Thanks for the responses, everyone. Seeing as there isn't a concrete, go-to answer tells me I can basically make something up. I like the idea that SpreadsheetAg mentioned in that Jedi essentially look inward to right wrongs, might go on walkabouts to re-center, etc. So if there's not an "official" Jedi "rehab" program/location, this particular Jedi could essentially be sent to some random planet known for its serenity or healing powers or walkabouts or whatever. And it's less of an official thing and more of a "go here and seek out this place or person" kind of thing.

Once at this planet, though, I need X, Y, and Z to happen, so it becomes less about the rehab itself and more about something unexpected going on behind the scenes; something secret and nefarious going on with the war.

And yes, while this character and Qui-Gon would be somewhat similar, I see this character as having way more disdain for the current state of affairs, is more disgruntled, curmudgeon, etc, and we actually see him fall off the wagon, in his introduction. My comps are Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, or Javier Bardem - basically a big-name actor in their 50s/60s.

I'll counter your actors with a few more comedic options.

How about William H. Macy, Vince Vaughan, Will Farrell, or Owen Wilson?

Now THAT I would pay to see.

My guy isn't dabbling with the Dark Side. Also, in a weird way, compared to my guy, Docku actually has his sh*t together.

Oh, I'm sure. But for a pitch you can basically say whatever. Then, on the off chance they actually buy it, that's when you start connecting all those dots officially.

I really like him as an actor, but I'd first want to swing for the fences in terms of star power.

You're a cycle behind. Efron's cool again.

No, not like Luke.

I just need to quit talking about it, because I can't say more, and thus can't specify exactly what separates the characters.
