For over forty years the Star Wars films have had followers saying what if. What if Anakin hadn’t fallen in love? What if Darth Maul lived? Followers have performed with timelines and created theories surrounding completely different facets of the story, particularly the finish of fights. One of the finest questions followers got here up with was what if Qui-Gon Jinn survived the battle often known as the Duel of the Fates?
What occurred at the duel of the fates?
Darth Maul first made his look on Tatooine trying to find the Queen and her ship. Later, we discover him bearing down on younger Anakin as they race to the ship to go away the planet. That is the place Qui-Gon and Maul first face-off. Their quick duel in the sand left a bitter style in Maul’s mouth as Qui-Gon hops aboard the ship and races off into house.
Towards the finish of the film when the Queen was trying to flee the planet of Naboo, the pair meet once more. This time Obi-Wan was with Qui-Gon at the begin of the battle. Nonetheless, the two get separated by power fields mid-battle and Qui-Gon is pressured to battle the Sith alone. Qui-Gon manages to slice the Sith in half earlier than his personal accidents turn out to be too nice to face up to. Obi-Wan’s promise to his grasp at his dying begins Anakin’s journey into the Power and finally leads him to the Darkish Facet.
Alternate storylines the place Qui-Gon survived
Some followers requested on Reddit, what if Qui-Gon had survived the battle? There are a couple of theories floating round, together with one from my household discussions. If Qui-Gon had survived, then Anakin would have by no means been educated by Obi-Wan. It is because Obi-Wan was nonetheless a padawan, and it will have been Qui-Gon’s responsibility to proceed his coaching. The one Jedi at the moment that might have educated Anakin was Mace. So, he would have discovered a completely completely different set of abilities and by no means have seen Padme once more. It will be the finish of the line of Skywalker.
One of the followers on Reddit had one other principle, if Qui-Gon had survived, Anakin wouldn’t have turned to the Darkish Facet for solutions. Doubtlessly this may imply that Qui-Gon would have been tasked with the Queen’s care, and he would have found the clone military. Qui-Gon would have disagreed with the Jedi Council about the use of the military and result in his leaving and becoming a member of Dooku to guard the realms from the clone military. Palpatine wouldn’t have ordered the execution of Order 66 and as a substitute watched the Jedi skinny their very own ranks by civil warfare.
They proceed to theorize that the Jedi on each side would start adopting parts from the Darkish facet and start working towards forbidden strategies. The eventual downfall of the Jedi order wouldn’t carry the hope that the unique storyline requires and so the resurrection of the Insurgent Alliance and battle till the Empire is destroyed wouldn’t be the finish. Many extra fan theories are on the market every a bit of completely different and distinctive.
‘Star Wars Infinites’ is a what-if comedian collection
One of the finest examples of an alternate universe is the “Star Wars Infinite” collection. The collection takes the unique three films and creates a distinct end result for every. All the outcomes are bleak compared to the unique tales. Members on the Reddit thread advised the comics for many who wish to see what would occur if issues had turned out in another way.
For films like Star Wars, there may be at all times a fan base that makes use of their creativeness to recreate the nice tales. The films don’t even cowl all the particulars the books have which go away sure data of the collection in the arms of those that transcend watching the films and animations. In a fantasy world, creativeness provides many depths and the chance of alternate endings.
