Uses the force to humiliate 2 aliens:

BRY:

Come here, you little—

DOOKU: (NARRATION)

Without warning, the Hoopaloo was thrown through the air, crashing into the tent’s heavy canvas.

BRY:

(CRIES OUT)

JORKAT:

What are you doing? Get back on your feet.

BRY:

Something knocked me over.

JORKAT:

Nothing touched you!

BRY:

I know what I felt.

JENZA:

Let us go!

DOOKU:

Do as she says!

JORKAT:

What the—?

DOOKU: (NARRATION)

Now it was the Karkarodon’s turn to gape…

BRY:

It’s a Jedi!

Dooku: Jedi Lost

BRY:

I’ll get him, Jorkat!

DOOKU:

No, you won’t.

DOOKU: (NARRATION)

The Hoopaloo scrambled forward, only to be plucked from the ground and sent spinning the way he came…

BRY:

(CRIES OUT AGAIN)

DOOKU: (NARRATION)

Even the Askajian, for all her bulk, was no challenge. A flick of the wrist took her feet out from beneath her. Gravity did the rest.

Velek crashes forward, hitting the ground.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

DOOKU:

Haven’t you had enough yet? (TO VELEK) And as for you, Askajian, what is it they say? The bigger they are…the louder they scream!

DOOKU: (NARRATION)

And scream she did as she was thrown across the litter-strewn floor to slam into her Hoopaloo cohort.

VELEK & BRY:

(CRY OUT)

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Dooku was the top of the levitation class:

SIFO-DYAS:

Remember levitation, when Yoda taught us to focus on small particles?

DOOKU:

The Shifting Sand meditation. What about it?

SIFO-DYAS:

You were the top of the class.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Dooku uses sand to unlock a door:

YOUNG DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

I held out my hand, the sand stirring in the pot.

DOOKU:

I feel the Force in everything. Flowing through me. Flowing through the sand.

The sound of the sand scraping in the container.

YOUNG DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

Sifo-Dyas grinned as the individual grains rose in the air, twisting and turning like a swarm of beta-flies.

SIFO-DYAS:

That’s it. Now push them toward the door.

A bucket clatters at the back of the library.

SIFO-DYAS:

Stang! It’s that damn droid again.

DOOKU:

The Force is forever in motion. Rising. Flowing.

The droid starts clanking toward them.

SIFO-DYAS:

Can’t you make it flow any quicker?

DOOKU:

I’m trying!

The droid is nearer.

SIFO-DYAS:

That’s it. Into the gap.

DOOKU:

I don’t think I can.

SIFO-DYAS:

I thought you could do anything! Why else do you think I hang around with you?

YOUNG DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

The droid squeaked closer, its joints in desperate need of lubrication.

The slightest scrape of sand against metal.

SIFO-DYAS:

(HISSING) Dooku!

DOOKU:

I can’t find the lock.

SIFO-DYAS:

You have to!

DOOKU:

I can’t…Hang on. There!

The clunk of a magnet releasing.

SIFO-DYAS:

You did it.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Shatters cabinets and pushes back Sifo-Dyas:

YOUNG DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

I pushed out with the Force, every cabinet in the Archive shattering at once. Sifo-Dyas was thrown back, smashing into a wall as artifacts tumbled to the floor.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Dooku is strong in the force:

YODA:

No lasting damage, there will be. Strong in the Force, the boy is. A great future he will have.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Lene calls Dooku a good fighter and later gets pushed back by him:

YOUNG DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

I launched myself at Kostana, my lightsaber slashing through the air only to be blocked…

LENE:

Not bad. Tera Sinube said you showed promise.

They duel more, lightsabers crackling.

Each [strike] in the text indicates where their lightsabers meet.

LENE:

And as for that lightsaber. A curved hilt. I haven’t seen one of those in a while. [STRIKE] Do you know who else had a curved hilt? [STRIKE] Darth Sakia. By all accounts, she was quite the swordswoman.

DOOKU:

I knew it. [STRIKE] You are a Sith.

