Qui-Gon vs. Yoda

So, my friend and I were having a debate about who was the better Jedi, Qui-Gon Jinn or Yoda. We both agreed to have the masses settle it. He poted it on Facebook, and 'm allowing you fine people to help decide the issue. So- who's better? Vote and tell us why!

Yoda wins.

Yoda did have a higher midichlorian count. Speaking of which, do the midichlorian contain chloride based molecules? Because the name vaguely implies it.

Even without his light saber.

I'm sorry, I should have been more specific. Which Jedi follows the Jedi Code better?

That's pretty subjective.

Also, we have a Star Wars forum. This is the wrong place for this. I'm moving it.

Yoda. Qui-Gon was a noted maverick, which was why he never had a seat on the Council.

Put Yoda in Palpatine's chair: "The Code, I am!"

I'd argue Qui-Gon is the "better" Jedi, at least during the prequels. But Yoda is the more powerful.

Yeah, Qui-Gon was not a good follower of the code, he used his powers to gamble on pad racing.

Yeah, using your powers to save a kid from slavery. How evil... 🙄

Yeah, but he did not save that same kid's mother, just left her there after taking her son away from her.

If I am not wrong, he tried to trade for mother as well.
But in any case Jedi can't save everyone. And what could he do to save her? Steal her? First of all that would be biased as there were countless slaves on Tatooin. Do we blame QUi-Gon for not saving them as well? Second, stealing her could result in deaths and unnecessary hatred for Jedi. When saving someone, Jedi need to consider consequences and seek for non-violent solutions, things are not simple.

Plus there was a chip in her brain that would explode if she was taken illegally.

Actually considering that, when stacked against his contemporaries, Qui-Gon is the perfect Jedi.

I think Qui-gon really knew that Anakin needed to move on past his mother, if he was to ever going to effectively learn to become a Jedi.

Lots of fledgling Jedi separate from their parents for the same reasons, and even in the past, before the Reformation, such things were encouraged, though not enforced yet.

Hate when that happens.
