Why Palpatine Feared Qui-Gon Jinn More than Master YodaIn his first appearance in the original trilogy, Yoda is described as the mentor of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and lives in exile on the swamp planet of Dagobah. He trains Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force until his death at the age of 900 in Return of the Jedi, though he later returns as a Force spirit.https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Yoda
Who feared Qui-Gon Jinn? Even if he didn't show it, Palpatine was afraid that Qui-Gon would hinder his rise to power, and the thing is, Palpatine would have been right. If Qui-Gon had survived, Anakin wouldn't have turned into Darth Vader, and he would have sensed just how evil Palpatine was.
This information comes to light form the comic series Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith by Charles Soule and Giuseppe Camuncoli, in particular issue #7. Palpatine admits to Darth Vader that the Jedi he actually feared most was none other than Jocasta Nu.
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.
Darth Sidious was able to cheat his upcoming death by transferring his spirit into a clone body while falling into the reactor core of the second Death Star. He later sought to prolong his existence by futilely manipulating his grandchild Rey into killing him so he could live further by possessing her body.
Qui-Gon Jinn was a Force-sensitive highly respected, yet maverick and unconventional Human male Jedi Master, who lived during the last decades of the Galactic Republic and was most notably responsible for discovering Anakin Skywalker, the Chosen One of the Jedi prophecy, and bringing him into the Jedi Order.
The two veterans of the Force engaged in a ferocious lightsaber duel, with each making liberal use of their powers. Ultimately, Yoda was forced to flee after coming to the conclusion that he could not possibly defeat Sidious, despite his great ability.
Most viewers have forgotten that Palpatine seems to have been afraid of Yoda in Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith - and even tried to flee from their duel. Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi were among the few Jedi to survive Order 66.
He could have died an honorable death, but nothing more. Under Qui-Gon's tutelage, Anakin would have grown up to be the good Jedi and good man that both Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan knew him to be.
Mace Windu surely struck fear into Palpatine during their epic duel in Revenge of the Sith, and 472 Star Wars fans think nobody else surpassed that.

Palpatine wouldn't have feared Anakin at the present moment (he was still not as powerful), but Anakin was always talking about 'overthrowing' the Emperor. It even showed in a PS2 game (forgot the name) that Anakin would have killed Palpatine if he had won against Obi-Wan on Mustafar.
Qui-Gon was Dooku's apprentice. Dooku loved Qui-Gon like a son due to their many similarities; both were individualists, idealists, and both had knowledge of the Force that was unique.
The Jedi however also have three outliers in that of Luke, Leia, and Cade Skywalker (23000/23000/21000 midi-chlorians respectively) all of which were children/descendants of Anakin Skywalker (the chosen one) and so genetically predisposed to having abnormally-high midi-chlorian counts for Jedi.
Sidious used Plagueis' methods to transfer his consciousness to a new body after his first demise. During the Battle of Endor in 4 ABY, Sidious was killed by a redeemed Anakin Skywalker, who turned back to the light side of the Force and threw Sidious down a reactor shaft to save his son Luke Skywalker.
Amedda was one of the few in the galaxy who knew Palpatine was a Sith Lord, and assisted the Chancellor as Speaker of the Senate, helping him manipulate Senators into granting him more and more power.
But while Yoda and Palpatine seemed evenly matched for a time, it was the Emperor who gained the advantage, with Yoda sent tumbling down the Senate. Battered and bruised Yoda decided to flee rather than continue facing Darth Sidious.
Yoda confronted Sidious in the heart of the Senate chambers. This erupted into an intense duel between these masters of the Force, a fight that Yoda ultimately lost and was forced to flee. With the Galactic Empire triumphant, Yoda and Obi-Wan were the last of the Jedi.
Yoda had to shoulder that decision for years. However, he ultimately understood the importance of life, and the power he could have used to defeat Dooku would have been much better used to preserve two lives. Over the years, Dooku would commit countless atrocities and also suffer incredibly embarrassing defeats.

Darth Sidious was always stronger than Vader, which is why he ruled over him for almost 20 years and turned him into the Sith Lord he was. Yet, Vader (Anakin) was always tactically gifted.

Born on Coruscant circa 80 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), Qui-Gon trained as a Padawan under Jedi Master Count Dooku.
