Can always blame it on unorthodox body-sculpting/cosmetic surgery.
Crossovers aside, another SW fanfic I’ve wanted to see written for the longest time is Anakin and Dooku meeting in the Netherworld of the Force, shortly after the former’s demise and appearance to Luke as a Force ghost.
Initially, I’d expect it to be tense and frosty, with considerable asymmetry between Anakin’s redemption making him more willing to apologize and Dooku’s lack thereof — or at least, ambiguous moral standing, seeing as he never got any post-mortem character development — making his characterization after death speculative. However, assuming Dooku has lightened up somewhat and is willing to let bygones be bygones, I can see him and Anakin basically having a "Harry and Draco as adults at the epilogue” sort of relationship. That is, not close friends or particularly fond of one another, but still civil and harboring a healthy (if grudging) respect for the other's skills and achievements.
But as a darksider wouldn't he have been forced into the chaos of the force underworld, unable to interact with Anakin? I always read that dark siders end up there instead of the more sedate areas that the light siders use.
Hmm, not sure.
Actually, now that you mention it, I suppose I was more interested in what they'd say if they were to interact with one another, but forgot to verify whether they actually could according to the rules of the lore. If not, I'll do some hand-waving and write the prompt in the spirit (hah, get it?) in which it was intended, anyway. Frankly, I'm surprised no one else has tried this yet.
One possibility could be that in the moments before his death that Dooku finally understood what he had done and released himself into the Force, maybe enough to keep him in a form of Limbo along with others like him that realised too late what happened. Anakin is also destined to be stuck there until he is forgiven by the those who came before him, maybe Dooku also needs that but he can't forgive himself or allow others to until Anakin comes through?
On the extreme end of things, there is Darth Sion who could not be killed as long as he had the will to defy death.Pretty unsithlike if you ask me. How many Sith actually accepted death peacefully? I am pretty sure I can count on my hands how many actually did so.

would be neat to see. you have the new republic, some splintered imperial remnants, and the C.U.S. (name may need workshopping). have the series be about building a functional government and jedi order. they get forced to ask tough questions about when it is acceptable for them to go to war with their neighbors that they are nominally at peace with.So an idea I once had to both further flesh out the Rebel Alliance, especially in terms of unsavoury allies, and an antagonist for a sequel trilogy, is Star Wars’s answer to the Soviet Union: The Collective Union of Systems.
These guys would have fought against the Republic during the Clone Wars, and have no desire to rejoin it after the Empire is overthrown.
Cue a Galactic Cold War.
They’d be totalitarian bastards, but simply not the monster that was Palpatine’s Galactic Empire. For example, slavers get put against the wall, not endorsed. And they suffered terribly at the hands of the Clones and their Imperial successors, giving them rather good reason to be profoundly pissed off with basically everyone.
Currently just brainstorming them at the moment, so this is all I’ve got.
I’d already planned on the nascent Union rising in the Outer Rim, but they were sort of already waging war against the Empire for the best part of a decade. The homeworld, a mineral rich icy ball, became somewhat akin to Krieg with a massive homegrown heavy industry and munitions manufacturing capabilities. The war was enough of a problem to draw off elements of the Imperial Navy, but the vast majority of it was tied up in policing the galaxy and fighting the Rebel Alliance. Hence how a grinding attrition was able to go on for so long…until Palpatine blows up with his Death Star.you would probably want to sit down with a galactic map and look at where the big Imp fleet task forces were after endor. Carve out a portion of the Outer Rim and have the new faction claim it. look at what the new republic manages to hold. figure out how many warlords you want to fill out your balkanized SW AU.
Maybe have the warlord in charge of the CUS's area be a sympathizer and just flip for their ideology. or a few well placed high level guys flip on the aspiring warlord. gives them a solid starting fleet to work with. figure out what sort of local ship production they can set up and they would fill out their fleet with those. heck have them borrow some old CIS designs and slightly modernize them.
The Union has abolished any order of force users. They are deemed as dangerous and “oppressive” to the working men of the galaxy, thus upon detection are immediately but in “reeducation camps”, whereafter they are absorbed into the state security apparatus. It is a place where they can be put to use, whilst the state can keep an eye on them.It would also be important to nail down what they do with force users. if they don't want them to go to the new jedi order what are they gonna do with them? ignore them? send them to camps? kill them off? kick them and their families out? set up their own order "loyal" to the state borrowing a bit from the KGB and inquisition?
To what degree have they been regulatory captured by their own force-sensitive glowies then?The Union has abolished any order of force users.

Not too much. As you can imagine, whilst useful as field agents, they aren't let anywhere near management position on account of their "class loyalty" being in doubt.To what degree have they been regulatory captured by their own force-sensitive glowies then?
Here is an idea for you OT/OEU Thrawn, Luke and company get ISOTed to the DysneyWars universe along with Whankatine's huge ass Deep Core secret fleet and the World Devastators.
Noice stompfic!
Why the hell not?Are we allowed to use the Bolostomp pic here?
