We tend to see Count Dooku as a pretty evil individual. But upon closer inspection one realizes that from Dooku's point of view... he had no choice but to betray the jedi.

Wow this video is a hot take
If getting the curved Lightsaber, remember that Form 5 can also fully utilise the curved hilt. In fact, it allows unorthodox angles, so it's harder to defend against a Form 5 Djem So user wielding a curved hilt, and they can apply more power with than with a straight hilt as well.
Mix it with Form 2 Makashi, and in effect, you would be transitioning between one - and two-handed styles as needed, _both optimised for the same curved hilt lightsaber._
Utilising different styles that are optimised for different types of lightsabers would be less intuitive.
Form 5 is also the best counter to Form 2, so another Form 2 duellist expecting a fencing duel upon seeing your Lightsaber will be in for a shock.
And Form 5's second component, Shien, was great for dealing with blaster fire, the most common threat to Jedi. While Form 3 Soresu was excellent at defending against blasters, reflecting shots back at the shooter could be considered a better defence than Form 3 as it immediately took out the threat of follow-up shots.
Forms 2 and 5 would cover most contingencies without having to train extensively in other styles.
That Padawin, is why a curved hilted Lightsaber is a good investment.

Fear. As Yoda is immortal due to 800+ years of using ketamine and hits him with his BMW car with no turn signals

@@Kurama420 I love how much the “sealverse” has -curoppted- enlightened the Star Wars community
I get it😂
Because I do
Most people think they are doing the right thing. Few embrace their evil like Sidious and Jabba.
The road to hell has always been paved with good intentions.
Jabba was a typical gangster. Totally outside the complete evil of Sidious
Just remember that in principal, you are no better or worse than anyone else.
Jabba ain't shit but an NPC
I wish for the strength of character to be able to boldly stand in a room of my peers and tell them they are all wrong, and be right.
I did that once, the next day most of them apologized and said they should have listened to me lol
"Not a dinosaur who's a lawyer, which would be impossible."
Well, with that attitude it is.
As time goes on and we see the depth of the corruption of the way of the Jedi, it is understandable to see the rise of the Separatists and Dooku’s defection. It’s tragic, and we see his struggles shape and form Qui Gon into the master he became. It’s our space opera full of tragedy.
If you become a bird lawyer, then you'll become a dinosaur lawyer.
Alligators and sharks are a decent option as well. Sharks definitely needed some help during the shark hunts
@@vikingsword3485 great movie though
Thats so true, help the people you know in any way that you can. Help those in your own home first. Then help your friends when they need it. Then help your community. Always be able to see if your help is actually helping a person move forward or backward in his/her life.
Why?
@@TheNewblade1it’s all about love
Dooku is definitely one of the more interesting characters in Star Wars.
His story reminds me a lot of Thrawn (Timothy Zahn Thrawn), a lot less Disney villain an more anti-hero who is trying to do the right thing. In Dooku's case he was fighting a losing battle. With what the Jedi and Republic have become and the Sith operating from the shadows, it was too much uncertainty and too little support. Whereas with Thrawn, every Chiss were focused on the Grysk threat and every Chiss knew it had to be defeated. They disagreed on the methods, such as a pre-emptive strike which Thrawn favored.
Ths Chiss understood his mission and believed if anyone could get it done it'd be Thrawn, the only one in the Empire who knew of the Grysk threat (aside from Vader and Thrawn's loyal crew of the 7th Fleet) was Palpatine. This really forced Thrawn into a box. Had Mon Mothma's actions shown her to be more like Leia when it came to matters of Defense, Thrawn very well may have become a double agent for the Rebellion. Especially by the time of Lothal's Liberation and the space whales. While supporting Thrawn publicly, internally Palpatine was becoming more and more suspicious as Thrawn became more decisive when encountering what he perceived as threats. And Palpatine believed that once the Death Star was built that his need for master tacticians like Thrawn would no longer be required. It might be a safer bet to dispose of Thrawn than keep him around. A similar fate to what ultimately happened with Count Dooku. Dooku had served his purpose and Anakin was nearly ready to fall, better to strike first and kill Dooku than leave him alive and risk Dooku turning against him when it became clear that Sidious had no intention of acting in anyone's best interests aside from himself.
