Qui-Gon would just get Anakin stoned and wouldn't care who he was fucking, so everything probably would have been fine.

"But Master Qui-Gon, the rules say that Jedi are forbidden from having loved ones!"

"Ehh, rules schmules Anakin. I do whatever the fuck I want all the time anyway and I'm chill. I mean, the Jedi Council didn't want me training you, and I just noped the fuck out and trained you anyway. Just you be you."

Qui-Gon was basically a bastion of poor writing and characterization.

Ultimately, I think Anakin would live up to being the chosen one and bring balance the force if he didn't get corrupted by Palpatine and had a real father figure like Qui-Gon.

I'd argue the opposite. Anakin basically IS the Chosen One. And he does bring balance to the Force. The problem is, like most prophecies, no one really understood exactly what that meant.

If Anakin doesn't get corrupted, he wouldn't actually be in a position to fulfill the prophecy. So he wouldn't be the Chosen One. Unless events/plot convenience/The Force contrived to get him back into that position anyway (ie, Qui-Gon eventually dies, Anakin still gets corrupted, etc.).

Hell, depending on how things go, the final fight with Obi-Wan goes differently and Anakin wins, doesn't become Vader, and the confrontation with the Emperor happens in an entirely different way in an entirely different place and time. Or maybe the timeline shifts enough to make Leia the one who eventually gets Jedi training and helps redeem Vader instead of Luke.

If you like that sort of "what if?" style philosophizing, you should track down the Star Wars Infinities comics if you can.
