      if framed differently, many autocracies are a response to a failed organisation of society within the democracy that proceeds it...the results are often evil still - dooku is a more realistic character than sidious..someone thinking he is doing right by the people but ultimately corrupted on the way of achieving the result

    From a certain point of view Dooku made a an enormous personal sacrifice to do what he thought was right. He joined the Sith, started a war, and killed many people to point out the flaws of the Jedi and the Republic so something better could take their place.

      But still, although simply putting it down to bad TCW series writing, as a cynical means to move the necessary characters around in 2013 ish to make the Maul comeback possible, is tempting, it should show how strong Dooku really was. Palpatine was not totally safe from him.

This despite Ventress not only starting from virtually nothing, but also being denied access to most Sith secrets and knowledge to boot.

      Dooku is a reason you fight. A true consequences of your fight, and what you think they would be.
      Emperor is a false friend. The one that says to be your ally only to end up using you because he is too weak to acomplish his goals
      Vader is a fallen men, what's left of you after you loose everything, get used by a false friend and doesn't get rid of this urge to continue, to try to gain what you wanted.
      People like Phasma, Thrawn, Tarkin or Hux are those gullible ones believing that your case is right no matter what this would be.
      Kylo Ren is a part that tries to make you blend in something else so you can be accepted even if you know it's wrong

    If you think on it long enough, you begin to realise that Count Dooku was right from the beginning. He saw that the Jedi had become complacent with its position of influence within the Republic, that the Republic itself grew more corrupt as its power and influence had expanded over time unchallenged and that there still existed a great many evils in the galaxy that neither the Jedi or the Republic seemed concerned with confronting. His strive for a separatist movement was met with the hostility from the Jedi and Republic because they endeavored to forge their own path, free over the oppressive inadequacies of the Jedi and Republic, who were blind to their own flaws. Dooku never strived for Domination of the Galaxy, simply that he could achieve his full potential and make a lasting difference in the galaxy.

    The most painful thing for Yoda that made his failure even worse, was that Dooku didn't fall to the darkside as a young man like Anakin, but as an old jedi veteran counting off his last years. Even after having been with the jedi for so long, having done so much good, he still fell. reminding Yoda once more of the fact how detached he was from reality, together with the council.
    This is why i consider Dooku to be an even greater tragedy than Anakin. Although both were very similar. Both had an inner conflict of identity and both desired power. both were dissolusioned by the jedi council and both went on to do what they believed was for the best, despite what everyone thought. The big difference is that Anakin fell as a young man in his prime, but Dooku fell at the very end.

      I think there is a little more ambiguity to that. I love the Sith Lords. I think they are fascinating. Exploring what it takes to push people into the dark. But... I have to admit it is worrisome to me sometimes, the number of people who confuse that fascination with "Maybe they were right?" The Sith Lords are objectively worse people than some of the greatest tyrants, rapists, murderers and dictators in our real world history. The scale of what they do, and their rationalizations for it, are in someways worse than any serial killer or genocidal dictator the real world human race has ever produced. They are fantastic villains for it.
      I think Dooku started out an idealist, but he still a Sith Lord. I think we forget what means. To be a Sith Lord, isn't a snazzy title that lets you shoot lightning out your fingers. Its so much more than that. He wasn't a dark Jedi, or a Force user who dips into the dark in desperation. He was *Darth Tyrannus* , Dark Lord of the Sith; in another timeline, in another way, he could have supplanted Sidious with Ventress as his Vader. You can't use the Dark Side of the Force as proficiently as he does, without a truly beastly level of hate, cruelty, and pain. To be a Sith Lord, you need to *want* it. More than anything. More than love. More than a political ideal. A person for whom POWER is the ends, not merely the means. A person for whom the Self is the only fundamental reality.
      Vader may have started down the road in order to save Padme, but when the time came, he chose his power over his love.
      Dooku may have started down the road to serve Serranno, but in the end, when push comes to shove, he will serve himself over all. He was still a murderer, a war criminal, a slaughter of entire worlds.
      I don't think its enough to say he was right, but went about it the wrong way. His very ideology was corrupt from the start. Because his way wasn't a last resort. It wasn't the path he was forced down. It was the path he chose. When confronted with a broken system, his first impulse was to say "The correct thing to do now is to kill billions." And there is no way for that to be anything other than evil.
      In my opinion, part of the allure of the Sith Lords, is their all encompassing, mind numbing capacity for evil. They are the apex of selfishness, powerlust and the ultimate expression of the "might makes right" ideology that you will find at the core of every human atrocity ever committed.
