If Dooku never turned evil, but instead formed a new, secret jedi order, who could be potential members?
CHATBOT
If Count Dooku had never succumbed to the dark side and instead formed a secret Jedi Order to perhaps address the issues and perceived flaws he saw in the existing Order's methods or philosophy, potential members might include Jedi who were disillusioned with the Council or who sought a reformation within the Jedi ranks. The exact members would be speculative, but here are some types of Jedi who might be inclined to join: 1. **Qui-Gon Jinn** (if he had survived): Qui-Gon was Dooku's Padawan and shared a similar philosophy regarding the Living Force and the importance of individual intuition over strict adherence to the Council's mandates. If he had not been killed by Darth Maul, he might have aligned with Dooku's vision. 2. **Ahsoka Tano**: Ahsoka left the Jedi Order after being falsely accused of a crime she did not commit. Given her disillusionment with the Order at that point, she might have been a potential candidate for an alternative organization committed to a more just version of the Jedi beliefs. 3. **The "Lost Twenty":** This group of Jedi Masters left the Order over ideological differences. Had Dooku started his own sect, some of these Masters might have been inclined to join, as they were already critical of the Order's direction. 4. **Jocasta Nu**: As the chief librarian of the Jedi Archives, Jocasta Nu held vast knowledge of the Jedi Order and its history. If she became disillusioned with the Council's decisions, she might consider joining a new faction that sought to embrace a different path. 5. **Jedi serving in the Agricultural Corps**: These were often Jedi who were not chosen as Padawans and thus relegated to a subsidiary branch of the Order. Some of them might feel they had more to offer and be open to joining a new Order that appreciated their abilities differently. 6. **Gray Jedi**: These were force users who walked the line between the light and dark sides of the Force and often disagreed with the dogmatic views of the Jedi Council. They could be potential recruits for an order that allowed for more philosophical diversity. 7. **Members of the Jedi Order experiencing the "Call to the Dark Side":** In legends, this phenomenon affected experienced Jedi who felt a pull to the Dark Side. An order that Dooku created might appeal to those seeking balance or struggling with the rigid dichotomy espoused by the traditional Order. Remember, within the Star Wars universe, many of the individuals and groups mentioned have intricate storylines and deeply held convictions, making their choices difficult to predict outside established canon. While this list is speculative, it serves to highlight that there were certainly Jedi within the Order who might have been receptive to new ideas and alternative ways of channeling the Force outside the strictures of the established Jedi Council.

Lost some more.

While the individuals commonly referred to as the "Lost Twenty" are a group of Jedi Masters who left the Jedi Order over ideological differences, little is known about them in canon. However, in the Star Wars expanded universe (now branded as "Legends"), there are some details that can help us speculate on other types of characters that might join a secret Jedi Order formed by Dooku if he hadn't turned to the dark side: 1. **Other Disillusioned Jedi Masters**: Aside from the known Lost Twenty, there likely would have been other Jedi of high rank who became disillusioned with the Order's direction over time. These would be prime candidates for Dooku's new Order. 2. **Jedi Knights Who Opposed the War**: Some Jedi Knights might have been opposed to the Jedi Order's involvement in the Clone Wars, feeling that it compromised their roles as peacekeepers. Those who sought a different path could have aligned with Dooku's vision. 3. **Jedi Scholars and Philosophers**: Those who specialized in the study of the Force and might have had unique perspectives on the Jedi Code and its interpretation could potentially be drawn to a new Jedi sect that offered a different understanding or practice. 4. **Fringe Force Groups**: Across the galaxy, there might have been small sects or individuals who followed the ways of the Force but did not align with the Jedi or Sith. Some of these groups could have been open to joining Dooku's Order, seeking formal recognition or camaraderie. 5. **Former Jedi-turned-Mercenaries or Ronin**: Some Jedi, after leaving the Order, moved on to become mercenaries or wanderers, using their skills for personal gain or wandering the galaxy in search of purpose. A new Order under Dooku might attract those seeking redemption or a return to their roots without the political overtones of the traditional Council. 6. **Outlying Jedi Temples and Practitioners**: Jedi who operated on the fringes of the Republic, such as those based at distant or secluded temples, may have found Dooku's Order more aligned with their own practices and philosophies. 7. **Younglings and Padawans Who Questioned the Council**: Not all Initiates and Padawans were content with the Council's teachings; some might have felt stifled or disagreed with the direction of their training. Such individuals could be potential recruits for Dooku's Order, looking for mentorship under a different paradigm. Again, the above categories are speculative extrapolations based on the type of Jedi who might have felt out of place or constrained within the canonical Jedi Order. The true answer to who would have joined Dooku's hypothetical Order can vary significantly depending on countless individual factors and specific storylines within the rich Star Wars universe.

List some more I meant.

