PROOF QUI-GON JINN WOULD NEVER JOIN DOOKU! [CANON] TALES OF THE JEDI

So this is an interesting question and one that was raised at the end of Tales of the Jedi when Dooku told Palpatine that Qui Gon could have been a powerful ally, had he not died. Sidious said, for you, and the conversation started to shift. So today, let’s discuss the possibility of qui-gon actually turning away from the Jedi and joining Dooku. Now before we begin we need to understand Qui-Gon a little bit better for those new to the channel and to Star Wars. Qui-Gon was a maverick. He went his own way. He wasn’t on the Jedi council by choice, he knew the decisions he made and his overall view of the force was what made him unfit in the council’s eyes. For example, many fans would argue that qui-gon Jinn’s use of the force to manipulate the chance cube with Watto was an act of the Dark Side, or rather, more in the middle of light and dark, grey some would call it.

This is why he would have literally been the best father figure and teacher to Anakin, preventing his whole downfall. Now, here’s an excerpt from the book master and apprentice which is canon. It’s a quote from qui-gon jinn to rael aveross who was once Dooku’s apprentice that Qui-Gon grew close with.