LENE:

There haven’t been Sith [STRIKE] for a thousand years.

DOOKU:

They haven’t been discovered, you mean? [STRIKE]

LENE:

Ha. I like you, Dooku. A good fighter. [STRIKE] Brave. Willing to go toe-to-toe with a [STRIKE] Dark Lord. Or should that be Dark Lady? [STRIKE] I never know.

DOOKU:

[STRIKE] I won’t let you win.

LENE:

And what exactly will you do? Summon the beast you heard in the collection? [STRIKE] The beast you hear now?

DOOKU:

(SUDDENLY UNSURE) I…I didn’t hear anything.

LENE:

Are you sure? [STRIKE] You’ve locked it away. [STRIKE] But it’s still in there. In your memory. I can feel it.

DOOKU:

Stop it. [STRIKE] You’re evil. [STRIKE] And I will stop you.

The fight intensifies, Dooku forcing Lene back against the railing as he strikes again, and again, and again.

YOUNG DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

I don’t know what came over me. I’d always been so careful to keep my emotions in check, just as I’d been taught, but…I couldn’t control myself. I hacked at her time and time again, forcing her back to the edge of the balcony. All I could feel was her anger. Her rage…at least, I thought it was her. I couldn’t think, I could only act…and all the time, her convor flapped around our heads. Cawing. Screeching. Ready to claw out my eyes, anything to protect its mistress…

LENE:

(DROPPING THE ACT AS SHE REALIZES HE’S LOSING CONTROL) Okay. That’s enough, Dooku.

DOOKU:

No, it isn’t.

He’s becoming frenzied.

LENE:

Dooku. Stop. [STRIKE] Stop! [STRIKE]

YODA:

(FIRM) Stop.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Lene compliments Dooku on his lightsaber skill again:

DOOKU:

I’m sorry, Master Kostana. I could have hurt you.

LENE:

(LAUGHS) Probably not. But you’re good with a lightsaber. You’ll make someone a fine Padawan someday, Dooku. A fine Padawan indeed.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Aced his Lightsaber class:

DOOKU:

I was practicing. I’m still not happy with my riposte.

SIFO-DYAS:

Says the guy who aced lightsaber class for, oooh, I don’t know…

ZANG:

…the last ten years!

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Dooku was Sinube’s finest student:

SINUBE:

(QUIETLY) There’s no need to worry, Dooku. You’ve always been my finest student.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Dooku beats Sifo-Dyas in a duel while both can’t see:

SINUBE:

Only the Force. Right then, on it goes.

He slips the blast goggles over Dooku’s eyes.

SINUBE:

There. Can you see anything?

DOOKU:

N-no. Nothing at all.

SINUBE:

Excellent. Trust your feelings, Dooku. I have faith in you.

Sinube hobbles away.

BRAYLON:

Contenders, prepare for conflict.

Both boys ignite their sabers, Ventress narrating over it.

VENTRESS: (NARRATION)

I close my eyes as Dooku describes the battle, seeing myself in his place, feeling the power pulse through my lightsaber hilt before the blade bursts into life, my opponent doing the same, feet apart, lightsaber held low, its blade thrumming with energy.

Would I have done as he did, strategies racing through my mind, every sensation amplified, every emotion heightened? The beating of my heart. The cold tickle of sweat running down my back.

Who will make the first move? Who will take control? Recalling the lessons of a hundred training sessions, the repetition and discipline. Reminding yourself that the tournament is ceremonial and your strikes must be measured. There can be no injuries, no fatal blows. You must disarm, not disable.

I could have done this. I should have.

YODA:

Let the tournament begin.

On “Begin,” Yoda brings his stick down heavily on the floor.