I apologize for misunderstanding your previous request. It's important to note that within canonical Star Wars lore, not much is known about the individual members of the "Lost Twenty," except for a few, such as Count Dooku himself. In a hypothetical scenario where Dooku forms a secret Jedi faction, considering his status and reputation, it is conceivable that he could attract notable figures such as: 1. **Master Syfo-Dyas**: A contemporary of Dooku and someone who had his own concerns about the direction of the galaxy. If he didn't go down the path that led to the creation of the Clone Army, he might have been sympathetic to Dooku's cause. 2. **Master Tera Sinube**: An experienced Jedi Master who had extensive knowledge of Coruscant's underworld. If he sought to reform the Jedi's stance on crime and injustice, he could have joined an alternative Order. 3. **Master Quinlan Vos**: Known for his unorthodox methods and deep undercover operations, Vos had a history of flirting with the dark side. He might have been attracted to a new Order that permitted greater moral flexibility. 4. **Master Djinn Altis**: A Jedi who led a splinter group called the Altisian Jedi, who allowed marriage and were more relaxed in other ways, Djinn Altis and his followers might have found common ground with Dooku's new Order. 5. **Knights and Masters Who Survived Order 66 (Legends)**: In the expanded universe, several Jedi survived the initial purge. Some of these survivors might have been open to joining a new faction out of the necessity of survival and rebuilding. Keep in mind that these are speculative suggestions based on characters who, within the established lore, have shown some independence of thought from the mainline Jedi Order or had close connections to Dooku. Since this scenario is entirely hypothetical, the possibilities are as numerous as the creative directions the lore could take.

Plo Koon?
CHATBOT
In the Star Wars canon, Jedi Master Plo Koon is depicted as a wise, compassionate, and loyal member of the Jedi Order. He served on the Jedi Council and was generally depicted as a strong supporter of its decisions, even though he valued life highly and was known for his sense of justice. Given what we know about Master Plo Koon from canon sources, including his dedication to the Jedi Order and his role within the Jedi Council, it's unlikely that he would have left the Order to join a secret faction led by Dooku. Plo Koon was a figure of stability and loyalty, and did not exhibit the same sorts of ideological differences or dissatisfaction with the Jedi Council that might lead someone to abandon the established Order. However, in a hypothetical scenario where Dooku had not become a Sith and instead sought to reform the Jedi from within or to cultivate a new branch of the Jedi, it's conceivable--though still unlikely--that Plo Koon could be persuaded to join if he was convinced it was for the greater good of the galaxy and aligned with the Jedi way. But this is purely speculative and doesn't align with Plo Koon's character as it was portrayed in the films, Clone Wars TV series, and other canon materials.

What could possibly persuade him to join?
CHATBOT
To construct a scenario where Plo Koon might be persuaded to join a new Jedi faction led by Dooku, we would need to incorporate a set of extraordinary circumstances that could challenge his core beliefs and loyalty to the Jedi Council. Here are some hypothetical factors that could push Plo Koon towards such a significant shift: 1. **Corruption in the Council**: If Plo Koon became aware of systemic corruption, hypocrisy, or repeated unjust actions within the Jedi Council that could not be addressed internally due to political entanglements, he might consider looking for reform outside the existing structures. 2. **Protecting the Innocent**: Plo Koon's compassion for innocent lives is well-documented, particularly in his bond with the clones and non-human species. Should the Jedi Council make decisions endangering innocents, Plo Koon might consider alternatives to protect those lives. 3. **Preservation of the Jedi Ideals**: If the Jedi Order diverged significantly from the core values and principles that Plo Koon held dear, and if Dooku's new Order represented a purer interpretation of those values, he could be motivated to join. 4. **Galactic Catastrophe**: The emergence of a threat that the traditional Jedi Order was ill-equipped or unwilling to combat could lead Plo Koon to join forces with those like Dooku, who might be advocating for a different approach to ensure the survival of the galaxy and the Force. 5. **Fulfillment of a Prophecy**: Given the Jedi's belief in prophecy, the revelation of a Force vision or prophecy that implied the necessity of a new path or Order for the balance of the Force could influence Plo Koon's decision to support Dooku's initiative. 6. **Dooku's Persuasion**: If Dooku had presented a compelling, rational, and morally sound argument for a new Jedi Order that still aligned with Plo Koon's principles and offered solutions to the Galactic Republic's emerging problems, it could persuade him. 7. **A Schism in the Order**: An event that causes a deep division within the Jedi Order, leaving Plo Koon feeling that the Jedi Council was no longer representative of the true Jedi way, may drive him to join a faction that better aligns with his own values and sense of justice. In all these cases, Plo Koon's loyalty to the Jedi Order and the Republic would need to be outweighed by his moral compass and dedication to the principles of the Jedi Code, as well as his staunch defense of justice and the innocent. However, given his established loyalty and the significant place he holds within the Order, the circumstances would have to be quite severe and challenge the very foundation of the Jedi for Plo Koon to consider such a drastic change in allegiance.

