    It's his perogative, so I guess he could, but IMO it just seems like it wouldn't be in Palpatine's best interest to do so, even ignoring the fact that Palpatine is looking to replace Dooku with Anakin.

    If Palpatine was exactly what he appeared to be to the senate (i.e. a humble Chancellor thrust into a war and struggling to keep the Republic together), then I could see Dooku being pardoned. I'm fuzzy on my American Civil War history, but I think Jefferson Davis and other Confederate politicians were treated leniently for the purpose of facilitating peace and bringing the Confederate States back into the Union, because things could have gotten ugly had Treason verdicts been handed out left and right.

    But Palpatine isn't there to hold the Republic together and bring the CIS back into the republic. He's there to scare his own side into giving him more and more power and setting himself up as a hero, and given how cunning, ruthless, and scheming the other Sith always seem to be, it just makes me think less of Dooku that he didn't predict/suspect that he was going to be thrown under the bus so that Palpatine could establish himself as a hero of the Republic, and instead he put his fate completely in Sidious' hands, and agreed to a plan that put him in a vulnerable position dependent on mercy.

    Ah, but I'm speaking from Dooku's perspective, *if* you believe he really was a misguided idealist who aligned with the Sith for "good purposes." If he was a true Sith, you would think he would suspect treachery.

    By TCW, he's an out and out Sith (well, maybe a little wiggle room) but by movie alone he could be more the first - someone who was tempted to achieve good thru less than good means and all that. I see Dooku as arrogant enough to think he knows what is best for all and any means is acceptable if in the end folks are happier and peace overlays the land, blah blah blah (at least, in the beginning).

    You know, there are so many good points in this thread, we should go to TCW cast and crew about it.

    I've thought about sending him fan mail written in crayon with intentional grammatical errors to try and pass it off as though a four year old wrote it.

    Deer Mr. Filoney,

    My name is Timothy. I wach the Clown Wars. I am writeeng this leter to you as part of a skool project. I like your show. The Clowns have cool lazerz and armur. Are the Clowns sad? My daddy wached Attack of the Clowns with me. He says that they are clowns of Jango that grow up to fight. He says they ar 10 years old. I dont think 10 year olds should fight. They should be in skool. Why dont the Jedeye stop the Republick from sending 10 year olds to war?

    Your fan,
    Timmy :)

    Maybe it would carry more weight if he thought kids were asking these questions.

    Yes, Ahsoka will foresee the Empire and will find out that Palpatine is Sidious.

    /Filoni idea

    I don't doubt that happening

    Ahsoka finds out the identity of Darth Sidious, but no one believes her. She leaves the republic and runs off with Lux to find help from someone who will believe and disappears from the known Galaxy.

    It's more likely than her turning to the Dark Side again or dying at this point.

    Hey Timmy!

    Thank you for your letter. Those clones are young but they eat a lot of vegetables and because of that they are strong and able to fight a lot. You will see them in action in our upcoming action-packed Star Wars The Clone Wars Season 5. You will also see your favorite Ahsoka Tano with her three new lightsabers and new spaceship that can go through space and time.

    Yours sincerely,
    Dave