VENTRESS: (NARRATION)

Dooku’s words are intoxicating now. As I sit here, surrounded by his trophies, I am no longer listening to his account, I am experiencing it, living each and every moment of the duel, Dooku striking first, the Initiates’ lightsabers meeting accompanied by the sharp tang of crackling plasma. Sifo-Dyas throwing himself back, kicking at Dooku’s wrist, almost knocking his lightsaber from his fingers. He staggers back, meeting Sifo-Dyas’s blade as his opponent twists. Dooku blocks every blow, one arm tucked neatly behind his back, eyes closed behind the visor. Sifo-Dyas thrusts and lunges, every attack a story in its own right, revealing his tactics, exposing his weaknesses.

Sifo-Dyas somersaults over Dooku’s head—the moment Dooku has been waiting for. He slices up, not to spear his opponent, but to force Sifo-Dyas to twist in midair to avoid the humming blade. The boy lands awkwardly, his ankle folding beneath him. He crashes to the floor, his extinguished lightsaber skittering across the ancient flagstones.

This is it. The moment of victory.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Dooku gives Sifo-Dyas’s lightsaber back to him:

Dooku reaches out with the Force, sending Sifo-Dyas’s lightsaber sliding back to his hand.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Creates a perfect icosahedron with things from a garden:

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

I did it. Just as I said I would. I marched up in front of him and reached out with the Force.

DOOKU:

(GRUNT OF EFFORT)

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

I lifted everything I could around us. Stones. Leaves. Blossoms. I even lifted some of the soil from the roots of the Great Tree, molding it as we were taught in Master Veleckra’s Force-sculpture lesson; a perfect icosahedron, fashioned out of dirt. Do you know how difficult that is? And still…and still he ignored me! He might as well have laughed in my face.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Kicks away part of a door that he cut with his lightsaber:

Dooku and Sifo-Dyas run up to a door, their lightsabers humming. There’s knocking on the other side.

PIRA: (MUFFLED)

Hello? Is anyone there?

DOOKU:

(CALLING THROUGH THE DOORS) Yes. Can you open the doors?

PIRA: (MUFFLED)

No. They’re jammed.

DOOKU:

Stand back.

He thrusts his lightsaber into the door, cutting a hole.

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

My lightsaber flared as I pierced the duraplast.

PIRA: (MUFFLED)

Hurry!

DOOKU:

I am.

He finishes burning his way through the door.

DOOKU:

Are you clear?

PIRA: (MUFFLED)

Yes.

DOOKU:

I’m going to knock it through.

He kicks the door, a perfect circle clattering to the floor on the other side.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Shuts a door with help from Sifo-Dyas:

SIFO-DYAS:

Get that door shut.

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

Sifo’s warning came a moment too late. Bacta surged through the open door, drenching us all.

The bacta hits, rushing into the room. The patients cry out in alarm, especially Rralla.

DOOKU:

(CHOKING ON THE BACTA) Pira. Get the children as high as you can. Sifo, help me with the door.

SIFO-DYAS:

It won’t budge.

DOOKU:

Trust the Force.

Both Jedi make sounds of effort as they use the Force, the door scraping as it slowly begins to shut.

SIFO-DYAS:

It’s moving!

DOOKU:

Keep focused.

The door continues its painfully slow progress.

PIRA:

The bacta’s rising.

DOOKU & SIFO TOGETHER:

We noticed!

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

The door finally slid shut, but there was no time for celebration. Bacta was already seeping through the seal.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Pulls up a child:

DOOKU:

(STILL CALLING DOWN) All right. Apina, was it? Don’t be scared. I’m going to pull you up, okay?

PIRA:

Pull her up. How?

DOOKU:

I’m going to use the Force.

PIRA:

You’re going to what?

DOOKU:

Just relax. That’s it, Apina. One. Two. Three!

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

The child let out a frightened squeak as she shot up like a homing missile.

On three, he pulls her out of the bacta.

RRALLA:

(SHYRIIWOOK)

DOOKU:

I’ve got you. I’ve got you.

PIRA:

I don’t believe it.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Pulls up another child along with a cot(he had help for this one):

DOOKU:

Now the next one.

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

Pira glanced worriedly at a Fluggrian slouched in a diagnostic hovercot.

