Macbeth2k1 Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 I don't think so. Obi-Wan knew who Sifo-Diyas was, as did the rest of the Jedi. So he was a real Jedi at one time. However, you could argue that Dooku used the name when he placed the order for the clone troops. You might even be able to convince me that Dooku killed Sifo-Diyas just to be able to use the name long enough to set things in motion. By doing so, he would still be able to hide the Sith's presence for 10 years if anyone found out about the army before EP2. All they could find out was that a jedi that died about 10 years ago also placed an order for the army about 10 years ago. Or you could look at it the other way. Sifo-Diyas was manipulated by Sidious to create the order. Then for some reason needed to be silenced. Either he was expendable from the start, or had a change of heart once he realized what he had set in motion. Hopefully, it'll be explained in EP3 or an EU book.

Lynk Former Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 The whole Sifo-Diyas thing was quiet explained all that well, I mean the first time you watch Ep 2 you get a liiiiil bit of info on him but Sifo-Diyas was just thrown in there all of a sudden x.x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredamo Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Originally posted by gundark is sifo-dias another one of dookos alieces? maybe? Sifo-Dyas Wouldn't have been an ally of Dooku, because Dooku Started the seperatist act only a year before AOTC and sifo-dyas died 10 years ago so he can't be an ally of Dooku:) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wassup Posted May 9, 2003 Share Posted May 9, 2003 Sifo-Dyas was used as a disguise name for either Dooku, Palpatine/Sidious, or someone affliated with them in order to ask the Kaminos to start building a Clone Army. The REAL Sifo-Dyas was a Jedi Council member that was killed about 10 years before Ep. 2 (like Obi-Wan said). Palpatine/Sidous or Dooku only used that name as a disguise when they ordered the Clone Army from the Kaminos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark jedi 8 Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 i dont think he was a council member because he wasn't in the council in Ep.I and he died just after Ep.I. and i do think he was real but probably had nothing to do with the army. i think it was just palpatine who killed dias and used his name when he placed the order.

Breton Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Well, the only thing we know about Syfo is that he can't have been killed by a sith! (unless he is Qui-Gon. We'll come to that). Evidence: Syfo-Dias used to sit on the Jedi Council, according to the Kaminoan prime minister. Yet, we did not see him on the council at The Phantom Menace. Thus, he must have died before that. But if he was killed by a sith, the council would have known of this. Yet, they do not know of the sith's return before after Qui-Gon tells them about Maul. and he died just after Ep.I. No one ever says this in Ep1. Still, The Kaminoan prime minister can have been wrong about Sifo sitting on the Council. Wich proves my point about Sifo-Dyas actually being another name of Qui-Gon Jinn! Evidence: The KPM mistakes Sifo for being Obi-Wan's master. Or does he really? I is certainly not unlikely that the KPM have known quite a bit about Qui-Gon. Thus knowing he was the Master of Obi-Wan. My belief is that Qui-Gon have meeted KPM before TPM, but not after. He was a powerful Jedi Master, and that may be why KPM believes he is on the council. Another thing is, of course, that Sifo died 10 years before AotC. Qui-Gon dies 10 years before AoTC. But I haven't gotten to the interesting bit yet. You all know that Dooku was the Master of Qui-Gon. That is excactly why it would have been so easy for Dooku to assume the identity of Qui-Gon, and ordering the clone army in Qui-Gon's name (well, other name). Another thing: Qui-Gon might have meant Sifo-Dyas in another language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macbeth2k1 Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Seems like kind of a reach. Where did you get the idea that Sifo-Dias was Obi-Wan's master? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Originally posted by Random Seems like kind of a reach. Where did you get the idea that Sifo-Dias was Obi-Wan's master? Taken from the Episode II script: LAMA SU: Please tell your Master Sifo-Dyas that we have every confidence his order will be met on time and in full. He is well, I hope. As you can see, Lama Su says your Master. And even better: OBI-WAN: Tell me, Prime Minister, when my Master first contacted you about the army, did he say who it was for? Now Obi-Wan says my Master.

