what if darth maul killed Obi-Wan (Page 1 of 2)

Not only that, who would have Luke gone to? It would have ruined the whole plot

Obi-Wan dying in place of Qui-Gon, then I assume it is Qui-Gon who kills Maul? If so, then Anakin would become his padawan learner, and wherever Obi-Wan and Anakin would be, it would be Qui-Gon and Anakin. So Only some of the main storyline of the PT would be changed. Anakin's training would be much greater, if you noticed he quotes Qui-Gon in The Clone Wars. Sidious would still construct the Clone Wars, Jango would still attempt to kill Amidala, and Qui-Gon would completely replace Obi-Wan. Although the events on Geonosis would be altered, due to Qui-Gon being Dooku's padawan, Qui-Gon may have joined him. Or, he would do as Obi-Wan did (most likely after sensing the Dark Side in him), and the rest of AotC would go as written. If Qui-Gon joined Dooku, then either Anakin would join him or try to fight against him, and no matter what, the Clone Wars would take place. Anakin might have become a Jedi Master in attempt to turn over Qui-Gon and defeat Dooku, and the rest of the Council might have never doubted him, even though Anakin's relation to Chancellor Palpatine would continue to grow stronger, as Palpatine is unaffected by all this. Palpatine would continue to try and subdue Anakin to the Dark Side, but Anakin may have been able to resist, and possibly helped Mace Windu, rather than betray him. So, Padme might have not died in childbirth, and Sidious' plot to rule the galaxy would fail, as he would die. As for Dooku and Qui-Gon, if Qui-Gon had not gone evil, Dooku would still die, though possibly at Qui-Gon's hands rather than Anakin's. If Qui-Gon had turned, then Anakin might have had to do both of them in, even though Palpatine would make sure he lives in attempt to convert him.

The point is, too much would change if Qui-Gon were to live and Obi-Wan to die.

Or is it possible that Anakin would see the passion in Qui-Gon (if I remember correctly it was implied that he had some sort of feelings for the one girl in Jedi Apprentice who dies, can't remember her name).  So if he noticed this would Anakin have been more willing to fill Qui-Gon in on his marriage as a confidant? 

Would Qui-Gon have been able to stop his fall?

It's fun contemplating the butterfly effect. 

you mean Qui-Gon.

Well to me I am sure he [Qui - Gon] would have trained Ani better. I sure he would have not fallen if he had been trained by him. Heck Qui-Gon was better all around, he probably would have joined Dooku found out and killed Palps before the even involved the council. And Ani would have probably told Qui-Gon about his wife because he knew he wouldn't run to the council. After all, Qui-Gon was better a understanding things. I think out of all the movies, Obi wan Defied the council once! Qui Gons coolness would have helped Ani, be the same way. I mean after he was around Obi Wan he started to be a council wanna be too. I mean, Qui gon would have at least finished the job of killing Ani if it had come to it.
      Ani wold had t have 2 robots as witnesses if he had told Qui Gon. I mean, Qui Gon Probably would have let Ani go after Padme. But the whole thing would have ben ruined if it had happened  that way so....

I think Anakin was always going to turn to the dark side. The slaugher of the sand people clarified it for me. I don't blame Anakin for being angry at the loss of his mother but killing all the sand people was hardly just cause. He went beyond justice and into murder.

At this point Yoda should have realised something was wrong. He sensed Anakin's pain, could he not sense his anger?

I don't think Qui Gon would have made Anakin a better Jedi, simply a different one. If anything I think Qui Gon may have even been more blind to Anakin's behaviour because it was so like his own.

Anakin would have gone to the dark side one or another is true. It was just a question of what point in the prequels. I speculate that Jango's and Boba's lives would have been different if Obi-Wan had been killed by Darth Maul. For one thing, who would come by to investigate them or even find out that something was going on at Kamino. This opens the possibility that Jango would not have died in the battle of Genosis because there might not have been a battle of Genosis. Boba could have grown up to be a somewhat different person/bounty hunter.

And then there would be No BFFC!

But didn't Obi-Wan have a kinda-sorta girlfriend of his own? 

I'll try to look that up in my source books if nobody knows what I'm talking about...

Suri? The only one i am aware of is Siri, the one Werda mentions. I too have read all those books. ( I LOVE Jude Watson's treatment of the Jedi etc.) It wasn't from afar, they both agreed that they cared for one another during a mission and they thought they were going to die when the ship reentered real space from hyperspace. They were even considering staying together.....

This is all very interesting speculations. I think that Anakin and Qui-Gon would have fought/ disagreed more because they were so similar and yet so different. Qui- Gon was a much different fighter than Obi Wan, so maybe Anakin would have learned to be more like Obi Wan.

Ok... What does this have to do with bounty hunters? It should be in RPG or Serious Geeking. Anyway, If DM killed OW, then Anakin would not be trained, he would just end up being some pilot for hire probably, because he couldn't get in to the Jedi Order without Obi-Wan's persuasion. Sidious and Maul would relaunch and invasion of Naboo, succeed, and take over the galaxy from there, but then there would be no Chosen One to stop them or join them, so the Jedi might have a chance, but Maul and Sidious would be too much for the Jedi, who are missing two of their future greatest Jedi, Obi and Ani. Sith rule forever, until the next chosen one comes and liberates the people a few thousand years later.
