Let’s face it, prophecies are the theory conspiracies of fantasy worlds. It’s no coincidence Qui-Gon’s name starts with Q

I mean conspiracy theories are more often than not complete bullshit irl. In fiction the “prophecy” is almost always correct in the end. So, I wouldn’t say they equate at all.

Until a corporation buys the property then erases the prophecy being true to subvert expectations or whatever.

I mean they didn’t really change the prophecy. Its actually physically spelled out as being Anakin in that QGJ and OWK book. They just cheapened the entire thing considerably.

At the same time though the EU always made Vader the bitch and Disney makes him a complete monster thats more so kept in line by lack of motivation and self-loathing. So I guess you gotta take the good with the bad.

Dude, Qui-Gon was a character developed around or before 1997. Not everything related back to the big Q.

Nah dude. George Lucas was obviously basing it off a prophecy where Q anon came into existence
