Yeah, I think you're right.
My last word on this, is just that this "Sifo Dyas" detail has never disturbed me. It has made me curious about it, but it's all.

You know what, I just watched it on Fox tonight at work and very little about the film makes sense. But, I don't think that was the topic, was it?

well sort of, but the main thing Is I'm just curious if there is a way editorially to remove the name sifodyas and still have the film make sense. attribute the ordering of the clones to someone else.

Obviously the Kaminions could be redubed or subtitled. but obi-wan, jango and yoda/mace all discuss the ordering of the clone army. thats where it gets tricky.

Yes, but Sifo Dyas isn't the only thing that doesn't make any sense. Dooku's discussion with Obi Wan about Jango and the Sith seems completely out of place. While I understand he is trying to trick Obi Wan, it certainly just seems like he is tired and out of the loop. Then, when he beats down both Obi Wan and Anakin, he looks upset about what he has done...but there is no way that he could be confused about right and wrong as Anakin was. Dooku seems dismayed a Sith is in power, but does everything every step of the way to help him.

He's not conflicted, it just seems like half of it was shot during production and half of it was shot during pickups and then it was all blended together.

But Yoda, Mace and (IIRC) Jango don't even mention the name. I think Obi-wan is the only one who mentions it, so that's the only part you really have to work on. Maybe someone could dub in "A Jedi" (for example) over "Sifo-Dyas". This way, it can later be linked to Dooku.

(I could be wrong about Obi-wan being the only one to state it, other than the Kaminoans. It's early, and I'm tired. )

You're right. I watched it last night and I found that the whole line can be cut and it allows it to still flow. The Kaminos say his name, and Obi Wan says his name. That's it.

Hi everyone,

I'm of the opinion that the Syphodias plot point was stupid because it was never resolved. There are some things where you want to be vague and make the audience think, and there are other things that just generate confusion and frustration if they aren't resolved.

Rebel Scumb- I would tell you what the answer to this puzzle is, but I promised MagnoliaFan not to tell anyone else. But if he'd like to tell you himself, that'd be great. I would PM him immediately if I were you.

yes but we run into trouble with

"then you must know master sifo dyas"

"master who?"

"Sifo dyas, is he not the jedi who hired you for this job?"

"never heard of him"

"really?"

"I was recruited by a man called tyrannus on one of the moons of bogden"

Also, if we are not to attribute the ordering to Sifo Dyas then who?

There's no need to resolve the matter of Master Sifo Dyas. Last time I checked, the Sith are all about deception, mystery, and misinformation. I like the idea that the Jedi can't get to the bottom of that one and that we have no answers. Besides, it was inferred, at least from my point of view, that Dooku/Tyrannus was partly responsible for the misdirection when Jango Fett named Tyrannus as his recruiter.

Give me mysteries. It doesn't all have to be spoon-fed to us. Let us be just as much in the dark about the whole truth as the Jedi and the Senate were.

I agree. After all, I thought all those PT haters had a problem with Lucas showing them everything. Well, you've got your wish now.

As I said before, try to cover up "Sifo Dyas" with "A Jedi".

There is 'mystery' and then there is this. It has to go somewhere. Otherwise it looks like cheap writing by throwing out something that doesn't make any sense, and then just letting it die and calling it 'mystery'. See the new version of Planet of the Apes.

On second thought...don't.

I agree that the jedi shouldn;t know, but the audience should have some indication. And in order to cut out the references to sifodyas, we have to cut out the part where Jango says he was hired by Tyrannus. Which is the only reference to that name other then in the final scene with sidious, so then we DON'T know that dooku was involved with the ordering of the clones.

Here's something out of left field I thought up you might find interesting:

LAMA SU: Please tell your Master Qui-Gon Jinn that we have every confidence his order will be met on time and in full.
OBI-WAN: I'm sorry? Master - ?
LAMA SU: Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. He's still a leading member of the Jedi Council, is he not?
OBI-WAN: Master Jinn was killed almost ten years ago.
LAMA SU: Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that. But I'm sure he would have been proud of the army we've built for him.


OBI-WAN: Then you must know Master Qui-Gon Jinn?
JANGO FETT: Master who?
OBI-WAN: Qui-Gon Jinn. Is he not the Jedi who hired you for this job?
JANGO FETT: Never heard of him.
OBI-WAN: Curious.

OBI-WAN: They say [cut]a[cut] Master Qui-Gon placed the order for a clone army at the request of the Senate almost ten years ago. Did the Council ever authorize the
creation of a clone army? (With maybe another line about how Qui-Gon couldn't have or whatever.)

Though there wouldn't be any resolution, it might be interesting to go that route. If you had to explain it, it could be assumed Dooku ordered the clones in his deceased apprentice's name.

I see this classic PT debate has sort-of fizzled out, no feelings hurt, or poop slung... that's good.

In the end, what does it matter? GL will probably change it anyway.

This is the thing I never got about the whole clone/Sifo Dyas plot:

Why the Jedi don't have a problem taking on an army that has dubious origins at best that was cloned after THE EVIL BOUNTY HUNTER Jango Fett who was hanging out with THE EVIL SEPARATIST Count Dooku.

Fett tells Kenobi that he takes orders from Tyrannus and then he leaves and goes to kick it with Dooku. How did they at least not think that something was up with that! And shouldn't Fett have been like, What the Heck?, when his own clones show up to kill him? But I guess he was already dead by then. So nevermind...

Is the "Xh" supposed to be pronounced like "F"?

It's Albanian.

The Xh is pronounced like a "J". That makes Xhonzi the equivalent of "Jonesy" My last name is Jones (which is comon) so I use Xhonzi, (which isn't) as my handle.

So has my Qui-Gon idea already been suggested, or is it just stupid or what? Just wondering...

Well, the Jedi don't know that Jango Fett is with Dooku until after Yoda has used the Clones to attack the Seperatists. Since they work so successfully, and are actually under the control of the Chancellor who has Supreme Powers now, there really isn't much they can do. They are losing their control, civil war is on the brink and they are desperate.
