Dooku is like if a James Bond Villian was a sith lord. Which is ironic because he's played by Christopher Lee, who was the original inspiration for James Bond.
and played a bond villain lol
Francisco Scaramanga iirc
1of 3 inspirations for bond
I fucking love christopher lee, wasnt he the inspiration for black sabath, the band that started my favourite music genre
R.I.P. the goat o7
@@captainleonox3818the man with the golden gun
*R.I.P. Sir Christopher Lee. World’s Coolest Horror Actor and Fellow Metal Head* 🤘
Man, his performance killed it in Magic of the Wizards Dream, didn't it? o7 and F, but fr fr.
He was one of the greats. Told Jackson that was not the sound someone made when stabbed in the back. And backed it with war stories from his time as a commando in WW1. Love that man lol
I like that basically all of us have the same feeling when we hear "No Legends Canon"
I like the new Disney Canon Dooku Lore more than the legends Version
The sequels were the worst, but pretty much everything else that has come out of Disney's new canon is actually really good.
Edit: Live action shows (aside from Mandalorian) excluded.
Canon Dooku is better than Legends dooku
@@C-3POsolosinvci They have their merits. Both have sympathetic goals and aspirations, and both saw the corruption of the Republic and the stagnation of the Jedi Order. The difference is that Legends Dooku was basically a high-functioning psychopath whose only meaningful connections were Yoda and Qui-Gon, and sought to undermine the Sith after his apprentice's demise. Unfortunately for him, Sidious knew of his plans, influenced him, and corrupted him into becoming a monster. Canon Dooku, on the other hand, was a more well-adjusted person and remained more grounded as a person due to his more numerous support network. Until the moment where he just immediately fell off the deep end. They also set up Dooku's darkness earlier with Canon Dooku with his interest in the holocrons and his obsession with the Sith.
That said, I generally prefer Legends Dooku over Canon, primarily because the Clone Wars (2008) mischaracterizes him (as it does with most of its established characters) and because the only meaningful additions they have made were the "Dooku: Jedi Lost" book and the "Tales of the Jedi" show. The book was definitely good, and the show was alright, but he just doesn't have enough new material to sway me.
P.S. A major part of why I like Dooku in Legends more is his presence in the "Republic" comic series (which is what the 2008 cartoon tried to be) where he does make the Separatists seem appealing by actually making systems better with greater living conditions and helping the people, which leads into another big reason I like Dooku in this series. His relationship and conflict with Quinlan Vos, who is undoubtedly way fucking better in Legends. The less said of "Dark Disciple" and its poor treatment of Ventress, the better. I mean, Dave Filoni and co. never knew how to write Ventress, but that book was criminal.
The most important lesson I’ve learned from Star Wars is never trust a politician.
Sadly ironic how real that lesson is
@kira17801 The most important lesson I learned is that kids need their dads. The one about not trusting politicians is a pretty good one too.
Unless they're a female who wears a lot of white.
Obiwan always knew this lol
Yes, Sidious did see Qui-Gon as an obstacle to turning Anakin to the dark side due to the fact he would've taken the role of a father figure and mentor who truly could've understood and guided him. But imo the reason he *feared* him is because he was probably the only being in the galaxy that could've seen through his plans and wouldn't have fallen for it like every other jedi and the entire Republic did. He indeed wasn't afraid of Qui-Gon's skill with a lightsaber, yet he was afraid that he would be the one threat that could have foiled his plans. He feared the combination of his intelligence, independent-mindedness, stubbornness and most of all, his profound connection, understanding and trust in the Force.
Qui-Gon’s Gray Jedi ideals were his greatest strengths imo
@@MarcSamuels562 Qui-Gon is not a gray Jedi
@@theazurefire91 He had, however, the "healthiest" outlook and connection to the force, imo.
@@anasmouada9538 True, but that was because he was an authentic Jedi Knight.
Tbh people overstate how important Anakin was to Palpatine's plans. If Anakin had stayed with the Jedi, Palpatine could have ruled the Empire all the same. He just wouldn't have had his top enforcer. Things might have been a little harder, but by no means would his whole plan fall apart as a result.
