Jedi Dark Knight said:Akwat Kbrana said:Also, vis-a-vis Dooku leaving after taking out Obi-Wan and Anakin...I think the idea is that he's a Jedi, not a Sith in these fanedits. Thus, he has no reason to murder them; he only needs to neutralize them so he can make his escape. Their disagreement is primarily political, not religious.
Religion has nothing to do with dispatching the two Jedi, Obi-Wan is a threat on a political level since he knows the TF Viceroy is behind the attempt on Padme's life, Obi-Wan was a hostage, from every point of view if he is starting a war, which is why he is building so many battle droids, if he leaves two Jedi out there they could heal and come after him, tactics in war dictate he should have finished them, religion or no religion, at that point they were beyond politics and right into open war tactics, and tacts indicate dispatch your heavy threats....leaving that just makes him a weak character. But as Jason N said: whatever....
That's just idiotic. To engage the enemy in armed combat is noble and permitted by the Jedi code. To mercilessly cut down an unarmed opponent is not. Dooku, being a Jedi, is idealogically and religiously restrained from committing murder. Whether or not something is politically expedient is, to a Jedi, entirely secondary to whether or not it's morally right.
