Count Dooku Avoided Qui-Gon Jinn

 

Hello! I have a theory that Count Dooku intentionally avoided Qui-Gon Jinn after he left the Jedi Order. This is interesting only because Dooku visited the Jedi Temple on Coruscant many times after leaving the Order. Examining passages from Padawan by Kiersten White, Master & Apprentice by Claudia Gray, and Brotherhood by Mike Chen, I think we can deduce that Dooku was purposefully not speaking to Qui-Gon, but not because he disliked him by any means. I think he avoided his former Padawan for quite the opposite reason, actually; Dooku admired and respected Qui-Gon too much to involve him in his own affairs.
