Hm. Ten cytat Yuri poniekąd uświadomił mi, że skoro obecnie nowelizacje filmów i TCW movie są kanoniczne, a korzenie postaci mogą być "historycznie nie poprawne", tak sobie przypomniałam, że przecież Karen Traviss napisała nowelizację do The Clone Wars. I ona wspomniała tam o Galidraanie:
Then he saw snow again, not the polished apocia wood desk; a battlefield in winter, finally silent. The schematic's hair-fine lines of red light became spatters and trails of blood that Dooku feared he would never be able to wash from his hands.
He was standing ankle-deep in the muffled, ice-cold whiteness of Galidraan in winter. Jedi and Mandalorian dead lay everywhere. And he could still hear his own appalled voice, his own shame.
What have we done?
It was a massacre; and the Jedi had carried it out, pawns of the corrupt Galidraan governor, who had set up the Mandalorian army for his own agenda. Looking back on it, Dooku saw it was the tipping point that had changed his life. It was the moment he had started to think.
I believed my Masters. I didn't think for myself. They didn't question, either; they took the governor at his word. They just believed. And we killed people. We killed them on the say-so of a criminal.
If you were going to take lives, go to war, then there was no benefit of the doubt to be given, no other's word to take. Dooku trusted only proof now.
What have I done?
You came to your senses.
But I'm setting up the Jedi now. That makes me as degenerate as they are.
Think of it as using their own complacency against them. Turning their own weapon on them. Poetic justice. Whatever it takes. They won't say sorry and step down simply because you point out the error of the Republic's ways, will they?
He had these arguments with himself more than ever lately.
The snow had melted; the dead were buried. But he couldn't erase Jango Fett's face, the face of a man back from the living death of a slavery that Dooku had delivered him into, etched with all the bitter lines of surviving only to have his moment of justice.
It was always the last image to leave Dooku. It wasn't just that the millions of troops cloned from Fett made forgetting it impossible. It was that Fett hadn't lived to see the downfall of the Jedi. Fett's motive for sharing-aiding-Dooku's ambition hadn't been greed, he realized, but the same understanding that the Jedi Order was a destructive, destabilizing cabal.
The Jedi had killed Fett in the end. But most of him seemed to have died at Galidraan anyway, and only his insatiable hunger for justice had kept that formidable body moving.
We'll have our day, Fett.
Sorry za ang. wersję, nie miałam PL pod ręką.
Mamy (w teorii) kanoniczny wpis o Galidraanie, masakrze jaką Jedi przeprowadzili na Mandalorianach pod wodzą Jango Fetta za niesłuszne oskarżenie ze strony gubernatora planety (brak wzmianki o Death Watch i Vizsli, ale kto wie, może Dooku nie zdawał sobie sprawy z wagi tegoż udziału). Jango był niewolnikiem, a jego motywacją oddania swojego DNA do produkcji klonów nie była chciwość, a chęć zemsty/sprawiedliwości. Jego udział w planach Dooku i Sidiousa jest potwierdzony. Zawsze to coś
Z jednej strony nie nastawiam się, aby jakoś autorzy w najbliższym czasie skupili się na Mandalorianach - poza Sabine i nadchodzących (możliwych) powiązań Rebels z TCW. Z drugiej strony, jeśli ich nie tkną, część historii będzie tak długo dobra, jak długo nie znajdą się nowe źródła udowadniające ich nieprawdziwość.
