  • Every Count Dooku video I've ever made to date. I hope this brings you some enjoyment and perhaps more of an understanding about this underrated Jedi turned Sith Lord! Dooku was a very interesting character, and unbelievably powerful. He set in motion the events that evolved the Star Wars galaxy into what we know it as, today.
    Thank you for watching today's video. I hope you have a great day, and I'll see you in the next one! May the force be with you, ALWAYS!

      @@joerobottom4644 right lol… yoda was much better, the movie showed how much better yoda was as dooku could only hold his own for like maybe a minute, which is a good feat, but clearly means hes not the best, yoda is. the book goes into even more detail about how much better yoda is, it says dooku is shocked at how good yoda really was, he underestimated him, and he was getting scared as yoda was overpowering him quickly. mace is also probably a better duelist, if not at least even with dooku.

      @@dylantaylor8389 He was definitely worse in TCW than he was in Episode 2. Dave Filoni imo doesn’t write Count Dooku as a character well in The Clone Wars. In fact, he said that other than because he is a fan of Maul, Maul being in that show was actually because he didn’t know what to do with Dooku and Grievous in the show. I would’ve loved to see AOTC's Count Dooku in The Clone Wars more… the Dooku who was far more morally grey than just bad, willing to work with his supposed enemies to secure his own agenda unrelated to what his master Sidious or the Jedi Order wanted, instead of him just being portrayed as 'the bad guy under Sidious, but above Grievous' as I would say he is in most of The Clone Wars.

    it's fascinating that when Darth Maul was killed Palpatine lost his apprentice, but the death of Qui-Gon (on the same day) was the final straw that turned Dooku to the Dark Side, seamlessly supplying Sidious with a new apprentice. In a galactic game of checkers, Sidious was playing chess.

    Ever since I’ve seen Attack of the Clones as a kid, Dooku has and to this day always been my favorite Star Wars character in Star Wars. He truly had good intentions in creating a better galaxy before and after meeting Sidious. It was tragic to read about how he fell to the dark side in the books, but even worse, it was justified. And after seeing Tales of the Jedi yesterday, I was geeking out on how perfectly Filoni portrayed Dooku as a character.
    Edit: Thank you Theory for bringing the great lore on Dooku to CZcams for everyone to see. Mad respect

    Curved hilts! They are pretty baddass - I made a couple of them out of old Electrolux vacuum hose ends; the end that connects to all the hose end attachments and brushes is perfect! Real easy to dress up and detail, much like sink tube hilts, but a little rusty and rugged. It’s better metal as well, thicker wall, so tapping screws for assembly strips out less. Right now they are just dress hilts, but hope to put some newer neopixle kits in them. No idea what color though. Okay enough babbling, dig your channel - May the force be with you!

    I hate that my love of the Jedi is getting so muddied the past few years. Like, if Yoda is so experienced and intelligent in the force, how did he let them get so caught up in politics and becoming an arm of the Republic? Honestly that brings up the question, what is the Jedi's original mandate? Just protectors of the light side of the force? If so, why did they get involved in war at all? Seems like they would have stayed neutral in war like some religions today, because the force does not choose sides in human conflicts it would seem? An interesting thought. I suppose it starts with them getting involved in a battle that seems like there was obviously a good and bad side, then they start getting involved in more and more battles, realize how powerful a force they can be for good, and then slowly they get too involved with one side, and lose their original mandate? Sorry random thoughts, but I love these deep dives, keep going man!

    I believe that Lord Tyranus felt so powerful that he could use both the dark and the light to get things done sort of like when cops bend the rules to catch the bad guys . But you should never even bend the rules or even break them because you’re either a good cop or a bad cop you cannot be both and succeed just like the count did not succeed and crooked cops all get caught sooner or later . The count had a good heart just maybe he was too old and getting senile thinking he could be all mighty and overthrow sidious and rule the galaxy along with Obi Wan. With that said , count dooku is still my favorite Sith Lord .
