What if Count Dooku Trained Anakin Skywalker? Let’s explore the depths of it in the video.
Dooku approaches the boy standing in front of the Great Tree in the Jedi Temple. Anakin stares up at the canopy as leaves drift down around him. He did not see Anakin at Qui-Gon’s funeral and suspected he would find him here.
Dooku: This was Qui-Gon’s favorite spot in the temple too. He was always fascinated by this tree.
Anakin: It’s beautiful.
Dooku: Powerful too. This tree is said to be Force-Sensitive. An amazing thing isn’t it? Surrounded by a world of steel and stone, and yet the tree survives. Some have compared it to the Jedi Order.
Anakin: It seems like a lonely existence.
Dooku: Indeed, such is also the life of a Jedi.
Anakin: Then why become a Jedi?
Dooku: Because the most important things require making hard decisions. Evil in this world will tear you up and take away the things that matter most to you. The Jedi work to prevent these unfortunate events.
Anakin: Qui-Gon said he would leave the Jedi Order. Could he not make the hard decisions?
Dooku: On the contrary, I think Qui-Gon was prepared to make the hardest decision. After years of sacrifice and service, only a few can see what service in the Order truly is, a chain around your neck. One that does not even allow yourself to mourn. All you can do is tell yourself that he is one with the Force. Tell me, Anakin. Is that the life you see for yourself?
The boy doesn’t answer. Everything has moved so fast. He can barely imagine himself standing where he is now.
Dooku: Would you like me to train you, Anakin?
Anakin: You? You would train me to be a Jedi? But what about Obi-Wan?
Dooku: Obi-Wan is a promising boy, but still just that. A boy. He trains you to honor the memory of his master. But what can honor his memory more than training with his master? But no, I will not make you a Jedi. I intend to train you to be far more.
Anakin looks up at the elderly Jedi Master in awe. He can barely hide his excitement at the prospect. Dooku was Qui-Gon’s own master and someone who could train a mighty Jedi Master like him must be amazing. The possibilities run wild in his head as he nods his head eagerly.
Dooku smiles and tussles the boy’s hair. He does warn him that this will require him to leave the Jedi Order as Dooku wishes him to be trained differently than the Jedi. Although reluctant to leave his new friends, Anakin cannot reject the offer.
In the morning, Dooku departs with Anakin. The two journey back to Dooku’s home planet of Sereno where the young student lives a life he can only dream of. Unlike the poverty of Tatooine, Sereno is elegant and filled with splendor, with Anakin lacking nothing. Not even his family as Dooku frees Shmi and takes her into his household.
While it seems like a dream come true, Dooku doesn’t give this life freely and is every bit the strict master Anakin expects. The Count drills Anakin relentlessly in lightsaber combat, with Dooku teaching Anakin everything he knows, ensuring that the boy becomes a master duelist just like him. Despite his age, Dooku remains a force of nature with his lightsaber, practically untouchable when they spar despite Anakin’s age and agility.
Here Dooku instills a sense of discipline and control, reminding Anakin to control himself.
When they are not sparring, the Count also has Anakin study the ways of the Force, practicing different techniques and performing incredible feats. In contrast to lightsaber combat, Dooku encourages Anakin to let out his emotions, channeling them into the Force.
He realizes that Anakin is too old to suppress his emotions like how the Jedi train their younglings so refrains from teaching him the Jedi Code. Instead, he focuses on putting Anakin’s emotions into a place that is useful and productive.
But his training does not stop with the ways of the Jedi. True to his words, Dooku isn’t looking to make Anakin another Jedi, he’s looking to mold him into his heir. He also gives him a formal education, teaching him things like history, public speaking, and politics so that Anakin knows how to govern.
This happens at a fortuitous time as although the Naboo Crisis is resolved, the roots of the issue are still present and the tensions within the Republic only grow. This leads to a secessionist movement for different systems and corporations who feel under-represented by the Senate. At the center of this is Count Dooku who spends years developing ties with these groups.
Anakin accompanies him for most of these trips, learning and representing Sereno in the Separatist movement. Anakin’s presence is an immense help to the CIS movement as seeing a strong young Jedi on their side bolsters their confidence.

Recent events have changed my view on video ideas and I want to start shouting out channels who have done whatever idea I’m posting and share with the community ! Think it would be a cool way to bring everyone together and highlight past videos made just in case anyone missed them! If I miss you, feel free to comment down below!

I'm really glad this is the way things turned out. I was worried for a bit there would be more strife over this, but I'm relieved to see that I was wrong.
For you, when it comes to these, what if ideas when you have multiple channels doing them and a set amount of characters and plot points to deal with, you’re going to end up getting similar videos. It’s just the name of the game.
Glad you guys got this issue taken care of, we definitely didn't want a TH-camr clone wars, especially when these channels are literally the only reason star wars has any semblance of good stories these days.
@@WraithCustomsFirearms agreed!
@@DarthTheoristI agree with everything here, and I’m glad that your viewpoint has improved much by talking with these channels. Channels listed 1-3 on your main comment I can advocate for, being I’ve watched numerous what ifs of these channels, more than once, may I add, and I’m subscribed to Star Wars Galaxy and Fantasy Folklore, so I can say they’re great what if builders to listen to for advice. I hope you continue to grow from here.
