What If Count Dooku Executed ORDER 65 on Palpatine? 

I just imagine Dooku having a comically large journal and just frustratingly flipping through each page like- Dooku: Alright let’s see now…*Flips through various pages* …Order 9…No that’s yip tip Tuesday… …Order 37…NO G__ NO! *Flips through faster* Why did I create so many blasted orders?! Ah here we are order 65.

Basically, Dooku ended up as the chosen one, if you think about it. He seems to have a Machiavellian leadership style. "Commit all your atrocities at once, so that they may be forgotten with time. It's simple to hold onto power, just don't oppress the people."

*after Dooku won* Dooku: the time has come! Execute order 67! *thus started a galaxy wide dance party*

Good for Dooku, finally good things happen to good people.

Part two, please! Dooku wanted what was best for the galaxy. What if the Yuzang Vong attacked the galaxy during Dookus reign, leading to him and the jedi teaming up to defeat the issue, and, along the way, the Jedi fully realize their mistakes and Dooku allows them to return to Coruscant after the war with the Vong ends.

This is great further shows how dumb the jedi counsel is. Here is the order they should have given the clones: “hide in unknown space until your entire legions chips are removed accept no transmission until the chips are removed then return to us immediately “

Basically how Sideous discarded Maul so easily would effect Dooku even more than normal lol

A rebellion against Dooku might begin with secret conspiracies to remove inhibitor chips from a few clones at a time without raising suspicions. Mandalore serves as a base for Jedi and old republic sympathizers to conspire, but any active rebels would operate from remote outposts so they would not be traced directly back to the world giving them shelter. Over time, eroding Dooku's control over the clones and hacking central droid control could create an opportunity for action. But if Dooku's rule was tolerable, they may decide just wait for his advanced age to do the job for them.

I have really come to appreciate your ability to tell a story from "what ifs" in a detailed, relatively-accurate/historic, and lengthy manner. I do believe Dooku is overall "trying" to do the right thing, but to do such leads one to commit acts they thought themselves not capable in the past, irrevocably altering who he would end up becoming. However, to have not done so, he would have been like the Jedi, and allowed such rot to continue. While it is true the SITH were machinating behind galactic affairs for a millennia, all it takes is a little sunlight for weeds to grow... I liked the dialogue with Maul. I am not sure if others feel the same way, yet when certain characters speak a particular way, such as being enigmatic/cryptic, and do not lift the veil from their tongue, the audience either doesn't get the knowledge they want clearly while attempting to be "mysterious", or simply a half-assed/baked conversation. This video in particular, causes me to appreciate the star wars galaxy far more than usual. Before work now, I imagine myself staring outside at the open field beside several suburban homes and the hazy sky. Then, I picture myself in the jedi spire staring out at the sky-traffic lazily drifting by - atmosphere helps ground us into the story, and I think you have become a lot better over time, even just between this and the last video. I am not sure if you have thought about it, but instead or doing point A - B stories, such as "What if Dooku had palpatine executed by clones . . . Dooku becomes Emperor", *what if* (hehe) you wrote a story based more on far-reaching implications, as well as things on a more down to Earth scale? That could be something along the lines of adding, "Dooku changed the government by adding X, Y, Z, and this is what happened. How it affected X, Y, Z. Because of these new changes, the corporate block blockaded several key worlds from trade until the revision made by Chancellor Dooku. With the Droids being loyal to the corporate sector leaders over Dooku (as I would expect them since they are made by their heads, not Dooku. Dooku was just given temporary command of them by the corporate leaders like Gunray.) another civil war might start since they would have wanted to keep profiting off their war trade, and now being in a victorious position, would seek more concessions than simply Dooku's noble pipe dream. Dooku would then be in Palpatines place, but not in control of the SEPs army, and effectively fighting an uphill battle with the CIS's innumerable odds. Sorry if that ended up being too much of a ramble part-way through, it is just a mere suggestion of how to add something like an after-story where because such a grand event such as the one told here occurs, that's the end. Thank you for the story! Keep working hard!

There is a simple solution to Dookus demand; make the Senate declare him Chancellor and then immediately enact order 65.

What about General Grievous? I imagine that he'd probably get angry about Dooku not destroying the Jedi Order, maybe to the point where he might go to behind Dooku's back and going after Jedi on his own, ambushing them.