Pnut_Man Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Well Obi-Wan never actually came to Kamino to check out these 'new clones', so i think he says :"my master": as he plays along with the whole scheme. The assumption that Syfo Dias means Qui-Gon in another language is very intriguing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macbeth2k1 Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I don't agree. I remember what Lama Su said now, and I feel that he meant "your" master as in "Your Jedi Master". The Kaminoans are so far removed from the rest of the galaxy, they think of themselves as seperate from it. They would say "Your Republic" or "Your Senator" because they have nothing to do with them. "Your Master Sifo Dias" ment that they don't think of him as a master of anything, just a customer. But he was being diplomatic by using the term "Master" because he wouldn't want to offend his buyer. It would be like us saying "Your president" when speaking to someone from another country. Sure he's a president, but he sure as heck isn't MY president. And I agree that Obi-Wan said "My Master" to play along with the deception he was using to get information.

But it doesn't change the fact that there is plenty of other things that leads to the Qui-Gon=Sifo-Dyas theory. For instance, the reason why Sifo isn't at the databank in starwars.com, and the "not again"-look at Mace and Yoda when they hear bout Sifo ordering the clones. Apart from all the other things I mentioned, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiMP RABBiT Posted May 31, 2003 Share Posted May 31, 2003 i always thought that sifo-diyas was palpetine. Just because they didnt introduce another sith character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Monk Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Obi-Wan also says "I was under the impression that Sifo-Dias was killed before then". If Sifo-Dias was Qui-Gon, and Obi-Wan knew that he was Qui-Gon, he certainly wouldn't have said "I was under the impression that Sifo-Dias was killed before then," because he would have KNOWN exactly when Sifo-Dias died because he would have BEEN THERE when he died. Sifo-Dias is probably just some dead Jedi whose identity was assumed by Dooku, Maul or Sidious, to make their purchase. The Kaminoans wouldn't know the difference and their isolation and the deletion of their system from the Jedi Archives would have ensured that the Clone Army wouldn't be discovered until some Jedi followed Palpatine's cookie-crumbles to Kamino. But, then, who's to say Sifo-Dias wasn't killed by a Sith Lord? Qui-Gon was only able to inform the Council of the Sith's existence because he survived to make a report. Sifo-Dias obviously didn't survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 agreed, i find it very unlikely that Sifo Dias is Qui-Gon, I had tought about this possibility also but when i watched AotC again it became clear to me they were not the same person. As Monk stated Obi isn't sure of the date Sifo Dias died but he certainly is sure of the date Qui-Gon died. But then i wonder if Sifo Dias really is dead, and if he is, i assume he wasn't killed by a Sith. If he'd been killed by a Sith, it would have been obvious to the jedi that the Sith had come back (and they don'T know until EP1) cause he would obviously have distinctive lightsaber wound(s). But he could have also simply dissapeared, leaving no trace, or faking his death, thus making the jedi belive in his demise. So either he is still alive (or at least was for a moment while the jedi taught he was dead) or he wasn't killed by a Sith (an assassin might have been hired, accidental death, etc.).

