The scene where Obi-wan is captive and Dooku praised Qui-Gon Jinn and said he missed him (paraphrasing) was taken as him trying to "sweet talk" Obi-wan by a lot of people, but the events in Tales of the Jedi show he truly loved and cared about Qui-Gon Jinn, which makes his fall to the dark side that much more tragic. This was great for fleshing out his character, indeed.
The Dooku stuff is so good but also infuriatingly frustrating because the majority of the Jedi have the same mindset as Windu and refuse to see what's right in front of them.
I need a Dooku was right coffee mug now.😎 I would be so down with a Dooku series during the 10 years before the Clone Wars. Or before Phantom Menace. Dooku was Yoda's Padawan. Great series.

I think ahsokas village would definitely know about Jedi because of Jedi master Shaak Ti who is the same species. Also young qui gonn was voiced by Liam Neesons son which I thought was neat. Dont usually comment but love your reactions. When it comes to star wars reactions yours and Louise Julie are the two channels I look forward to the most.
I mean, he had Sidious at the brink of death (Canon defeated Sidious, via George Lucas) and decided it was too dangerous. This is out of character for him for sure, but the only other person who could have stopped him at that point was Yoda, and unfortunately Sidious had an edge. He probably had that on his mind too; who else would have stopped him from taking control of the Senate and seizing complete power? Imagine if Sidious was in his prime at that point.....
I LOVE the notion that Ahsoka IS Jedi , not that she will become a Jedi, or she's one of the Jedi but rather she just IS Jedi. in my mind Ahsoka embodies everything that a Jedi should be and this episode completely represents that.
What I love about the first episode are the parallels between Native American tribes, their practices and philosophies, and how they evoke honor, respect, submission to, and even reverence for the natural world.
He followed the rules, was honest about the situation, and was willing to give as good a word towards Dooku as he could in that situation. Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi even defended Dooku. (Talking to Queen Amidala) Ki-Adi-Mundi: "He is a political Idealist, not a murderer." "Mace Windu: "You know M'lady, Count Dooku was once a jedi, he could not assassinate anyone. It's not in his character." Even when Dooku was questionable or horrid things, they defended him. Unfortunately, they were wrong about him (Very wrong just by watching the clone wars or reading the novelizations). Mace Windu is dogmatic, at times arrogant, but he follows the rules to a fault. He might rub you the wrong way, but he was not the villain. Windu never did anything as horrible as training a cybernetic assassin that killed countless Jedi, using entirely peaceful people as targets for a new weapon with no aggression from them, or enslaving the whole of a Togruta colony, who were pacifists and neutral. I see this line of thinking when in regards to Anakin too "If Mace accepted him, Anakin would not have....(insert here). Windu did not make him turn to the dark side, he did. Windu did not make him kill younglings, he did. Windu did not choke his wife almost to death in an explosion of rage when she was just trying to help him, endangering their children in the process, he did. Windu and Yoda were NOT perfect. But just because someone acts stern and almost like they are in a military force does not make them the worst person in the room. Dooku was far from the most evil person, but people have to accept the horrendous things he did.
No he didn’t… he just followed the rules to a fault. He didn’t ever once throw Dooku under the bus or admonish him or anything. You don’t have to like Windu, but you can at least get the facts right
@@treceydory9303 Mace Windu _may not_ have thrown Dooku under the bus, but he _did_ give that impression. Dooku certainly seemed to think so at the end of episode 3 of _Tales._ Oh, and Mace Windu definitely behaved like a jerk towards Ahsoka.
@@Indomitable The problem is that Windu and the council didn’t give Anakin the benefit of the doubt, they never gave him any trust just because he didn’t fit their mold of what a Jedi should be. Windu and the others should’ve been more open minded like Qui Gon was instead of just blindly following the rules and the corrupt senate all the time. Sometimes you need to trust your instincts, and do what your heart tells you. Plus what Windu said was utter hypocrisy, he and the Jedi were being too subservient to a corrupt senate, they were already too political to begin with. Why were the Jedi following the will of the senate instead of the will of the force like Qui Gon was? The Jedi are like robots blindly following orders. By following the senate they lost the trust of the people of the Republic.
Yeah Ahsokas species is called Togruta and i think the only time they are really shown are when they are sold as slaves in the Zygerian Slavers arc of TCW.
If you’ve seen the last episodes of Clone Wars, you’ll get the reference later on. And I never realized Dooku’s history. Now I understand where he was coming from.
dooku is a fantastic character, so much nuance and lee was perfect for it. lees real life was absolutley mental! you should check out some of the stuff he actually got upto lol
i feel that the arrogant adherence to their code, their rigidity was their downfall, the Jedi were too self assured to believe they could fail. Great reaction! looking forward to your thoughts on the next three. quick question what is your necklace? i see its a molecular shape but of what?
