Well i watched Episode 1 again and noticed that Qui-gon Jinn dont become one with the force when he dies, as yoda and obi-wan did. Is it because hes not a true jedi? ...Just wondering.

No you don't have to be a Master to have a Padawan. Obi-Wan took Anakin as a paddy as soon as he achieved the rank of Knight.

But Qui-Gon IS a Jedi Master!

I highly doubt hes a Sith. Put that out of your head. Quigonn-Jinn was a Jedi master,because you have to be a master to have a Padawan.

Not true really, since Maul was sidious apprentice, and if Qui-gon Jinn was a sith he wouldnt care who it was he killed.

If Qui-Gon was a hidden sith, I very much doubt that he would be on obi's side through the whole duel versus Darth Maul...

I'm sorry but NO WAY! Dooku only said those things to Obi-Wan to try to manipulate the situation and Obi-Wan. I think Sidious/Palpatine being so close to the Jedi but laying undescovered is what was clouding their ability to use the force.

As I see it Qui Gonn's loyalty was in question. During a conversation between Dooku (Qui Gonn's master!)and Obi Wan, Dooku comments,"if only Qui Gonn were here". He also mentions that there is little Obi Wan knows about the alignment of Qui Gonn's loyalty. Perhaps Qui Gonn was the one clouding the jedi's vision. Could he as well, by insisting on the training of Anakin, be making an attempt to destroy the Jedi? So I put to you...
Qui Gonn, hidden SITH master?

In Ep.I, Obi-Wan is justa Padawan until they give him Knight after Qui-Gon dies.

I always figured he was just a Jedi Knight and Obi was just his padawan. I mean Obi had that stupid hair braid thingie. Doesn't that mean he is still a padawan?

When Obi-Wan tells him "You'd already be on the Council." I think this is a good indication of his rankas Jedi Master. Also, A Jedi does not have to be a Master to be on the Jedi Council.
Ki-adi Mundi Only holds the rank of Jedi Knight and he is on the Council. Also in the preview for EpIII, Mace tell Anakin "You are on this Council, but we do not grant you the rank of Master."

I think it's safe to call him:

Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn

I doubt he is, because obi wan says, if he would have listened to the rules of the council he would be in the Council. But i dont realy know, i have forgot. But its possible that he might be a Jedi Master.

*SPOILER*
It is yet uncertain if Qui Gon will appear as a force ghost or as a voice (like in EpII) but it is certain that he does appear in Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith

Ok, couldn't help myself, had to find out more about this. The quote below comes from this link: http://www.answers.com/topic/qui-gon-jinn
So I can't verify how accurate it is. Also, Warning: Link may contain spoiler information! Though I didn't see anything that looked like a spoiler to me.

Quote:
Qui-Gon appears only in The Phantom Menace though his voice is heard in Attack of the Clones. (His voice can be heard while Yoda is meditating). George Lucas planned to have Qui-Gon appear as a Force ghost, similar to how Obi-Wan appeared in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, however Neeson broke his leg prior to filming the planned scenes and the idea was shelved.


So it turns out Lucas probably wanted to show that Qui Gon was a strong Jedi Master, but the real world intervened. :P

Qui Gon Jinn does preserve some of his consciousness after his death through the force. How can I prove this?

In episode 2, while Anakin is slaughtering the Tuskens, we cut to a scene of Yoda meditating in the Jedi Temple. You hear the sounds of Anakin, but also you hear Liam Neeson's (the guy who played Qui Gon in episode 1) call out "Anakin! Anakin! No!" This leads me to believe that Qui Gon kept some of his consciousness after his death and used it in an attempt to guide Anakin through his training. Guess that didn't work out so well. :P

He was a Jedi Master, yet he was not a Council Member because he was somewhat...stubborn in early days.

And the Glowy Ghost, which some became after Death, was reserved only to the greatest Jedi who were taught to preserve their conciousnes after the body dies.

It is rumoured that Darth Sidious had learned that ability too, shortly before he killed his master.

that could be so. Obi-Wan chose his time and Yoda knew he was dying. But yes, Qui-Gon Jinn is a Jedi Master.

I read something where If a Jedi didn't have time to "set up" the glowy part, i.e. being killed so sudden instead of slowly dieing of natural causes, he wouldnt glow.

I thought he dissapeared after he died like all jedis did?

According to lucasarts, he IS a jedi master. However, he is not on the jedi council because of his unorthodox beliefs regarding the force. His fellow members thought that his ideas were too radical.
