Cool insight Dooku disdains the word Jedi too, how they blindly comply to the republic instead of the force If someone following the doctrine of the Jedi was put in this situation, they might not be able to prevent the slaughter He hates how powerless they are, and how far they have deviated from the light
@@simon-peterwilliamson2412 true. Dooku is my favorite character. He's so deep and unique. Just an elegant count trying to save the galaxy from the corrupted republic and falling for the lies of Sidious..
Yeah while he was prideful and arrogant, i don’t think he was inherently “evil” or hooked like a junkie on the dark side. He wasn’t in it for the power I believe, he was there because he was disappointed by the lack of integrity of the senate and the complacency of the jedi counsel as just the republic’s bodyguard. He was just machiavellian in that sense, he though the end justified the means. Again, I don’t see him as evil for the sake of power or love of carnage, he was more of a disappointed idealist.
A Dooku quote to Anakin Skywalker after Anakin said to the Count, "My powers have doubled since we last met, Count!" Dooku's response: "Twice the pride, double the fall".
Dooku never fell to the dark side, he just merely embraced it. He had 100x more control over his emotions and thought patterns than any other sith. I honestly hate when they kill him in the movies.
I actually think his death is beautiful it shows just how Evil but how smart Sidious was. Dooku may have been the better Sithlord than Vader but Anakin was Younger,more powerful and represented more significance to the Jedi and the republic as he was considered their greatest warrior by many. Not to mention it shows us that Sidious was onto Dooku’s scheming right from the start. When he said “kill him” to anakin and Dooku and Palpatine exchanged glances it speaks a thousand words to us basically Sidious saying “you really thought I didn’t know what you where up to.” Dooku flew too close with the sun and played with fire and got burned.
I’d actually argue that dooku is doing what the Jedi SHOULD do in this situation. This guy is obviously oppressing others. And dooku is protecting those who can not protect themselves
@@KyleWallPuncher i personally think the jedi never shouldve allied themselves exclusively with the republic. if their goal is to be peace keepers for the galaxy. they instantly fail that mission when the republic goes to war with some other faction by refusing to aid the other side. you want to be peace keepers you have to help both sides.
@@KyleWallPuncher you think killing is some morally reprehensible thing, regardless of the circumstances. That kind of thinking is naive. What do batman and the jedi have in common? Kill a few to save a thousand, and they are to self righteous to do what must be done.
@@chase1146 well yeah the ajedi have fallen and became just as corrupt as the republic over thr thousands years. we can say that the "scholar" class of Jedi have been slowly removing and changing the true jedi ways due to alien creatures who truly can live like robots took over. this is why the green jedi while a little arrogant had the right path forward.
I sympathize with Dooku, he had very good intentions and unlike other Jedi was actually doing something to try and bring peace, sure he ended up in a bad place, but he had the intention of trying to make things better for everyone, he has the true heart of a Jedi, unlike the council
The way I had a fucking stroke reading this just walked into a funky comment section slowly dying with no reaction and pushed myself away when I tried to stop commenting but I couldn’t 🥶🥶🥶Damn
It’s about accurate from what I would expect of a Jedi knight of that calibre just suddenly unlocking their dark side understanding and potential It’s like giving a mma black belt the morals of a misguided street vigilante
One of the things I’ve loved about this guy is even though the decisions he made were not the best ones, they are conveyed in such a way that it makes you queation “Could you truly blame him for acting out that way?”
Yeah, this isn't Sideous's naked grabs for domination and power. It's a man who desperately wants to use the authority and strength given to him by the universe to *make it better.* And sometimes, to do that, you have to get your hands dirty.
@@greatninja2590 He saw the Jedi weren’t what they once were. So he decided to join the power that manipulated him into fighting for “Order, and Peace”
I really enjoyed this scene because when you hear the force choke sound effect, you're so used to hearing the imperial march. But then you don't and you remember that we're witnessing Dooku's fall, not Anakin's. Although they almost mirror each other in the way both grow so tired of the council's bs.

Quai-Gon has died, which Dooku's fallin... Remember the story of Quai-Gon & Dooku gay relationship. As the the 'New Canon' has stated. Just like you said, attachment leads to the dark side...
You really get so many layers of Count Dooku with this version. He remains stoic while connecting his anger to his power making him stronger, while looking calm and unbeaten. Then he has the whole judge dredd vibe going on where he maybe evil asf but he tries to be good Truly a well planned character
Quai-Gon has died, which Dooku's fallin... Remember the story of Quai-Gon & Dooku gay relationship. As the the 'New Canon' has stated. Just like you said, attachment leads to the dark side... My stick is better than bacon.
The whole Dooku arc was beautiful in ToJ. It really emphasized how important Qui-Gon was to Dooku as an apprentice and a surrogate son. If Qui-Gon wasn't there to stop him in that moment, I have no doubt that Dooku would have killed that corrupt senator. With how rampant corruption had been, I have no doubt that Dooku was already fed up with all the injustices that had been going on in the Galaxy.