@@merikano2985 Exactly. And a lot of Dooku's criticisms of the Jedi Order and their methodologies was well founded.
I always thought Dooku's character was done dirty by Lucas. He was too one-dimensional and he could've played a way more interesting part. I'd like to think what he told Obi-wan on geonosis was the truth, that Dooku was effectively trying to do the right thing after the Jedi council didn't take the Sith threat seriously.
I still think he was. I think that was his last attempt to not fall completely to the darkside. It was his last lifeline for help. That last chance that he wouldn't have to become evil, and go against his morals to have a chance to fix the galaxy.
I think that holds up. Especially with the descriptions from Dooku: Jedi Lost. Still breaks my heart when we see how he’s fallen beyond redemption by the end of the novel after spending so long reliving how truly good of a man he once was
If anything this makes Dooku apear even more gullible because he allowed himself to be manipulated. It doesnt matter if you fall for good reasons what matters is that you have fallen to evil.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
That said SIdious had pushed Dookus buttons like a master. The jedi methods and failings might have planted the cracks - but it was sidious who exploited them and it was Dooku who let him.
This. Dooku had all the privileges as someone who grew up in and around wealth just like Palp. He has no excuse because his mind was already trained to be at the top.
@@persuasivebarrier2419 The Jedi lost their way over decades, their ignorance eventually give birth to the Clone wars and General Grevious, and its not the first time, they did the same mistakes from Revan time, long before the Rule of 2 was born. The Kettle was going to blow steam sooner or later, it just happen to boil evenly in Dooku's lifetime.
@TwiceStruck general grevious was created because of dooku. The clone wars was started with the help of dooku. It's extremely weird how yall blame the jedi for everything
@@Spider-Man647imo you're missing the point. The Jedis teachings, like the ideas of democracy, are good but when melded with the Republic (capitalistic institutions) the outcomes are what we see.
The other problem is it's fruitless to analyze the Jedi on an abstract level because they don't exist on that level, they exist as an instrument of the Republic. Therefore, jedi always bad.
Btw I put them in brackets because I also don't think one can understand that without the political implications because George Lucas was anti-capitalist.
Your not giving Dooku any credit tbh Count Dooku was a respected jedi master with yrs of experience. He was a jedi for a majority of his life and a sith for a little over a decade. It is this very reason Dooku was able to 'control' the darkside so it wouldnt corrupt him.
Granted the darkside did twist his thinking as evidence in TCW show. But regardless, I doubt Dooku was that stupid to be strung along by palps. Dooku had his own plans with Ventress then Savage etc.
I think it's interesting how sir Lee has played two somewhat similarly arrogant, iconic traitor characters in fantasy: Dooku and Saruman. However, while Saruman did what he did for his own selfish gain, I believe Dooku never stopped believing he was doing the right thing that would help the most people.
Saruman was also trying to do what he thought he was right, but he was also absolutely, 100% unwilling to believe he was ever wrong, and that hubris meant that once he had started down a dark path, nothing could ever convince him it had been a mistake to do so. The movie's dialogue when Gandalf confronts Saruman makes Saruman's despair at defeating Sauron clear, but cuts the part where he expresses contempt for their nominal allies Theoden and Denethor. Book!Saruman is more clear that Saruman doesn't think Sauron is inherently unstoppable, but that the wizards made a fatal mistake by trying to advise Theoden and Denethor instead of taking over Rohan and Gondor to rule them directly. So now the only thing left to do is become vassals of Sauron and try to be relatively less cruel overlords of Rohan than an orc or a nazgul would be.