It's Caffeine! My life blood! LOL I didn't watch the trailer so I had no idea Rex was going to be in it. Look out for those tears. Episode 5 is my favorite, which of course is like a lost episode of Clone Wars
@@funnylilgalreacts lol relatable af caffeine is fuel. same 5 and 6 were absolutely my faves, Dave Filoni in 10 to 15 min episodes has the ability to not only add to the lore but to invoke so much nostalgia and love for this Universe.
Before Ahsoka, the only other Togruti shown was Shaak Ti. She appeared in "Attack of the Clones" and a deleted scene in "Revenge of the Sith." As Star Wars followers, it is easy to forget that most people don't follow all the details about background characters, planet names, etc, at least as much as with the first movies. If it had not been for the Kenner toys, most of us in the early days would not have known the names of bounty hunters, Ewoks, and others.
Its always awesome to see your reactions to Star Wars content. After watching Tales of the Jedi, I kept saying to myself " I can't wait to see your reactions" thank you for everything you do!
20:29 Yes, the Jedi are called, they don't kidnap children like some people think. There's a really good story about Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon where they're summoned by a child parent's to secretly take their child w/o letting the Brother Eye style government know.
i once met the late cristopher lee a couple years before he passed, he took one look at me and said "you know, this is the first time i have ever felt properly short, so i have to say, well done young man" (im 7'7" lee was 6'5") he also said "if only i had met you sooner, i would have loved to have recommended you for a role in star wars, it would have been most interesting to see a giant sith who could actually carry an imposing figure that does not need a lightsaber to look menacing" (i do casual strongman so am a big chunky tank of a man, but by the time i met cristopher lee, i was wheelchair bound due to poor health, i stood up when lee asked me how tall i was, it took 6 more years before i was back on my feet by that time lee had passed)
#Funnylilgalreacts ... I think of the Jedi Recruits like having a child that has Genius level in Math or Logic, it just get the attention of Parents, Teachers and Leaders; so it would be curious to have them tested and an honor if they were selected to be Trained, Coached and able to Study with these other Geniuses that are part of the Jedi Order....
Loving that despite the short lengths of these they are able to tell so much about not only these characters but also about the cracks already forming in both the republic and the Jedi order itself, adding so much to what we see in The Clone Wars and even the prequel trilogy.
Stockholm syndrome or empathy? The age old question 😅 This show is so wonderful. I love how the 2nd & 3rd episodes show Dooku's good side (or grey side) & why he turned to the dark side. Dooku was right about everything...until he wasn't. Love how you forgot about Dooku being Jin's master. The emotion you felt hit me as well. Best reaction I've seen to that episode. Are you still reacting to Andor? Is it Patreon only? Or is the show not your cup of tea? I've looked in the community posts & seen no mention of this. Edit: Those thumbnails bother me as well. I always use my peripheral vision when selecting what to watch lol. I like to go in blind as possible. Thanks for the reaction
If you’re interested in more backstory and a lore as a whole, check out Blind Wave’s star wars reactions. The amount of star wars knowledge those guys have, and off the top of their heads at that, is insane. Most of what I know when it comes to the star wars universe is because of those guys. They even have a podcast talking about nothing but star wars, mainly focusing on the books.
OH YES, finally you got started on these. I'm so happy now (to be honest, I'm happy everytime you react to something I also watch). Great reactions, to them all. I loved your reaction to 1x1, Everytime you react to Ahsoka, it's a win 👍 I'm over the moon for your reaction to 1x2, when you hear Dooku say "Qui-Gon Jinn", and your whole face just twitched.... That was my favorite part of this video (I might have to rewind and watch that again). As for 1x3, I'm not really a Mace Windu fan either (except his lightsaber), But seeing him interact with Dooku was interesting. I'll be looking forward to seeing you react to the last 3 of them.😀😀 P.S. Do a reaction video to Guardians of the Galaxy holiday special trailer.... It's AMAZING P.P.S. you have a tattoo of Obi-Wan??? have you shown that in a video somewhere and I missed it??? If not, you can say something like that and not show it (unless it's in a place that's not for public showing of course)
@@funnylilgalreacts - You are KIDDING!!!! When I get the money gathered up, I was planning to make a Rex-suit. I already spoken to a couple of my friends in the 501st Danish Garrison about it.... I guess we have ❤ for the same Star Wars characters (it was either Rex or Darth Vader.... And Vader is a little much to go for as a first costume I think).
Make sure you have plenty of tissues for episode 4. In Life and Death we learned a lot about the culture of the Togrutans and how fast they teach their children, remember it was custom for Ahsoka as a 1 year old baby to go hunting with her mom, this also explains why Ahsoka was so fearless. Ahsoka spent her first 3 years with her people before Plo Koon discovered her and brought her to the Temple. Ahsoka's mom was a bad ass fighter and she definitely passed that gene down to Ahsoka. My theory is that Ahsoka is the will of the force since neither of her parents were force sensitive.