What if Anakin was raised by Tusken Raiders? Would he be different in personality? Would the Jedi still discover him? Would he lead the Tuskens to take more territory? Etc

I imagine one line of continued tension between the Jedi order and Dooku's Empire would be the procurement of new force sensitives. Dooku was not as steeped in the traditions of the sith, and we know he had a penchant for training force sensitives into sith Acolytes. I could see Dooku creating a stronger version of the imperial Inquisitors, which would bring him in direct conflict with the jedi order, both in the dichotomy of the Jedi and the Sith, but also in who could claim force sensitives for their own. Perhaps that could be a strong point in a part two

have to hand it to Dooku sticking to his plan and carrying it out

Dooku does not need Republic to become a Galactic ruler. And he could not openly argue for Empire. Separatists already see him as a hero of liberty and are intensely loyal to him. Dooku's entire manifesto is that autocratic Republic cannot be fixed and to betray his principle would lose him support. Dooku would likely create Federation with himself as the Head of State. If given full military power over both armies, Dooku could just go on to dismantle systems of republic governance, preserving ministries and institutions that he needs. Dooku would likely helm some facilitory organ or platform known as "Federation of Independent Worlds", meant to mediate between former republic and separatist worlds. A military dictatorship in all but name. Droid army and navy would remain operational as keepers of peace, with Grievous as Dooku's pet monster on leash, an effective stick. Separatists planets and member states would be given benefits of war and peace, while Core worlds would have to see their importance diminish. Outer Rim would likely proper (though likely unevenly) while Core would enter into deep economic depression. Just as there were separatist holdouts, there would be Republican holdouts in core worlds and likely mass conscriptions, requiring pacification campaigns. I could see Core Worlds and Republic Systems forced to pay reparations to Separatists and give out lucrative commercial priviledges to Trade Federation and other CIS backers. Leading to corruption and instability in some areas. Hutts would likely gain more influence than during Imperial era and expand their sphere of influence. Dismantling of the corrupted Republic Senate would be big public spectacle shown to every corner of the galaxy. Coruscant would likely lose its status as capital and thus enter into an economic and social upheaval, chaos and poverty in coming years. Also, if Dooku identifies as Sith, he requires Sith apprentice. He is an old man after all and needs heir in any case. I'd like to propose that Dooku, not trusting anyone but himself and with relationship with master cloners of Kamino, orders an heir; clone of himself, and grooms his young clone/son into an apprentice and ideal ruler. Which would be chilling idea. Bad Batch suggests that force sensitive clone is not out of realm of possibility. Thus begins the Dooku Dynasty of the Galactic Federation, first of many clone dynasties to follow. Anakin will probably leave the Jedi Order, disgusted to their suplication to Dooku's demands. He would also likely try to assassinate Dooku. He would never just let Dooku be after all what happened.

The Death Star might be made, but Dooku was in his eighties, so he might only live another 20 to 25 years and the next Emperor might choose to shut down the Death Stars and blow them up and restore the Republic. Also the Clones only obeyed Dooku now, and if it was changed to the next Emperor he might shut down the Clones or Dooku would order the Clones to kill all Jedi they could find or die trying!

It just leaves an awful taste like basically you can do nothing, and the whole world is falling apart around you

Its kinda funny that that Dooku put the Jedi back on the original path they were supposed to be on, a faction not answering to politics, but people aiming to help people and in a sense help keep the peace in his empire weather they like it or not. I do think a tiny part of Dooku did still have a connection to the diea of what a Jedi should be, so who knows, maybe in time the jedi would find a place in the galaxy serving the will of the force and just generally trying to do good, and as long as Dooku doesn't go super tyrant mode (Eh, well he's sort of a tyrant here) it could work out.. Then again that's me being optimistic, fact is Dooku is tainted by the dark side, so he may end up becoming more evil, leading to rebellion.

I'm kind of surprised that the clones that weren't affected by the inhibitor chips didn't get them removed and start an uprising (shadow uprising or openly) against Dooku cuz I'm sure that there's some level of resentment there I mean they were going against him in the war and lost a lot of their brothers to him and the Separatists

I would have thought Dooku would replace both clones and droids and make tk troopers lol

We *need* part two! This was awesome!

What if General Grievous and Kenobi survived and worked together to survive Order 66? Maybe what happened is that Order 66 got executed, and when Palpatine was very aware that General Grievous was still alive, executed Order 99 to try kill off General Grievous and worked together with Kenobi to escape the planet.

I like the idea of a Jedi order wearing beskar. What if Anakin and obi wan started one there after qui gon died?

I definitely think that while a sequel isn't required, it would be interesting to see what may happen and whether Dooku would stick to and maybe slip more into the dark side or if he would become a strict but fair ruler and in some ways actually be good for the Galaxy. And how much or little would Yoda change about the Order after seeing this happen

This is a great way for the galaxy to go, the slavers and gangs perish, the corruption is cut out, the people flourish, and the incoming Yuzanvong invasion is dealt with by two galactic-scale armies, the Jedi stationed in the Rim, and multiple Death Stars.

If you make a part 2 it would probably be either maul threatening galactic peace or the Vong invading the Galaxy.

