What if Qui-Gon survived Naboo?

What would be the outcome if Qui-Gon had lasted just long enough for Obi-Wan to get through the shield and help him?

Stupendous wave covered this already, what would be your thoughts.

In the grand scheme of things, nothing would really change.

...Really? :/

Obi-Wan damn sure wouldn't be the one training Anakin, as Qui-Gon already planned to be his teacher.

Dooku probably wouldn't have turned to the dark side, Qui-Gon's death played a part in his turning, tbh.

Chaos theory. Even the smallest things can have effects on a big scale. If Qui-Gon doesn't die before Kenobi can join, then Kenobi doesn't get a rage amp, he might not end up in the shaft, and Maul would've won.

Even if Maul was still defeated, Kenobi wouldn't have trained Skywalker. Jinn would have. Everything would have been different. 👆

What would be the effects of that?

Im sure Anakin and Obi-Wan would still be really close, but that they wouldn't have the same relationship.

I mean getting Anakin was a two-man job.

Well Obi-Wan would've kept using Ataru :/

so much would change, Obi Wan was fish out of padawan status; its clear that he's not up to the task of training Anakin like Qui Gon would have, he says as much in ep 6 to Luke.

With Anakin under proper tutelage, under a guy that likes to bend the rules while still firmly remaining a Jedi no less these a huge chance he isn't as susceptible to turning Sith as he was.

A case can be made that Dooku either doesn't turn or he's brought back by Qui Gon who certainly would have just as good if not a better connection with Dooku than even he and Yoda had.

Finally, even if everything had gone to plan in the PT for Sidious, there would be no Force Ghosts in the OT ad Qui Gon was the one who taught Yoda and Obi Wan how to do that.

They'd beat Maul. Dooku would never leave. Jinn would train the Chosen One. The Chosen One would kill Palpatine. Everybody wins. Too bad Obi-Wan couldn't haul @ss

If Qui-Gon trained Anakin, I doubt Palpatine would've been able to manipulate him as well as he did and he'd need to get Qui-Gon out of the way. Likewise, Dooku probably wouldn't have fallen nearly as easily and Palpatine would be rather desperately searching for another apprentice.
