You should add a part where Anakin falls in love with, and eventually, marries Padmé Amidala, presuming he still has feelings for her. Also, just had an idea for a future video: _What If Qui-Gon and Dooku Both Left the Jedi Order, and Founded a New JEDI ACADEMY Together?_

[@joshuaschreiber1914]

I’ve always loved the idea of Dooku not only surviving to die a natural death (rather than by betrayal), but also remain in the light. And having Anakin remain a powerful jedi at peace with himself is just perfect. Love this video! It’s now one of my favorite scenarios, written just like this!

[@krismikewill]

The interesting thing about Dooku and Anakin is even if they have totally polarizing upbringings, they both shared the same conclusion that the outer rim is a horrid place that is being forsaken by the Republc or even used conveniently. IF Dooku trained him, Anakin would be able to handle the chaos raging around him as the way of form 2 compells to control the situation.

I wonder what Count Doku was like when he was a Jedi

[@doomsterr]

As a young jedi he was kind of a dick with no friends and as much arrogance as ambition. As an older jedi he was a wise and helpfull man, but strict and very serious.

[@FantasyFolklore]

Very strict and serious for sure

[@nealsmall9316]

@@doomsterr That doesn't surprise me I can see it come to think of it

[@TheTrueAdept]

@@doomsterr sounds like Anakin in some ways...

[@doomsterr]

@@TheTrueAdept One of the reasons the Count despised the young Skywalker was because he saw too much of himself in the Chosen One. Dooku was a man who wanted to be the best of the best and worked hard for it. Then all of a sudden a nine year old boy enters the frame and is apparently to some prophecy the Chosen One that was to bring balance to the force. Dooku hated this idea that any jedi would have some sort of boost to the top after all his hard work to get too and stay at the top.

[@deathsquad8891]

A nice alternative timeline, but the Nightsisters would never join the Sith/Separatists. They are explained to never have been craving power and control outside their homeworld, even if they're dark side practitioners. Asajj might still join Sidious because she is force sensitive and could be corrupted to the dark side, but Talzin and the rest of the clan would be content with Dathomir alone.

[@FantasyFolklore]

Maybe, Palpatine is a very cunning and persuasive man..

[@theonemasterwarhero]

I liked this alternate what if...Dooku would of definitely been the best choice of teacher for Anakin after the death of Qui-Gon...I never believed Dooku was ever bad even when he became a sith (he never had sith eyes which tells me he was always in control) I think it was more of getting close to Sidious to eventually get rid of him but Dooku ended up falling into the trap by Sidious.

[@hannahskeldon7944]

That's what I think too.

[@theonemasterwarhero]

@@hannahskeldon7944 👍

[@jordanelza8806]

I never cease to be amazed at how many different ways things could’ve happened. Like in most what if situations, things turn out far better for Anakin, which he deserved. After Qui-Gon, Dooku was likely the best teacher for Anakin, since Dooku and Qui-Gon viewed things in very similar ways. 1:15 to 1:32 They respected the ways of the Jedi, but were not afraid to disobey the Jedi ways when they were obviously wrong. 12:30 Especially at this point, I couldn’t agree more with Dooku’s choice. I’d join him in this case. 13:03 Perhaps he had the ability to rebuild the ancient Je-Daii order who balanced the light and dark.

[@FantasyFolklore]

I was tempted to go that route, mention balance between Ashla and Bogan but I don't think a lot of people know that lore...

[@RedDragonForce2]