PIRA:

He can’t walk.

DOOKU:

Then we’ll take the bed with us.

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

The doctor helped drag the cot beneath me.

PIRA:

Will you be able to take the weight?

SIFO-DYAS:

I can help. What’s his name?

RRALLA:

(SHYRIIWOOK)

SIFO-DYAS:

Sorry, my Shyriiwook’s a little rusty.

PIRA:

Cuhoon.

SIFO-DYAS:

Okay, Cuhoon, you’re gonna need to hold on as tightly as you can. Are you ready? Yeah?

DOOKU:

Here we go. One. Two. (WITH EFFORT) Three!

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

I visualized the boy floating toward me, and the cot wobbled before rising unsteadily…

PIRA:

Careful.

RRALLA:

(SHYRIIWOOK)

SIFO-DYAS:

I’ve got it.

PIRA:

Let me help.

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

Pira clambered onto the table to support the heavy bed. She may have not been able to use the Force, but as the stars were her witness, she wasn’t about let her patient fall.

She climbs onto the table.

DOOKU:

(EFFORT) That’s it. Just a little higher.

PIRA:

Have you got him?

The cot is pulled through.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Yanks a young Wookiee towards himself:

PIRA:

Only Rralla.

DOOKU:

Are you ready?

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

The Wookiee loped forward, eagerly holding his thin arms up toward me.

RRALLA:

(SHYRIIWOOK) [Yes.]

DOOKU:

Good. On three. One. Two. Three!

RRALLA:

(SHYRIIWOOK—COUNTING WITH HIM) [One. Two. Three!]

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

I almost laughed at the Wookiee’s delight as he was yanked into the air, bacta dripping from his fur. I grabbed his arms, swinging him to safety.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Dooku is regarded as the most accomplished apprentice in a generation:

DOOKU:

For as long as I can remember, I’ve felt…I’ve felt like I don’t belong.

SIFO-DYAS:

Dooku, that’s ridiculous.

DOOKU:

Is it?

SIFO-DYAS:

You’re the most accomplished Padawan in a generation. Everyone says so. You say so, most of the time.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Force pushes his father and sister:

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

It all happened so fast. The droids’ blasters coming up. The screams from the crowd. I didn’t even see you run forward until it was too late, until you had thrown yourself in front of me. When I reacted, calling on the Force, it was to protect you, Jenza. Not me.

I wanted to push the droids back, but I was so…so angry. I didn’t even realize what I had done, not at first, not even as you and Father and Ramil were thrown back…not even as the crowd scattered, mob and mourners running for their lives. Running from me.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Kills a group of Abyssin:

DOOKU: (NARRATION)

I burst through the foliage, my lightsaber flashing. The Abyssin drew their pulse-blasters, but I was too fast for them, slicing through first barrels and then limbs. But then…I couldn’t stop. I don’t know what it was, my shame over what had happened on Mantero or the dark side amplifying my fury as kyber focuses plasma. By the time my companions reached the clearing, the Abyssin were dead. I’ve read that the lumbering aliens can regenerate limbs, but there was no coming back from these injuries.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Uses lightning to destroy the weird moss that Dooku and his allies were trapped in and burns aliens into a crisp:

Dooku‘s scream dies in his throat like a man waking from a nightmare. He breathes hard as he finds himself back in the cavern. All is quiet. The chanting has stopped. Only a few of the torches are still burning, the others having gone out.

Force lightning crackles over the rocks.

LENE:

(COMING AROUND) Dooku? How did we get down?

DOOKU:

(SHAKEN) I don’t know.

She pushes herself up.

LENE:

(DISGUSTED) What’s that smell?

DOOKU:

(NOT SHOCKED) The Presagers.

LENE:

They’re…They’ve been burned to a crisp. But how…?

Dooku turns.

DOOKU:

(SCARED) Master…I…

LENE:

Dooku. Your hands.

