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

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.
No. We blame the Jedi for never going back to save his mother. Ever.
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.

Qui-Gon was dead that whole time. But the other Jedi... yeah, let Anakin miss his mother for 10 years and develop emotional issues. Very Jedi-like.