The Light Jedi and Dark Jedi can sense the force in sentient species, and the Light Jedi and Dark Jedi (Before the Sith rule of two) would be able to track them through the force and whoever found the force sensitive child first whether the Light or Dark Jedi would train them in their ways, and I don’t believe that it is canon anymore though Palpatine and Vader would use the force to help them find the remaining Light Jedi so that they could kill them, Luke eventually uses the force to find force sensitive children after the initial fall of the Empire and canonically it’s during this time that he discovered that Ben Solo is force sensitive along with other children.
These episodes aren't in chronological order. Episode 2 takes place a minimum of 31 years before episode 1. Episode 2 takes place 8 years before episode 1.
This is part of what makes Count Dooku's fall to the dark side so meaningful. The 2nd and 3rd episode show Dooku witness corruption, and how the Jedi became too wrapped up in the Senate and forgot about the people. At this point, Dooku is completely right in terms of taking care of the people vs the Senate. Mace Windu is just spouting out Jedi dogma. Mace is by the book, and almost behaving like a clone. Mace is powerful, but so strict on rules that he missed the point that Dooku was trying to convey. The Jedi are basically allowing the corruption to continue by not getting involved... and much later, Qui-gon would confirm that by stating that he had not actually come to free the slaves on Tatooine, which was the Jedi policy to support the Republic Senate. Padme seemed more concerned about Anakin being a slave than Qui-gon or Obiwan were... though she may have just been unfamiliar with how Outer Rim systems worked outside the Republic.
Windu has always been a complete tool. He's the ultimate Jedi hypocrite in that he was all about protocol and following the strict rules...until he decided Papaltine had to die. Windu kinda reaped what he showed with Anakin. Dooku called himself a Sith Lord, but was really a Dark Jedi- his eyes never changed to that odd Sith look.
I like that the fact this show doesn’t tell anything new but it fills in the gaps of the characters not just Ahsoka and Dooku but other characters like Mace and Qui-Gon. Ahsoka’s baby days were cute more importantly even as a newborn Ahsoka had the same traits that she would go to have later in her life (if you saw clone wars you’ll know) and she shows that all with the tiger creature. Dooku’s story mostly intrigued me because despite what we know of him in clone wars and in the movies he was once a good man who wanted to do good things for people he saw corruption in the Senate and as Jedi who are supposed to be peacekeepers slowly became more of the Republic’s enforcers less serving the will of the force more serving of the orders of politicians. It was evident with his mission with Mace he started calling him his friend but after the mission all the death and in the end Mace got a promotion. The way he address him as ‘Master Jedi’ instead of ‘friend’ was telling he no longer trusted Mace for being part of a council that took its orders from politicians. The irony really is how Mace said they do not take orders from politicians or ego and yet the Jedi became so political that they became generals fighting a war for the Republic and became too arrogant to see who masterminded the war in the beginning. Dooku’s time with Qui-Gon was also telling the fact Dooku was going to murder the Senator in cold blood and was stopped only when Qui-Gon found a peaceful solution. And for Dooku to tell Qui-Gon how he not only saved lives but that Qui-Gon was wiser than him for using a non-violent way says a lot Dooku is known to be a proud arrogant man to say his student had more wisdom than him shows he was a good man.
The first dooku tale mustve been before Ahsoka's birth, so i dont think these are entirely in chronological order. I mean i'm pretty sure Ahsoka was 14 at the start of CW, which makes her birth dated at 4 years before TPM. Qui gon Jinn does look much more than 4 years younger than his TPM version, and hasn't even begun training Obi Wan at that point.
I don’t know if it’s ever actually been outright said in the franchise but Ahsoka being Togruta has been known from the beginning since her species has been in other star wars material. Mainly the Jedi Council member Shaak Ti. If they haven’t said it in the Clone Wars, which would have been an easily forgettable word, and you don’t read into character backgrounds, you most likely wouldn’t know her species.
Dooku needed the beard. It's questionable how voluntarily parents give their children up to the Jedi, but once taken by the Jedi, the children never see their families again. You may not be following the current Star Wars: Andor series, but as you noticed with Dooku, recent Star Wars writers are taking a note from The Expanse and creating characters that are multi-faceted. The people on the wrong side aren't always bad guys, and the underdogs aren't always good guys. Andor, btw, approaches The Expanse in excellent mature writing.
I'm struggling with Andor. It's boring in a lot of spots and isn't the best for reactions. I'm hoping to do a trilogy release so I get the full picture of each segment.
@@funnylilgalreacts As many have said, they should have continued to release it weekly as three-episode arcs. Another fan has suggested that it should not have been titled "Andor" but should have been titled Star Wars: Reckoning. Thinking about that, I agree that merely changing the title and nothing else would emphasize the benefit of the broad character building it's doing to show how disparate rebel factions eventually become the Rebel Alliance under Mon Mothma.
