“Your flaw is your need for connection to the living Force. Qui-Gon, the galaxy is crowded with beings. The Jedi Order is here to support you. Nevertheless you must carry the following knowledge in your heart,“ Dooku said. “You are always alone, and betrayal is inevitable.”
FUCK
You know what, Dooku; you really got him for a while there. For a long while there; for the years and years of ‘fuck it i can’t believe i let this happen i am NEVER teaching again no Yoda you CAN’T make me; i will come and watch your stupid kids exhibit every year only because i have to but i won’t be leaving with one so stop trying to convince me to do this thing i cannot do, will never do; am afraid to do, because i am a failure and master dooku was right”
and then suddenly there is this one particular kid
and that lonely cycle of heart-hardening and self-recrimination just – stops
and well you know I just find that really compelling, I guess.
#……me too # and yet…I want to know MORE #I find the Dooku-Qui relationship absolutely fascinating #and this is the quote that defines it #and it explains so much about jedi apprentice-era Qui-Gon