DOOKU: (NARRATION)

I looked down at the indigo light crackling around my fingers…

DOOKU:

In my vision. I saw…lightning, coursing through bodies…

Dooku: Jedi Lost

His force abilities were dampened during that feat:

DOOKU:

They’ve taken our lightsabers.

LENE:

We still have the Force.

SIFO-DYAS:

Are you sure about that? My head feels like it’s full of wampa wool.

LENE:

(WITH EFFORT AS SHE TRIES TO USE THE FORCE) It has to be this moss. Dampening our abilities.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Yoda considered him the order’s greatest student:

Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know, Updated & Expanded

Aveross implies that they are both proficient in multiple styles and later gets beaten by Dooku:

DOOKU:

You’re challenging me to a duel?

RAEL:

For old times’ sake.

Dooku ignites his lightsaber.

DOOKU:

Holograms off.

The training holos shimmer off.

RAEL:

That’s better. What style shall we use?

DOOKU:

Whichever you like. It’ll make little difference.

RAEL:

You’ve always been too confident. It will be your undoing. Sun djem!

He sweeps his lightsaber as he announces the cuts, Dooku easily blocking every move.

DOOKU:

Whereas you talk too much. Shiim!

Another block. And then Rael performs three swift moves, each blocked by Dooku.

RAEL:

That’s true, I guess. While no one could accuse you of being chatty. Cho sun! Mou kei! Sai tok!

Their lightsabers sizzle as they lock.

DOOKU:

Really? The Bisecting Blow? I taught you better than that, Rael.

RAEL:

Eh. Sometimes I like to play dirty. As do you!

They go into a full lightsaber battle, forgetting about the marks now, just reveling in the duel, ribbing each other as they fight.

DOOKU:

You should be careful, my former pupil. You don’t want to tire yourself out. You have a long journey ahead of you.

RAEL:

Don’t worry on my account, Master. I could do this all day.

DOOKU:

That won’t be necessary.

Dooku performs a skilled maneuver, getting the upper hand.

RAEL:

Ha-ha! Okay, okay. I yield. Solah! Solah!

They extinguish their lightsabers.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Yoda thinks that Dooku trained some Jedi Initiates well:

YODA:

Impressive. Most impressive. Trained them well you have, Master Dooku.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Uses the force to ignore pain:

DOOKU:

A medical implement, at least originally, although I believe the Heltraxi use it as a torture device. When pressed, the button on this remote will send an electronic pulse through my chest, not enough to kill me, but uncomfortable nonetheless.

QUI-GON:

I do not wish to hurt you, Master.

DOOKU:

And you won’t. Through the Force, a Jedi can endure even the most debilitating pain. Remember the Battle of Nar Shaddaa. Master Crucitorn fought on even after being immolated by the Flame-Wielders.

QUI-GON:

Injuries that would have crippled any warrior. But we live in an age of peace.

DOOKU:

And long may it continue. However, his technique can ease discomfort on any level. The principles I teach you today can be used to soothe any pain, be it physical or mental. Now activate the band.

Qui-Gon clicks the button. There is a slight hum.

DOOKU:

(A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE) Good. Turn the dial.

QUI-GON:

Are you sure?

DOOKU:

I wouldn’t have asked you if I were not.

Qui-Gon turns a dial.

DOOKU:

(GRUNTING SLIGHTLY) Good. Now…Reach out with the Force. What do you feel?

QUI-GON:

Your discomfort.

DOOKU:

Hardly surprising. But if I…focus my thoughts…and calm my emotions.

QUI-GON:

Master, we should stop.

DOOKU:

No. Pain is only an illusion. It can be controlled.

He steadies his breathing despite the pain.

DOOKU:

I am a Jedi. (NOW CALMER) I am a Jedi. (CALMER AGAIN) I am a Jedi.

QUI-GON:

Your pain. I cannot sense it anymore.

DOOKU:

Nor can I. The pain is still there. I merely deny its power over me.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Makes someone forget about seeing himself and Qui-gon:

DOOKU:

You will forget we were here.

They hurry through the door.

DESK SERGEANT:

I will forget…Wait? Who the hell am I talking to?