Except where Anakin lost control of his emotions, Dooku you can see he has some control over his, he had a good cause for being on the dark side, it's pretty much the "Anti-Hero" art of storytelling where Dooku's actions while honorable can be viewed by the masses as something evil. Even in the short Dooku doesn't even try to kill any of the other guards he knocks them down keeping them alive, Anakin however went to massacre an entire village leaving zero survivors, similar to what would have happened to the village in the clip by the guy Dooku was force choking.
@@cursedhawkins1305 i assume your example is of sand "people", if it was anything else then you would be right however those animals are pests and should be treated as such
Some things that the Jedi had forgotten by the end of the Old Republic are their roots and the understanding of a true peacekeeper. Keeping the peace may mean you have to embrace violence if and once you have exhausted all other options. Dooku just embraced the dark side as well
it's amazing how a character as secondary as dooku was at the time and who is not usually the type of character who is given a backstory can give them such a good backstory
Dooku has always had a backstory, all that tales did is put it front and center and dumb down his fall to be much more obvious to a viewer. See the example below from the prequel novelizations: The Jedi Order's problem is Yoda. No being can weild that kind of power for centuries without becoming complacent at best or corrupt at worst. He has no idea that it's overtaken him; he no longer sees all the little cumulative evils that the republic tolerates and fosters, from slavery to endless wars, and he never asks, "Why are we not acting to stop this?" Live alongside corruption for too long and you no longer notice the stench. The Jedi cannot help the slaves of Tatooine but they can help the slavemasters. -Dooku, speaking with Sidious
@@LordMazilar I know perfectly well that Dooku had a story and had read it, however, until you see it in a series or movie, it's more difficult to empathize than when they animate it that well, that's what I wanted to say. On the other hand, I don't really know what you're saying, but blaming Yoda for everything that happened seems a bit exaggerated, when Yoda was a victim of the circumstances and context in which he grew up and for this reason it was not until the second film that he began to see it.
I'm still in shock how I can fall in love with Dooku again with even more reason why the way they animated his expressions through the episodes of him WHERE SO BEAUTIFUL. His fall is a tragic Tale. Unlike greed or power for power he was tired of the endless corruption, the Jedi being tools to the machine was a rotten core in his side that wound him deeply. As he did things that would leave him ashamed and In pain he still believed in his ideals that he is on the right path. A Jedi who fell for wanting to do something right, who's pain was his key to his fall. A tragic Villian in my eyes.
@@suumcuique4530 hmmm 🤔 I forget if Vader and Skywalker where separate personalities before or after Disney Buy. But never the less It's still WOOHOO AMAZING 😍
There was more to Dooku than anyone knew especially when he saw what others were too lazy or too ignorant to acknowledge. Dooku stared into the abyss and didn't blink, even though he knew that the path he walked afterwards would be that of a villain or a necessary evil of sorts.
Why bro we’ve got more than enough of him he literally just had a series come out not long ago surely there’s other people in the universe you’d rather see it would be an overflow of shit we’ve already seen if they were to bring the same characters back over and over again you can only do it so many times
Out of all the amazing jedi that could have their stories fleshed out more like Dooku’s. I personally think we’ve seen enough of Kenobi. I’d rather spend time seeing Fisto or another jedi people love and we just don’t see enough of.
Actually I read a book series with this exact story obi wan wasn't wanted by any jedi as a padawan so he was almost kicked out of the order and somehow got a slave collar stuck on him I don't remember exactly but it was a good read
The best villains aren't the ones you have no barrier to hate. They're the ones that make the dark, quiet bit deep inside you whisper "they're right, you know?" Those are the villains that really compel us, because we know that we could very well become them, if ever we find ourselves in their place.
Honestly the disney take in Tales isn't anything NEW about Dooku that we didn't already know. It's just dumbed down to the point where anyone can grok it. His motivations from the novelization of the prequel trilogy, for example: The Jedi Order's problem is Yoda. No being can weild that kind of power for centuries without becoming complacent at best or corrupt at worst. He has no idea that it's overtaken him; he no longer sees all the little cumulative evils that the republic tolerates and fosters, from slavery to endless wars, and he never asks, "Why are we not acting to stop this?" Live alongside corruption for too long and you no longer notice the stench. The Jedi cannot help the slaves of Tatooine but they can help the slavemasters.
This philosophy created the “antihero” and that’s why it’s by far the superior storytelling device. There are very few people who are “comic book” or “Bond villain” evil, all of us have a darkness within that empathizes with the antihero and like you said we can become him that’s what attracts us to these stories.