Gandalf's confrontation with Saruman after the Battle of Helm's Deep got cut from the theatrical release because it didn't really advance the overall plot much, but it's important to Saruman's arc, because it shows how utterly Saruman has succumbed to his hubris. He made his army of ten thousand uruk-hai and his blasting powder and he attacked Helm's Deep and...he lost. The "idiot" Theoden drove him off with a smaller army even before the ents arrived, and the ents' attack finished off any hope Saruman had of regrouping. Even with the reinforcements Gandalf brought (who turned the battle in favor of Rohan), Rohan was still outnumbered by about 2:1. If Saruman was really so much smarter than Theoden and Eomer, he should've been able to win. And it's not like the ents came from nowhere, either. Saruman used to have regular conversations with Treebeard, he undoubtedly knew that the ents would hate his clearcutting operation, he was trusting to blind luck that their response would be slow enough that he wouldn't be overwhelmed by it. They weren't a mystery to him, and if he was really the super genius master strategist he thought he was, he would've known that the ents might attack him at any moment.
Saruman thought he was a supergenius and that he was forced to side with Sauron because Theoden and Denethor were just too stupid to take his advice and now it was too late, but the second he transitioned from intrigue and political manipulation to field combat, he immediately got thrashed despite all the massive advantages he'd stacked up for himself while doing intrigue. It turns out that fighting wars is hard and requires lots of different skills from domestic managements to political maneuvering to actual combat, and when Saruman tries to do it all himself, his blind spots are different from Theoden's but they are even more crippling. And in the aftermath, he absolutely will not admit to being wrong, that clearly, demonstrably, the Free Peoples of Middle-Earth can defeat orc legions of dark lords, that his despair at Sauron's rise was completely, provably incorrect and that every terrible thing he did because of that belief wasn't some hardship that the wise could see the necessity of - it was just evil.
Tolkien is too busy writing about how much he likes hiking to make this kind of stuff clear, but despite its line-by-line problems, Lord of the Rings is full of this kind of stuff. Half the villains are avatars of pure evil, but the ones who aren't have really well thought out and believable motivations for siding with Sauron.
I love how you create real life lessons out of lore videos. You are one of my favorite Star Wars TH-camrs, keep it up!
Your show is widely listened to. I was listening to it in my car, and a guy who just drove up looks over and was like, "Generation Tech?"
Show? What show?
Tried to save both his pupil, and his pupil’s pupil from war he was going to start. One can always respect the effort to put your people over everything else
Dooku is one of my favourite characters in Star Wars. As one of the 3 antagonists that represents as aspect of darth Vader he represents his sense of duty, but also how this can be redirected into evil. At no point does dooku think committing evil is right, but he believes his actions to be necessary.
It really makes me curious on what would be the occurring events if Obi-Wan became Dooku’s apprentice?
He would auto spam with the HIGH GROUND when facing the jedi order
Why would he have? Dooku's offer was suuuper weak he had done NOTHING to seduce Obi-Wan he literally just captured him and asked him.
@@Ainttrippin He did wanted to meet Obi-Wan at some point given to how Qui-Gonn spoke about him
I love the takes you have in Star Wars and how it can relate to real life. And not just ever making it entirely political, but how you can represent both sides of the isle. All of this time when there is so much hate or disagreement, we are all here to enjoy another galaxy, far far away, Star Wars
This was my first vid of his, and that was the only thing I didn't like it. There's too much info and critical analysis available to still be saying a fascist party that worships there leader, wants to mass deport, take away the rights of minorities and women, and only cares about the mega rich is equivalent to a party that pushes LGBT and representation too hard (not being ironic, they do it cause they also only care about rich ppl but choose this method to appeal to regularly ppl). Like at this point it's clown shit, and shows how little political or historical knowledge you have.
When I said you I don't mean you but the centrist TH-camrs that still do this shit.
"from a certain point of view"
😂
Dinosaur lawyer?! It's never too late to follow your dreams!
Could Dooku have been called on by Qui Gon for backup on Naboo? If Dooku had come with them on Naboo to help his apprentice, the duel with Maul would have been interesting.
It's probably the leftovers of my Anglophile phase, but Dooku is one of my favourite Star Wars characters after Plo Koon (aka Optimus Prime if he was a Jedi). I have been indoctrinated by popular culture to consider British accents as dignified, sue me 😂 The way that the role was shaped around Christopher Lee as much as he stepped into it also fascinates me, from a writing/creative process perspective; Dooku's dueling style was designed around Christopher Lee's physical capabilities as well as his fencing experience, to say nothing of his overall dignity and bearing.
