What was the Star Wars universe like pre Phantom Menace?

Or was Doku just a henchman when Maul was apprentice.

that was the result of Christopher Lee regretting not taking the role of Moff Tarkin, and lucas wanting him to be involved.

Obiwan should have let go down the shaft to fight another day, haunted by what happened.

Maul should have kidnapped Anakin exposing him to the dark side and training him. Obiwan vows to recover him and avenge his master.

The rule of two is just there can only be two sith. Not only two dark side users. Maul after is defeat could not be considered Sith because he was no longer the apprentice of Sidious.

KOTOR will give you an idea is SW about 1000 years before the events of the OT. Most of the expanded universe focused on this and after ROTJ.

Palpating was a dark sided before going into politics. He was a privileged youth that hated his family.

I like it all except this, obi would never avenge anyone, he was the Jedi of Jedis.

he becomes that way for a reason. I mean..he did chop the arms and legs off of someone he's been close to for the past decade, and watched him burn.(that also could have been written better)

But you're right, so after vowing to recover Anakin from being used as a tool for evil,..and fighting the temptation of hate and revenge in doing so..that as the main story would have been more interesting than what we got imo.

Anakins mother not even recognizing him because of what hate has done (little foreshadowing ..with maybe a "you are not my son" line to mirror the "i am your father" and no one wanting to be related to him). Perhaps Padme still maybe being the only person who could ever reach him, makes their relationship make a little more sense. Her being his beacon of peace and comfort.

Obiwan and the Jedi winning back Anakin, only to ultimately let him down and fail him with everything..would have been a better driving force for Anakin's true embracment of the Dark side and personal extermination of the jedi

There are two sith lords, but the lords can have trainee apprentices that can get their shot at being one of the two.

Dookoo joined the Sith after Maul died though

There was no rule of 2 at that time.


Dooku was Sith but he was never truly an apprentice either. Hence why Palpatine wanted Skywalker so bad.

Better MUCH better

Maul had his brother as an apprentice, dookoo had ventris. Gracious was sort of an apprentice too. But you can have only two sith lords. Two Darths, I guess. There are only two people named Darth at a time.