Meh, Evil villains are just as good, in no point did I ever think Sidious or Sauron were even remotely close to anything resembling being “right” yet they’re still some of the best villains there are
This honestly just goes to show how *fucking terrifying* the Jedi Knights are. The fact that even a Padawan can annihilate an entire squad before they can fire even a single shot is crazy
Dooku was a true hero. Just not the one the Galaxy Deserved, but one that was needed. The Republic had lost its way, and Dooku was trying to build a better tomorrow. Too bad he was seduced by Palpatine.
It really is amazing to think how powerful Jedi actually are. And how tempting it must be to use that power. The mental fortitude required to not abuse the power you were given is amazing it really is a wonder that there aren’t more fallen jedi.
This scene is so good. I'm having trouble stopping myself from rewatching this. The music and the change in Dooku's facial expression when he gets serious after he saw those behind him were struggling to survive. That was so good. This shows how Dooku only became serious and resorted to his harsh act out of a desperation to help people, not because he is a murderer or evil. Out of a pure desire to help and protect.
Dooku was quite a realist and saw the Republic for what it had become. Lazy, bloated, and corrupt at every level. As opposed to the rest of the Jedi who were so focused on their dogma to notice, much less care about the true state of the galaxy.
He is one of my favorite Jedi/Sith, even until his death he never was fully on the dark side the very reason why he was never seen fully as a Sith by his Master. Because even though most of his ways could be considered evil, his heart was in the right place, he could have been easily saved as well had the right person had helped him during certain times of his life.
Dooku is in many ways a perfect sympathetic villain because the /only/ reason that he becomes the villain is that the story isn't about him. Flat out. Dooku didn't join the Sith to become a true Sith. Dooku joined Sidious because Sidious promised him change, and he began to undermine sidious once he realized that Sidious' 'change' was little better. Dooku is the dark path for "With great power comes great responsibility." He lived and died by that motis, and it's the fault of the POV character being Anakin that we see him die. Here's him talking about the Jedi to Sidious, in one of the prequel novelizations. The Jedi Order's problem is Yoda. No being can weild that kind of power for centuries without becoming complacent at best or corrupt at worst. He has no idea that it's overtaken him; he no longer sees all the little cumulative evils that the republic tolerates and fosters, from slavery to endless wars, and he never asks, "Why are we not acting to stop this?" Live alongside corruption for too long and you no longer notice the stench. The Jedi cannot help the slaves of Tatooine but they can help the slavemasters. He doesn't repeat the classic spider-man mantra word for word but it's pretty much exactly the core message; Dooku fell because he believed the Jedi had a moral obligation they were not fulfilling. And in the novelization for revenge of the sith, Yoda realizes duirng his battle with Sidious the exact thing that Sidious is preaching above. Yoda realizes that the Jedi had become complacent and were blind to the idea that their great enemy had not done so
In my opinion, count dooku was the smartest Jedi. He knew that you had to get rid of it when it's shared its head. You can't just throw a hissy fit and not kill anyone like the rest of the Jedi you got to kill people sometimes and the only reason that count to became a sith was because he wanted to make the galaxy a better place overall and not just the parts that the Jedi were interested in
What's greater than our iconic beloved legend Sir Christopher Lee further cementing his epic legacy by being such a deeply compelling Star Wars character as well? Born to be a Count.
Dooku represents what the jedi should have been standing for. They can still stand for peace, but must know that they have to eradicate evil forces to maintain peace. Not just the sith. And learning both the light and dark sides of the force brings a better balance within the force.
The dark side isn't something to balence, it is unbalance itself. The force in its natural state is like a healthy body. The dark side is the name given to a cancerous growth that forms when someone uses the force selfishly. A body is not in balance when half of it is healthy and the other half is horribly deformed by tumors.
and you know what that's actually what surprises me about the Jedi in reality cuz there's Pirates bounty hunters enslave Traders all three of those groups and other terrorist organizations have attacked the Jedi Council or Republic but the Jedi choose not to get involved unless it has something to do with the separatist directly
This was one of my FAVORITE Star Wars things of all time. We finally get to see Dooku’s relatable, understandable, and ideological motivations behind working with Sidious. Not only this, but I just absolutely loved this Roman-like idea of a Senator leading an army within his region for his own agenda and even coming into conflict with a Jedi. When Ranulph Tarkin began building the ORSF (Outland Region Security Force), it bred fears on Coruscant of empire building, which is such a human/historical idea that I love to see. And this is another example of that. So good!
There is a massive difference between a fall and a choice. Dooku never fell to the Dark Side. He choose a path that would either bring the future he could live with or he will die trying. Dooku is very much like Kain from the Legacy of Kain series.
Dooku has been my favorite character ever since I read the novelization of Episode 3, and realized how complex of a character he is. I’m glad Disney is finally giving him some love, and more people get to see how cool he is.
This is why count dooku reminds me of the high jedi era where they did whatever was good by any cause killing etc the jedi's now are scared to kill when there is a right if people were harmed
Dooku is honestly one of my favorite sith. He embraced the Darkside, not just for selfish means. He never strayed from who he was, he kept control and was ready to do anything to stomp out corruption. Whether here, or within the Jedi.
