After years of training under Dooku, Jinn achieved the rank of Jedi Knight and—after successfully training a Padawan of his own, a farmer's son named Feemor—became a Jedi Master himself.
Qui-Gon Jinn was a respected, independent Jedi Master who first located and identified Anakin Skywalker as the Chosen One foretold in the Jedi Prophecy.
Dooku, forced to act quickly to save his Padawan, struck down Mol with a blast of Force lightning. That was the first moment anyone in the Jedi order began to question his loyalty. Qui-Gon graduated to the rank of Jedi Master before Dooku left the order.
Because he wasn't entirely convinced that the Jedi Code should be blindly followed, like most Jedi did. He believed that the Jedi Code was more like guide lines, but that the Jedi should be allowed the freedom to explore the Force in their own way.
It's already well-established that Qui-Gon was incredibly strong with the Force. He continuously studied the ways of the Force and eventually learned enough about the Cosmic Force and the Living Force to unlock the secrets of eternal life.
We are just barely seeing a 600-something-year-old Yoda in the High Republic era. And given that Qui-Gon Jinn dies in 32 BBY, a fight beyond that point would be pointless since, as a Jedi spirit, Jinn would arguably be stronger than the still physically alive Yoda.
Jedi Master Yoda is the most powerful of them all. This should come as no surprise, as he was the head of the Jedi Order in the prequels and was revered for his abilities during the original trilogy. Yoda's power is unmatched and was a real threat to Darth Vader and the Imperials.
Thus, while Qui-Gon was less powerful than Yoda, Palpatine feared him more.
Mission to Mathas. Padawan Windu was trained in the ways of the Force by Jedi Master Cyslin Myr. Following his early trials as a youngling, Windu attained the status of Padawan by becoming Jedi Master Cyslin Myr's apprentice.
Later, Qui-Gon spoke to Yoda through the Force, leading him to the swamp world Dagobah. There, Yoda began his investigations into the mysteries of the Force. Qui-Gon guided Yoda through this journey of self-discovery, teaching him the secrets he had learned. Later, he would teach this lost lore to Obi-Wan as well.
As Supreme Commander, Darth Vader was the ranking leader of the Imperial Military.
The latest Star Wars tie-in novel confirms Qui-Gon Jinn was the one Jedi who could have stopped Palpatine and even saw his plans in action. Star Wars has confirmed Qui-Gon Jinn was the one Jedi who could have thwarted Palpatine's plans.
Qui-Gon was ultimately defeated by a move that can only be done with a double-bladed lightsaber as Darth Maul used the handle of the weapon, striking Qui-Gon physically on the chin, stunning him for just long enough to deliver the killing blow.
Even though he perished in battle, Qui-Gon Jinn's consciousness continued. He had found the secret to immortality through the Force. However, unlike the Sith, who wish to live and hold their power for eternity, immortality through the Force is different.
His former colleagues in the Jedi Order saw Dooku as misguided but a man of principles, and refused to believe he could be an advocate of violence and war. They were wrong; Dooku had sworn allegiance to the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, taking the name Darth Tyranus.
Though Qui-Gon Jinn was strong in the ways of the Force, including telepathy and levitation, there's just no way he would beat Luke Skywalker in a fight. In both of their primes, Luke still makes for a better swordfighter with better agility. Qui-Gon isn't known for being a strong fighter.
Billaba became Windu's Padawan and trained under the Jedi Master in the ways of the Force. During her training, Windu allowed her to study Form VII variant known as Vaapad. She eventually became a Jedi Knight, renowned for her skills with a lightsaber and favored Form III when teaching other Jedi.
Biography. Legend had it that Yoda—a Jedi who became Grand Master—was trained by N'Kata Del Gormo.
