Sith train their apprentices but also don't exactly teach them everything, as an insurance policy. If Savage wasn't a completely dumb brute, he could figure out on his own that a lightsaber is a solid method of defense against Force Lightning.
@@masterexploder9668 Not always. Yoda tried it against Darth Sidious, but the latter was so powerful, his Force Lightning just forced Yoda's lightsaber out of his hands.
S no it wasn't bullshit, but he never taught it to Vader. He did use it for numerous evil purposes, though. The engineer of the death star, was a guy named Bevel Lemelisk. And after it was destroyed, sidious was so pissed that he kept killing Lemelisk in numerous horrible ways and bringing him back to life in clone bodies.
Makashi is a great style. You can tell Dooku is a skilled fighter, and he uses his saber style to wear out his enemies. Notice how when he fights, even against Anakin and Obi-Wan, he doesn't fight to kill.
He deflects Savage's attacks to the side, as a born fencer, Dooku is excellent at deflecting attacks and bypassing defences of his enemies. When he can't break enemy's defence (Obi-Wan in Ep. 3 was simply too good at that point), Dooku could go back to his extensive choice of Force abilities. I still think he was one of the best all-rounded fighters in SW series ever, though at the point of his death I believe old age started to catch up to him and he tired significantly faster than in his younger years. Similar case to Yoda, he could still kick ass when augmented by Force, but usually he had to walk slowly with a cane. He was unable to continue his duel vs Palpatine in Ep. 3 though to be fair he took quite a beating by falling to the ground.
more like the trick yoda did towards sidious force lightning in the revenge of the sith movie. a lightsaber wouldnt be so perfect at defending lightning if the opponent pushes the lightsaber away with the force.
A lightsaber can be used as a conductor for all that lightning but there's far more to it than just holding your lightsaber out when someone attacks you with lightning
Tamir Sudri you’re stretching it, Savage had nowhere near the power of Palpatine. Palpatine was the most powerful Sith Lord in history. Nowhere is it mentioned that Savage has the power of Anakin Skywalker.
+Ethan Turrano Your statement made me smile because it reminded me of the scene with Luke and Yoda :) Luke attempts and fails. "IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Yoda lifts the ship. Dooku lifts the stones. Savage attempts and fails. "IT'S IMPOSIBLE!" LOL
Isn't that what Luke says on Dagobah to Yoda? Same lesson, different side of the Force. It's like Akuma OR Ryu. Akuma taps into the darker energies/purposes and Ryu can tap into the "power of nothingness"/"power of the universe"...
Man I really hate these types of comments. Idiots nowadays. Needing to be spoon fed knowledge about the smallest of things, or they idiotically take it too literal.
Maybe that's what happens anytime Dooku uses a Dark Side ability, despite him technically not being a full Sith (even though he's labeled as such by Darth Sidious)
Vegard Løknes it's sort of debated, Dooku is a Sith and is labelled as such but he's different from the others as he controls his abilities more and only utilises his power when he needs it, he's not mad with power like the others and uses it in moderation, he does still uses his Jedi teachings as well.
I think that's why he's trying to teach Savage to tap into his emotions when he needs it. Kind of like how he does when he zaps Savage. Shown too by his brief sith eyes there. Maybe if there was more time for training he'd have taught him control almost certainly after Savage killed the king of Toydaria.
Dooku seems serene because he had mastered his anger, and never let it consume him. That’s why he didn’t have the yellow eyes and stayed super fit despite being even older than sidious.
He had experience being a teacher, not only as Qui-Gon Jinn’s Master, but a Lightsaber/Force Instructor, mentoring countless Jedi before he turned As Sith he mentored Grevious, Asajj Ventress and now Savage, only he never had chance to complete Savage’s training due to Asajj’s impatience As both Jedi and Sith, Dooku knew both kindness and cruelty and their value. But really he had pride as a teacher, putting value to each of his students like his children in a way, like how he even regarded Obi-Wan like a grandson from being Qui-Gon’s apprentice, which was why he preferred Obi-Wan spared and turned to the Dark Side, to stand against his side
Dooku is actually supportive for a Sith master. Even though he humiliated Savage, he kept assuring him of his strengths. The Force lightning was a calculated move that, in the end, helped Savage understand how to connect with his hatred
I always wanted to see Grievous fight Dooku like how they did in the 2003 series, even though Grievous isn't as good as he use to be, it should be after the practice fight Dooku gives some advice to help so the next time we see Grievous he pretty much improves since he's listening to Dooku's advice. I would have loved to see that atleast. Just like how it was in the 2003 series but into this series to even show a bond between Dooku and Grievous since i always liked seeing them together/working together like best friends.
+Strider449 They are great pals, but I don't know if Grievous would stand a chance against Dooku, he's cyborg and Dooku's force lightning would probably kill him. o.O
Harleen Quinzel Sorry i mean training, so pretty much like this video just replace Savage with Grievous, it would be neat to see i wanna know how Dooku handles Grievous's attacks n such.
+Strider449 I see now, I thought you mean these two as enemies. Then yea, It'd be cool, just don't think he ever had much work with him as with Savage, Grievous was a great warrior and quick learner even before he was injured, Savage is just furious beast fueled by magic. :-D
Harleen Quinzel I feel like Grievous could have done so much, he's a cyborg for heavens sake lol he's got so much skill and flexibility on his side. Just the Clone Wars Team didn't use him much or really use him correctly in my opinion. But yeah can't really do anything about it now, i always wanted to see Grievous go after different characters was sick of seeing him and Obi-Wan together because they pretty much can't kill each other and it's boring to know that.
