What if Qui-Gon Jinn survived...

and went on to train Anakin, How would things be different? Would Anakin fall to the dark side still? or does Qui-Gon somehow prevent Anakin's fall?

Then Qui-Gon would never have learned the way to survive as a force-ghost of whatever the term actually is, and so a bunch of other stuff that happened wouldn't have happened.

 

Personally, I think that yes, Anakin still would have fallen to the Dark Side.

Considering how good he was at mind tricks and psychology, possibly. However, he was a Maverick and did things against the Counsels will... not because it was to defy them, but because sometimes the rules get in the way. If Qui-Gon set that example to his Padawan, I think Anakin still would have fallen to the dark side.

 

Here is another question: If Qui-Gon hadn't of died, would he be on the Jedi-Counsel before Obi-Wan?

Good points,  i think Anakin's fall to the dark side is something that was destine to happen. There might be ways to slow it down or speed it up but not totally stop it. Qui-Gon might have slowed the fall, because i can imagine him being more of a father figure to Anakin then Obi-wan was, and Anakin being more hesitant to turn against him.

 

As for Qui-Gon making it on the counsel before Obi-Wan, probably not, in episode one Obi-wan tells Qui-gon that he would already be on the counsel if he listened to them more, so unless Qui-gon changes, he probably wouldn't make it on the counsel at all.

Qui gon Jinn the reason Qui gon Jinn was never on the cousel was because he was more of a grey Jedi if anything a Grey Jedi is .........

 

The term Gray Jedi, or Gray, had two meanings. First, it was used by Jedi and Sith to describe Force-users who walked the line between the light and dark sides of the Force without surrendering to the dark side, and second, it described Jedi who distanced themselves from the Jedi High Council and operated outside the strictures of the Jedi Code. However, those who were considered to be true Gray Jedi met both qualifications and did not belong to any particular Force tradition. One example was Jolee Bindo, a former Jedi Padawan and self-proclaimed Gray Jedi of the Old Republic.

I agree with most of the people here. Anakin would still have gone to the dark side. But as every master in star wars there is always a good reason they are killed off. It is the way of the force. Preventing death is against the force.