Seriously, someone please respond to this to let me know they saw it (and then go read the fic), but the Star Wars/Worm (aka Parahumans, by Wildbow) crossover The Weaving Force is absolutely AMAZING for Dooku. It demonstrates, by way of a tiny butterfly effect resulting from the Worm characters appearing in the SW galaxy, Alan's point here that Dooku was neither a victim of circumstance nor evil by nature--the story gives him a different path by virtue of a tiny change, and by God is it stupendous because the emotional weight of this change doesn't even have a d--n thing to do with the crossed-over characters. It's entirely anchored in SW, meaning that it's so much more powerful for being something that could happen in canon without changing anything but Yoda's availability when Dooku tries to meet him.
P.S. Don't get me started how well it does Plo Koon either--actually, how it does all the characters. The Worm characters never supplant the SW for even a moment, they are always put in their proper scale, but their presence is a beautiful tool for poking and prodding SW and seeing what comes out.
I genuinely and wholeheartedly believe that Alan would/will love it. It's everything that I get the vibes of from this channel.
Count dooku was probably one of the coolest characters in starwars. Powerful, Rich, awesome fashion, broke free from jedi brainwashing, sith without looking like a scrotum, influential. And the swag that man had, you just know Dooku f**ked 😂
Murdering Master Yaddle was pretty wrong. After becoming a Sith he also has Ventress murder his sister, who was the only member of the family who ever loved him.
"It should be mentioned that Dooku took this path, not out of selfishness or for seeking power or even fear of his own safety, but a desire to protect innocent people."
As Bendu once said "The temptation of power, forbidden knowledge, even the desire to do good can lead some down that path. But only you can change yourself."
There goes a saying the road to evil is often paved with good intentions
Dooku's biggest mistake though was his final one....
*Dooku did have a way out at the end of his final duel.*
[Anakin cuts off Dooku's hands ending the battle. Anakin catches Dooku's lightsabre and ignites it and puts both lightsabres to his neck]
*Supreme Chancellor:* Good, Anakin, good. Kill him.
[Dooku looks at Palpatine in shock]
*Supreme Chancellor:* Kill him now.
*Count Dooku:* [speaking quickly] Palpatine is Darth Siddious, he wants to turn you to the dark side, I'm his Apprentice. He set this whole thing up.
*Anakin Skywalker:* What?
*Supreme Chancellor:* Dew it!
See how dangerous he is, his lies could tear the Republic apart.
[Anakin hesitates]
*Count Dooku:* Wake up Kenobi, I can't do anything [displays his stumps], leave Siddious restrained in his chair for the time being [Anakin looks confuse at the mention of Siddious], …Palpatine [Anakin realises who he meant].
If Palpatine breaks free you'll know he's a Sith Lord.
Secure all the lightsabers, including Kenobi's, so he can't summon one.… [Tired] And slap him awake.
Oh I need a medical droid.
*Supreme Chancellor:* We have to get off this ship, he's trying to trick you into staying put. I told you he was dangerous, even unarmed… he's _underhanded._
*Count Dooku:* There's a medikit over there, only place on this blasted droid ship that has one. Give Obi-Wan a stimulant to revive him, and a painkiller for me if you would be so kind.
[Anakin waves his robotic hand at Dooku]
Okay half a painkiller, cause this is double the hands.
[Obi-Wan groans and wakes up after Anakin injects him].
*Obi-Wan:* Did I miss something?
Why's the Chancellor still tied up up?
*Count Dooku:* General Kenobi, remember what I said on Geonosis, Palpatine is the Sith Lord I warned you about [Palpatines eyes go wide, he mutters "motherfukker" under his breathe - one expletive is allowed in a PG film and Mace Windu hasn't used it yet].
Be on guard and draw your saber [indicating Anakin's belt], he is more powerful than even Master Yoda.
*Chancellor Palpatine:* As I said, even his words are weapons.
