Master Sifo-Dyas?

[Aeon Kensho™]

Has anyone ever wondered who Sifo-Dyas is?Or how he met his mysterious demise?From studying this i have discovered that Dooku was friends with him.Sifo-Dyas placed the order for the clones we know this.Dooku didn't seem to know about the clones.But it seemed he should.Dooku say"It seems impossible the Jedi could have amassed and army so quickly."But didn't Dooku recruit Jango Fett on one the moons of Bogden?Hmm,No this means i think Dooku was kept in the dark by Sidious,not unheard of in the least right.In KOTOR 2 Visas says"What one hand does is unknown by the other."So it turns out Sifo-Dyas ordered the clones for the republic.Sifo-Dyas was a Jedi who believed what Palpatine strung him along to believe.That the Republic was in danger and would need the armies.But Sidious couldn't convince Dyas to turn to the Darkside.So the Emperor had to tie up some loose ends.First he needs a new Apprentice/Puppet.And he also need to take care of Dyas.This is where Dooku comes in.Another Jedi who thinks the republic is diluted.Also since Dooku was once a Jedi he can help Sidious cover up his tracks and keep the Jedi in the dark.So it turns out Dooku kills his close friend Dyas.This is where Grievous gets his first saber,Dooku kept it.This was Dooku trial to kill his own friend to prove his alliance to the Sith.But Sidious didn't have long plans for Dooku.It's apparent after the loss of Darth Maul,Sidious shows interest in young Skywalker.I believe the Emperor thought gaining Dooku would nail two birds with one stone.He gains an apprentice and gets rid of a Jedi.Besides Dooku isn't even really a Sith he's a Dark Jedi.But thats for another thread hahaha! coming soon.I couldn't find a pic of him,So Dooku will have to do.Also here's a link to a bunch of info on him also some EU Info to back it up.

Oh that makes so much more sense. But If Sifo couldn't be turned, don't you think he would have enough time to warn the Jedi before Palpitine had Tyranus turn and kill Master Dyas?

didn't geogre lucas say that syfo dyas was count dooku? wasn't that his jedi name? i'm not sure but I think george lucas said it in the clone wars movie.

Sifo Dyas was a different character altogether than Count Dooku. Sifo Dyas' blood was used in the creation of General Grievous. Sifo Dyas isnt as much as a mystery as he once was. Follow this link and you will find out all the facts about Sifo Dyas.

Oh, on the contrary, Dooku most definately became a Sith Lord. Sifo Dyas was; much like Dooku, a prominent member of the Jedi order (he was Dooku's apprentice), but Palpatine did indeed find a weakness in Dyas in order to manipulate him for his own domineering ends - the ability to see the future. I have a feeling that Palpatine's mastery of the dark side allowed him to flood a precognitive Jedi's mind with a possible future through some sort of meditative means. Im pretty sure he used the same method on Anakin in regards to his dreams showing his mother, and then Padme' dying.. to gain a hook on him.

So back to Dooku. It takes a break down of morality for a Jedi to taste the dark side and then be put in a position where it beckons to them. Just like Anakin was given a first taste when he slaughtered all the Sand People in a rage, and then much later when he beheaded Dooku as an act of revenge for losing his right hand. Each time such a decision was followed through, the further the Jedi slipped...

I think Palpatine had an easier task with Dooku as he was already disenchanted with the ways of the Republic and was cynical about the Jedi's role in the galaxy. There was the open door..

I suppose the final act that pushed Dooku to darkness was murdering his friend and former pupil, Sifo Dyas. That alone perhaps could have even been his ultimate trial to becoming a Sith Lord as there are trials to undertake, but either way, this cemented Dooku's step into the dark side. He was then given the guise of Darth Tyranus which meant that he was a Sith Lord. He just kept this fact from the Jedi and played the whole Seperatist card for the whole galaxy to lap up as a recruiting tool for his forces. Other planets were fed up with the Republic too just as he was, so he used this to his advantage to allow the then fledgling Confederacy of Independant Systems to gain momentum.

Even so, I doubt Dooku himself knew of the grand scale and entire scope of Palpatine's plans for total dominion. Unlike the relationship between a Jedi Master and Padawan, the Sith have little trust that exists between Master and Apprentice.. one will always emerge a victor in the end, but to be effective, there needs to be two. Have more, and all out war will commence.

Palpatine was overly selfish and immensely power hungry, as all Sith are; and thus, would use his apprentice until they are worthless. Maul unfortunately did not outlive his uses, whilst Dooku was replaced with a younger, more powerful apprentice. Unfortunately, the loss of nearly all limbs, severely reduced Darth Vader's force potential. I am sure the Emperor either foresaw this as a guarantee that his power would not be seized in the future by Vader, or it kept Vader in the Emperor's thrall for far longer than he would have enjoyed should he have reached his full potential - which would have no doubt been a threat for Palpatine.

Even then, when Palpatine saw the chance to recruit Luke Skywalker as another apprentice, he was perfectly willing to sacrifice Vader. So I have no doubt in what you referred to earlier interms of one hand not knowing the actions of the other.

In the bottom line, Sidious / Palpatine was playing both sides competely and utterly. I doubt even Jango Fett realised that he would have been fighting against his own clones should he have survived. He was probably under the impression that they were being made for the Seperatists... in either sense - he was another pawn.

All up, its one hell of a grand scheme. Palpatine is a hateful bastard, but I certainly admire what he cooked up.