Fun fact: Dooku was originally just gonna be called 'Darth Tyrranus' but he ended up with the name 'Count Dooku' because George was such a huge fan of the actor Christopher Lee and his work on the Hammer Dracula Movies so he wanted to pay Homage to Count Dracula
RIP forever Greatest Count! I wanna make it my headcannon, that because Christopher Lee played Dooku, that Count Dooku was a Vampire Jedi lol
Now THAT’S respect!
@@theLOSTranger234Well the Galaxy is a big place with some very unique species out there
Luke got rid of the 'no attachments' rule in the new jedi order which he successfully started. He got married to Mara Jade. He had a son named Ben. Loads of jedi had spouses and kids. But I guess Disney will have Rey be the one who successfully rebuilds the jedi order now.
Successfully rebuilt the Jedi order…. After his first apprentice destroyed an inhabited star system.
What Disney does doesn't matter. It's not canon.
@@ClarkKempt
Legends > Disney cannon
As badass as Dooku was, Christopher Lee, the actor who played him was exponentially more badass.
He was a direct descendant of Charlemagne.
He was an OSS agent and hunted nazis during and after the war.
He was one of the inspirations for James Bond.
He Played countless legendary characters including Dooku, Dracula, Saruman, and Scaramanga to name a few.
He was the oldest recorded heavy metal vocalist.
He was also in The Stupids.
42:40 The video simplifies what happened. The interaction is from the Tarkin novel, one of the best pieces of Disney Canon currently (which makes sense since the guy who wrote it also wrote Plagueis' backstory in the Plagueis novel). Tarkin understood that the Separatist Crisis isn't what it seemed and knew that someone was controlling things behind the scenes.
The book says that Dooku approached Tarkin multiple times, the last time being very shortly before he went to Geonosis and thus the beginning of the war. Tarkin voices his opinion to Dooku after Dooku's sales pitch to him, after which Dooku all but confirms that Tarkin's suspicion was correct when he said that the CIS would not target Eriadu in the upcoming war and that he looked forward to working with him in the future.
Tarkin was never sure what exactly went wrong with Dooku's plan, but he did *suspected that Vader was Anakin* based on their shared combat styles and also that *Palpatine may have been the Sith Lord* the Jedi had been concerned about. However, Tarkin *didn't actually care* that that was the case.
A funny little trivia: in Brazil, Dooku's name was changed to Dookan, because in Portuguese his name would sound like "Count of the asshole". No joke, look it up.
I love when shit like this happens lol
@@ClarkKempt you mean "I love when sith like this happens" XD
@@pelaajajm5698And i love when conversations like this happen.
Not exactly the translation, as it is even funnier.
Dooku sounds like (Dou o Cú), which literally translates to "I get fucked in the ass"/"Fuck my ass"
so they had to change, else his name would be "Count Fuck my ass"
Imagine if Sifo-Dyas showed up in the movies, since his name literally means "go fuck yourself" in Portuguese
Us: Watch Sidius vs Maul and Savage.
Nux: I have not watched Sidius vs Maul and Savage.
Sidius: Do it.
48:56 he didn't one-shot them, HE OUTFOUGHT them. Drowsy, blinded, and jumped and he fought them into a corner and then blasted them. Dooku was one of the best duelists
One of the greatest duelists to ever live in Star Wars. Canon and Legends. So good that even though his elegant style is mainly for 1 v 1 dueling and not great in crowds or for blaster deflection, he still did both effortlessly and against many of the greatest the republic could muster against him. Beating 2 top level Jedi at the same time on a consistent basis. Dooku was on another level for his time and his lack in force ability and extreme age was what ultimately kept him in check.
He didn't even lack in force ability, he was just below anakin sidious and yoda
@@averageinternettroll True his midichlorian count is higher than most of the council. He just happened to exist in the same era as 3 mega heavyweights in the force.
"If you diddle with the dark side the dark side diddles you back"
-Darth (prewatch) Nuxanor
40:10 When Dooku becomes Tyrannus, he is a completely different person. All of the good will he had died with Qui Gon. The only person he still genuinely was interested in was Obi Wan Kenobi. Otherwise, ideologically speaking Tyrannus was worse than even Palpatine. Dooku was a legend, Tyrannus was a monster in Dooku's skin.