*Count Dooku:* [to Kenobi's] He told Skywalker to kill me after I had surrendered and was helpless [holds up his stumps]. He wants to turn Skywalker to the dark side and make him his new Apprentice.
*Obi-Wan Kenobi:* Is that true Anakin?
*Anakin Skywalker:* It is my master, he told me to kill a unarmed prisoner.
[Obi-Wan's eyes go wide in realisation…Anakin's jaw drops as it finally penetrates his thick head that he's been played all this time].
*Count Dooku:* Finally… now can I please get some painkillers.
*Supreme Chancellor:* [Now speaking as Darth Siddious]
Dammit… so be it.
[Gestures and Dooku's saber, now holstered on Anakin's belt, flies forward. But Anakin is able to grab it in time, igniting it. Both he and Kenobi activate their own lightsabers. Darth Siddious's restraints fall away]
*Darth Siddious:* Treason is it? No, you all died, only I managed to survive. I suppose I'll just have to apologise to my old apprentice Maul.
Pity young Skywalker I had plans for you… such potential.
[Force lightning leaps from Siddious's fingers and sends Obi-Wan flying back to be knocked senseless against a bulkhead, _yet again._ Siddious then turns his attention to Anakin as he has charged forward, but Anakin is able to block the Force lightning with both blades crossed. Anakin is inching slightly forward, but also being affected by glancing shocks. It's a stalemate, will Anakin be able to press ahead to strike down Siddious? Will Darth Siddious be able to overcome Anakin Skywalker with his dark power of Force lightni… _blaster bolts hit him straight in the heart]._
*Obi-Wan Kenobi:* [throws the blaster away] Uh! So uncivilized.
Or even better like a year into clone wars "wtf am I doing? Why don't I just fight to win and actually storm coruscant and blast Palps to death from orbit?"
You go be that dinosaur lawyer, when I was younger I wanted to be an extraterrestrial pelentoligest
Aka dig up the bones of dinosaurs on other planets
You’d have to learn to spell it first. A for effort, though. 😉😏
Tales of the Jedi brought his character 100x over the shows and films.
At this point, it should be for the best that the Jedi Order removed itself from the Senate's jurisdiction and even leave Coruscant altogether for planets like Tython and/or Ossus. After all, the Jedi can benefited a lot by reviving the Wayseekers and allow them to travel around and do good things like they used to a few centuries ago.
Also, as a solution for the known galaxy or at least the territories under the Galactic Republic, will the millet system of the Ottoman Empire worked?
Bad guy = good guy who goes too far.
Standing beside Sidious....doesn't stab him in the back
I dont know about that, he didn't really keep his head on his shoulders.
Yeah, he be heading in the wrong direction
The only thing wrong Dooku did was joining with Sidious.
If you only see the movies, yeah Dooku looks pretty bad. But they really added a lot to his character and did much to flesh him out. He feels like 'the road to hell is paved with good intentions' personified.
To fight monsters , you become a monster *sigh
Excellent video. :) Count Dooku's saber is the only one I have.
In my headcanon, Dooku and Grievous overthrow Palpatine together after realizing his manipulations, and then Dooku leads the CIS into a fairly stable peace. Dooku wanted some legit reforms for everyone’s good. Without Palpatine spewing dark side poison into his ear, I really don’t think he’d be that bad of a leader
Mm, according to the RoTS novelization, Dooku was actually more racist than Palpatine, and the way he envisioned the Empire was substantially more extreme in its human centrism and more traditionally Sith than how Palpatine built the real thing.
@@chaotixthefox really? I actually didn't know that! Maybe he wouldn't be as good as I thought. I assumed he'd be authoritarian of course, but not racist.
@@Benzy670 I think that state is at the end of a long fall. Most likely the same releasing of scruples that allowed him to order terror attacks and torture opened the door to developing disdain for the aliens around him. The Outer Rim powers he gathered were already quite immoral in their operations and entirely composed of aliens. Sith teachings encourage the nurturing of hatred. He did not embrace them wholeheartedly, but he still followed them to the point of becoming downright brutal in his methods.
In Harry Potter, Harry sneaks into the restricted section to find information on Nicolas Flamel.
