Qui-Gon's Unique Force Perspective

According to one intriguing Star Wars fan theory, Qui-Gon Jinn, the wise Jedi Master from "Star Wars," is seen in a new light. While he is held responsible for recruiting and training Anakin Skywalker, who later becomes Darth Vader, it's believed that Qui-Gon had a unique understanding of the Force. Unlike other Jedi who feared the dark side, Qui-Gon believed that embracing darkness was essential to bring balance to the Force. A one-shot comic delves into Qui-Gon's crisis of faith before "Episode 1," shedding light on his true intentions.

The prevailing Jedi doctrine states that the light side of the Force is good, while the dark side is evil. However, Qui-Gon sensed a deeper truth, realizing that the Jedi Order had grown rigid in their beliefs. He believed that darkness and light were necessary for true balance and was willing to accept this lesson from the Force. He saw the need to confront darkness to restore balance and made it a personal revelation.

This theory suggests that Qui-Gon and the Jedi Council had differing interpretations of the prophecy concerning Anakin Skywalker. While the Council viewed Anakin as a threat due to his potential for darkness, Qui-Gon believed this darkness was the key to fulfilling the prophecy and bringing balance to the Force. If Qui-Gon had lived to train Anakin himself, it's possible that Anakin's journey could have taken a different, more balanced path, as Qui-Gon understood the lesson that the Jedi had lost their way.