See, THIS is what Dooku needed. To be held accoountable for his actions, and have his eyes opened to his mistakes, so he can begin making up for them. The Count is easily one of my favorite Star Wars characters.
I have a feeling Anakin would unknowingly wake Dooku up earlier than this theory, as Anakin would be like a son to him and he would think about the wrong that he is doing and how he wouldn't want to ruin Anakin's future, he would eventually reject Palpatine or at the very least bide his time and train Anakin up to be very powerful, let him in on Palpatine's plans and they then work together to take Palpatine down. Dooku and Anakin would then bring in change for the galaxy and work with the Jedi order to clean up the crime and bring prosperity to the Galaxy. The galaxy would probably be in the best shape for the average person of any scenario.
"You fool! I've been trained by Count Dooku in my Jedi Arts!" - this Anakin, probably
General Skywalker
This is "Count Dooku trained Anakin Skywalker" done right.🫡
🫡🫡😎🔥
Why do I have the feeling that the mere idea of Anakin being trained by Dooku would not only give the Sith a run for their money but is also a very bad thing for everyone involved…specifically their enemies. Plus it’s nice to see you do a Dooku training Anakin ‘what if’ because for some reason Anakin being trained by Dooku just makes sense (also he would be a very powerful and formidable individual and powerful duelist) and the whole concept of him being trained by one of the best duelists in the Order would fit perfectly well within the SW universe. Plus I think in some way Dooku would be a good teacher for Anakin and he’s is one of my all time favourite SW characters and it was nice to see you include him in this amazing ‘what if’ story. Plus the voices for Anakin, Mina Bonteri, Padme and Dooku were just amazing.
Okay im certain now. Jedi Dooku is my favorite character despite the fact we never saw much of his jedi days. I love that so many others are making stories about his jedi days and im here for all of it. Keep up the great work Theorist ill be here waiting for the next story, Dooku or not 😊
I can really picture in such victories several Jedi losing their lives trying to stop General Skywalker. This is Vader without limitations. The Power of the Chosen one in full balance would be undeniable. He would be terryfying as an enemy, and make OG General Grievous (the scary 2003 cartoon one) seem like a weakling.
You know before I watched this, this is what I was expecting.
Count Dooku: *cue look of superiority*
Anakin: *perfectly imitated Count Dooku's look of superiority*
Count Dooku: *proceed to look surprised and then proud*
Damn, this was so good. I'm completely in awe of how drastically different this theory is and how well it fits within the mythos of Star Wars
Im glad everything was resolved! I cant wait for more what if ideas from all of you.
*I'm deep down hoping for a 5 way collab between all of you*
That would be really cool!
@@DarthTheorist for sure 👍
I love the voices and music, the overall production is great 👍
@@abrakadabra6364 thanks abra!!
@@DarthTheorist what programs did you use?
Best part of my day
🕺🏻 🎉
This is my favorite video from you yet. I loved this version of Anakin. And my wish came true when I heard that Mina Bonteri befriended Anakin, for I was hoping their paths would cross in this story. And the way Anakin was able to negotiate with Dooku was the icing on the cake. Gotta love stories where Anakin is mature and driven to do what’s right.
I thought that scene where Mina brought him and padme together was heart warming too 🥹
This version of Anakin would be his most stable, he wouldn't be chastised for having and showing emotions, but be told to channel them to be useful. Essentially what the Jedi did was tell Anakin "No....Emotions bad!!" and he then didn't know how to handle them, so he bottled them up and they exploded. In this scenario, he gets angry, but he thinks, he channels and finds solutions to problems. Not only would this be the most mature Anakin, but also the most powerful, he would be far less likely to underestimate opponents and get cocky in battle as he would be trained to think smart and always keep on top of the opponent. Then there is his force powers, he would use dark and light side powers in battle, he wouldn't be overwhelmed by the dark side and fall to it, but use it appropriately and know his limits.
Then you add in Padme, or Mina or any other potential love interest, he wouldn't be overwhelmed in the same way as in the canon. Anakin would be free to find love and be with someone, he wouldn't be restricted, so when he does come across someone that he could see a future with, he wouldn't be one track minded, he would be clear minded, find the right time and opportunity and he wouldn't be obsessed.
This is how you write this story 🔥
Similar topic to other TH-camrs but tackled Completely DIFFERENTLY
Other fan fiction people step your game up because your not on Darth Theorist’s level!
This what if was great. Anakin in the CIS gives them the accountability of their own forces to match the Republic. However, I say again, what if umbrella joined the CIS before the clone wars? I strongly believe with the funds at their disposal, Umbrella would achieve what they couldn’t on earth, creating several bioweapons that boost effectiveness against the clones, Spencer’s project w has a higher chance to succeed, making a different Wesker fit for this scenario that would be an experiment with the progenitor virus, midichlorians and cloning. Umbrella is capable of cloning like kamino, also not afraid to make cybernetic enhancements to their bioweapons in regards to TALOS and some hunters. Star Wars Nanodroids would be monsterous for cybernetic bioweapon projects. I see them as a replacement for a limiter on tyrants to keep the virus under control.