3:21 "NO Legends cannon?! boo !"
Based Nux.
Ventress has a chronic problem of her lightsaber grip being too weak to resist them being taken.
Well also she gets bullied by stronger people like Yoda and Dooku who can easily just take it due to the strength difference.
Christopher Lee played such a great role as Count Dooku it's almost criminal, and I wish we got more of it in the movies plus he was played awesomely in clone wars
What makes Dooku different from most fallen Jedi is that his turn was based on apathy rather than malice.
Lucas described the Dark Side as Corruption and the easy path. He called the Force enlightenment and a challenge. The Force is far more powerful but it is harder and much more rewarding because of it.
24:32 The Galactic Republic doesn't have a standing military. There is no protection for member worlds. They have to either join defensive coalitions, do deals with one of the big mega corporations or have their own defence force. All local defence forces have to comply with Republic laws on weapon systems to prevent them from having too powerful of ships, but most worlds, even ones that were economically doing well like Naboo, would only have a few starfighter squadrons. The megacorporations were allowed to fit their large hauler craft with military grade weapons and security droids due to the threats of piracy and terrorism. This gave them a huge advantage.
dude, please check out the Legends Lore of Dooku. it almost Night and Day. also gives a hint of where he got the Light Sabers he gave to Ventress.
Fun fact: in the novelization of episode 3, Dooku and Sideous had actually planned on Dooku intentionally throwing his fight with Anikin and Obi-Wan and being taken prisoner. When Sideous told Anikin to "Dew it." His shock was because his master had betrayed him like he had done to his own apprentices.
It wasn't necessarily that he was going to throw the fight, he was just going to find an opportunity to lose gracefully. If Anakin would have genuinely lost to Dooku in any of their duels, he wouldn't have been worthy of making into a Sith so all their battles were legit.
Count Dooku is one of my favorites, ever since I was a little girl. I could always appreciate his character and the tactics he used, especially in Clone Wars.
47:49 The rule of two. There can only be two siths, and if one of their aprentices becomes too powerful, tends to end in one of them dead. Also, if I recall correctly, Dooku had plans to use Asajj Ventress to kill Palpatine and become the next sith, and Ventress his aprentice, and then Palpatine realized that, and forced Dooku to get rid of his trump card against the sith. So, it was an "either kill Ventress or show that you are no longer loyal to me" type of deal. But Asajj was quite loyal to Dooku until that betrayal.
Nux is correct about why Sidious feared Qui Gon, hence why the song during the battle of episode 1 is called Duel of the Fates, cause it is the battle that decides the fate of Anakin.
I recommend checking out Jacen Solo from Legends. He is very clearly the inspiration for Kylo Ren but disney did everything wrong.
The Disney Dooku is cringe they made him racist for no reason.
Nux you should check out Legends Lore over Disney lore imo.
Exactly.
Not all of Disney canon is bad, he should check out the Darth Maul shit for sure, the night sisters and Ventress, some more clone wars and rebels shit tbh
But mostly stick to legends ofc
That was literally canon from the very beginning. It was in the ROTS novelization.
The Dooku people like that is not fully Sith is only in Legends/the old EU. Canon Dooku is legit evil.
Edit: I realize I worded this badly. What I mean is Dooku's evil is more detailed and we get more info on what he wanted all the way up to his death in Legends. We also learn about how he was almost brought back to the light during the war.
Dis canon
Disney canon is ass, BUT Legends is also super fucking inconsistent. Dooku is more interesting as becoming evil.
You clearly didn't watch Tales of The Jedi or you'd know that isn't true. Why it's true that he did become truly evil he started out with noble intentions.
He's alwais been evil, even in old canon. Regardless of what you want to achive, starting a "world war" and advocating for a genocide makes you evil. Or are you trying to say that Hitler too was actually a good person becouse he just wanted Germany to prosper? The moment that horrible means become justified by the ends, one can no longer be considered morally upright.
@@AristasTheMonsterHunter That's fair. I guess what I meant was Dooku not falling conpletely and having that pull to the light, plus his plans for the galaxy, are only in Legends. I think that is mroe interesting to Nux
Asajj Ventriss's death was detailed in a comic book endorsed and published by Disney and for years that was her official end, right up until Disney realized they could milk her nostalgia even more and put her in the latest season of The Bad Batch.
