One day, I'll find a Star Wars video on YouTube entitled "The Jedi Were Good and Did Nothing Wrong. Fight Me."

The crossover no one asked for

So, I was scrolling on reels post-shower. As one does. And I came across a video of what I'm pretty sure is a yellow lab grabbing a fish in its mouth that is nearly the length of its entire body. And then I thought, what if they did this with Clifford in Jaws??? I honestly think it could work. Does anyone else see my vision here?

I just think it would have been really funny for Dooku to have fallen into a coma right toward the end of the Clone Wars, and when the war ended abruptly, have had one of his assorted underlings hide his medical stasis pod somewhere so the new Empire can’t find him

and then be woken up decades later by this teacherless young Jedi, Luke Skywalker, who, due to the state of education in the Outer Rim (especially under the Empire), has no clue who Dooku was

Luke, who immediately clocks the cool lightsaber and Force use and thinks that he’s finally found a Jedi, and starts begging for Dooku to teach him

Dooku, of course, takes one look at the Empire that his Sith Master has built and the new apprentice who’s taken his place, and metaphorically shoves the bled crystal of his lightsaber into a closet and says oh of course, Jedi, that’s me, I’ll teach you

by this point, Obi-Wan’s trying to tear out his ghostly hair in indignation; Qui-Gon, on the other hand, thinks that this is the best entertainment he’s had since he died

no one left alive in the Rebellion knows that Dooku was anything other than a former Jedi who became a political leader for the Separatists, and as far as they’re concerned, having organized a resistance against Palpatine even before he declared himself Emperor is all the qualifications they need to accept him with open arms

of course, Luke immediately introduces his new teacher to Leia, one of his best friends and a fellow former politician

and now Dooku has to live with the knowledge that not only did Skywalker have a son, he ALSO has a daughter, now he has to figure out how to teach TWO of them at the same time
