The Jedi are taking over!

Sensing Master Windu is about to very dramatically draw his lightsaber back to swing at Palpatine rather than just stabbing him to death, Anakin abandons his cleaning duties and rushes to his aid.

You're probably thinking to yourself that of course Master Windu would go for a swing, stabs have an abysmal success rate. However, we all know that's simply not true in the Prequel trilogy, consider Darth Maul, cut in half and survived, whereas Qui Gon died after being poked in his tummy :(

Now, you're probably going to counter by bringing up Count Dooku, but in my heart I firmly believe that if Maul survived being cut in half and thrown down an apparently bottomless pit, and Palpatine can survive also being thrown down an apparently bottomless pit and then being exploded(?) then Dooku may as well have survived being decapitated.

I like to think he went on to escape the Invisible Hand and started a new life playing high stakes gambling games in the underbelly of Coruscant, where he'd see great success, despite lacking a body. He'd make puns like "I'm far ahead of you" or "oh, my head's not in this game," as he played and it would give everyone around him a good old chuckle. After many years and learning of Palpatine's first and second deaths, he'd finally retire at a ripe old age, peacefully passing away in his sleep a couple of years later, surrounded by his friends and loved ones. Perhaps he'd even repent of the dark side, returning to the light as he hears the voices of his old master and former padawn embracing him as he joins with the force.

Anyway, that's my Dooku Head Canon.

If you like the work I do, why not use the force to influence your dollars to become my dollars?:   / membership  

The voices are AI generated, heavily edited by me to make them sound how I envision them. The exception to this are the lines "Anakin, I told you it would come to this! I was right! The Jedi are taking over!" "I have the power to save the one you love!" and "Henceforth you shall be known as Darth..." which were taken from the original film.

The quick text is as follows:

00:00 Anakin: Don’t worry master Windu, I’m coming to fulfil the prophecy as the chosen one and kill the Sith Lord my thesis identified, without any hesitation

00:17 Anakin: I mean… i arrived at an opportune time, i sensed i'd be able to talk about my thesis in a matter of minutes

00:47 Anakin: Can we talk about my thesis? Or literature criticism in general?

01:20 Palpatine: Anakin, I don’t think now is the right time for those kinds of conversations

01:23 Palpatine: Yes but that’s not quite what I had in mind (I accidentally cut this down way too much, my bad)

01:28 Palpatine: That is a phrase I’ve used but I’m not sure hyper-focusing on it right now is the best idea

02:12 Anakin: Of course, Padme had a rather interesting critique of it, when she noted that I had neglected to include a number of key philosophers in my analysis

02:35 Mace: Anakin he does that to everyone, it isn’t just a you thing

03:33 Anakin: By the way, your face looks…kinda funny
