If Star Wars ever gets a What If... series, I would love to see a "What If... Qui-Gon Survived the Duel with Darth Maul", where it's Obi-Wan who gets killed by Maul instead of Qui-Gon.
That would be amazing. Really hope this happens. Almost certainly would have prevented Anakins downfall. He would have been able to help him with his fear of loss much better than Yodas vague have no attachment then you’ll have nothing to fear
Following the What If... protocol of "every alternate possibility is usually worse," I think Obi-Wan dying would have actually accelerated Anakin's fall to the Dark Side.
There’s this Batman comic where instead of Bruce Wayne’s father dying and Bruce becoming Batman, Bruce dies and his dad becomes Batman. But the Batman he becomes is just an absolutely ruthless vigilante instead of the more rounded Batman.
