I find debates on, “who would’ve been the better master for Anakin,” pretty pointless because as long as Palpatine’s there to constantly dangle everything Anakin ever wanted right in front of him, it’ll always go the same way.

Anakin’s core flaw is his need for control, a result of his trauma from growing up enslaved. It doesn’t matter who is tasked with teaching him to overcome it, he just can’t so long as there’s a devil there constantly explaining every reason why he doesn’t actually have to.

The only thing that really changes is who duels him on Mustafar.

#Qui-Gon is not an Uncle Iroh figure where tf would you get that idea #the issue with fanon Qui-Gon is that we simply do not see enough of him to make the judgement call of if he’d be better for Anakin #Qui-Gon’s death isn’t the deciding factor—it’s just strike one #the only outside influence that determines Anakin’s fall is Palpatine #people gotta stop projecting their “ideal Jedi” onto Qui-Gon and actually be fans of the character please #but yeah if Yoda or Mace are the ones to meet Anakin on Mustafar he will just straight up die #star wars #anakin skywalker #sheev palpatine #meta #me rambles #fuck fanon Qui-Gon #all my homies hate fanon Qui-Gon
