Competition: Death Before It's Time

Finished
Death Before It's Time

Prompt

During the Battle of Naboo in 32 BBY, The Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn was lost in a lightsaber duel to Darth Maul alongside his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Later during that same duel, the future Jedi Master outsmarted the Sith Lord, cutting him in two and setting him tumbling into the pit below. What if Maul had won instead of Kenobi and killed the Jedi?

Write a fiction depicting a tale on how your character’s life might have been different had Darth Maul won his first lightsaber duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi.
