The Fall Of Qui-Gon In The Film
At this point, we receive hints of a relationship between Padmé and Obi-Wan; she even gives his a nickname stating that he “doesn’t look like an Obi-Wan, but more of a Ben.” However, this is truthfully setting up the ultimate fall of Anakin Skywalker in Episode III.
Come morning, the Jedi and Padmé arrive at Watoo’s shop and, wouldn’t you know it, Watoo’s pod racer is a no-show and Qui-Gon suggests that Anakin race—all a part of his plan to test whether Anakin is who Qui-Gon thinks he is. Anakin, however, is hesitant—he has never been in a pod race. However, Qui-Gon tells Anakin to believe in the Force and he can accomplish anything.
At this point, we discover that Anakin is a gifted pilot and things play out the same way they did in Lucas’

Now, Anakin has gained some confidence and Qui-Gon’s suspicions are confirmed—Anakin is the “Chosen One” who will bring “balance to the force.” Excited about an opportunity to train the Chosen One, Qui-Gon informs Anakin of his suspicions and states that he is ready to bring him to the Jedi Temple where his training can begin. After brief consideration, Anakin states that he does not want to go to the temple and wishes to stay with his mother. Reluctantly, Obi-Wan lets Anakin go free and hopes that he will reconsider.
Back at the ship, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are taking one last look at the desert planet—their repairs have been completed and they are ready to leave. However, they see a figure running toward them—Anakin!
Anakin has changed his mind and has decided to reconsider his decision. However, the celebration is short. Anakin is quickly knocked out by another mysterious figure that followed Anakin to the ship—cloaked in all black and featuring a devil-like appearance, Darth Maul is shown on screen for the first time. Somewhere prior to Maul’s appearance, we can throw in a scene of Palpatine ordering his apprentice to attack the Jedi on Tatooine (likely between Obi-Wan talking to the Jedi and Obi-Wan’s bar scene). During this time, Qui-Gon orders Obi-Wan to tend to Anakin while he holds off Maul.
Again, things go as they were originally written—the first lightsaber

We do, however, hear about how he is helping others on a remote planet and are told how awesome he is. A better character reveal, in my opinion.
However, despite considering Anakin’s training, Windu brings up Obi-Wan’s training and how it is incomplete. On the other hand, Qui-Gon states that his padawan’s training is nearly completed and that he will be ready for his own padawan when Anakin’s training as a youngling is complete.
Elsewhere, Obi-Wan and Anakin are sitting and waiting for Qui-Gon to finish his meeting with the council. During this time, the two encounter Palpatine, who in this version is the intermediary between the senators and the Jedi council; this gives him a lot more strings to pull and makes him the one that sent Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to Alderaan in the first place. As he passes by the two, he senses a powerful connection to e force. However, Palpatine is ignorant and believes that the one with more training has to be the one with more power. Therefore, Palpatine pays more attention to Obi-Wan and pulls him aside to talk about his noticeable abhorrence of Anakin. Obi-Wan, trusting Palpatine, confides in him about Anakin having Qui-Gon’s

    Macbeth even has the upper hand in the fight, but because he believes so heavily in prophecy he lets Macduff go. He draws this from a previous encounter with the witches in which an apparition says, “Be bloody, bold, and resolute! Laugh to scorn the pow’r of man, for none of woman born shall harm Macbeth” (4.1.79-81). Macduff reveals that he was born of a caesarian section and kills him. Because of Macbeth’s ambition, ignorance, and hunger for power, Macbeth loses his wife, friend, kingship, and his life. Anakin is defeated by Obi Wan Kenobi, but he lives.

    Destiny has a way of making us all look like fools. In the story of Macbeth several characters fell due to prophecy by supernatural powers. An instance where this is relevant is in the beginning of the play, when the three Witches inform Macbeth and Banquo of their futures. Although they both don’t know the facts correctly, in both of their futures death awaits. Right after the epiphany Macbeth witnessed he sought to take the throne by force, where much bloodshed had commenced. Banquo, Macbeth’s loyal friend, knew of the actions that were going happen, yet he didn’t stop it. The story of Macbeth is similar to film Star Wars in the same way that Anakin Skywalker, who was prophesied to be the chosen one, turned to the evil villain we know as Darth Vadar. Although found by chance Anakin, the young boy from Tatooine, was prophesied to be the chosen one for the sheer fact that of his high midichlorian count. The Jedi Council knew from the start that Anakin was heading down the dark side, yet Jedi Knight Obi-wan…

    You will be with the other initiates learning the ways of the force." You felt disappointment considering you would not be about to see Qui-Gon everyday, but you smiled at the thought of becoming a Jedi like Qui-Gon. You stomach began to rumble loudly and Qui-Gon laughed as he walked you and Obi-Wan to the dining hall. Several masters, Padawans, and Younglings were already eating their first meal of the day. You sit at table close to a window and wait for Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to arrive with food. Qui-Gon makes a plate for himself while also making yours. Obi-Wan glanced over to you sitting at the table and noticed an older Jedi Master he did not recognize handing you colored pencils and paper. You smiled at the master and hugged his neck.

(walk off for a sec and then walk back on and be like) Okay, I'll make one up on the spot now, here goes: Picture this: you walk into school today, into your first period math class and you have to hide in the corner so you don't get screamed at for not having your homework done. I know that this has happened to NEARLY every single one of us. Except Dilan and Asil of course. Don't you dare try "I forgot it at home" or "my printer wasn't working", ‘I had no electricity”. Come on we ALL KNOW THE TRUTH: you gave in to the "ULTIMATE FORCE", the one force stronger than the Jedi’s. The underlying power that will make or break your day tomorrow: PROCRASTINATION. And i think, that i should personally run for "King of Procrastination" (maybe against Kalin) but then again, I could still do it tomorrow.…