What if Thrawn raised Anakin Skywalker?
Oh dear! This is gonna be chaotic I just know it
17:54 even youtube subs recognize dooku it's too cool,
This was dope. Very different than any fanfiction that have come out recently.
Yo this video looks great! Love the video ideas! Keep it up
This version of Anakin is awesome. A true badass.
Balanced, that's what I reckon. He is in control of his emotions most of the time unlike in the canon. It would be a lot more difficult to defeat this Anakin than the Canon one as he would be less likely to get cocky or blow up in anger mid fight (not saying that it wouldn't happen, just be less likely).
Awesome!!!! Great Work as always.
Thank you !!!
Looking forward to your take
This looks pretty interesting
What if Kix had been found on Earth (us), cryogenically frozen inside a separatist cruiser that crashed into the Mediterranean Sea ?
What if guardians of the galaxy was in star war original trilogy
That idea would be great
At least anakin don't loose his arm here
I was extremely worried listening to this what if story strictly because of Palpatine, knowing him how sneaky and unpredictable he is I was certain he was going to pop up out of nowhere and muck up everything dooku and anakin where achieving, I'm so glad that didn't happen and very happy count dooku got the chance to redeem himself like Qui-gon wanted for him, his former master! 😁😉😎💯🔥👍🏻
What if Anakin due to his high midi-chlorian count never trusted Palpatine, even as a boy so he was always as cautious about him as the Council was by ROTS?
Or...
What if Anakin blamed Palpatine for his mother's death instead of Obi-Wan since Palpatine showed Anakin 10 years prior that corruption was even on Coruscant in the underworld showing that he knew of the suffering yet only let thing become worse?
That was amazing
What if the youngling asking Anakin what they were going to do survived the slaughter at the temple?
The only thing that would've made this better is a mature Anakin and Padme together but not twisted by the Jedi and Siddious
Did Dooku tried to quote Thanos?
👍🏽👍🏽🍿🥤😎
I kinda have a what if. So in Star wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones, 2hrs 11min and about 21 seconds in, Padme calls out Anakin and runs up and hugs him, maybe even kisses him, it's hard to tell on the screen for me. But it's right in front of Yoda regardless. But I was thinking what if Yoda put one and two together in that moment. He'd be in tune with the force being able to sense their feelings toward each other. And then at that point he'd realize he'd need to train Anakin differently realizing he has an attachment, and perhaps even a relationship
Hmmm maybe a what if yoda realized anakin and padme were married ?
@@DarthTheorist yeah that pretty much synthesizes my idea! Thanks for spelling it out for me! 🤣
What if Dooku decided to exile himself in the unknown regions after Qui-Gon's death instead of joining Sidious? But the planet the Force led him to is under attack by the Turians (yep, first contact war from Mass Effect).
Is there a what if Dooku won the fight on the invisible hand?
I think pente is releasing one today or tomorrow on that actually
@@DarthTheorist Alr thanks I’ll check it out
In every fan theory story if anakin is on one side he will turn to the other lmao
What if Jason Voorhees, was an ancient sith experiment?
Already scheduled it for the next Sunday poll bro 🫡
@@DarthTheoristawesome thanks! Your definitely my favorite star wars what if channel.
Do you have a patreon or something? I'd absolutely donate to hear a dr.who crossover
No just a TH-cam membership , but don’t worry, it’ll be on next weeks poll :)
@@DarthTheorist$10 well spent
@@stevenbalkovec1669 thanks Steven !!!
Hideki trained Anakin than Anakin would have never turned to the dark side and neither would dooku and in fact Anakin probably would have turned out very similar to Qui-Gon jinn whose master was also dooku and trained him to be the Jedi that he was so Anakin could have been trained by Qui-Gon or dooku and ended up in the same good place I think. Dooku didn't start off evil, remember that
What if anakin vision saw the whole future of Star Wars legends
What if The Norse Deities Did Existed in The Star wars verse ?
oOoOOh yeah!
"Odin is not amused by your heresy, Palatine!"
what if there was a xenomorph outbreak on coruscant
What if Alex Mercer appeared during the clone wars?
What if Anakin became a Red Lantern after his duel on Mustafar?
Darth theorist have you gotten my comments my request, please
What if there was an outbreak of the Blackwing Virus in Th Clone Wars
What if count turn paly in to the jedi
what if Anakin became the Punisher,
What if Anakin saw visions of the first order and the destruction of the galaxy
What if Vader went back to the old republic using the world between worlds
What if Padmes body consumed the twins and became more powerful than Anakin

What if Court Dooku trained ahsoka from the beginning of the clone wars to episode 3?
What aboit magistrate mcgee?
What if luke time traveled to the clone wars
Please just Dew it
what if anakin skywalker was born female
Just to keep it straight, Pente Patrol did this 2 years ago before you say he copied you.
You’re petty lol , wanna look at the pinned comment 👀
