Another fascinating glimpse into what Might Have Been. I liked Dooku, Qui-Gon, and Obi-Wan's interactions, and Yoda was very well written as well.

Thanks! We had a lot of fun writing them; glad you liked it. :)

Hmmm. I might almost be able to believe this might come to a better ending than the films, if it weren't for the fact that I don't trust Qui-Gon any further than I can throw him (which is to say, not at all). Still. It was nice to see Dooku prod the dunderhead into explaining Obi-Wan's readiness for the Trials, and I do believe he would've been able to help them make short work of Maul (though he probably had his efforts hampered by Qui-Gon). And this reminds me of why I decided in my own overgrown AU to've made Dooku offer Qui-Gon help for the mission (though Qui-Gon refused him), because it is something that Dooku would have wanted to do.

Mm. I think it's safe to say we don't share quite the same interpretation of Qui-Gon. :) But it does seem as if Dooku would have been more than willing to help take on Maul. And sometimes you really do need a third party to poke you about voicing the things you think someone else is taking for granted. (We've played with some general not-talking past each other with other characters as well. It does get frustrating if overdone, but we try not to get too carried away. ;))

*Nods and shrugs* Eh, s'okay. I think I'm one of the few people in the world who really can't stand the puffed up hypocrite guy.

I'm enjoying these little AU takes on Dooku - each one so far has allowed a specific insight to his character that, when added up altogether, will yield a fairly complete picture of Dooku as he was in his prime, before bitterness and disappointment set their hooks in his soul and started dragging him down to his doom.

Loved the character voices and banter. :)