1) That is not where he finds Tom Riddle's diary
2) tom riddle's diary isn't even from the same book that Harry sneaks into the restricted section in
What the hell are you talking about?
Also, if Dooku can sneak into the part of the archives that only jedi masters can access, why didn't Anakin ever do that?
That’s why Anakin was angered by being denied becoming a master.
17:51 All those who seek power are doom to be corrupted by it. Even if they seek it for a higher purpose, sooner or later they'll meet those who disagree with that purpose, and eventually they use that power against those who stand opposed to them.
Never been this early before.
Always said Dooku did right…
He didnt
Yaddle would disagree
is this the "Magnus did nothing wrong" episode
Actually, Dooku did have a choice after he left the Jedi Order. He could've just fought to protect the Republic in his own way while not abandoning everything he was taught or even abandoning his principles.
Dooku is a tragic figure in spite of his poisonous moniker. It's unfortunate that he tried to fight corruption only to be corrupted himself. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" , comes to mind.
Jedi Order: "We ignore prophecies because they can lead to fear and turn people to the Dark Side."
Also Jedi Order: Sits around and does nothing while prophecies come to pass and terrible tragedies occur, pissing people off and turning them to the Dark Side
Also also Jedi Order: *Surprised Pikachu face*
"The path to hell is often paved with good intentions."
Honestly love doom is character in the clone wars it shows him a bit too dark at times overall he seems “evil” but believes in something genuinely good
From day one, I never truly saw Dooku as a full Sith. He could be ruthless, yes, but he never gave off the energy that he was a Sith in it for the power. I do believe that if Dooku had some how managed to take over in place of Darth Sideous, I think his Empire could have done far better. That all said, considering which side of the conflict Dooku was on, there was no chance for him to take power, and I do not think it was till closer to the end that Dooku realized his part in the galactic take over was very minor, and he was never meant to win, or live for that matter.
I noticed that when there is a Light Saber fight, almost everytime the Jedi strikes first! not the sith.
The trade federation taking control on Naboo on the orders of Darth Sidious was the Sith striking first.
@@DragoX7 That was never proven. It doesn't resemble Sidious methods. But it's possible. I was reffering to light sabers fights only.
Sometimes I wonder how things would go if Dooku never met Sidious or fell to the dark side but still became leader of the C.I.S on his own initiative with genuinely good intentions.
Yoda with hair, LOL. I'm not sorry... he really looks ridiculous.
You can still become a dinosaur lawyer if you represent the politicians in the US.
Half of those guys were around in the triassic period.
Please make a video on 200 FO Stormtroopers vs 200 Clone Troopers
7:28 - "A lawyer that represents dinosaurs." So, an attorney for fossil fuel policy? In an alternate universe, the EPA/DoE is lucky to have Allen on their side in court. But the call of Big Oil's money is strong indeed... Can he resist the temptation to join the dark side?
The entire video Im foused on the little dude chilling on the window.
18:08 Basically: “Don’t even try to fix things bigger than minor problems.” 😑
Dinosaur lawyer aka Big Oil lawyer
Love the video man!
Dooku 100% did something wrong. He chose the dark side, he killed many jedi, he helped prepare a galaxy splitting war. Sure we can say dookus fall may have been a path originally paved with good intentions and perhaps he wasnt as comically evil as sideous but in the end he opressed millions, killed millions, and enriched himself without making any attempt to make things right. Whatever things motivated him he definitely had a choice, he didnt have to believe sideous, he didnt have to support him or let darth maul kill Qui-gon, he could have prevented the clone wars and still pushed for galactic change in a meaningful way. (Heck if we include the clone wars tv show as canon then dooku did eventually turn to mustache twirling evil just for the sake of it.) Just because the republic pre clone wars had problems didnt change that his actions, sith philosophy, and the seperatist alliances actions all were far worse. We can understand how a villian became as they did but that dosent excuse them or just make them a product of circumstance.
I would argue that count dooku is the perfect example of how the road to hell is paved with good intentions. It doesn't matter how good your intentions are if results end up being worse for everyone.
