My favorite part of this is that with some of the non-movie (and still canon) content it creates a sort of through line of rebellious Jedi to Anakin. Most of this comes from the Clone Wars CG series.

Yoda trained Dooku, who felt that the Jedi had a bigger purpose in protecting freedom and left the Jedi to lead the separatist movement against the Republic until he got manipulated into the dark side by Sidious.

Dooku trained Qui-Gon, who very flagrantly followed his own code within the Jedi but pushing against the edges.

Qui-Gon trained Obi-Wan, who appears very traditional in the movies, but really only when put against Anakin's rebelliousness. He fell in love with a Mandalorian diplomat (during their brief period of pacifism) and says he would have left the order for her, had she but asked. There's also evidence that he knew of Anakin and Padme's relationship far earlier than when everything goes to shit, and just... let it happen to a certain degree.

Through to Anakin, who has elements of all of them including Dooku's feeling that Jedi needed to do more in the galaxy.

Really nice analysis, thanks for this.

I didn't realise that Obi had romances -- for anyone who wants to read more:

Ohh I get it. I call you master, and when I'm grown I'll get to be a master, too

Well, mayyybe, but only after you, a fatherless child who has also already lost a father surrogate, will get ordered to spy on your next father figure who comes along, which in no discernable way will backfire spectacularly.
