Bear in mind, he has just tracked the Bounty Hunter there, so is under the impression that Dooku is behind Amidala's attempted assassination.

Even though, in my edit, he's not.

Although, I agree. The hostility at the level it is currently does seem a bit unjustified. It's as if Obi doesn't even take in what Dooku has just told him. He should at least question whether he's being told the truth or not. I don't know how this can be fixed though. This was a flaw in the original cut as well as mine.

I will have a go at shifting around the "I don't believe you" to replace the more hostile "I will never join you, Dooku" but I don't know if this can be pulled off effectively. I'd need another cutaway to replace it where it is originally. We'll see.

hey i have a couple of ideas regarding that scene.

1. How about after Dooku says "Join me Obi Wan and together we can destroy the Sith!" we have Obi Wan that stays silent. So Dooku has his answer in silent protest, similar to luke aboard the death star when the emperor is tempting him.

2. The alternative is maybe havin Dooku just say "Join me Obi Wan!" as if he means join the seperatists. Then Obi Wan can respond "I will never join you!" which in turn will strengthen Obi Wan loyalty to the republic and strengthen his comment in Epi 3.
