Tales of the Jedi (Dooku episodes) + TCW

I really loved the Dooku episodes in TotJ, and was wondering, but I don’t know TCW well enough to know the answer to this. Has anyone thought of a way of creating a movie or multiple movies with the Dooku eps from TotJ with some of his Clone Wars episodes?

ETA:

Eddie Dean had a great idea to use Yoda’s Sifo-Diyas quest and I think that would really work. I looked at them all and I think it could totally work like this, cutting "Choices, and slipping “Justice” in as a flashback right after Dooku chooses to not attend Qui-Gon Jinn’s funeral.

• “The Sith Lord” (“Justice” contained within this episode)
• “The Lost One”
• “Voices”
• “Destiny”
• “Sacrifice”

The total running time would be 137 minutes before any cuts, transitions that might be necessary. Not sure what I would call it yet. But I like how it shows why Dooku was turned, how they tried to turn Yoda, but yet he did not. There’s a nice symmetry there. And it would fit nicely between AOTC/ROTS/TCW at some point because it contains key characters (Anakin, OBW, QGJ, Palpy, Dooku, Ahsoka, etc.)

I considered this- they add up to 45 minutes so aren’t a movie on their own, but I think the main concern trying to make a movie from it is that Dooku doesn’t have much character in TCW beyond cartoon villainy. The most interesting Dooku stuff is probably the Nightsisters arc, though that’s not really a Dooku story, and perhaps Scipio, where he’s involved in fairly “Imperial” stuff but again he’s not a major focus. But probably best, you do have the Yoda arc going into Sifo-Dyas, which gives some good Dooku/Sidious stuff too, that could work.

Ah, I was thinking of the Sifo-Dyas arc myself! I think that might be it after all!

I wish we could have seen dooku meeting sidious for the first time finding out palpatine and sidious were One in the same turning on syfo dyas starting the clone army etc. those pieces shouldn’t have been excluded not even remotely.

I agree, but I like how this gives us more of a story on him, and fleshes him out in between AOTC and ROTS. I’m slowly building my ultimate epic SW Saga movie collection that will include my preferred movie edits, tv show edits into films, etc. And this will now be part of it.

I have not worked on this. I didnt really think there was much interest, but I can certainly dip my toes back into looking back into it since no one else has looked at doing it.

A project I’ve always intended to do is to do a MAJOR cut down of TCW into 3 to 4 ninety minute movies.

With one of the middle movies, I’d want to put a major focus on Count Dooku, and in that one, I intend to use the storylines in those episodes as a flashback plot we see throughout that particular movie.

But I have not started this project at all.

I find the idea of a Tales + Clone Wars edit interesting, so I’d be keen to see what you can come up with for Dooku.

My instinct on this would be to combine Dooku’s Tales arc + The Lost One episode, while keeping the Yoda episodes separate, though I can see why you’d want to combine them all into a film edit.

Oh, that would be interesting too. There are just so many ways to go!
