Note 11
Eight years after the Trade Federation Invasion of Naboo
One year later
Master Windu,
Ah yes….Jerec can be like that. I hope that what he found on Dantooine was useful, though the rest of the Jedi may need to visit the archives to learn what was discovered. It seems that not even the Head of the Jedi Order can convince Jerec to disclose the details of his findings, eh? Yes, perhaps the boy will learn something that the adult Jedi are not privy to.
If Anakin is so good at building things, he must have the discipline necessary to become a powerful Jedi.
I find it odd that Chancellor Palpatine would befriend Anakin. Approximately how much time do they spend together? There is little doubt that if Anakin continues to spend time with Palpatine that he will see the full extent of what politics are all about.
Yes, my old friend…I have made my decision. I have officially left the Republic. It has become far too corrupt, and as I mentioned before, it is beyond repair. I have started my own political entity called the Separatists. I realize that I no longer have Jedi protection, but that makes little difference to me. Although I have left the Order, I did not lose my skill. I have been improving upon my skill level. I am able to defend myself should I be attacked. I do not believe that my Separatist group will be attacked either, especially since we will have the Trade Federation battle droids. By now, it is no secret that Nute Gunray has left the Republic and joined my Separatist group.
I hope that you and the rest of the Jedi Order are doing well.
With all due respect,
Count Dooku, Leader of the Separatists