Inconsistencies like these is what makes trying to keep track of moden SW lore so irritating.
1:02:27
To be fair to Anakin he wasn't going to originally kill Dooku and would have more than likely captured him if it wasn't for the fact that his father figure (the evil dark lord of the Sith that had been grooming him for years) HEAVILY "encouraged" him to do it multiple times despite Anakin initially not wanting to. That other guy on the other hand didn't have a devil over his literal shoulder telling him to kill Dooku so it was MUCH easier for him to decide not to end his life.
Boss you admitting to prewatching boss. We trusted you boss.
Just wait until Nux learns of Star Wars own Tryanid like faction the Yuuzhan Vong.
More like an upside down Genestealer-Nid dynamic with a side of SCP, but... yeah...
I love that a lot of what nux is criticizing about the jedi order up to its destruction at order 66 is exactly the point that most of what was built throughout the years since the prequels came out have expanded on in that while the jedi order at its core is a force for good it's strict adherence to and unwillingness to compromise their code often led to the rise of the very thing they're sworn to prevent. Revan, Malik, Dooku, and even Exar Kun are all examples of jedi who fell to the dark side ultimately because of the complicated times they lived in and how the code could only guide them so much before they would ultimately have to come to their own conclusions and make their own decisions sadly in those cases not for the betterment of the galaxy at large
Yes but I also feel like these videos are giving him a bit of a wrong idea of the Jedi, they are flawed but they do care a lot, watching mostly sith videos gives him a skewed view and he does not understand Jedi very well.
Thor Skywalker makes good videos explaining the Jedi and debunking some of the dumb hate they get, he points out their flaws yet debunks a lot of the misconceptions too.
Indeed, I am tempted to suggest the Philosophy of Kreia because of that. That delves deep into the issues of both the Jedi and the Sith. But I don't think it is time yet. Nux still needs more insight into Star Wars as a whole before we open that can of worms.
@@LuBronyr Got any other good ideas on videos that explains the Jedi well and shows the good in them yet their flaws? Cuz he is getting too much of a negative side to them and getting a few wrong ideas from chat cuz they are ignorant.
@@LeaderOfTheLostSouls I mean, Philosophy of Kreia is kinda like that. It does explore the failings of the Jedi but also just how messed up the Sith are. Ironically, it ends up on how significant OG Legends Luke is because of his actions and the New Jedi Order. In fact, that's a great example of Jedi being good. The Legends Luke Skywalker, you know, the REAL Luke Skywalker? Hey, how about his homie Kyle Katarn, another great example. Or if you want to go into the Old Republic Era, Jolee Bindo and his stories. Very wholesome and fun Jedi stuff.
Oh and also, Thor Skywalker's video on the lies and misconceptions about the Jedi is very good, too, so that's a good recommend.
@@LuBronyr Yeah I just want to make sure Nux does not get the misrepresentation of Jedi too much cuz they are the good guys in general but not all Jedi are good, and they are not perfect yet they deserve some respect.
Yeah I agree with you. It’s a good video for him to watch.
Yeah Thor Skywalker is one of the main channels I watch nowadays cuz of how knowledgeable and fair he is, Gen tech makes some good videos but they’ve gotten a bit positively toxic and have bad takes on the Acolyte tbh, they don’t understand the criticisms and lump us in with the haters imo.
Dooku is probably my favorite character in star wars and I'm happy that you did lore dive to his lore❤
Instead of attending Qui-Gon's funeral he confronted Sidious, unknowingly tracked by Master Yaddle to his and Sidious' meeting place, as a test of loyalty he was tasked with killing her.