Dude as much as I don’t like Dooku, I 100% agreed with them in episodes 2 and 3. Dooku’s intentions were always good, but his tactics were insane. He turned away from the Jedi because of the corruption he kept seeing and the Jedi Council’s inaction to stop it. Sidious convinced him the best way to get rid of the corruption was to join him. Little fun fact, Liam Neeson’s son voices young Qui-Gon.
i was waiting to see you reacting to this amazing and a little nostalgic show :) 13:56 Liam Neeson’s son is even voicing him :) Dave Filoni and Kevin Kiner completely nailed it, as always🙏 especially the music in the 2nd and 4th episode And btw happy for you and your 30k sub :)
I'm so glad there is someone out there thats not a fan of Windu....the whole Jedi council drown in their own hubris and inactivity..... even Yoda bless him has multiple times to intercede on Anakins behalf, wise and powerful with the force and yet he couldn't see a young boy / man crying out for help??
I'll post this here again. "Windu followed the rules, was honest about the situation, and was willing to give as good a word towards Dooku as he could in that situation. Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi even defended Dooku. (Talking to Queen Amidala) Ki-Adi-Mundi: "He is a political Idealist, not a murderer."

But just because someone acts stern and almost like they are in a military force does not make them the worst person in the room. Dooku was far from the most evil person, but people have to accept the horrendous things he did." Let's be honest, I think most people would enjoy the personality of Dooku as opposed to dogmatic, follow the rules Windu. He was almost an ideal Jedi, and he made it as far in the ranks as he did with his skill and devotion to the Jedi order, as misguided as they were. Dooku made some horrible choices and went far and beyond being just "an annoying person who is a stickler for rules." I don't see a world where that is worse than what Dooku did, but admittedly, I probably would not want to hang out with Windu outside of work/missions. I'd put up with him to be trained by him, but he does not have a good track record of apprentices staying on the Light side of the force (In Legends, which is no longer canon unless they take inspiration from it). Mace was one of the few people who could stay devoted to the light and use Form VII (Vaapad). He learned that the hard way, along with said apprentices. Also fun note, Mace trained Depa Billaba, who became the master of Kanan Jarrus, who was Master of Ezra Bridger. Kind of an important turn of events there.
@@battleangelfan7067 Tales give us many reasons why Dooku loses faith in the Jedi. But they don't tell us why he decided to join forces with a Sith Lord. How did he expect to change things for the better by serving evil?
@@Indomitable Mace Windu's inability to think outside the box, led him to serious errors of judgement. He wasn't alone in this amongst the Jedi, however he too played a major part in the Order's downfall. IMHO, he was simply a great soldier who got promoted far beyond his true capacity. Plus, he sometimes came out as if he actually enjoyed being a jerk or worse, especially towards Ahsoka.
Yeah… the Jedi aren’t exactly great about how they go about retrieving force sensitive children. Basically they take them from their families as soon as they are discovered with little to no choice given to them. Hell they almost didn’t let Anakin join because he was too old. Under the guise of goodness the Jedi order does a lot of shady stuff.
Oh God! I wish that Ahsoka's parents where here in clone Wars especially after escape from Kadavo in clone Wars season four and especially Rebels and Original Trilogy where Ahsoka's father being protective father while he accused for nothing Darth Vader to almost killed his daughter 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
As u are talking a bit about spoiling thumbnails, I wanted to point out that I actually unsubscribed to u during the release of She-Hulk because of that. I never saw a trailer to She-Hulk so there were some thumbnails that did spoil me in a way therefore my way of "deactivating" spoiling thumbnails was the unsubscribe button. (I'm now subscribed again ^^)
Personally speaking, I think the reason Mace Windu rubs me the wrong way is that he kind of embodies the arrogance of the Jedi. By the time of the prequel movies, it seems like the Jedi Order has become mired in its own self importance and self righteousness. They've become so focused on their presence in the overall galactic order, that they fail to see the small but numerous injustices that are "beneath their notice".
Mace Windu is consistently an a__hole. He is the embodiment of everything wrong with the Jedi Order. He makes Lumina Unduli look compassionate by comparison. And she's cold as ice.
After the series has ended. That way I can figure out how to do my reactions so there worthwhile. Episode 4 was incredibly boring and my reaction was pretty dismal. I can’t put that up.
"do they have any concept of the Jedi?" Yes. Think of Gantika as the village elder, and she may know OF the Jedi but not fully ABOUT the Jedi. Going back to the Native American thought line... Gantika may have only one explanation of the events... and uses the word "jedi" quite loosely.
Ahh! I've got so many shows to catch up on so I can watch your reactions! Not to be one of 'those guys' but a show that I've been seeing making the rounds on a lot of reaction channels is Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, so I figured I might put that on your radar. Personally loved the show and would be excited to see your take on it

By following the senate they lost the trust of the people of the Republic.
Yeah Ahsokas species is called Togruta and i think the only time they are really shown are when they are sold as slaves in the Zygerian Slavers arc of TCW.
You might want to check out the Dracula films produced by Hammer Films for some of that young Christopher Lee goodness.
0:45 That's good. Ahsoka really is amazing.
Once again Dave Filoni does his magic
If you’ve seen the last episodes of Clone Wars, you’ll get the reference later on.
