Master of the Living Force

hehehe

Of course QGJ "sensed the sith" when he came into contact with Darth Maul. What else would he think when someone attacks him with a lightsaber (which only Jedi and sith use) with great skill (like only that of a Jedi or Sith). What other option would there be?
And if he was such a master of the force, then a Sith apprentice would not have offed him. I see him as a mid level jedi.

i dont think he sensed the sith. he sensed the darkside, and sensed that maul was very powerful, and made a presumption based on that. a wise and correct presumption, but none the less he didnt have a 'sith sense' *dorky laugh*

I see what you're saying I think. Since the sith had supposedly been dead for a thousand years or more, he would not really even think about the term "sith" but instead would feel that it was a darkside-powered warrior. When the battle was over, and he had time to think, he probably reasoned it had to be a sith.
I also kinda got the impression that Qui-gon was out of shape--he was very fatigued in his first and second fights with Maul. I guess Jedi weren't as prepared to fight the sith as the sith were to fight the Jedi.

Why would he not think Maul was a Sith. There is such a thing a deduction, using your brain and some common sense. It's not like Jedi are only guided by their feelings.

Low level Jedi then?

no, Qui Gon was supposedly in his 60's, and Maul wore him down.

Senile Jedi then? You did say he was suckered into a trap by Maul.

and his impatience makes him a lesser jedi how?for all he knew he did not hcae time to wait for his apprentice, maybe he felt an urgency to take Maul as soon as possible.

and I am not saying he should have "waited" for Obi Wan, I chose my words poorly there. What he should have done is been more patient, not pressed the attack so much, buy himself 20 to 30 seconds for his padawan to rejoin the fight.

perhaps but as you say he was in the heat of battle. I am afraid we shall never know what was on his mind during the fight.

I know. I want to say he should have realized Maul's intentions, but, as you implied, in the heat of battle, sometimes rash decisions are made.

I am one of those who think he sensed something from Maul at the moment he got careless and Maul got him. I have always been intrigued by his strange look before the double sabre went through him.

Heat of the battle has caused a great deal of damage in the SW series when you look at the other films.

Qui Gon was a visionary he could see things the other jedi seemed not to. They doubted his first hand account of being attacked by a sith and it took his own death to convince them.

i think you would make a funny face as well if impaled through the chest with a white hot beam of plasma....just saying.

No the face was right before he got impaled. I am not talking about the scene when he got it in the chest but right before that.

they doubted it was a Sith because the Sith had been "extinct" for so long.

Which only compunded their collected arrogance in the end. They thought they would sense the sith if any were alive.