Still love the fact that dooku could be summarized as you are bad guy. But that does not mean you are bad guy. Man only turned dark side cause he wanted to truly make the universe a better place. He had no intention or interest in power.
Yet he became it all the same. It likely didn't even cross his mind how far he'd fallen when he himself began filling the palace on Serano with riches stolen from his own people.
Count dooku was the perfect example of someone controlling his anger and the dark side, I mean I never rally saw him fight with anger ( dont mind this scene i mean rots ) i just love it
This scene was so powerful. It was heartbreaking to see these people who had been suffering for so long be fired upon and Dooku put himself in the middle to try and save them.
Nah Dooku was right in this situation even about the jedi he just had his mind polluted by Darth Sidious otherwise he would've formed a new great force order.
Dooku, in Tales, is the perfect incarnation of "the road to evil is paved with good intentions". Dude only wanted to right the wrongs of the system. He ended up being corrupted by an even greater evil.

😂
*Leonardo DiCaprio head turn* "You will?!"
I love how Dooku just before this corrupt official calls him a "Jedi" cuts him off with an infamous Sith power, the Force Choke.
Cool insight
Dooku disdains the word Jedi too, how they blindly comply to the republic instead of the force
If someone following the doctrine of the Jedi was put in this situation, they might not be able to prevent the slaughter
He hates how powerless they are, and how far they have deviated from the light
Tales really made us all kinda sympathize with Dooku
I did from the beginning. Poor guy was basically spilling all the beans to obi wan and they didn't listen
@@simon-peterwilliamson2412 true. Dooku is my favorite character. He's so deep and unique. Just an elegant count trying to save the galaxy from the corrupted republic and falling for the lies of Sidious..
Yeah while he was prideful and arrogant, i don’t think he was inherently “evil” or hooked like a junkie on the dark side. He wasn’t in it for the power I believe, he was there because he was disappointed by the lack of integrity of the senate and the complacency of the jedi counsel as just the republic’s bodyguard. He was just machiavellian in that sense, he though the end justified the means. Again, I don’t see him as evil for the sake of power or love of carnage, he was more of a disappointed idealist.
Truly my favorite sith in all of star wars
I already sympathize with the characters in the prequel trilogy tbh
Tales of a Jedi made it stronger
"Twice the pride, double the fall"
Nah, Dooku was right. The perfect Jedi for the republic would’ve been warriors who inspired fear at the mere thought of corruption
A Dooku quote to Anakin Skywalker after Anakin said to the Count, "My powers have doubled since we last met, Count!"
Dooku's response: "Twice the pride, double the fall".
@@rickeyb8812 zero times two is still zero
When you realise Dooku was a better good guy than the good guys 😂
Tales of the Jedi is so FREAKKING GOOD!!!
It’s like getting S tier clone wars episodes every episode
Dooku never fell to the dark side, he just merely embraced it. He had 100x more control over his emotions and thought patterns than any other sith. I honestly hate when they kill him in the movies.
I actually think his death is beautiful it shows just how Evil but how smart Sidious was.
Dooku may have been the better Sithlord than Vader but Anakin was Younger,more powerful and represented more significance to the Jedi and the republic as he was considered their greatest warrior by many. Not to mention it shows us that Sidious was onto Dooku’s scheming right from the start.
When he said “kill him” to anakin and Dooku and Palpatine exchanged glances it speaks a thousand words to us basically Sidious saying “you really thought I didn’t know what you where up to.”
Dooku flew too close with the sun and played with fire and got burned.
Dooku would of been a bigger threat to sidious than Anakin considering the fact dooku can analyse situations easily and come up with a plan
Yes but it is necessary
@@shawdcummings2160 Yes, but at the same time Dooku fell for Palpatines false promises.
@@Xarx42 Dooku didnt expect anakin to beat him his confidence got the better of him
I’d actually argue that dooku is doing what the Jedi SHOULD do in this situation. This guy is obviously oppressing others. And dooku is protecting those who can not protect themselves
Honestly, aside from going as far as to kill this man, I agree. If the Jedi were more willing to take action, they might not have lost.
@@KyleWallPuncher i personally think the jedi never shouldve allied themselves exclusively with the republic. if their goal is to be peace keepers for the galaxy. they instantly fail that mission when the republic goes to war with some other faction by refusing to aid the other side.
you want to be peace keepers you have to help both sides.
@@KyleWallPuncher you think killing is some morally reprehensible thing, regardless of the circumstances. That kind of thinking is naive. What do batman and the jedi have in common? Kill a few to save a thousand, and they are to self righteous to do what must be done.
