[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [QB] I got an answer to the Sifo Dyas question from someone who knows pretty much everything about the EU. Here goes: "Who is Sifo Dyas? The reason they left this out(it was originally going to be explained by Yoda when he and Obi-Wan deactivated the Temple transmission), was for time, and also, the novel that immediately preceeded the movie, titled [i]Labyrinth of Evil[/i], dealt almost exclusively in that question. In the novel, Obi-Wan and Anakin lead an assault on Cato Nemoidia (which Obi-Wan mentions in the film "That business on Cato Nemoidia doesn't count"), to capture Nute Gunray. Gunray escapes, but in his haste, he leaves behind a holonet receiver which is specifically tuned to get messages from Darth Sidious. Basically, the novel deals with Obi-Wan and Anakin hunting for Sidious, and in the process, unraveling the mystery of who ordered the Clone Army. First of all, Sifo-Dyas was a Jedi Master. It seems, Qui-Gon Jinn, Count Dooku, and Syfo Dyas were all good friends, and all held similar beliefs in the failing of the Republic, and each defied the council in small ways when they saw it necessary. Qui-Gon believed that the Jedi were losing touch with the Force, and regularly ignored the council when the Force led him another way. Dooku was obsessed with antiques and Sith artifacts, and Syfo-Dyas believed that the Republic could be reformed and was worth saving. After the Trade Federation blockaded Naboo, and Qui-Gon first confronted Darth Maul, Syfo-Dyas sensed the Dark sides power growing, and a great conflict coming. While Qui-Gon was escorting Queen Amidala to Naboo, Dooku and Syfo-Dias created a plan. They pieced together that a Sith Lord was manipulating the Trade Federation into starting a war. Syfo-Dias would secretly begin to create an army that would be totally loyal to the Republic to fight off this threat, and Dooku, with his immense knowledge of Sith artifacts and history, would hunt down the Sith Lord. So, Syfo Dias ordered the Clone Army from the Kamino, arranging payment through the Jedi Council (without their knowledge), and telling them to start setting up, and a Template would be provided later. Then comes the betrayal. Supposedly, the death of Qui-Gon is what essentially sent Dooku over the deep end. Afterwards, Dooku either found Sidious, or Sidious found him. Either way, Dooku became the new apprentice and spilled his guts about their plan. The first act Dooku committed as a Sith was to return to the Jedi Temple, erase Kamino from the archives, and murder Syfo-Dyas, erasing all evidence of the Army. The murder of Syfo-Dyas, supposedly caused by a heated arguement between the two regarding Qui-Gon and the Republic, is what caused Dooku to be expelled from the Jedi Order (It's not something the council does lightly.) Dooku finds Jango Fett, and delivers sends him to Kamino, with a single modification to the Clone Programming, the inclusion of Order 66 (It is worth mentioning that the initial prototype clones, the ARC Troopers, do not follow Order 66 because they do not have any of the 'Docile' training to make them follow orders.)" Now... this brings up 2 questions: 1) Was Sifo Dyas really a member of the council or did he just lie to the Kaminoans to appear to have authority? If he was really on the council, you'd think he would've been in the room in Ep 1. 2) If Mace and the Council knew Dooku had killed Sifo Dyas, why did Mace dismiss the idea of his involvement in Amidala's assassination attempt by saying he used to be a Jedi and that such things were not in his character. True, he was talking about assassination, not in-the-heat-of-the-moment manslaughter, which is what he thinks happened... but it's still rather positive thinking on Mace's part. [/QB][/QUOTE]