The door shuts.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Dodges blaster fire while flying a speeder:

QUI-GON:

They’ve taken the crashed speeder.

One of the Trandoshans fires at them. Dooku avoids the blast.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Deflects a blaster bolt back at an alien with precision:

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

I threw myself from the swoop bike, using the Force to propel myself down toward the fleeing skiff.

The largest Trandoshan opened fire as I landed on the back of Ramil’s flier.

Dooku ignites his lightsaber.

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

The blast ricocheted from my blade to strike the pilot between his scaled shoulder blades.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Pulls a Trandoshan towards him and then lifts the alien up:

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

I threw up a hand, knocking the Trandoshan from his feet. The brute scrabbled for his blast rifle as I pulled him toward me.

TRANDOSHAN:

Jolumba! [No!]

Trandoshan claws screech on the concrete floor.

DOOKU:

For your sake, I hope you speak Basic.

He lifts the Trandoshan from the floor.

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

His eyes bulged as I lifted him in front of me.

TRANDOSHAN:

How are you doing this?

DOOKU:

Have you never heard of the Jedi? Do you not know what we can do?

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Force pushes a man and then chokes him:

DOOKU:

Oh, and another thing.

He pushes out with the Force. Sartori is thrown across the morgue to crash into a wall.

DOOKU:

How do you know my name?

SARTORI:

You can’t do this to me. I’m an inspector.

Sartori starts to gag, caught in a Force choke.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Uses beast control to fly an owl:

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

The inspector never questioned why an Altiri convor was flying along Coruscant’s busiest airlane, or why a nondescript flier was rising up to join the flow of traffic, a Jedi Master at the controls.

Dooku’s flier rises up, and we hear the bleep of a tracker.

QUI-GON:

(LAUGHING) A tracker in Calleen’s collar.

DOOKU:

A Jedi is prepared for every eventuality, Qui-Gon.

QUI-GON:

And you’re okay flying while practicing beast control?

DOOKU:

Animal kinship, my dear Padawan, and of course I am.

QUI-GON:

You never fail to amaze me.

DOOKU:

I’m glad to hear it. Jedi are conspicuous, Qui-Gon, even in this much traffic—

QUI-GON:

But no one would suspect a lone owl.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Summoned and then ignited his lightsaber blade before criminals could fire their guns and then kills them with Qui-gon’s help:

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

The Trandoshans’ scatterguns came up, but before they could take a shot, we summoned our lightsabers, igniting the blades in midair.

The two lightsabers blaze, cutting down the guards, who thud to the floor.

There’s a pained squawk from the convor, who falls silent.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Pulls a person towards him:

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

I threw out a hand, stopping the Jenet in her tracks. She clawed at her treasure as I hauled her back.

Cenevax scrambles as she’s pulled back, trying to hold on to her hoard.

Press Cenevax into the gold:

DOOKU:

Tell me who it is!

CENEVAX:

You won’t kill Cenevax. You’re Jedi. It’s not in your nature. You’re weak.

There’s a slight crunch of metal as Dooku presses her into the gold.

DOOKU:

Are you sure about that?

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Was accepted into the Jedi Council:

DOOKU: (HOLO-NARRATION)

I understand that Ramil is being transferred back to Serenno. I wish him a speedy recovery. I sense much turmoil in him. Perhaps finally, he will find peace.

As for me, I have decided to accept a position on the Council. Change must come to the Order, and it must come from within.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Detaches the cockpit of a ship and cushions it’s crash(with help):

DOOKU:

Jettison the cockpit.

LENE:

The entire cockpit?

DOOKU:

We could guide it down. Cushion our fall.

LENE:

And by that you mean…?

DOOKU:

We use the Force.

SIFO-DYAS:

That’s insane.

DOOKU:

Yes.

SIFO-DYAS:

The worst plan I have ever heard.

DOOKU:

Most probably.

SIFO-DYAS:

I’m in.

LENE:

We’ll have to release the clamps manually.