And I never realized Dooku’s history. Now I understand where he was coming from.
dooku is a fantastic character, so much nuance and lee was perfect for it. lees real life was absolutley mental! you should check out some of the stuff he actually got upto lol
What an absolute treat , Im going to watch this now while I'm on Night Shift 👍
What a visually stunning series!
fun fact: the voice actor for young Qui=Gonn Jin is Liam Neeson's son Micheal Richardson.
Wow I got emotional when Quigon clicked for you.
i feel that the arrogant adherence to their code, their rigidity was their downfall, the Jedi were too self assured to believe they could fail. Great reaction! looking forward to your thoughts on the next three. quick question what is your necklace? i see its a molecular shape but of what?
It's Caffeine! My life blood! LOL
I didn't watch the trailer so I had no idea Rex was going to be in it. Look out for those tears. Episode 5 is my favorite, which of course is like a lost episode of Clone Wars
@@funnylilgalreacts lol relatable af caffeine is fuel.
same 5 and 6 were absolutely my faves, Dave Filoni in 10 to 15 min episodes has the ability to not only add to the lore but to invoke so much nostalgia and love for this Universe.
shaak ti was togruta they are one of the races that excel in the force do to the extrasensory they get from their montrals(horn line lekku things).
Before Ahsoka, the only other Togruti shown was Shaak Ti. She appeared in "Attack of the Clones" and a deleted scene in "Revenge of the Sith." As Star Wars followers, it is easy to forget that most people don't follow all the details about background characters, planet names, etc, at least as much as with the first movies. If it had not been for the Kenner toys, most of us in the early days would not have known the names of bounty hunters, Ewoks, and others.
This series really made me fall in love with Dooku. Rewatching the prequels will never be the same. in a good way
This was the character building those prequels needed!
In the galactic history the Jedi had existed for 25 000 years. They're 10 000 years older than the Republic itself.
Incredible show.
"do we know her (Ahsoka's) species?" Yes milady.... she's Togruta. From a world called Shili.
Obi-Wan left cheek, Ahsoka right cheek. The fun cheeks that is.
Dave Filoni,is a Genius he us from Pittsburgh Pa.Where my daughter and I Live ,We Loved all 6 of these animation amazing.
Its always awesome to see your reactions to Star Wars content. After watching Tales of the Jedi, I kept saying to myself " I can't wait to see your reactions" thank you for everything you do!
20:29 Yes, the Jedi are called, they don't kidnap children like some people think. There's a really good story about Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon where they're summoned by a child parent's to secretly take their child w/o letting the Brother Eye style government know.
For those of you who don’t know the actor who played dooku played Zeus and the actor who played windu played kratos in god of war 2 and 3
Count Dooku sounds like Alan Rickman.
I wanted to say it but “Hans Gruber” was on the top of my tongue and I couldn’t get Alan Rickman out 😂
Really enjoyed your review!!!
The podcasters Jaig Eyes and Jedi, refer to Mace as Wet Blanket Windu.
😂😂 yes! Total killjoy.
i once met the late cristopher lee a couple years before he passed, he took one look at me and said "you know, this is the first time i have ever felt properly short, so i have to say, well done young man" (im 7'7" lee was 6'5") he also said "if only i had met you sooner, i would have loved to have recommended you for a role in star wars, it would have been most interesting to see a giant sith who could actually carry an imposing figure that does not need a lightsaber to look menacing" (i do casual strongman so am a big chunky tank of a man, but by the time i met cristopher lee, i was wheelchair bound due to poor health, i stood up when lee asked me how tall i was, it took 6 more years before i was back on my feet by that time lee had passed)
#Funnylilgalreacts ... I think of the Jedi Recruits like having a child that has Genius level in Math or Logic, it just get the attention of Parents, Teachers and Leaders; so it would be curious to have them tested and an honor if they were selected to be Trained, Coached and able to Study with these other Geniuses that are part of the Jedi Order....
Loving that despite the short lengths of these they are able to tell so much about not only these characters but also about the cracks already forming in both the republic and the Jedi order itself, adding so much to what we see in The Clone Wars and even the prequel trilogy.
I love that yes Mace windu isn't a very nice person and very much a stick in the mud, but still so consistent throughout all of the prequels
I was genuinely surprised you didn't get the apprentice was Qui-Jon ... I thought to myself I bet funnylilgalreacts gets it....
Nice to see you reacting to these. Will you be going back to Andor at all?
I didn't know Rey was that into Tales of the Jedi. 😁
I don't think they're in chronological order, could be wrong, but I think Episode 1 being where it is may be more thematic than temporally accurate.
but I love how this series gives Count Dooku depth, like he's right to be angry, his fury is just
Stockholm syndrome or empathy? The age old question 😅
This show is so wonderful. I love how the 2nd & 3rd episodes show Dooku's good side (or grey side) & why he turned to the dark side. Dooku was right about everything...until he wasn't.
Love how you forgot about Dooku being Jin's master. The emotion you felt hit me as well. Best reaction I've seen to that episode.
