Okay hear me out--
-Per The Living Force, Sifo-Dyas is a Seeker with a bad reputation for bringing in kids who "make poor candidates" for Jedi training
-Dooku trains Rael Averross as his Padawan, who, brought to the Temple at age 5, is the oldest child accepted to the Jedi before Anakin IS THIS ANYTHING????? Does Sifo-Dyas, super early in his Seeker career, get puppy-eyed by a hungry little street kid Rael and brings him home? The Council isn't too happy, leaning toward no, and Sifo-Dyas goes to his best friend about it? Is this the reason that in TPM, Qui-Gon thinks just demanding that the nine-year-old is his apprentice now is the way around the Council's decision that he's too old to be trained?? Council: We've decided and we're sorry, Sifo-Dyas, at five he's just too old to... Dooku: *lunging into the room* Dooku: ItakeRaelAverrossasmyPadawanLearner!!!! Council: Aren't you like 23?? Council: Also you can't take a five year old as Padawan??? Council: ...actually, this is a closed session, how did you even get in here?!
