What if Revan Awakened in The Phantom Menace and saved Qui-Gon Jinn? Let’s explore the depths of it in the video.
The Theed Royal Palace hums with the clash of lightsabers, the air thick with tension as the Jedi and Sith circle each other for the first time in centuries. And then, the Sith strike.
Darth Maul rushes forward, his lightsaber blur of speed and precision, driving Qui-Gon Jinn back toward the plasma gates. He is unused to fighting against a double-bladed saber. The movements are twice as fast and come from the most unusual angles, leaving him unable to halt their attacks as effectively.
Behind him. Obi-Wan Kenobi bangs his fist against the energy barrier that leaves him trapped and unable to help his master.
Qui-Gon breathes heavily, sweat beading on his forehead. He deflects a flurry of strikes, but Maul is unrelenting, each blow heavier than the last. Then—an opening. Maul feints high before pivoting low, his saber carving through the air toward Qui-Gon’s midsection.
And then it happens.
The Force trembles. A pressure, ancient and immense, ripples through the ground. A deep hum vibrates and plasma gates flicker, distorting for the briefest moment, letting Obi-Wan rush in but also someone else.
Cloaked in a war-torn robe, dark armor peeking through the fabric, he emerges from the unseen depths of the Force itself. His presence is overwhelming—raw, commanding, and his red Mandalorian mask only adds to his appearance. He cocks his head in confusion before glancing over towards Maul.
Revan has returned.
Maul snarls, instincts screaming danger. He pivots, redirecting his momentum, against this new threat. But Revan moves faster. Without thought, without hesitation, his hand extends.
An invisible shockwave slams into Maul, launching him backward like a ragdoll. He crashes into the durasteel wall, denting it on impact before tumbling to the floor in a crouch. His yellow eyes burn with fury as he steadies himself, but he does not attack. He watches. He calculates.
Qui-Gon, still catching his breath, pushes himself up, gaze locked on the warrior before him.
Qui-Gon: Who are you?
Revan: I am Revan.
Qui-Gon’s eyes widen as that name is like a thunderbolt across his body. A name spoken with fear. A name worthy of awe. And one of infamy.
Revan: I also know what he is
Qui-Gon: A Sith.
Revan: Oh, good. I didn’t find one of the stupid Jedi.
Maul growls and lunges. His saber spins in a crimson arc toward Revan’s throat.
Revan moves, channeling the Force to his side and halting Maul’s attack in mid-air as if he’s held in place by an invisible hand. He is hurled backward once more, this time smashing through a control console. Sparks shower around him as he crashes to the floor.
Snarling, Maul pushes himself up. His gaze flickers between Revan and Qui-Gon. The battle has changed. This is no longer a duel—it is a battle of unknowns. And the Sith Lord knows better than to fight an enemy he does not yet understand.
Without a word, Maul retreats, vanishing into the depths of the palace corridors.
Silence follows.
Obi-Wan: Master, who is this?
Qui-Gon: A legend.
Thankfully, the rest of the battle goes well as Padme captures Nute Gunray and the droid control ship is destroyed, leaving the droids to deactivate. But as there is celebration, Qui-Gon and Revan stand at the edge of a balcony overlooking Theed.
Qui-Gon: So, you wish to join me in training Anakin. You are powerful, but power alone is not enough.”
Revan: And what would be enough?
Qui-Gon: Balance. Wisdom. I’ve seen what happens when the Jedi forget their purpose. I sense you have seen the same. And yet, I find no balance in you.
Revan has seen it. He has lived it. And now, even without full memory, he feels the truth of it clawing at the edges of his mind.
Revan: The Republic is crumbling. War is coming. Yes. And it is the boy who will be at its center. When it does, it's not the balance you will be looking for. It is power.
Qui-Gon: The Council has refused to train him, but I will not abandon him. If you wish to help, I will not begrudge an extra pair of hands.
The cold wind howls across the barren wasteland of Moraband, the sky a swirling storm of darkness. Lightning cracks in the distance, illuminating the jagged peaks of Sith ruins. Anakin Skywalker stands between Qui-Gon Jinn and Revan.
One thing they agreed on is that Anakin cannot be trained as a normal Jedi. He must understand the ways of the Living Force, which is why they brought him here. At first, Anakin is confused and a little bit frightened. The Force here seems simply like a dark cloud, giving him nothing but a sense of wrongness.
They explain that this is a planet strong in the Dark Side. The Force here is suffocating, pressing against him like unseen hands. It makes his skin prickle, his breath catches in his throat. They tell him his job here is to meditate and connect with the Force here.