"What are the jedi going to do if they take everything the Senate says as law."
He trusted a sith lord not to betray him.
The one thing I want to know is his first name. I mean if it's truly Count then no wonder he turned to the dark side. ETA hearing his dad's name guess his first name was Dooku. Man I feel dumb
Love the sock mic
One is not born evil, nor is one born a slave
Coruscant itself was a damning indictment of the Republic. Extreme opulence resting on top of unimaginable poverty. I understand why Dooku became disillusioned with the republic. Although, working with a Sith Lord was obviously a terrible idea.
Dooku is another SW character who was born in the wrong Galaxy. I have no doubt he would have thrived in the Federation, perhaps being a great ambassador, brokering peace with the Klingons n the Khitomer Accords, or representing the Federation during the Golden Age, perhaps catching a ride on the Enterprise D, having a nice cup of Earl Grey with Captain Picard. His idealism is almost a perfect match to the Federation's values of peaceful exploration, diversity, and prosperity for all. Losing the Force would be a small price to pay for living in such a better Galaxy.
Is there any way you can do a video on R2D2 and who it belongs to??? R2 has been in every movie I think- i would love to see something on that little astromech 😊
There is no defense for dooku. He was a fool
He wasn't you fool
Hey Dooku... let me tell you about the danger of force visions... have you ever heard the Tragedy of the Jedi Covenant and the Padawan Massacre.
I know it’s normal for children to think the world revolves around them and for them to think the failings of their parents is somehow their fault (too dumb, too ugly, too Force-sensitive). In order to reach their full potential as adults, they need to be able to understand that the shortcomings of their parents have nothing to do with them. Parents are beings with issues just like everyone else. If Dooku had been able to let go of his daddy trauma, maybe Sidious wouldn’t have been able to manipulate him so easily.
Hey GT, are you going to collab with Star Wars Theory anytime soon?
I kinda prefer the Canon Count Dooku as opposed to the Legends Count Dooku.
Coruscant looks foggy
19:45 Wise words that we could all learn from in this day and age. Let’s focus on our own backyards instead of obsessing over fake stories about immigrants eating cats and dogs
I really wonder what was Dooku's plan to root out corruption from a galactic government. What were his plans for the imperial transition ? Was he intending on winging it with Palpatine as a boss?
He was going to be captured by Anakin after killing Obi-Wan, Palpatine keeps his time in custody merciful, then he pretends to discover the atrocities the Separatists committed and disowns them. Casting himself as a victim he works his way up the new power structure and settles as Sidious' right hand, the position Vader occupied in the real timeline. Anakin would be directly under them as the general of a substantial legion of dark siders, as he didn't care for the Rule of Two and Sidious doesn't truly either. The Empire would heavily disenfranchise non-humans and enrich humans, as in, even more than what the actual Empire did.
This is what can be gleaned from the RoTS novelization.
I'm not sure if Palpatine was born evil. I suspect that he believed in looking out for himself was right and the feelings, wants and needs of other people don't matter. I am starting to believe that that mindset where a person is willing to sacrifice others in order to seek the things one wants may be a good definition of evil.
I draw the line at Soul Stealers
“Dooku did nothing wrong”
he killed yaddle 😢
Oh well, he thought he was doing the right thing, you know. Is not like he can be compared to Char from Gundam.
The small pebble will always cause a splash. If you can get more pebbles to join you, it becomes a wave. Everyone must start small and local if there is ever to be large change. Work on yourself before fixing the world.
Pretty much
you need ships in the sky behind you
He cared to much in a galaxy that cared to little

2) A traitor Sith Master, that originally intended Qui-gon Jinn's demise !
3) A knucklehead Order, that pretend to be visionaries, instead are succumbent to a misguided Republic !
4) A mentally diseased Republic that views crime as the easiest path to power ! Where even the weakest man can rebel with a blaster pistol !
5) The Galaxy" -a wretched hive of scum and villainy !
6) Even The Dark Side Of The Force must fight for some sense of stability in this galaxy !
7) Marshall Order is what is needed !
8) The Jedi Order" and then there is The Marshall Order !!