Alternate Universe of this idea: Anakin is still rejected from Jedi Training, and Padme’s family, at Padme’s request, adopts Anakin to raise him with a family that would care for him. Dooku, who had left the order, approaches Anakin and the Amidala family with an offer to train the Boy in the Ways of the Force. Not the rigid rules of the Jedi, but a Force User who protects the weak and innocent. Having left the Order, Dooku would also be free to retrieve Shmi Skywalker from Tatooine, even if it meant using Separatist Money to do so had Padme been unable to arrange her freedom beforehand. Growing up together would allow Padme to bond with Anakin over the course of years rather than a rushed bonding over the course of days, and they would be truly in love and Marry when Anakin was of age, as he was the younger of the two. Dooku and Padme would also be able to talk politics freely and come to understand each others view on the Republic and why the Confederation Separatists disagree with the current government. This would help better communicate between the two factions and hopefully find a better resolution than a 4 year war under Palpatine’s manipulations. When the Jedi discover Anakin trained by Dooku, they are understandably wary of him, but he wasn’t a Sith, just a force User. Though with influence from Sidious, Dooku and Anakin wouldn’t exactly be on the same side as the Jedi. The Jedi would have to change and adapt to prevent the purge from happening, either by Order 66 or another plan entirely. If not, then with their numbers reduced significantly, the force becomes more balanced, since Anakin isn’t a Jedi OR Sith unless Sidious convinces him the Jedi are out to kill Padme and his family or something. Thoughts? I know there’s a lot of unanswered questions and events, but it would certainly make for a better narrative than “Dooku stays with the Jedi”.

[@SilentHotdog28]

Dooku and Qui-Gon would have made excellent teachers for Anakin, grey jedi commited to the people, imagine if all 3 of them survived, working together.

[@ianmetcalfe7389]

Dooku was the perfect master for Anakin. Dooku has massive knowledge of the force and is a master dualist. Anakin wouldn't have dare answer back or step out of line with dooku. They also wouldn't have been the power struggle like ani and obi because dooku was way more powerful and ani wouldn't have surpassed him as an apprentice.

If Count Dooku trained Anakin, he would reach his full potentional much more earlier, it would be the best choice for Anakin ♥

[@drkskwlkr]

A lovely theory. I've always thought that young Obi-Wan had a tendency to look down on others ('...we've picked up another pathetic life form') and he was a terrible teacher for Anakin. At least in the movies, he also never showed he cared about people the way Qui-Gonn did (and Dooku, in the animated series). Had Anakin been trained by Dooku, I have the feeling he would never turn into a Sith, and the Count himself would probably not leave the Order but would rather fight for his beliefs from the inside, the way Qui-Gonn did.

This is incredible, Mr. Fanasty Folkore! Anakin being trained by Dooku is a better alternative than Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, and the fact that Shimi Skywalker gets life is very satisfying for me also; I'm confused about why Anakin didn't try to have a relationship with Padme, but hey, it your story and you can do whatever you want with it. This video reminds me of the High Republic novel series with Dooku creating his own Order that will allow attachments, older people and those from different parts of the galaxy despite their upbringing. This is the best alternative option for Dooku should have done instead of joining Sidious and Anakin, becoming the Master of the Order of this new Jedi Order, and I would love to see a sequel of this video. Please keep up the fantastic work, and may the force be with you!

[@brutalstuff1653]

As much as Dooku treated Qui Gon as his own child as he was his apprentice, if he was in the order he would’ve likely taken the role to train Anakin for sure. He could’ve helped him over come his anger and emotions would’ve treated Anakin like a grandson.

[@TimberlakeTigerGirl]

Anakin really needed a father figure and Obi Wan was more of a brother which is why they often clashed. But with Dooku training him, Anakin would of gotten not just a father figure but a grandfather. Someone who wouldn't put up with his bs, kept him in his place. But wouldn't shame him for feeling a certain way about things like the Jedi and Obi Wan (to an extent) did. He would of helped Anakin get control of his darker impulses while also being himself and be his confidant regarding personal stuff. If the Padme romance still occurred with Dooku raising Anakin, I feel like it would go one of two ways. Either he would allow it but make Anakin understand that he can't let his love for her cloud his judgement. Or he would forbid it but would help Anakin understand why he needs to let Padme go without being condescending about it. As for Shmi; I would hope that Dooku would go to Tattooine, free her and either reunite Anakin with his mom. Or take her back to Serenno and see to it that she's taken care of. That way Anakin wouldn't be so wounded up if he knew his mom was not a slave anymore and living comfortably and can visit her.

What would Padme think and feel about this more cultured and intellectually minded Anakin, and his opinions on failures of Republic. And the return of Darth Maul, the killer of Qui-Gon would provide a perfect nemesis for Dooku, and would permit for old master's darker side to peek through at times.
