If Qui-Gon became Anakin's father, would Anakin have still become Vader?

Father?

Seriously... Altair, what's with the "Ifs?"

Yeah, what's with them?

This 'If', however, has always intrigued me the most.

I'm guessing if you meant 'If Qui-Gon taught Anakin as his Padawan' rather than 'If Qui-Gon became Shmi's baby daddy.'

It might've turned out differently for Anakin, I guess. But Anakin had deep lying issues he needed to handle himself...

The implication is that everything would have been fine. The drama of the story is better served if that is so. Of course, it has to remain speculative in the end.

Sorry guys I meant Master.

Even if Qui-Gon was his master he had to turn in order to bring Balance to the Force.

That might be interesting...

*makes thread*

Anyways as i was saying if Jinn was still alive Anakin still would have fallen to the Darkside.

Doubt it.

Yes because he still would have wanted to save padme and turned to palpatine.

Butterfly effect. Someone so close and influential as Qui-Gon was, and would have been to Anakin would have drastically altered his personality. He wouldn't have been the character we all know.

Or at least not completely.