ras1310 Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I have a few more points against the idea that Qui-Gon Jinn and Sifo-Dyas were the same person. Point 1, if the Kaminoans had known enough about Obi-wan to identify Qui-gon as his former master, they would have known that Sifo-Dyas had died. Point 2, Sifo-Dyas was known to Obi-wan, not just the Kaminoans, to have been a member of the Jedi Council. Qui-gon most definitely was not. Point 3, Breton claims that the Council would have known if Sifo-Dyas was killed by a Sith. There are two faults with that. We don't know how he died, so we certainly don't know he was killed by a Sith in direct combat. Also, exactly how would he have reported being killed by a Sith? Jedi could not appear as blue ghosts yet. Point 4, in the novelisation Lama Su says that Jango Fett was chosen as the clone template by Sifo-Dyas. Dooku told Jango his name was Tyranus. That indicates to me that it was probably Dooku himself, pretending to be Sifo-Dyas, that arranged for the clone army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi_Monk Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 What's to say that a Sith Lord would only kill someone with a lightsaber? They have Dark Eye Probe Droids, Force Choke and Force Lightning all at their disposal. Or a Sith Lord could have gone Teras Kasi on Sifo-Dias. I'm playing devil's advocate here. Don't really think Sifo-Dias was murdered in order that his identity could be stolen, but there's no evidence against it, or against a Sith being the culprit. As you can see, there are a variety of ways that a Sith Lord could have killed Sifo-Dias without resorting to the use of a lightsaber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeedii_zaarinn Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 here is what i believe who dias really is: 1. sifo and quigon both died 10 years ago. 2. the clone army was ordered 10 years ago. 3. dooku vanished from the jedi order 10 years ago, right after maul's death 4. since dooku was the master of qui gon, quigon could have meant sifo dias in another language and dooku decided to use sifo dias as a secret name so it wouldnt be traced back to him. 5. now the jedi would have felt the sith returning but since dooku said the republic and jedi was under the control of palpatine a.k.a. sidious, they couldn't have felt something but now wait if dooku had the army created, wouldnt he have recognize his own army? right but at the end of episode 2 he said everything was in order to sidious. what has happened is since palpatine is a sith lord, he has gained control of the senate, created the army, and with it wipe out the jedi and republic. everything ties together now. just waiting for checkmate.

Tufkad Posted July 17, 2003 Share Posted July 17, 2003 The thing about Obi-Wan knowing about Sifo/Qui-gon...maybe no one ever told him that they were the same person? Just like how Luke was lied to about his father/vader, they wouldn't 'lie' to him, they ...hmm. Well, maybe Qui-Gon just never told him, then when asking Yoda or someone about Sifo sometime, they just didn't say that it was the same person.. Or I suppose it could just mean "Dooku", this kinda makes sense too...maybe he was once Sifo-Dyas, now he is Dooku...erm, no, that doesn't really make sense either. Hopefully this will all be explained in episode III Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 i highly doubt that sifo-dyas (or syfo-dias whatever...) and qui-gon are one in the same. i think he may have been a jedi tricked by dooku into doing it then killed... or something along those lines. needless to say i'm sure the secret will be well kept until the movie is near release. anyone claiming to know anything is really just speculating at this point and no one could be proven right or wrong. but some people may have some more far fetched views on this than some.

pleto4_ryan Posted July 18, 2003 Share Posted July 18, 2003 all these ideas are so fascinating and i hope something like that happened. But i think that the subject is getting to a point it wasn't meant to go. Too much discussion on to just a thingy loucas putted to tie the story. Dias was just a powerful jedi. He was tricted? maybe. He was killed and then used his name? maybe... Anyway, he was powerful and he died....it could be an accident, or he died in a mission of the counsil...that's why he wasn't in EP1, as he was away.. we can say million of things and create hundrends of scripts but i believe its simple. Loucas needed a char to tie the things... Of course he can have much more in his mind...so i don't put my hand in the fire for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaNothing Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Sifo Dyas could be anyone really, I doubt its Dooku, because he was still on the council around that time, and Qui Gon was never on the council, and they'd notice if he was on the council as a different name and appearance? Also didn't the Kaminoan PM address Sifo as the head of the jedi council? It could well be Sidious somehow or hell, it could be Maul! He died 10 years before! Put a mask on, hide his staff and he's a jedi, although I doubt very much Maul is Sifo Dyas..... This is one thing Lucas HAS to explain in Episode III.

lukeiamyourdad Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 I doubt Lucas will explain anything about sifo-dias. He(or she who knows) is not important to the main plot. The story of the creation of the Clone Army is over.period. Lucas will keep you guessing until he makes an ep2 special edition featuring sifo-dias.
