Communication breakdown

People often ask me how Dooku and I chose Jango Fett as the template for our clone/stormtrooper army. The truth is stranger than you think. When Lord Tyrannus asked me what to look for in the perfect warrior, I said, "Lord Tyrannus, find me the gutsiest bounty hunter in the galaxy.". One thing, you have to know about Dooku is that he has the worst hearing. I mean the poor guy is practically deaf, and he is too vain to wear his hearing aides. So what he hears is, "find me the klutziest bounty hunter in the galaxy.". Jango Fett was born with the natural ability to trip over lines on the floor, knock over statues, and bonk his head into doorways. I think it was really what ended up killing him. When you have a bad-assed jedi master coming at you with with a purple lightsaber, you don't star fiddling with controls on your jetpack.

Sometimes, when I see a stormtroooper knock his head against a door, I think of Jango and I laugh. Then I throw the trooper down a reactor shaft
