Qui Gon Jinn Posed a Greater Threat to Palpatine Than Yoda Ever Did

Much of the dialogue in the Star Wars prequels was incredibly awkward, from Obi-Wan's "I have the high ground" to Anakin's "I don't like sand." Yet, it got the point across. Perhaps the best example of bad dialogue with a deep message arrives in The Phantom Menace, when Yoda cautions, "Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." That perfectly foreshadowed not only Anakin's fall to the dark side but also, if more quietly, the rest of The Phantom Menace: Palpatine was in the earliest stages of his plan to take over the galaxy, and he was afraid a certain Jedi might get in his way. Interestingly, however, that Jedi wasn't Yoda or Master Windu, but instead Qui-Gon Jinn.