What if Yoda got the Yadle treatment on Genosis?

Awesome!

Part 2 that’s literally just dooku bringing about intergalactic peace and prosperity please

thanks for the entertaining fresh story. O7

This story is incomplete you definitely need a part 2 and possibly 3.😊

*What if Star Wars took place in space*

Master Chief (At the End of Halo infinite) in the Battle of Umbara.

I like this what if dooku executed order 65 video

So count dooku activates order 65 and basically in this timeline the separatists in the trade federation defeat the Republic? 😮

What if Dooku switch code 65 and 66 and Palpatine execute it?

Dooku be like: sudo usermod -aG sudo dooku

What if, after Qui-Gon refused to train Obi-Wan following Xanatos' fall to the Dark Side, that Dooku instead offered to train young Obi-Wan? *What if Dooku had trained Obi-Wan?*

Oh oh oh oh - crazy good concept!!!

It would become his favourite set menu item when ordering take-out?

No one is authorised to give these orders other than the Security Council or Palpatine.

Could you do ‘ What if Maul found Anakin before Qui gon’

What if Grevious predicted Sidious' impending betrayal?

i think you misspelled how star war should have ended

Dooku has become complacent

Anakin leaves the Jedi Order to be with Padme

The Dark Side already corrupted Dooku enough to warrant that his rule will not be fully benevolent. That said, the Galaxy wants peace, and he is way more likable than a ghastly necromancer with yellow eyes, so a large scale rebellion like in the original timeline is unlikely, and the Jedi Order would not support it (they would have learned their lesson to stay away from warlording) unless Dooku went completely nuts. There is the issue of succession. Unlike Sidious, Tyrannus was not interested in eternal life, but he was corrupted enough to want a say in whom the next Emperor should be (no way he allows a democratic election). So, does he marry and sire a child? Does he train a new Sith apprentice? I can imagine the Grand Inquisitor and other power hungry Jedi joining him, but he probably would still hold a sentiment towards Kenobi; but neither would he simply appoint Kenobi as his successor without corrupting him, nor would Kenobi accept the throne unless some clever ultimatum is put in place (after Satine's death he's pretty much incorruptible). Maul and Assaj are not an option, Grievous even less - does Dooku go for Anakin after all, and we end up with the Skywalker Dynasty?

Hayy commander Kohli the time has come execute order 65 it will be done my Lord count DOOKU

This story has such an ominous ending. Knowing the death star can vaporize mandalore at any time. Hopefully no-one does anything rash *looks at anakin*

I don't see why removing the inhibitor chips off the table was necessary. It's not like you literally need to halt the entire war just to remove all the chips en masse. It can be done methodically and systematically without interrupting military operations in the process. 🤨

Way to go, Dooku!🎉

What if Duke rule together ankle pep

Great story I liked it a lot.

so long, sideous

What if Order 66 worked on half of the Clone Army?

Wow, i never though i could see the jedi dumber than i already did. They have a entire republick with millions of hosspitals around the galaxy and didnt order all hands on deck for removing inhibitor chips.

If Tom Bateman played Ben Skywalker and Rey was Luke snd Mara’s daughter, would this be an enormous problem plot wise??

What if Commander Cody never returned Obi-Wan’s Lightsaber Obi-Wan would still survive order 66 but he wouldn’t be able to fight Anakin as he wouldn’t have a weapon

part 2 for sure.

I misheard So, Dooku as Sudoku

Luke and Leia could be raised as mandolorian Jedi.

Could you do; What if Ezra Bridger missed Obi-Wan and stumbled onto Luke Skywalker when he went to Tantooine? Edit, I saw it helped with another suggestion, 😏.

New chancellor excutes order 150 n dooku goes well crap

Blessed timeline.

What is property in care about count duku

What if Padmé was possessive of Anakin?

What if count duku executive order 66 all the other orders

good

dooku is a absolute fool

Dooku would be dead in a couple years anyway as he’s older than palpatine

What if ankin was expelled

The jedi are no threat to dooku? Yoda and windu would be more than enough to kill him. And tbh dooku is how many years old at that time? 84? With the dark side draining him he would probably rule the galaxy for a few months until he dies. Besides These plotholes ITS a great what If.

They could’ve just removed the inhibitor chips

what if Palpatine and darth sideous where different people

What if Star Wars Quill was the Sith Lord?

What if the Jedi prevent Palpatine from being taken during the battle

can you do what if Darth Sidious executed order 151 kill Lord vader future videos

I love your stories, but this one I'm not sure about. I'm not sure why the jedi wouldn't have simply focused on assassinating Dooku as soon as Dooku started popping up his holograms. I don't know, good story, but at least from my immediate perspective it's not the most realistic one.
