I’m the Chosen One:

Stuff like Jedi archaeologists is there in canon, I believe, but yeah, you don’t really get to see that. They’re always peaceful warriors, diplomats, or bitchy archivists who can’t accept the fact that the archives just may happen to be incomplete. =P That was one of the reasons I made Dooku a student of archaeology, but it was also to show the inherent contradiction in him and his arrogance. He’s supposed to love ancient cultures, he’s supposed to be fascinated by them, and he’s supposed to respect him. This is both as a Jedi and as a student of archaeology. Nevertheless, he still views himself as superior to other people, and he can’t help but shoot his mouth off. When Obi-Wan basically told him off and said that Dooku should just leave the Jedi Order, that was of course an accident on Obi-Wan’s part, but it was essentially the last straw in a long history of arrogant straws.

What makes you think Dooku is jealous, though? I didn’t really write anything to imply that.

As for the companions, I did sort of have Lord of the Rings in mind, but it’s definitely not going to be a carbon copy or anything. The “Fellowship of the Chosen One” joke I cracked in my last reply was because of the LOTR thing, lol. I actually got the idea to do that from something Elrond said in FOTR. He said “Middle-Earth stands on the brink of destruction. None can escape it. You will unite or you will fall.” That’s what Sarus’s line was based on, as Sarus said “The galaxy is on the verge of annihilation. Civilization as we know it will collapse unless you all work together. You must unite or all will be lost.”

Now obviously it’s not going to be called the “Fellowship of the Chosen One” in ASWS canon, at least not seriously (maybe as an in-joke), but you can think of that as the conjectural title, lol.

As for an unlucky Chapter 13 for Sarus, that’s more Chapter 14. Dun dun dun. =P

P.S. 3PO, I didn't even realize how long it'd gotten until I posted it.