Are you still reacting to Andor? Is it Patreon only? Or is the show not your cup of tea? I've looked in the community posts & seen no mention of this.
Edit: Those thumbnails bother me as well. I always use my peripheral vision when selecting what to watch lol. I like to go in blind as possible.
Thanks for the reaction
Qui-Gon is 20 years older than Mace Windu so it would be weird if he was his Padawan.
If you’re interested in more backstory and a lore as a whole, check out Blind Wave’s star wars reactions. The amount of star wars knowledge those guys have, and off the top of their heads at that, is insane. Most of what I know when it comes to the star wars universe is because of those guys. They even have a podcast talking about nothing but star wars, mainly focusing on the books.
OH YES, finally you got started on these. I'm so happy now (to be honest, I'm happy everytime you react to something I also watch). Great reactions, to them all.
I loved your reaction to 1x1, Everytime you react to Ahsoka, it's a win 👍
I'm over the moon for your reaction to 1x2, when you hear Dooku say "Qui-Gon Jinn", and your whole face just twitched.... That was my favorite part of this video (I might have to rewind and watch that again).
As for 1x3, I'm not really a Mace Windu fan either (except his lightsaber), But seeing him interact with Dooku was interesting.
I'll be looking forward to seeing you react to the last 3 of them.😀😀
P.S. Do a reaction video to Guardians of the Galaxy holiday special trailer.... It's AMAZING
P.P.S. you have a tattoo of Obi-Wan??? have you shown that in a video somewhere and I missed it??? If not, you can say something like that and not show it (unless it's in a place that's not for public showing of course)
😉th-cam.com/video/S9zlw56zquY/w-d-xo.html
Ahsoka has my heart. And Rex. So be ready for episode 5, I didn’t know I’d see him. Or that ending.
@@funnylilgalreacts - You are KIDDING!!!! When I get the money gathered up, I was planning to make a Rex-suit. I already spoken to a couple of my friends in the 501st Danish Garrison about it.... I guess we have ❤ for the same Star Wars characters (it was either Rex or Darth Vader.... And Vader is a little much to go for as a first costume I think).
Make sure you have plenty of tissues for episode 4. In Life and Death we learned a lot about the culture of the Togrutans and how fast they teach their children, remember it was custom for Ahsoka as a 1 year old baby to go hunting with her mom, this also explains why Ahsoka was so fearless. Ahsoka spent her first 3 years with her people before Plo Koon discovered her and brought her to the Temple. Ahsoka's mom was a bad ass fighter and she definitely passed that gene down to Ahsoka. My theory is that Ahsoka is the will of the force since neither of her parents were force sensitive.
I was waiting for this!
The Light Jedi and Dark Jedi can sense the force in sentient species, and the Light Jedi and Dark Jedi (Before the Sith rule of two) would be able to track them through the force and whoever found the force sensitive child first whether the Light or Dark Jedi would train them in their ways, and I don’t believe that it is canon anymore though Palpatine and Vader would use the force to help them find the remaining Light Jedi so that they could kill them, Luke eventually uses the force to find force sensitive children after the initial fall of the Empire and canonically it’s during this time that he discovered that Ben Solo is force sensitive along with other children.
Thanks for this! 📜 #FunnyLilGalReacts #StarWars #TalesOfTheJedi #DisneyPlus
Togruti is the language. Togruta is the species. Ahsoka is a Togruta, same as Master Shaak Ti.
These episodes aren't in chronological order. Episode 2 takes place a minimum of 31 years before episode 1. Episode 2 takes place 8 years before episode 1.
This is part of what makes Count Dooku's fall to the dark side so meaningful. The 2nd and 3rd episode show Dooku witness corruption, and how the Jedi became too wrapped up in the Senate and forgot about the people. At this point, Dooku is completely right in terms of taking care of the people vs the Senate. Mace Windu is just spouting out Jedi dogma. Mace is by the book, and almost behaving like a clone. Mace is powerful, but so strict on rules that he missed the point that Dooku was trying to convey. The Jedi are basically allowing the corruption to continue by not getting involved... and much later, Qui-gon would confirm that by stating that he had not actually come to free the slaves on Tatooine, which was the Jedi policy to support the Republic Senate. Padme seemed more concerned about Anakin being a slave than Qui-gon or Obiwan were... though she may have just been unfamiliar with how Outer Rim systems worked outside the Republic.
Windu has always been a complete tool.
He's the ultimate Jedi hypocrite in that he was all about protocol and following the strict rules...until he decided Papaltine had to die.
Windu kinda reaped what he showed with Anakin.
Dooku called himself a Sith Lord, but was really a Dark Jedi- his eyes never changed to that odd Sith look.
I like that the fact this show doesn’t tell anything new but it fills in the gaps of the characters not just Ahsoka and Dooku but other characters like Mace and Qui-Gon.
Ahsoka’s baby days were cute more importantly even as a newborn Ahsoka had the same traits that she would go to have later in her life (if you saw clone wars you’ll know) and she shows that all with the tiger creature.