D-4:

Have you done this before?

DOOKU:

No. On three. One.

LENE:

Two.

DOOKU, LENE, & SIFO-DYAS:

Three!

D-4:

Oh, why didn’t I stick with Ramil!

There comes a series of resounding clunks, and the cockpit detaches from the shuttle.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Pushes metal off himself:

Atmosphere: Burning wreckage. Sparking electrics.

D-4:

(SHORTING OUT) Master Dooku…Master Dooku.

Dooku pushes twisted metal off himself.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Opens a heavy door:

DOOKU:

Admirably.

He extinguishes his lightsaber.

Sifo-Dyas raps on the side of a tank.

SIFO-DYAS:

This tank has seen better days.

DOOKU:

It will serve our purpose.

He pulls open a heavy door.

Blocks a blaster bolt, then kills a Abyssin:

ABYSSIN MERC: (OFF-MIC)

What are you doing here?

The Abyssin fires at them.

DOOKU:

Typical Abyssin.

He blocks the shots before slicing the Abyssin in two.

ABYSSIN MERC:

(DIES)

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Calms a beast and then reads its mind:

DOOKU:

(IN AWE) The Tirra’Taka.

LENE:

You know its name?

DOOKU:

An old Serennian legend. The dragon that holds the world together.

LENE:

It hasn’t been doing a good job of that recently.

DOOKU:

The statue didn’t do you credit.

Another roar.

DOOKU:

No. There’s nothing to be afraid of.

LENE:

You’re sure about that? Dooku. You can feel it, can’t you? The dark side.

DOOKU:

We need to make contact with her.

LENE:

Contact? You want to bond with it?

DOOKU:

As you taught me all those years ago. One mind. Two bodies.

The creature calms, her growl echoing around the chamber.

LENE:

I don’t think this is a good idea. We’ve got an invasion on our hands up there, remember?

DOOKU:

You’ve always wanted to understand the past, Lene. This is the past. She’s been down here so long. Hidden in the rock.

LENE:

How do you know?

DOOKU:

She’s showing me. Here. Touch her scales. See for yourself.

LENE:

I…

DOOKU:

The Force will protect you.

LENE:

I…I hope I don’t regret this.

She steps forward, touching the monster’s flank.

LENE:

(GASPS)

DOOKU:

There. Do you see?

LENE:

Yes! An army on the march.

As they describe their vision, we hear the sounds of the creature’s memories, echoing from the past.

DOOKU:

Armor as black as night. Dripping with blood.

The sounds of a battle, screams, lightsabers slicing through bodies. So many lightsabers.

LENE:

Death on such a scale.

DOOKU:

They used her.

LENE:

Dark siders.

DOOKU:

A beast of war.

The bellow of the Tirra’Taka in the past.

DOOKU:

But it wasn’t always that way. They hunted her. Captured her.

Laser blasts. The Tirra’Taka howling in agony.

LENE:

(FEELING THE BEAST’S TORMENT) So much pain.

DOOKU:

Corrupting her…into something new.

LENE:

Something malevolent.

She gasps, stepping back, breaking the link.

LENE:

We should stop. The connection is too strong.

DOOKU:

No. Riding into battle. Riding through the stars.

LENE:

Dooku. Break away.

DOOKU:

I can’t. The things they made her do. Until…until. (CRIES OUT)

LENE:

What is it?

DOOKU:

They fought back. The people. Against her masters. Against her.

More roars. More battle.

FIGHTER: (IN THE SOUNDSCAPE)

For Serenno!

In the past, the Tirra’Taka bays in fear.

DOOKU:

She broke free.

The sound of the Tirra’Taka burrowing down into the planet.

DOOKU:

Buried deep within the planet’s crust.

LENE:

Dooku, please.

She goes to grab him.

DOOKU:

Don’t touch me.

LENE:

This has gone too far.

DOOKU:

No. You don’t understand. This is because of me.

LENE:

You?

In the soundscape, we hear the following exchange from Dooku’s childhood.

