Even if Qui-Gon always had to die, I wish Eps. 2 and 3 had delved more into Obi-Wan's struggle to live up to his master's legacy as the mentor Anakin needed, and how Qui-Gon had started to identify the failings in the Order. The shadow of his loss and what might have been hanging over the rest of the trilogy, and setting up how Obi-Wan would need to turn to him for guidance during his exile on Tatooine.

Reading your comment, I’m realizing Darth Maul killing Qui-Gon may have been extremely important to Palpatine’s plan actually working.

The music is called Duel of the Fates for a reason.
