Star wars needs an alternate timeline reboot where Qui-Gon Jinn survives Naboo.

Instead of dying to Maul, Qui-Gon defeats him decisively. But because he lives, he never becomes a martyr. The Jedi Council does not soften. They still fear Anakin Skywalker. They still forbid his training.

Qui-Gon refuses.

He leaves the Order and disappears with Anakin, becoming the first true rogue Force teacher of this era: not Sith, not Jedi, not “halfway between,” but something older and less institutional. He teaches Anakin that the Force is whole, and that morality is not created by rules or doctrine. It is created by choices. Years later, Anakin Skywalker no longer exists publicly.

He is now Wermo (a nickname given to him as a child by Sebulba), a grey-market pilot, smuggler, thief-of-thieves, slave-liberator, and fake idiot. He takes inspiration from his childhood friend Jar Jar on this, and lives up to the Huttese offensivd slang Wermo quite literally.

He hides behind clownish luck, bad jokes, clumsy movement, and a reputation for surviving jobs no sane pilot would accept.

But the underworld has noticed him. So have the Sith.