Dooku’s story mostly intrigued me because despite what we know of him in clone wars and in the movies he was once a good man who wanted to do good things for people he saw corruption in the Senate and as Jedi who are supposed to be peacekeepers slowly became more of the Republic’s enforcers less serving the will of the force more serving of the orders of politicians. It was evident with his mission with Mace he started calling him his friend but after the mission all the death and in the end Mace got a promotion. The way he address him as ‘Master Jedi’ instead of ‘friend’ was telling he no longer trusted Mace for being part of a council that took its orders from politicians. The irony really is how Mace said they do not take orders from politicians or ego and yet the Jedi became so political that they became generals fighting a war for the Republic and became too arrogant to see who masterminded the war in the beginning.
Dooku’s time with Qui-Gon was also telling the fact Dooku was going to murder the Senator in cold blood and was stopped only when Qui-Gon found a peaceful solution. And for Dooku to tell Qui-Gon how he not only saved lives but that Qui-Gon was wiser than him for using a non-violent way says a lot Dooku is known to be a proud arrogant man to say his student had more wisdom than him shows he was a good man.
Ashoka’s species is Togruta.
The first dooku tale mustve been before Ahsoka's birth, so i dont think these are entirely in chronological order. I mean i'm pretty sure Ahsoka was 14 at the start of CW, which makes her birth dated at 4 years before TPM. Qui gon Jinn does look much more than 4 years younger than his TPM version, and hasn't even begun training Obi Wan at that point.
Team Dooku I presume?? I'm still with Jar Jar and Masterin' Mace!!!!! 😜
Well, not really Jar Jar... 😉😇
I don’t know if it’s ever actually been outright said in the franchise but Ahsoka being Togruta has been known from the beginning since her species has been in other star wars material. Mainly the Jedi Council member Shaak Ti. If they haven’t said it in the Clone Wars, which would have been an easily forgettable word, and you don’t read into character backgrounds, you most likely wouldn’t know her species.
i found you a day or so ago and im hooked lol. been binging your channel since. of course being pretty as hell doesnt hurt lol
Nothing better than this and clone wars.
@@joegreene7619 But falls short of Rebels, which will always be the gold standard of Star Wars shows.
Dooku needed the beard.
It's questionable how voluntarily parents give their children up to the Jedi, but once taken by the Jedi, the children never see their families again.
You may not be following the current Star Wars: Andor series, but as you noticed with Dooku, recent Star Wars writers are taking a note from The Expanse and creating characters that are multi-faceted. The people on the wrong side aren't always bad guys, and the underdogs aren't always good guys. Andor, btw, approaches The Expanse in excellent mature writing.
I'm struggling with Andor. It's boring in a lot of spots and isn't the best for reactions. I'm hoping to do a trilogy release so I get the full picture of each segment.
@@funnylilgalreacts As many have said, they should have continued to release it weekly as three-episode arcs.
Another fan has suggested that it should not have been titled "Andor" but should have been titled Star Wars: Reckoning. Thinking about that, I agree that merely changing the title and nothing else would emphasize the benefit of the broad character building it's doing to show how disparate rebel factions eventually become the Rebel Alliance under Mon Mothma.
Her species if Torgrutan same species as Jedi Master Shaak Ti.
Dude as much as I don’t like Dooku, I 100% agreed with them in episodes 2 and 3. Dooku’s intentions were always good, but his tactics were insane. He turned away from the Jedi because of the corruption he kept seeing and the Jedi Council’s inaction to stop it. Sidious convinced him the best way to get rid of the corruption was to join him.
Little fun fact, Liam Neeson’s son voices young Qui-Gon.
Another Filoni's master piece in deed. I loved your reaction though...NICE!
i was waiting to see you reacting to this amazing and a little nostalgic show :)
13:56 Liam Neeson’s son is even voicing him :)
Dave Filoni and Kevin Kiner completely nailed it, as always🙏 especially the music in the 2nd and 4th episode
And btw happy for you and your 30k sub :)
I'm so glad there is someone out there thats not a fan of Windu....the whole Jedi council drown in their own hubris and inactivity..... even Yoda bless him has multiple times to intercede on Anakins behalf, wise and powerful with the force and yet he couldn't see a young boy / man crying out for help??
I grew up a Windu fan, after watching this I'm more on Dooku's side.
I'll post this here again. "Windu followed the rules, was honest about the situation, and was willing to give as good a word towards Dooku as he could in that situation. Windu and Ki-Adi-Mundi even defended Dooku.
(Talking to Queen Amidala) Ki-Adi-Mundi: "He is a political Idealist, not a murderer." "Mace Windu: "You know M'lady, Count Dooku was once a jedi, he could not assassinate anyone. It's not in his character.
Even when Dooku was questionable or horrid things, they defended him. Unfortunately, they were wrong about him. Mace Windu is dogmatic, at times arrogant, but he follows the rules to a fault. He might rub you the wrong way, but he was not the villain. Windu never did anything as horrible as training a cybernetic assassin that killed countless Jedi, using entirely peaceful people as targets for a new weapon with no aggression from them, or enslaving the whole of a Togruta colony, who were pacifists and neutral.
