Okay, let's just say that Dooku is as old as Lee, and I think that's 78 in AOTC. I thought I read that Qui-Gon was 60 when he died. That would make Dooku 8 years older than Qui-Gon. So, is it that difficult to believe that Dooku could have been 21 and Qui-Gon 13 when he began being a Padawan. I don't think so. That's not terribly different from OB1, 25, and Anakin, almost 10, at the end of TPM.
Personally, I don't think Dooku is QGJ's teacher. GL said that everything that Dooku was telling Obi-Wan in that scene was a lie and that Obi-Wan knew it and stated "I don't believe you." Although, I like when Dooku says quietly "I wish he were still alive. I could use his help."

NO way that QGJ was in his 60's in ESP I , more like mid to late 40's! ANd I say the Count was in his 70's! I for one have been unimpressed with GL attention to detailsl like this. THere are too many other mess ups with peoples age like this: in ESP II we meet Anakins half brother Owen, but wasnt it suppose to be about 10 years later(after ESP 1) that Anakin comes back to Tantoonie? Owen is obviously older than 10 or 11 , he looks the same age as anakin to me?? Also OB1' s age in ESP 4 is much older than he will be if ESP. 3 is suppose to tie into ESP 4?? Because Im going to guess that in ESP 3 OB1 will be about 35 or so, and if we are going to see Luke and Lei as babies in ESP 3 , then Im guessing that Luke is about 18 in ESP 4 ,so it wont work! To me , OB1 looks to be in his 70's in ESP 4 but it will only be about 18 yrs after ESP 3( 35 + 18= 53) no way OB1 is 53 in ESP 4!! Anybody else agree or have other mess ups??
Nope, I am afraid you have made the mess-up there. Owen IS Anakin's half-brother, in that he is the son of his mother's husband. There is no BLOOD relation between the two. So no need for Owen to be of any age that you point out, he probably IS Anakin's age.
If Obi-Wan was in his mid twenties in TPM, he was in his mid thirties in AOTC, will be not much older in episode III, and hence in his late fifties by A New Hope, very close indeed to Alec Guiness' age as he portrayed him- regardless of how old you thought he looked, he was not!
And QGJ was at least in his 50s in TPM, I believe
I believe Qui Gon was in his late fourties or early fifties,but no older than that,in THe Phantom Menace. Obi-Wan is supposed to be in his mid-twenties in that film.At least that is according to information included in the Jedi Apprentice series,which featured both in adventures prior to The Phantom Menace.