YOUNG JENZA:

Dooku, what are you doing? Don’t—don’t touch it, okay? It’s supposed to be bad luck.

DOOKU:

She was asleep. All that time. Beneath the surface. She was at peace.

YOUNG DOOKU:

So beautiful.

DOOKU: (OVER HIS YOUNGER LINES)

So beautiful.

YOUNG DOOKU:

(WHISPER) Tirra’Taka…

DOOKU:

And then I came home.

YOUNG JENZA:

Dooku—don’t!

DOOKU:

It was me. I woke her. She felt the Force within me. (TO THE BEAST) I’m so sorry. You just wanted to be left alone.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Defeats a Abyssin in a walker:

JENZA: (NARRATION)

I looked up to see an Abyssin in a jerry-rigged walker clattering toward us, cannons glowing hot. Sifo-Dyas tried to stand, but his legs buckled beneath him. I tried to pull him clear, but it was obvious that neither of us was going to escape. Not this time…

A lightsaber carves through the walker’s legs.

DOOKU:

Stay away from them.

JENZA:

Brother!

The walker falls.

JENZA: (NARRATION)

The walker crashed to the ground, its legs sliced away. Dooku loomed over the pilot and…

Dooku runs the Abyssin through.

ABYSSIN:

(SCREAMS AND DIES)

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Overwhelms a droid with lightning:

SECURITY DROID:

Attack the creature! Attack the—

Force lightning swamps the droid before it can finish its sentence.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Controls the Tirra’Taka:

LENE:

Sifo-Dyas. I need you. It’s Dooku. He’s taken over the beast. He’s controlling it.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Takes down a droid with lightning:

DOOKU:

(ROARS IN FURY)

JENZA: (NARRATION)

His scream echoing the beast he controlled, he unleashed the dark fire he had buried for so long, the same energy that streamed from the Tirra’Taka’s mouth. Lightning flowed up the weapon, frying Ramil’s security droid to leap from metal body to body. The deck of the airship was ablaze with energy, surging through Ramil’s exosuit, the droid’s central processor erupting like a supernova.

The processor explodes.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Pulls his lightsaber towards him:

JENZA: (NARRATION)

Ramil convulsed, gripping onto the rail to stop himself from tumbling over the edge, as below his droid army collapsed as one. His mechanical joints frozen, the Count of Serenno stared in disbelief as a curved hilt flew straight toward the Windrunner,turning end-to-end as it returned to its master.

Dooku’s lightsaber slaps into Dooku’s open palm.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Stops his brother from moving:

RAMIL:

I cannot move.

The lightsaber ignites.

RAMIL:

Brother. Please…

JENZA: (NARRATION)

The lightning was gone, but Dooku’s fury remained.

DOOKU:

I have no brother.

RAMIL:

Have mercy.

DOOKU:

For Serenno!

Dooku slices Ramil in two.

RAMIL:

(SCREAMS)

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Kills the Tirra’Taka:

The Tirra’Taka prepares to unleash its lightning breath as Dooku dives toward it, letting out a bestial roar of his own. The monster begins to scream lightning when, at the culmination of his own cry, Dooku lands on the creature’s head, driving his lightsaber down into the monster’s brain.

JENZA: (NARRATION)

His lightsaber found its mark, plasma burying deep into the beast’s skull. The Tirra’Taka let out one last agonized howl before the fire died on its breath and the once mighty head shook the ground as it fell.

We hear the creature’s final roar as its head smacks down.

JENZA: (NARRATION)

Dooku didn’t move. No one did. My brother waited, crouched like a statue on the creature’s crown, his lightsaber lodged in its ancient brain, waiting until its breathing slowed, and stopped, its eyes closing for the final time.

The Tiri’Takka dies. Dooku extinguishes his lightsaber.

Dooku: Jedi Lost

Dooku is strong in the force:

YODA:

Which is why keep it you must. More than a name, a Jedi is. More than a title. Strong in the Force, you are. Guide you, it will. Guide us all, it must.