At least like break his hands with the force
@@chase1146 well yeah the ajedi have fallen and became just as corrupt as the republic over thr thousands years.
we can say that the "scholar" class of Jedi have been slowly removing and changing the true jedi ways due to alien creatures who truly can live like robots took over. this is why the green jedi while a little arrogant had the right path forward.
when he saw the innocent being hurt, all bets were off
I sympathize with Dooku, he had very good intentions and unlike other Jedi was actually doing something to try and bring peace, sure he ended up in a bad place, but he had the intention of trying to make things better for everyone, he has the true heart of a Jedi, unlike the council
The way he just walked into them and slowly beating them with no reaction and pushed Qui gon jin away when he tried to stop him
🥶🥶🥶Damn
It remind me about Darth vader the slowly walking

It’s about accurate from what I would expect of a Jedi knight of that calibre just suddenly unlocking their dark side understanding and potential
It’s like giving a mma black belt the morals of a misguided street vigilante
Dooku trained Qui-gon who trained Obi-wan who trained Anakin. That tracks.
Qui-gon was the only one who could talk him down and he only truly fell after he was gone 😢
Which is a mirror to Anakin who gone bananas after the exile of his own, leaving him alone.
He was trying to save lives he knew what was going to happen he tried to stop the empire before it happened
One of the things I’ve loved about this guy is even though the decisions he made were not the best ones, they are conveyed in such a way that it makes you queation “Could you truly blame him for acting out that way?”
Yeah, this isn't Sideous's naked grabs for domination and power. It's a man who desperately wants to use the authority and strength given to him by the universe to *make it better.* And sometimes, to do that, you have to get your hands dirty.
He wasn't wrong, corruption needs to be eradicated
Why did he join the most corrupt of them all though ?
@@greatninja2590 I guess his thing boiled down to if you can't beat em join em
@@greatninja2590 He saw the Jedi weren’t what they once were. So he decided to join the power that manipulated him into fighting for “Order, and Peace”
He and Sidious ensured The Clone wars would happen so that the “True” evil and corruption of the Galaxy aka Jedi would end.
@@agentflordia8304 little did he know it was Palpatine who was truly corrupt and he was used as a stepping stone just like sidious
Thats why his dead.
“The road to hell is often paved with good intentions.”
A quote I think fits Dooku extremely well.
I really enjoyed this scene because when you hear the force choke sound effect, you're so used to hearing the imperial march. But then you don't and you remember that we're witnessing Dooku's fall, not Anakin's. Although they almost mirror each other in the way both grow so tired of the council's bs.

And a nod to his role in Dracula in his earlier movie career.
And the organ music in the background was a nice touch.
@@GTA2SWcity he got SO tired of playing Dracula all the time. He hated it.
At least he made his own heavy metal band when he was older.
@@adjcsee4476 True enough.
Though I already respected his earlier works, I gained a whole order of magnitude greater appreciation when I had to use a wrist-breaker sabre and period costume for a play. It was a struggle to sell it and try to make it look convincing without hurting myself or the other actors.
Quai-Gon has died, which Dooku's fallin... Remember the story of Quai-Gon & Dooku gay relationship. As the the 'New Canon' has stated. Just like you said, attachment leads to the dark side...
As a Mandolorian fan I actually agree with Dooku on this bit, corruption must be eradicated
So glad they kept the consistency of Count Dooku pulling double duty as Ansem the Wise
You really get so many layers of Count Dooku with this version. He remains stoic while connecting his anger to his power making him stronger, while looking calm and unbeaten. Then he has the whole judge dredd vibe going on where he maybe evil asf but he tries to be good Truly a well planned character

The whole Dooku arc was beautiful in ToJ. It really emphasized how important Qui-Gon was to Dooku as an apprentice and a surrogate son. If Qui-Gon wasn't there to stop him in that moment, I have no doubt that Dooku would have killed that corrupt senator. With how rampant corruption had been, I have no doubt that Dooku was already fed up with all the injustices that had been going on in the Galaxy.
anybody would feel the same way in Dookus shoes
Jedi apprentice young adult books did this scene first
Dooku, the only hero in the dark side, he just wanted to end corruption, kinda
A show around these two would have been perfect
"Let them remember that we are keepers of peace not because we are noble... but because we are strong"
- a tired jedi
If they had been that way than it could have helped them. Or the Galaxy would go to war with them over fear
Only if the jedi actually believed that shit lol
I love how Anakin and Dooku are so similar. Doing what they think is right and it leads them to the dark side. I loved seeing young Dooku
Except where Anakin lost control of his emotions, Dooku you can see he has some control over his, he had a good cause for being on the dark side, it's pretty much the "Anti-Hero" art of storytelling where Dooku's actions while honorable can be viewed by the masses as something evil. Even in the short Dooku doesn't even try to kill any of the other guards he knocks them down keeping them alive, Anakin however went to massacre an entire village leaving zero survivors, similar to what would have happened to the village in the clip by the guy Dooku was force choking.
