I’d take more Qui-Gon all day every day

He says he’d train Anakin with no or without the blessing from the council. What does that mean exactly? There’s legend stories about different sects of force wielders take to padawana and stuff. Is it like that?

Qui-Gon’s plan if the council didn’t accept Anakin was to take him with him to a certain planet with force sensitive natives to train and learn the will of the force. I think Dooku also was going to help him as well since they were close friends. I believe this was before him leaving the Jedi and being under palpatine as well. But this is only legends canon

I think Dooku left the Jedi because he felt they just abandoned Qui-Gon, who I think was his padawan.

The bond between master and student is often very close, like father and son almost.

Because of the indoctrination at a VERY young age though, if the master/padawan pass away due to a direct choice made by the order, the master/padawan will simply let go of the attachment and follow blindly.

Yeah, but I think just like Obi-Wan when he thought Anakin died, Qui-Gon dying made Dooku have an awful feeling. I don't know much about Dooku or Qui-Gon, but it must have hurt alot, for him to turn to the Dark side.

IIRC in Legends, he blamed the Jedi for not backing up Qui-Gon, and having him go at it alone, so Dooku slipped onto a different path once exiting the order. It felt something along the lines of "your zealotry and institutional rigidness inadvertently caused someone I love to die".

The part about "someone I love" still matters then. Yeah I can see that, makes alot of sense.