Jedi:Survivor lets you use the same lightsaber techniques as Dooku with a pistol sidearm
Dooku tried to make Grievous force sensitive, using a blood transfusion, with Syfo Diaz
Nux thank you so much for doing these lore deep dives I work from 6:00 in the morning till 4:00 in the afternoon as an industrial painter and these videos have helped me get through those long days so thank you, dooku is honestly my favourite character in Star wars
In the beginning of this video, he said not including legends material, which is George Lucas Old work not Disney’s also he said that he was only going to implement the newest canon not the old so it is somewhat count, Dooku but it’s not his legends version
"You should never expect a politician to have empathy" Nux - 2024
Forgetting that both Riyo Chuchi & Padme Amidala both exist in that universe 😊
Bail Organa, Onaconda Farr
@@Punkmonkera _worthwhile_ politician, then, you pedantic kark!
And Leia.
37:22 Why is he so good at imitating 😂
Nux saying they shoulda just listened to the visions, someone send him a video about that one jedi schism that happened because a bunch of masters saw some visions then tried to pull the Anakin special on some padawans
I love how you love all the lore I love. You are obviously a man with great taste!
Funny tidbit. He left the Jedi Order to find his "Own Path", & his former padawan Qui-Gon Jinn refused a seat on the Jedi Council to find his "Own Path".
Turns out that both their "Own Paths" were just ways of helping The Sith in the end...
Not really. Qui-gon's path was to fallow the will of the force no matter what. Had he had taken a seat on the council he for the most part if not entirely been over ruled.
@@ragingrat7670 Yeah I see your point there & it's right.
I guess my points just more broad on how they both saw the flaws in the methods of Jedi & choose to disobey their rule & go on their "Own Paths" of solving things.
Qui-Gon did choose to connect with The Force more directly (The Force is a sentient thing) rather than interpret it's will through set rules.
Dooku saw the flaws in the Republic & the way it was ruled as a whole & wanted to forcefully impose a different order to rule, because to him Jedi weren't just Peace Keepers they also controlled the Galaxy. I also agree that The Jedi did rule the Galaxy & attacking Palpatine was Treason.
If a Sith is legally rallying votes to rule over The Republic, you can't just try to assassinated him right before he goes into office...(sound familiar?)
Picking canon Dooku over Legends Bane is crazy lmao
Both can body just about anybody though in a pure duel during their prime.
@@malmasterson3890 yeah probably. But imo Bane has a more interesting story :p
book 2 is a bit of a snooze but 1 and 3 are so good.
Umm, excuse _tf_ out of _you? Disney_ Dooku, fyvm...
That is half the reason Sheevy feared Qui yes; however the other reason is thay Qui Gon was unable to be blinded by the dark side, like the rest of the order was. Qui Gon was much too pure, too real, and honestly much too based. Sheev feared that he was the one Jedi that could see through his deceptions, and prevent his plan from succeeding.
Hey Nux, Dooku has his own short spinoff show about how he fell to the dark side on Disney plus and it’s really good. It’s called Tales of the Jedi and it also includes bits about Ashoka as well
2:34 I would’ve enjoyed this intro to the lore dive, but all I could think of was the fact that the same backdrop music was used in “Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life; Part 3”
Stupendous wave is probably the best person to get lore and timeline stuff from
Best thing about that saruman comment Christopher Lee played both Dooku and Saruman
I swear I'm gonna have to start doing the "X days of requesting Delta Squad lore" huh? I can't help it! These badasses deserve respect
You need to see a full breakdown on Anakin/Vader’s character. he is, in my opinion, the best and most complex character in star wars. Very fucking sad too
I agree as far as the films and the tv series goes but I think others are when you include books, games, and other sources (not disney).
@@ragingrat7670 that’s fair enough, i mostly meant like emotionally complex, but then again i am not well versed in old republic material. Only just recently getting into kotor and swtor
Can't wait for nux to do the Christopher Lee lore, bro has the coolest life story
I think this is the earliest I have caught a nux video. And it’s one I’ve been looking forward to for a while.
Dooku does have sith eyes, we see them when he's trained savage, he simply hides them. But the reason he's not deformed in any way is due to 2 things. #1 his goal was never to obtain power or strength but to bring down the corruption within the jedi and Republic. #2 being that he was one of if not the greatest lightsaber duelist of his era (on par with yoda who had 900 years of experience) dooku never relayed on the force as often as he did with his lightsaber.
“The Mace window treatment, throwing them out the Windu!”🤣🤣🤣
Nux if you watch Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi you slowly see doku turn into the dark side
Count Dooku is one of the coolest characters in all of Star Wars, and by far the most Superior looking 👀.