@@cursedhawkins1305 i assume your example is of sand "people", if it was anything else then you would be right however those animals are pests and should be treated as such
Some things that the Jedi had forgotten by the end of the Old Republic are their roots and the understanding of a true peacekeeper. Keeping the peace may mean you have to embrace violence if and once you have exhausted all other options. Dooku just embraced the dark side as well
I wish Sir. Christopher Lee was here, he'd have loved to hear the story behind dooku, why he fell, why he rose.
"This is where the fun ends."
it's amazing how a character as secondary as dooku was at the time and who is not usually the type of character who is given a backstory can give them such a good backstory
They did after all gave Boba his story, this feels right that they do the same to The Count
@@datalysjr3339 yep
Dooku has always had a backstory, all that tales did is put it front and center and dumb down his fall to be much more obvious to a viewer. See the example below from the prequel novelizations:
The Jedi Order's problem is Yoda. No being can weild that kind of power for centuries without becoming complacent at best or corrupt at worst. He has no idea that it's overtaken him; he no longer sees all the little cumulative evils that the republic tolerates and fosters, from slavery to endless wars, and he never asks, "Why are we not acting to stop this?" Live alongside corruption for too long and you no longer notice the stench. The Jedi cannot help the slaves of Tatooine but they can help the slavemasters.
-Dooku, speaking with Sidious
@@LordMazilar I know perfectly well that Dooku had a story and had read it, however, until you see it in a series or movie, it's more difficult to empathize than when they animate it that well, that's what I wanted to say.
On the other hand, I don't really know what you're saying, but blaming Yoda for everything that happened seems a bit exaggerated, when Yoda was a victim of the circumstances and context in which he grew up and for this reason it was not until the second film that he began to see it.
@@LordMazilar such a good quote it's hard to believe it's from a series about people fighting with oversized glow sticks
"Justice isn't always on the good side "
We need more of count Dooku. we need a count Dooku Disney+ show make it happen, Disney
I'm still in shock how I can fall in love with Dooku again with even more reason why the way they animated his expressions through the episodes of him WHERE SO BEAUTIFUL. His fall is a tragic Tale. Unlike greed or power for power he was tired of the endless corruption, the Jedi being tools to the machine was a rotten core in his side that wound him deeply. As he did things that would leave him ashamed and In pain he still believed in his ideals that he is on the right path.
A Jedi who fell for wanting to do something right, who's pain was his key to his fall. A tragic Villian in my eyes.
Like Anakin he never fell completely. Dark Jedi were the downfall of the Sith.
@@suumcuique4530 hmmm 🤔 I forget if Vader and Skywalker where separate personalities before or after Disney Buy. But never the less It's still WOOHOO AMAZING 😍
I like how it shows how ineffective his form is against blaster wielders, a nice touch by Dave Filoni
There was more to Dooku than anyone knew especially when he saw what others were too lazy or too ignorant to acknowledge. Dooku stared into the abyss and didn't blink, even though he knew that the path he walked afterwards would be that of a villain or a necessary evil of sorts.
We need to see Obi-Wan Kenobi meeting Qui-Gon Jinn for the first time and beginning to train him in Obi-Wan Kenobi origin story
then you'd see Obi-Wan kicked out of the order because no master wanted him as a padawan
Why bro we’ve got more than enough of him he literally just had a series come out not long ago surely there’s other people in the universe you’d rather see it would be an overflow of shit we’ve already seen if they were to bring the same characters back over and over again you can only do it so many times
Then you would see qui-gon request obi-wan to fail his trials because of how weak he was in the force
Out of all the amazing jedi that could have their stories fleshed out more like Dooku’s. I personally think we’ve seen enough of Kenobi. I’d rather spend time seeing Fisto or another jedi people love and we just don’t see enough of.
Actually I read a book series with this exact story obi wan wasn't wanted by any jedi as a padawan so he was almost kicked out of the order and somehow got a slave collar stuck on him I don't remember exactly but it was a good read
The best villains aren't the ones you have no barrier to hate. They're the ones that make the dark, quiet bit deep inside you whisper "they're right, you know?"
Those are the villains that really compel us, because we know that we could very well become them, if ever we find ourselves in their place.
Honestly the disney take in Tales isn't anything NEW about Dooku that we didn't already know. It's just dumbed down to the point where anyone can grok it.
His motivations from the novelization of the prequel trilogy, for example:
The Jedi Order's problem is Yoda. No being can weild that kind of power for centuries without becoming complacent at best or corrupt at worst. He has no idea that it's overtaken him; he no longer sees all the little cumulative evils that the republic tolerates and fosters, from slavery to endless wars, and he never asks, "Why are we not acting to stop this?" Live alongside corruption for too long and you no longer notice the stench. The Jedi cannot help the slaves of Tatooine but they can help the slavemasters.