Now what about Obi wan? And how?
CHATBOT
Obi-Wan Kenobi is one of the most steadfast and loyal members of the Jedi Order, often exemplifying its ideals and serving as a moral compass throughout his appearances in the Star Wars franchise. His dedication to the Jedi Code and his deep respect for the Jedi Council are central to his character. For Obi-Wan to consider joining a new, secret Jedi Order led by Dooku--or any alternative to the established Order--the following hypothetical situations might come into play: 1. **Protection of the Chosen One**: If Obi-Wan were convinced that the Jedi Council's actions would directly harm Anakin Skywalker--the prophesied Chosen One--and that Dooku's new order was focused on ensuring Anakin's appropriate development and protection, he might be swayed to join. 2. **Internal Reform Efforts Fail**: Should Obi-Wan attempt reform from within the Jedi Order only to be met with resistance and find the Council stubbornly sticking to ways he genuinely believes are harmful to the Jedi's future, he might become open to an alternative approach. 3. **Palpatine's Manipulation**: If Palpatine's manipulations became apparent and the Jedi Council was unable or unwilling to act against what Obi-Wan saw as a clear and present danger, he might reluctantly consider Dooku's secret Order as a necessary last resort for taking action. 4. **The Jedi Code**: If Obi-Wan started to believe that the Jedi Code was being misinterpreted or misapplied by the Council in ways that went against the Order's core principles, he may be tempted to align with a group that aimed to return to the true spirit of the Code. 5. **The Clone Wars**: Disillusionment with the Jedi's role in the Clone Wars--particularly if it led to moral compromises and a move away from their role as peacekeepers--could drive Obi-Wan to seek an Order that refused to be drawn into galactic conflict. 6. **Personal Loss**: A personal loss or tragedy, such as the death of a close friend like Qui-Gon Jinn, that he blamed on the Council's decisions, might shake Obi-Wan's faith in the Order's leadership and open him up to alternatives. 7. **Dooku's Persuasion**: As a former Padawan of Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan respected Dooku as his "Jedi Grandfather." If Dooku could convincingly argue that his intentions were for the greater good of the Force and free from the taint of the dark side, Obi-Wan might listen, though it's hard to imagine he would easily break ranks unless the Jedi Order had severely lost its way. 8. **Visions of the Future**: Should Obi-Wan receive a powerful vision of the Force showing a disastrous future associated with staying in the current Jedi Order and offering a better path through Dooku's group, he might consider joining. It's important to note that these scenarios are purely speculative and contrary to Obi-Wan's depicted character. In canon, Obi-Wan consistently supports the Jedi Council and works within its structure, even when facing difficult decisions. His loyalty and faith in the Jedi Order are among his most defining characteristics, making any departure from the established Order highly unlikely under normal circumstances.

How would he feel after joining at first?
CHATBOT
If we imagine a scenario in which Obi-Wan Kenobi does join a secretive Jedi order established by Dooku -- a concept that diverges greatly from his established character arc -- it's likely that his initial feelings would be complex and conflicted, given Obi-Wan's strong loyalty to the traditional Jedi Order and the Republic. Here is a speculative exploration of his potential emotional state upon joining Dooku's faction: 1. **Discomfort**: Obi-Wan's commitment to the Jedi Code and the established Order would likely make him feel inherently uncomfortable with the idea of being part of a secret and potentially divisive group within the Jedi. 2. **Doubt**: Even if Obi-Wan had compelling reasons to join, he might still harbor profound doubts about whether it was the right decision, both ethically and strategically. 3. **Guilt**: He could feel guilty for stepping away from the Council and the Order he had served and defended all his life, worried about the potential impact on his former colleagues and the perception of betrayal. 4. **Hopefulness**: Obi-Wan might also feel a cautious optimism if he believed that joining Dooku's new Order could truly lead to a constructive change and address the issues that drove him away from the traditional Order. 5. **Responsibility**: If Obi-Wan saw his decision as a moral imperative for the greater good of the galaxy, he might feel a heavy sense of responsibility to make the new Order work and to uphold its ideals. 6. **Isolation**: Compatible with his often solitary duties (e.g., during his time watching over Luke on Tatooine), joining a secret Order might reinforce feelings of isolation, being cut off from his support system and the Jedi community. 7. **Camaraderie**: On the positive side, if other like-minded Jedi joined with him, Obi-Wan might experience a sense of camaraderie and fellowship with those who shared his concerns and vision for the future of the Jedi. 8. **Determination**: As a seasoned Jedi Knight and General, Obi-Wan is known for his resolve in the face of adversity. He might approach this new role with a determined mindset, taking active steps to forge a new path and redefine what it means to be a Jedi. 9. **Reflection**: Being part of a new Order might lead Obi-Wan to reflect deeply on his own beliefs, his understanding of the Force, and the true meaning of being a Jedi, potentially growing as a character in new ways. Ultimately, Obi-Wan likely would strive to balance his personal turmoil with a commitment to the new ideals he chose to follow. Throughout the star wars saga, he is depicted as a rational and thoughtful character, so his decision to join another Order would not be taken lightly, and he would continuously evaluate and re-evaluate his choices against the evolving situation in the galaxy.
