi-Wan would be enough to stop this new threat.
AND wax A bet: the Sith was able to overcome and finally kill the teacher Jedi, and it was a miracle that the incipient Padawan Obi-Wan Kenobi was able to defeat Darth Maul. If Qui-Gon Jinn accepted the sacrifice of military assistance, he would have done more than avoid his own death … he would have stacked the probabilities in his favor against the Jedi found A thousand years. And I consider that the Jedi train with laser remote, Master Jedi should have known that Maul would divert 18 blords constantly shooting everything at once.
Qui-Gon Jinn could have been a wise and powerful Jedi, but the sad truth is that his death was caused by his own pride. He had a small army to his order that was willing and could face Darth Maul, and we know for the events of Order 66 that even the most skilled force users cannot defect a ton of directed laser fire. Fortunately, Qui-Gon’s death had an advantage: poor Liam Neeson no longer had to seem that he cared as he delivered Gobbleygok lines over the Midiclorians between boring scenes with a CGI space rabbit.