This philosophy created the “antihero” and that’s why it’s by far the superior storytelling device. There are very few people who are “comic book” or “Bond villain” evil, all of us have a darkness within that empathizes with the antihero and like you said we can become him that’s what attracts us to these stories.
Very well put my friend.
That is simply a matter of preference
Meh, Evil villains are just as good, in no point did I ever think Sidious or Sauron were even remotely close to anything resembling being “right” yet they’re still some of the best villains there are
Count dooku is my favorite sith his whole story of him seeing the flaws in the republic and wanting to make things better is really cool.
Prime example of "Keep fucking around and find out."
The timing of the choke before he can say "Jedi" is everything.
I thought it was perfect timing, kinda saying in a way, “I’m no Jedi”
“Corruption like yours must be eradicated…”
This honestly just goes to show how *fucking terrifying* the Jedi Knights are. The fact that even a Padawan can annihilate an entire squad before they can fire even a single shot is crazy
Dooku was a true hero. Just not the one the Galaxy Deserved, but one that was needed. The Republic had lost its way, and Dooku was trying to build a better tomorrow. Too bad he was seduced by Palpatine.

Facts😂💀
It really is amazing to think how powerful Jedi actually are. And how tempting it must be to use that power. The mental fortitude required to not abuse the power you were given is amazing it really is a wonder that there aren’t more fallen jedi.
Dooku is the Snape of Star Wars
This scene is so good. I'm having trouble stopping myself from rewatching this. The music and the change in Dooku's facial expression when he gets serious after he saw those behind him were struggling to survive. That was so good. This shows how Dooku only became serious and resorted to his harsh act out of a desperation to help people, not because he is a murderer or evil. Out of a pure desire to help and protect.
Dooku was quite a realist and saw the Republic for what it had become. Lazy, bloated, and corrupt at every level. As opposed to the rest of the Jedi who were so focused on their dogma to notice, much less care about the true state of the galaxy.
Dooku taught Qui gon how to be an excellent Jedi. They were the only ones that actually cared
Him force choking somebody with his hand out the entire time while he is deflecting the blaster bolts is just badass.
He is one of my favorite Jedi/Sith, even until his death he never was fully on the dark side the very reason why he was never seen fully as a Sith by his Master. Because even though most of his ways could be considered evil, his heart was in the right place, he could have been easily saved as well had the right person had helped him during certain times of his life.
Dooku is in many ways a perfect sympathetic villain because the /only/ reason that he becomes the villain is that the story isn't about him. Flat out.
Dooku didn't join the Sith to become a true Sith. Dooku joined Sidious because Sidious promised him change, and he began to undermine sidious once he realized that Sidious' 'change' was little better.
Dooku is the dark path for "With great power comes great responsibility." He lived and died by that motis, and it's the fault of the POV character being Anakin that we see him die.
Here's him talking about the Jedi to Sidious, in one of the prequel novelizations.
The Jedi Order's problem is Yoda. No being can weild that kind of power for centuries without becoming complacent at best or corrupt at worst. He has no idea that it's overtaken him; he no longer sees all the little cumulative evils that the republic tolerates and fosters, from slavery to endless wars, and he never asks, "Why are we not acting to stop this?" Live alongside corruption for too long and you no longer notice the stench. The Jedi cannot help the slaves of Tatooine but they can help the slavemasters.
He doesn't repeat the classic spider-man mantra word for word but it's pretty much exactly the core message; Dooku fell because he believed the Jedi had a moral obligation they were not fulfilling. And in the novelization for revenge of the sith, Yoda realizes duirng his battle with Sidious the exact thing that Sidious is preaching above.
Yoda realizes that the Jedi had become complacent and were blind to the idea that their great enemy had not done so
Bad Batch Season 2 Episode 2 18:18. Dooku corrupt as fuck
The only one i think coulda saved Dooku wouldve been his old padawan Qui Gon. and he's pretty dead
"Not even you, Master Jed-"
"Sorry, Force Choke got your tongue?"
In my opinion, count dooku was the smartest Jedi. He knew that you had to get rid of it when it's shared its head. You can't just throw a hissy fit and not kill anyone like the rest of the Jedi you got to kill people sometimes and the only reason that count to became a sith was because he wanted to make the galaxy a better place overall and not just the parts that the Jedi were interested in
Yeah I think that too
The moment you can see the lights go out in his eyes and your like yep you all die now until the son and Qui Gon turn them back on
This really was a missed opportunity for an extended count dooku series, I absolutely loved seeing him as a Jedi.
Bro was like
“You talk a lot of shit for someone in force choke range”
Edit yeah I know theirs no range it’s just hilarious please take a joke
Bro that killed🤣🤣🤣
"they say you shit yourself when you die.... Let's find out"
I mean any range is force choke range Vader showed that in episode 5
Dang, that one was hilarious 😂
There is no range
What's greater than our iconic beloved legend Sir Christopher Lee further cementing his epic legacy by being such a deeply compelling Star Wars character as well?
