Obi wan and Anakin vs. Count Dooku......

SW for me are the movies and only them, the rest is irrelevant to the plot. EU is like someone continued on the Lord Of the Rings trilogy.

everyone has their preferences. best to just agree to disagree.

prefrences or not even Lucas said that the books dont have too much to do with HIS Star Wars world

I didn't know that you guys don't accept EU as Star Wars, I do just my preference and I guess I apologize for using it as my land. I still consider EU being as great as the plot of the movies, being that the new Jedi during the Yuuzhan Vong wars are some of my favorite characters.

There is no problem with you liking EU, you may consider it equal to the films or better than the films or you may consider the films to be incomplete without it- that is your right to opinion. But it makes no difference to the organisation of this place- OFFICIALLY speaking they are not part of George Lucas' storyline and because of that we make the clear distinction on this forum, of EU belonging in its place. If that policy from Lucasfilm changes, then we will change ours too but right now- and for the forseeable future- that is just the way it is.

then I apologize to you Ush for arguing. /me whistles innocently as this goes back to topic. 🙂

no harm done grifta

(nods)

All happy happy then!

why did dooku leave the order in the first place? i heard its cause he thought the republic was being corrupted or something.
also, how did he become a jedi if he was from a wealthy and respectde family? i thought jedi could only start training at a young age?

we dont know too much of Dooku besides that he was Yodas apprentice, Qui Gon`s master and by the sounds of it in AOTC he left the order due to the corruption in the republic. "Head hunted" by Sideous and the dark side to become a sith apprentice
Actually thats all we know about Dooku.

i imagine yoda and the council would keep records of who dooku, as well as the rest of the jedi, were taken from.

guess so but we havent seen those though

Why, Mist, do you think that because he comes from a respectable family, he cannot have been trained at a young age? If the 'Count' title is hereditary, he would get it when he got it whether he had been taken to the Temple as a young child or not.

so was obi wan's name at birth in fact obi wan kenobi?

Anakin will have to kill Tyrannus. Like Yoda said at Qui-Gons funeral, "Always 2 there are, no more, no less. a master and an apprentice." So for Anakin to become Sidious' apprentice he'll have to kill Tyrannus. Only then can Sidious train him. Good that we get rid of Tyrannus, bad that we get Vader.

Anakin doesnt have to kill Dooku/Tyrannus to become the next sith apprentice. Dooku has to be die allright, but it doesnt have to be by Anakins hand.
we dont know if Obi Wan is his birth name. But like QJG he have three names

i dont think anakin will have to kill dooku either. after all, dooku didnt kill darth maul, did he? i also think that infant padawans are given new names once they are selected. i dont know why i think this, i just do. anakin was an exception, because he was already about 10 years old and knew himself by that name. JUST A THEORY.

after all, dooku didnt kill darth maul, did he?

no but Dooku was taken on as an Apprentice after Obi-Wan killed Darth Maul. Since there's no more no less than 2 siths, Sidious had to find a new person, and Dooku had just turned away from the jedi order right after Maul was killed.

the match would have lasted much longer and then when yoda walked in he would jump right in and kill him and it would screw the whole story line up
