Star Wars: 10 Things You Never Knew About Qui-Gon Jinn

10. Qui-Gon And Mace Windu Secretly Hated Each Other

Although Qui-Gon and Mace were two of the most powerful Jedi they didn't really get along. Qui-Gon was a non-conformist. He often bucked the Jedi Council and questioned their wisdom.

Mace, on the other hand, was a traditionalist. He firmly believed in both the Jedi Code and the Jedi Council. Mace never questioned orders from the Council. Eventually, he became a high-ranking member, himself.

On top of these clashes in viewpoint, Qui-Gon and Mace had personal tension. Although he never admitted it, Qui-Gon felt Mace was cold and arrogant. While Mace also had a low opinion of Qui-Gon.

Specifically, Mace felt that Qui-Gon was wrong about the return of the Sith. He also disagreed with Qui-Gon’s belief that Anakin Skywalker was the chosen one. It’s worth mentioning that Qui-Gon was right on both these points.
