its dooku in the game star wars bounty hunter at the end dooku asks jango if he would like to clone himeself for immortality so if dooku thought it up its dooku just using jango for his plans tho
It was quite clearly stated in Episode II. The Prime Minister of Kamino says Sifo Dyas was a member of the Jedi Council. Qui-Gon was never on the Council, due to his maverick ways. The deaths of the two so close are mere coincidence. It's not him; END OF THREAD.

But it was Dooku. He was technically on the council as one time and could just say that he was Syfo Dias. Would you put it past him? Anyway, it's not QGJ, case closed, end of discussion.
I sort of had the theory that Darth Plaqueis might have been Sipha Dias, Perhaps the original Sith Takeover plan was for Sipha Dias to become head of the Jedi Council while Palpatine became Supreme Chancallor, however due to Sidious's impatience and power hungry attitute could not wait for Plaqueis's plan to work so he killed him. This would mean that Sidious trained Maul in secret while Plaqueis lived. This cuts everything pretty close but doesn't Obi Wan say to Mace and Yoda that he thought he died longer than 10 years ago. Either way the new Darth Plaqueis book will tear this theory all to hell anyway.
I always thought it would be neat if it was Qui-Gon.
1. We know Qui-Gon often went against the council.
2. Qui-Gon had a close relationship with Dooku.
Especially obvious when Dooku told Kenobi that Qui-Gon would have joined him (which honestly I think he might have and been the one non-corrupt element of the CIS)
It would give Qui-Gon a greater lasting impact in the saga.
Whatever, it fit, especially the time of death. But I would have rather Kenobi said "never heard of him" rather than "oh I knew him and he died"
