373. One shot and two breaks up
While Fourth Civilization is convening a comprehensive meeting to prepare for war, and Galactic Senate has just elected a new speaker, major changes have also occurred in Galactic Republic's other core of power, Jedi Order.
After Master Dooku hadn't appeared in Jedi Temple for a long time, he suddenly came here and broke into Jedi High Council's tower without any courtesy.
Now Jedi High Council is having a meeting to discuss the future direction of Jedi Order after Chancellor Palpatine takes office, and is caught off guard by the sudden intrusion of Master Dooku.
"Mace-Windu!! You must give me an explanation!!" Master Dooku was like a lion. Although his voice was not loud, he gritted his teeth and spoke every word, and anger seemed to emerge from his eyes.
"I don't know what I need to explain, but you need to understand that rashly breaking into the venue when High Council is in a meeting is a major violation for a Jedi Master." Mace-Master Windu said coldly.
"Why did my apprentice Qui-Gon-Jin Hui die in Naboo! You must give me an explanation!" Master Dooku roared.
"Qui-Gon-Master Jin escorted Queen Amidala back to Naboo, disintegrated Trade Federation's conspiracy, and fought to the bitter end with the sudden appearance of Sith Lord Unfortunately, he died heroically. He is us, Jedi Order, and even the hero of the entire Galactic Republic! Why should I explain to you because of the deeds of a hero? "Master Windu never retreats.
Master Dooku walked up to Master Windu in one stride and asked fiercely, "Why did you only send Qui-Gon-Jin and the others to such a big dispute between Naboo and the others!! It was the same with Indjori that time! Both times, only two Jedi Knight were sent to resolve disputes in very dangerous places. Are you trying to kill someone with a knife? Master Windu?"
"Jedi Order aims at peace, not war! What happened with Caladanian has proven that our behavior at that time was a mistake! Do you want Jedi Order to turn into a powerful organization?" Master Windu said coldly.
"The first time Qui-Gon-Jin came back from Tatooine, he reported that a Sith Lord was chasing him! So why did he only send two of them the second time?" Master Dooku asked.
"Because this is against the regulations. Speaker Phineas-Valorum did not pass a resolution issued by the parliament, but in a private capacity. In this matter, we Jedi Order have no position to formally intervene." Master Windu replied.
"Is this the reason why you sent one disobedient Jedi Knight to death one after another? Mace-Windu!" Master Dooku roared.
"Anger needs to be controlled, Master Dooku. This result is not what we hoped for." Master Yoda said, "The root of the problem needs to be found. Using anger to solve the problem is not."
"Then you should tell me, does Jedi Order serve Galactic Republic, or does it follow the beliefs of the Force?" Master Dooku stared at Windu with burning eyes.
"There is no difference between the two." Master Windu replied coldly.
"Then this is no longer the Jedi Order I know." Master Dooku shook his head, "From today on, I am no longer a member of Jedi Order."
He took off his cranked Lightsaber from his waist, threw it on the ground, and turned around to leave.
"Master Dooku!" Master Yoda called from behind.
Dooku still stopped, but just turned slightly sideways and said slowly, "I have decided to return to Serenno and inherit the family title. Therefore, you should call me, Count Dooku (Count Dooku)."
After Dooku left, Master Yoda sighed, "This is a heartbreaking result. Qui-Gon-Master Jin and Master Dooku, a huge loss to Jedi Order."
"When darkness came, he abandoned his original beliefs. Master Dooku's behavior is far from glorious." Mace-Windu said coldly.
Dooku returned directly to his hometown Serenno, and officially inherited the family title, becoming Count Dooku from then on. The respectable and powerful Jedi Knight Master Dooku no longer exists.
Dooku has dedicated his whole life to Jedi Order. He has been with Jedi Order for more than 70 years. However, it is precisely because of his strong and pliable character that his ideas are incompatible with Jedi Order, especially Mace-Windu.
He has been full of doubts about Jedi Order's behavior since Jedi Order interfered with Galidrong Campaign of Mandalorian Civil War, and the turmoil at the end of Galactic Republic only aggravated his doubts.
Finally, when the news came that his apprentice Qui-Gon-Master Jin had died in Naboo, he attributed the incident to Jedi Order's corruption and rigidity, and finally completely drew a clear line with Jedi Order.
As one of the most outstanding Jedi Knights for hundreds of years, the departure of Master Dooku is also considered a heavy loss to Jedi Order. Later, Jedi Order cast a bronze head for him, which was kept in Jedi Archives and placed side by side with 19 other bronze statues.
These are Jedi Master who fell or left for various reasons, also known as 'Lost Twenty (Lost Twenty)'.
Three days after Trade Federation's robot control ship was destroyed, the new Chancellor of the Galactic Senate Sheev-Palpatine led the core members of the parliament to Naboo for an official visit.
Jedi Order, led by Master Yoda and Master Windu, also visited Naboo.
Naboo The capital Theed City held a grand celebration ceremony to celebrate this decisive victory. During the celebration, Queen Amidala, the ruler of Naboo humanity, and Grand Leader Ruger-Nass, the ruler of Gungan, jointly announced the decision to form an alliance between humanity and Gungan. From then on, humanity and Gungan will coexist in a good-neighborly and friendly manner.
And as one of the symbols of peace, the human regime of Naboo agreed that Gungan would go to Naboo's colonial satellite Ohma-D'un to establish a settlement and live together.
Afterwards, Speaker Palpatine presented Nebula Trophy representing peace to Gungan Grand Leader Ruger-Nass, and also formally accepted Gungan as part of Galactic Republic, and Jar Jar Binks was elected as the representative of Gungan.
That night, the grand funeral of Master Qui-Gon-Jin, who died in this battle, was held in the suburbs of Theed City. Master Yoda, Master Windu, Chancellor Palpatine, Queen Amidala, Luger Nass and others all attended the funeral. They deeply remembered Jedi Master who used his life to bring peace to Naboo.
After this day, both Naboo and Galactic Republic will open a new chapter.