I’m still looking forward to the Darth maul deep dive
“Why did it skip to 18 minutes”
OOOOH so that’s how he beats the prewatch allegations.
I wish they would animate all the old lore
17:50 this is what the OT was about. Luke's belief in and love for his friends and family is what ends up saving the galaxy. Palpatine expected a man like Yoda, but he never prepared for a wild card like Luke.
The Revenge of the Sith novelization added two very fun details involving Count Dooku. Firstly, it revealed that he can see peoples' "auras". Obi-Wan's aura was like a peaceful meadow, Anakin's was like a raging storm, and Palpatine's was a void that sucked in everything like the event horizon of a black hole.
Secondly, the brief meaningful glance Dooku gave when Palpatine urged Anakin to kill him was expanded upon. To quote:
"And he knows, then, that all has indeed been going according to plan. Sidious’s plan, not his own. This had been a Jedi trap indeed, but Jedi were not the quarry. They were the bait
As he looks up into the eyes of Anakin Skywalker for the final time, Count Dooku knows that he has been deceived not just today, but for many, many years. That he has never been the true apprentice. That he has never been the heir to the power of the Sith. He has been only a tool.
His whole life-all his victories, all his struggles, all his heritage, all his principles and his sacrifices, everything he’s done, everything he owns, everything he’s been, all his dreams and grand vision for the future Empire and the Army of Sith-have been only a pathetic sham, because all of them, all of him, add up only to this.
He has existed only for this. This.
To be the victim of Anakin Skywalker’s first cold-blooded murder.
First but not, he knows, the last.
Then the blades crossed at his throat uncross like scissors.
Snip.
And all of him becomes nothing at all."
21:30 Im pretty sure that this is "somewhat official" interpretation used also by Dave Filoni
You can see it as part of interwiev if you type in YT search:
Star Wars: Duel of the Fates Explanation by Dave Filoni
As someone who enjoys SWTOR I humbly suggest checking out the story of Vitiate/Valkorion.
Somone teach Nux the Christopher Lee lore.
"I've been looking forward to this"
A lot of people echo that sentiment about Qui-Gon.
Sure, Obi-Wan “won” by defeating Maul, but not really. They won the fight but lost the war. After Qui-Gon died, they were doomed.
Now for Qui Gon's lore, Dooku's apprentice.
Only thing nux didn’t remember from previous lore was that Plageus bankrolled the clones
Not that it matters, this is a Disney lore video.
@@theazurefire91 while this is true, Plageus bankrolling clones is consistent I’m fairly sure, if I’m wrong I’m wrong
@@gabrieldevoogel6225 We don't know. You can't really use Legends lore to fill in the blanks in Disney lore. That's how you end up with the insanely stupid Ki-Adi-Mundi situation.
@@theazurefire91 nah your right, I’m wrong, thank you for letting me know
@@theazurefire91 but people will continue to do that, should Lucasfilm be justified in telling their Legends fans to fuck off?
So Dooku just becomes an evil old man with zero humanity left, yet manages to never develop sith eyes even after having his old best friend killed and having his sister killed in front of him. I’m sorry, but explain to me how going this far down the path of the dark side doesn’t lead to sith eyes? What made Dooku so unique was that he still maintained his tether to his remaining humanity. Having him kill Sifo Dyas and his sister yet feel grief over Qui-Gon being killed makes no logical sense. Legends wasn’t perfect, yet it made infinitely more sense than this absolute cluster-$#$@ of lore.
Nux needs to look into when Dooku convinced Yoda to embrace the dark side for a moment.
There's actually a lightsaber fighting style widely used by the Jedi that focuses on cutting off hands. That explains all the chopped of hands.
Finally! I love Dooku.
Qui-gon was the father figure for Anakin, but what also made him a major threat to Palpatine was his unique connection to the force
Ty nux you make Star Wars lore better
Nux sitting there baffled Palpatine could force choke dooku through a hologram when we saw Vader in empire strikes back force choke someone through a tv
Dooku being a master of lightsaber combat even comes out in his choreography, like in Ep 3 when he fights Anakin and Obi Wan if you oay attention he forces them out of their comfort zones by making Obi Wan go on the offensive and chase him down while also forcing Anakin to go on the defensive
There are offshoots of the Jedis, like the Imperial Knights of the Fel Empire also known as Imperial Jedi , founded by Empress Jaina Solo daughter of Princess Leila.