I see this line of thinking when in regards to Anakin too "If Mace accepted him, Anakin would not have....(insert here). Windu did not make him turn to the dark side, he did. Windu did not make him kill younglings, he did. Windu did not choke his wife almost to death in an explosion of rage when she was just trying to help him, endangering their children in the process, he did.
Windu and Yoda were NOT perfect. But just because someone acts stern and almost like they are in a military force does not make them the worst person in the room. Dooku was far from the most evil person, but people have to accept the horrendous things he did."
Let's be honest, I think most people would enjoy the personality of Dooku as opposed to dogmatic, follow the rules Windu. He was almost an ideal Jedi, and he made it as far in the ranks as he did with his skill and devotion to the Jedi order, as misguided as they were. Dooku made some horrible choices and went far and beyond being just "an annoying person who is a stickler for rules." I don't see a world where that is worse than what Dooku did, but admittedly, I probably would not want to hang out with Windu outside of work/missions. I'd put up with him to be trained by him, but he does not have a good track record of apprentices staying on the Light side of the force (In Legends, which is no longer canon unless they take inspiration from it). Mace was one of the few people who could stay devoted to the light and use Form VII (Vaapad). He learned that the hard way, along with said apprentices.
Also fun note, Mace trained Depa Billaba, who became the master of Kanan Jarrus, who was Master of Ezra Bridger. Kind of an important turn of events there.
How could anyone like Windu? Is it just the purple lightsabre?
@@battleangelfan7067 Tales give us many reasons why Dooku loses faith in the Jedi.
But they don't tell us why he decided to join forces with a Sith Lord.
How did he expect to change things for the better by serving evil?
@@Indomitable Mace Windu's inability to think outside the box, led him to serious errors of judgement.
He wasn't alone in this amongst the Jedi, however he too played a major part in the Order's downfall.
IMHO, he was simply a great soldier who got promoted far beyond his true capacity.
Plus, he sometimes came out as if he actually enjoyed being a jerk or worse, especially towards Ahsoka.
Yeah… the Jedi aren’t exactly great about how they go about retrieving force sensitive children. Basically they take them from their families as soon as they are discovered with little to no choice given to them. Hell they almost didn’t let Anakin join because he was too old. Under the guise of goodness the Jedi order does a lot of shady stuff.
Oh God! I wish that Ahsoka's parents where here in clone Wars especially after escape from Kadavo in clone Wars season four and especially Rebels and Original Trilogy where Ahsoka's father being protective father while he accused for nothing Darth Vader to almost killed his daughter 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
❤
❤️
wait so did you watch the clone wars ad not upload it:(
You should watch the swtor cinematic trailers :)
As u are talking a bit about spoiling thumbnails, I wanted to point out that I actually unsubscribed to u during the release of She-Hulk because of that.
I never saw a trailer to She-Hulk so there were some thumbnails that did spoil me in a way therefore my way of "deactivating" spoiling thumbnails was the unsubscribe button.
(I'm now subscribed again ^^)
Is that Mara Jade on your wall??
Natasha Romanof 😉
@@funnylilgalreacts oh! My mistake, it's awesome though. Keep up the great content 🙂
Personally speaking, I think the reason Mace Windu rubs me the wrong way is that he kind of embodies the arrogance of the Jedi. By the time of the prequel movies, it seems like the Jedi Order has become mired in its own self importance and self righteousness. They've become so focused on their presence in the overall galactic order, that they fail to see the small but numerous injustices that are "beneath their notice".
Mace Windu is consistently an a__hole. He is the embodiment of everything wrong with the Jedi Order. He makes Lumina Unduli look compassionate by comparison. And she's cold as ice.
When are you jumping back into Andor?
After the series has ended. That way I can figure out how to do my reactions so there worthwhile. Episode 4 was incredibly boring and my reaction was pretty dismal. I can’t put that up.
100% watch the clone wars over it’s such an amazing show a lot of filler episodes but builds the characters so much
Are you no longer reacting to Andor series?
Young Qui-Gons voice Liam Nielsens son true....
Where you surprised his apprentice is Qui-Gon
Not surprised, but I forgot. The realization that that was Qui-Gon us a goof on my part, but I’m glad I forgot. Meant more to me that way.
@@funnylilgalreacts You are right .This was so well done,we need a season 2
Ahsoka’s a Jedi?
"do they have any concept of the Jedi?" Yes. Think of Gantika as the village elder, and she may know OF the Jedi but not fully ABOUT the Jedi. Going back to the Native American thought line... Gantika may have only one explanation of the events... and uses the word "jedi" quite loosely.
Ahh! I've got so many shows to catch up on so I can watch your reactions!
Not to be one of 'those guys' but a show that I've been seeing making the rounds on a lot of reaction channels is Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, so I figured I might put that on your radar. Personally loved the show and would be excited to see your take on it
Great, now you are a sith
