I really like the Obi-Wan part, with his parents loving him even though they know they have to give him up. It's sad but sweet.
Dooku's entire culture is just slightly creepy, what with the nannydroids and the engineering out of annoying but neccessary traits like babies crying when they're distressed. I can completely see that being his history, though, because his Jedi arrogance combined with their attitudes after he left the Order would make for hubris that could easily be corrupted.
Xanatos is cute, but when Qui-Gon thinks there is none of his father's arrogance in him... ouch. Also, I love the implication that Qui-Gon was just Knighted and this is the first time he's handled a child.
Oh, tiny!Qui-Gon. :whimper: It's a lot about Dooku there too -- I love the idea that he forced Qui-Gon into the Order, and then sort of monitored his life until claiming him as Padawan. Though I do have to wonder about an Order that would reject a child who while only marginally sensitive is *skilled* like that at the age of four; he might not have had enormous strength in the Force, but his talent at exploiting his abilities to the fullest would have made him criminally dangerous if he hadn't been taken by the Jedi. And yes, Qui-Gon is the sort who would use his own name to flail himself quietly; you are implying that he chose his own surname, instead of using his family's name, aren't you?
