The theory that Qui-Gon is the only Jedi Anakin ever saw as a “truly good man” is a nice theory, but ultimately just that - a theory. There’s evidence to support it, but at the end of the day nothing like that is ever clearly (or even subtly) communicated in the films.If he was a figure that Anakin looked up to and Obi-Wan always failed to match him as a teacher then that would be a character thing.
well, he was. isn’t there a scene in AotC where Anakin talks about Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan feels bad for not being as good as he was?
Dooku mentions Qui-gon I think, and there’s a deleted scene where the librarian talks about Qui-gon as well, but that’s it. Anakin doesn’t mention him at all in Episodes 2 and 3.