Born to be a Count.
Dooku represents what the jedi should have been standing for. They can still stand for peace, but must know that they have to eradicate evil forces to maintain peace. Not just the sith. And learning both the light and dark sides of the force brings a better balance within the force.
The dark side isn't something to balence, it is unbalance itself. The force in its natural state is like a healthy body. The dark side is the name given to a cancerous growth that forms when someone uses the force selfishly.
A body is not in balance when half of it is healthy and the other half is horribly deformed by tumors.
But once you start stepping into the dark, you start to justify it more and more. Not to mention grey areas are so hard to find nowadays.
@@mignotmid grey areas are everywhere, its those who fail to see them that cause the greatest harm
and you know what that's actually what surprises me about the Jedi in reality cuz there's Pirates bounty hunters enslave Traders all three of those groups and other terrorist organizations have attacked the Jedi Council or Republic but the Jedi choose not to get involved unless it has something to do with the separatist directly
lukes jedi order i think follows that
Count dooku did not fall to the dark side, he stepped down to it for the good of the galaxy
He was choking him out and effortlessly deflecting those blaster bolts like an absolute badass not gonna lie 👌🏾
This was one of my FAVORITE Star Wars things of all time. We finally get to see Dooku’s relatable, understandable, and ideological motivations behind working with Sidious.
Not only this, but I just absolutely loved this Roman-like idea of a Senator leading an army within his region for his own agenda and even coming into conflict with a Jedi.
When Ranulph Tarkin began building the ORSF (Outland Region Security Force), it bred fears on Coruscant of empire building, which is such a human/historical idea that I love to see. And this is another example of that. So good!
Bruh I feel like we needed more scenes like this with Dooku
We neeed more!!!!
Well that would mean Disney couldn't shove ahsoka in
@@DerNomade1871 true
That look from anger to oh shit what did I just do was intense
There is a massive difference between a fall and a choice. Dooku never fell to the Dark Side. He choose a path that would either bring the future he could live with or he will die trying. Dooku is very much like Kain from the Legacy of Kain series.
All I’m saying a whole lotta sith had really good reasons to change teams
This is my favourite scene in tales of the jedi - so sick - the Music - the vibe - feels like some new Star Wars kinda
It’s like an alternate ending to rdr 1 they even have a shot for shot
This is what the Prequel lacked. I love Dooku's backstory.
I wouldn't call this a fall to the darkside, I'd call this justice
Dooku has been my favorite character ever since I read the novelization of Episode 3, and realized how complex of a character he is. I’m glad Disney is finally giving him some love, and more people get to see how cool he is.
Good musical score here.
Agreed.
This is why count dooku reminds me of the high jedi era where they did whatever was good by any cause killing etc the jedi's now are scared to kill when there is a right if people were harmed
imagine if young alan rickman played a young count dooku
dooku in a bane voice: you have soldiers with you, do you think this gives you power over me? *force choking intensifies*
Jedi tales: holds the answers that fans needed and asked for
Dooku is honestly one of my favorite sith. He embraced the Darkside, not just for selfish means. He never strayed from who he was, he kept control and was ready to do anything to stomp out corruption. Whether here, or within the Jedi.
Dooku is the best jedi to ever exist and he taught qui gon very well
Tales of the Jedi is just a piece of art
Still love the fact that dooku could be summarized as you are bad guy. But that does not mean you are bad guy. Man only turned dark side cause he wanted to truly make the universe a better place. He had no intention or interest in power.
The man was a bigger racist than Sideous!
Yet he became it all the same. It likely didn't even cross his mind how far he'd fallen when he himself began filling the palace on Serano with riches stolen from his own people.
damn, really liking that drip those soldiers boys got on 😎
Count dooku was the perfect example of someone controlling his anger and the dark side, I mean I never rally saw him fight with anger ( dont mind this scene i mean rots ) i just love it
“The dark side is a path way to many abilities some consider unnatural..”
is the only thing to come to mind when I first saw this episode low key
This scene was so powerful. It was heartbreaking to see these people who had been suffering for so long be fired upon and Dooku put himself in the middle to try and save them.
Nah Dooku was right in this situation even about the jedi he just had his mind polluted by Darth Sidious otherwise he would've formed a new great force order.
Would he? Or would he have eventually just become the same tyrant he sought to eliminate?
Power corrupts.
Dooku, in Tales, is the perfect incarnation of "the road to evil is paved with good intentions".
Dude only wanted to right the wrongs of the system. He ended up being corrupted by an even greater evil.
What is beauty?
Beauty is letting your enemy ramble, before showing it true despair.
Its hilarious how Dooku pilfered planets later in life. Dude was a menace
Darth Mouse can literally do a one hour a day soap opera style series that covers Dooku's life from fall for years.
This whole mini series went so fucking hard.
