Why Qui-Gon Jinn Secretly DISLIKED the Jedi - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars the Phantom Menace - Qui-Gon Jinn was introduced to us as the Jedi Master who defied the council rules and therefore was not on the council itself.

I think this is why Qui-Gon made Obi-Wan promise to train the boy, because he knew he'd do it his way, instead of the council's. by Star Wars Theory

Star Wars REVEALS Why Dooku Left the Jedi Order NEW CANON STORY EXPLAINED: Count Dooku is one of the coolest and most underrated characters in Star Wars. Trained by Master Yoda, and Master to Qui-Gon Jinn who taught Obi-Wan Kenobi, to teach Anakin Skywalker...he's kind of like Anakin's great grandfather so to speak.

WHY Did Qui Gon Jinn Lose to Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace - Star Wars Explained: Qui-Gon Jinn was one of the finest swordsman in the Jedi Order, he had frequent sparring practice and experience with the most talented duelists such as: his mentor, Count Dooku, Mace Windu, the creator of Vaapad which harnessed darkisde and lightside energies, Master Yoda, and Jedi Weapon Master Anoon Bondara. Jinn was a master of the fourth form of lightsaber combat, Ataru. The same form Yoda used and focused highly on aggressive acrobat maneuvers. In combat, his bladework was wide and powerful, marked by heavy, two-handed strikes, followed by a quick parry to cover his vulnerable spots. Despite the form's weakness to blaster fire, Jinn's mastery of Ataru was so good that he could easily defeat blaster-wielding opponents. by Star Wars Theory