They are Grey Jedis who use the Force as a tool and train in how not to fall to the Dark Side.
It was their duty to prevent the Emperor from falling to the Dark Side and kill him if he fel.
I loved the Imperial Knights
There is a comic series on how Dooku and a bunch of Jedi fought Jango Fett and that is how he knew of Jango and how skilled he is.
Christopher Lee played a great villain especially as count dooku in my opinion.
@Nuxanor Dooku is not only considered to be the greatest lightsaber duelist of his generation but he is also recognized as one of the greatest lightsaber duelist in the history of the jedi order.
One of my favorite Dooku moments is from the Episode 3 Novelization. He's disgusted by Anakin's mechanical arm and remarks to Sidious "A true gentleman would have learned to fight one handed."
And then Anakin cuts off both of his arms.
Karma.
If memory serves that was from Labyrinth of Evil, not Episode III. But he did definitely say, or at least think that.
Day three of asking lord Nuxalore to react to all Elder Scrolls lore!!🙏🙏
It always comes down to one thing:
"Long live the banks!"
8:50 Notice how Dooku does a little look back just before he gets in the ship, verifying that Yoda still had the same strength he dod when he saved him
The next SW Lore dive Nux should do is Maul. Not only because it’s cool, but I want him to watch Maul - Hatred by Darth Porg immediately afterwards. It’s such an amazing edit to go with the score.
Can't wait for the "vader's apprentice" arc
The old jedi order believed that all attachments are evil and bad and lead to the dark side because emotions are evil, unlike Legends Jedi Grandmaster Luke's new jedi order, which encouraged familial attachments, as such things helped strengthen the jedi and their connection to the force, as long as you didn't let your emotions control you.
Edit: While Dooku making an offshoot order would've been interesting, I think it's been stated before (at least in Legends) that the Jedi viewed all non-Jedi Order "Jedi" as basically equivalent to the Sith. Either you're with the Jedi Order, or your against them. I could be misremembering something, though
18:08 Yes, priests can still maintain relationships with their families. I have a relative that is a Franciscan friar and he is very much allowed to visit his mother, siblings, etc. He just can’t have a wife and kids because he is “married to the Church”. Also, being Franciscan means he can’t really own a lot of material property as he’s also taken a vow of poverty
One of the reason the Republic had to choose their battle is because they didn't have an army before the Clone War. They had a Judicial force(just enough to be police) & the Jedi to assist defend each planet *defend themselves* . Basically the Republic on their own(without the local planet's support) can handle at max: medium griminal organizations or a couple of rebellious planets.... *NOT* big criminal Empire like the Huts, or something like the C.I.S
Before turning fully sith one of his best colleagues found out he was talking with sidious and dooku had to kill her and that’s one of the reasons he turned to the dark side
36:27 that's a Magneto moment right there. In the 1st live action X men movie, Magneto rips the guns from 30 cops' hands and fires a bullet that stops just as it reaches their foreheads. The absolute intimidarion, control, and calmness made Magneto a great villain.
He feared everyone but Vader cause he handicapped him with the cybernetics. Cause he knew he could lose like his master did
It's crazy how so many people didn't learn the lesson StarWars is trying to teach. Don't be an A hole, think for yourself dont just go with the flow of everyone around you, use your heart but don't be ruled by it, and try to do better for the next generation but don't ruin their childhood. Very simple but so many people couldn't understand the second layer behind good vs bad, bad is maybe not always bad and good isn't always good
Sidious feared that if count dooku had a strong and compliant apprentice/partner he could beat papa palpatine who would be all by his lonesome
Dooku is underrated
The banks were nationalized during the clone wars. The clone army was funded by the sith. The rule of 2 Sith acquired wealth over a thousand years.
Nux: I hate Disney Star Wars.
Proceeds to watch a video full with Disney Star Wars and enjoying it
I can't wait for Nux to find out about Glup Shitto 😂
