odd tho, that right at the finish line to the revenge of the sith (a thousand years in the making) sheev would send maul to fight some jedi on naboo, right? when by all means he got the result he wanted from the jedi 'winning' that conflict. big risk of discovery innit?
unless that wasn't about the planet at all. unless sheev wanted maul to fight qui-gon, specifically. ya know, sith historically love pitting apprentices against each other...
...and qui-gon was all about the prophecy of the chosen one, right?
and like, there's only a few canon sith, versus a metric ton of jedi. fifty thousand or something?
cool.
... what did everyone think 'balance' meant?
yeah so, what IF qui-gon knew what kind of monster anakin was going to become.
what IF qui-gon was another sith apprentice.
what if that duel was 'who gets to train anakin' and either way the jedi lose?
lil ani, destined to bring balance to the force? well. he did. in a manner of speaking.
anyhoo. sith qui-gon au, amirite?
