Influence

Although by the time of the Clone Wars he has been dead for over a decade, Qui-Gon is not forgotten, particularly by those who were close to him. In particular, Count Dooku uses Obi-Wan's memories of Qui-Gon in an attempt to gain the young Jedi's assistance to "destroy the Sith". Qui-Gon's spirit—now one with the Force—tries unsuccessfully to communicate with Anakin when the latter goes on an anger-fueled rampage intent on killing the Tusken Raiders responsible for his mother's death. Later, in a scene at the end of Revenge of the Sith (which does not appear in the final cut of the film), both Yoda and Obi-Wan apprentice themselves during their exile to Qui-Gon's spirit in order to learn the secret of preserving their identities after becoming one with the Force.
