The following is a collection of quotes from Jard Dooku, a major Jedi Master character in Star Wars: Episode I - The Chosen One written by Brandon Rhea.
Invasion of Utapau[]
Blockade[]
The Neimoidians may be ruthless and heartless, but they’re still cowards. The negotiations will be short.
—Jard Dooku to Obi-Wan Kenobi
We'll stow aboard separate ships and meet down on the planet. Maintain communication silence until we’re on the surface."
"You were right about one thing, though. The negotiations were short."
"I'm sorry, but were you trying to be funny?"
"What?"
"Save your humor for someone else.
—Jard Dooku and Obi-Wan Kenobi
You almost got us killed. Are you brainless?"
"I'm talking to you, so obviously I'm not."
"The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. Now get out of here."
"No, no, you have to come with me now. I saved your life. You owe me a life debt!"
"You saved my life?"
"I pulled you down away from that machine. You would have been killed. Your life debt to me is demanded by the gods.
—Jard Dooku and Jar Binks
You can't keep making these careless mistakes. You're a Jedi Knight now, not a Padawan.
—Jard Dooku to Obi-Wan Kenobi
Move in close. Hug the hull of the ships. They won't be able to hit us without hitting themselves.
—Jard Dooku to Ric Olié
Tatooine[]
I'm Annikin Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you."
"Rescue? Does it look like we need rescuing, boy?"
"No. But I-"
"But what? You thought you would play hero today? Well we don't need a hero right now, so please be on your way.
—Annikin Skywalker and Jard Dooku
Are you sure about this? Are you really going to trust our fate to a boy we don’t even know?"
"I’m not trusting our fate to him. I’m giving him a chance to prove himself, to see if he can repair this engine so we don’t have to worry about finding money and paying a repair shop in a spaceport."
"You’re getting sidetracked again. You need to stop getting involved in these pet projects of yours. This boy isn’t going to amount to anything and you’ll just be wasting our time."
"You need to stop telling me what I should and shouldn’t be doing. I’m not your padawan anymore and I’ll get involved with ‘pet projects’ if I want."
"You’re right about one thing. You’re not a padawan anymore, but I think you should be. You obviously haven’t learned anything.
—Jard Dooku and Obi-Wan Kenobi
I know what you’re thinking, but this isn’t another ‘pet project’. If these people mean what they say, then they have information we need."
"Oh please. They’re desert hermits. What could they possibly have to offer us?"
"You’re not going to get the answer to that question unless you go with us."
"I’m not walking through an entire desert just to be swindled by some oddball hermit.
—Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jard Dooku
That’s preposterous. The Sith could not have survived this long without us knowing about it."
"The Sith are not extinct, Master Jedi. For that, you have my word."
"How could you possibly know that? You’re a hermit who lives in a desert. It’s more than likely that all of this nonsense comes from your people being out in the sun for too long."
"I know it because if they are extinct, then the man my people and I fought eighteen years ago on this very world was nothing more than a figment of our imaginations, and we’re all going insane."
"I wouldn’t put that past you.
—Jard Dooku and Sarus
A fall down the catacombs. Well, if he’s the Chosen One, then he’s off to a great start.
—Jard Dooku
I know we never saw eye to eye, Master Dooku, but it was interesting seeing another perspective on my beliefs."
"I wish I could say the same."
"Of course.
—Sarus and Jard Dooku