I've always wondered if Grievous and Dooku ever considered each other as "friends". Or if Grievous mourned his death, because in Episode III he seems indifferent to it.
They should create a TCW style show that shows the events before TPM. We would see Dooku as a Jedi, and other characters like Yoda Mace, Qui gon, Palpatine and maybe even Plagueis
Dooku is soooooooooooo very much Christopher Lee. The way he treats his Lightsaber as an extension of his own body, like a rapier, the thrusts, the jabs. It's beautiful
He saw the flaws, the hypocrisy and the corruption of the Council and the Senate and wanted a change, but couldn't make it due to the Jedi Council being a nominal entity controlled only by Yoda and Windu. He's no unique kind of a Jedi, he's only one among the famous Twenty Lost Jedi who lost all faith in the Order (not counting Barris Ofee, Anakin and Ahsoka) but also one of the few to actually act against it
In Legends, he became disgusted and dissillusionized after he led a jedi strike team against Jango Fett. He lost more than half of his friends, and killed almost every mandalorian, only to find out that he helped the wrong side to defeat some freedom fighters. He also heard about a similar situation about Grievous' planet. The final blow was probably losing his old padawan because the council did not bother to send a few more knights with him to help liberating Naboo. It's ironic how he helped someone at least as bad, but he probably wanted to build a new society by any means necessary.
While Zabrak were somewhat animal like, I can't stand how ppl call Savage Opress a beast. He was a great warrior, wielding his staffsaber with skill on many occasions, such as when he single handedly killed Ali Gallia, and when he repelled attacks from droids, junkers, clones, and jedi
well he was more of a beast right after his transformation. But the longer he went with more training he seemed to became far more intelligent and became a better fighter as well.
Savage was actually a good guy before he got turned into a "beast" by Mother Talzin. Even then, he started getting smarter later, especially when Maul came along to teach him.
@@Spicystachegamer doubt it. Dooku is VERY skilled. only if savage leaned into an aggressive lighsaber combat method, which dooku wouldn't know how to teach
@@daragh9372 it's possible he could have learned it himself though savage is a nightbrother and a savage zabrak is like the best kryptonite against someone like dooku who's still to old to compete with a younger well trained jedi or sith at the end of the day
Dooku: Dude you suck at fighting, I don‘t even need my lightsaber to get you fall to the ground Oppress: WTF YOU‘RE THE ONE WHO‘S SUPPOSE TO TEACH ME FIGHTING
2:30 So clever... Later on, when Savage turns on Dooku and they hash it out, Dooku basically just spams force lightning at him and Savage is completely defenseless against it. Dooku proved his theory to be true.
It’s made for fencing Or rather Dooku’s preferred lightsaber form, Form 2 Makashi Like fencing, it’s swift, precise, maneuverable. The lightsaber of Curved to make it even easier for the curving blows or blocks, to make it even more maneuverable
2:02 One of the rare times that Dooku allows himself to be physically corrupted by the dark side, displaying Sith eyes. 2:05 Dooku quickly withdraws once he realizes that he got his message across, and his eyes return to normal. He probably only allowed the dark side to overtake him because the nature of the lesson required him to behave as if he truly believed in the way of the sith. This is what I love about Dooku. He's cold, and calculating, able to fool himself and perhaps even the force for a moment.
I don't think he ever regarded Grievous as a true apprentice. He trained him to wield lightsabers, but never planned to use him in any capacity other than a killing machine. He had big plans with Ventress and Savage.
@@nahor88 agreed, Grievious was useful as a general and as a Jedi killer, but based on how Ventress dismissed his skills and his lack of ability to use the force, it is unlikely that Grievous was ever really considered an apprentice. In addition, Savage seemed to mostly be a blunt tool he intended to wield for now just as Maul was to Sidious. Whether or not that was to change in the future is unknown. I would say Ventress was the one most likely to be considered a true Sith apprentice while Qui-Gon was obviously a successful Jedi apprentice.
@@drakewinters4 You really wanna die on this hill? Rewatch the Mustafar duel for example. So much useless flourishing and spinning on the spot. Most of the time they’re swinging at thin air, although this is a problem with all the duels in Star Wars. I get it. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
@@mphylo2296 there was nothing sloppy about that fight. To the untrained eye yes. Even if I gave you the benefit of the doubt that lightsaber duel > any duel in the new trilogy. That’s just a pure fact
It was a very good twist from the Empire Strikes Back when Savage said that lifting the rocks was impossible AFTER Dooku lifted them. And not before like when Yoda lifted the ship.
I actually thought it would've been an interesting story to see Savage continue being Dooku's Apprentice, that would've been incredible, especially a fully trained Savage.
2:02 - I love such moments when we can see a shade of yellow in Dooku’s eyes which indicates him as a Sith) you may have seen the same shade of yellow when he screamed “Never!” to Mother Talzin, while she was torturing him)
Savage was only his apprentice for a few weeks, at most a month or two. Imagine if he allied himself with Dooku and was fully trained by him, he and Maul could have stood a much greater chance against Sidious.
This is actually really interesting. When lifting the stone weights Savage makes pretty much the exact same statement as Luke in episode 5 i.e. the task is "impossible". Both Yoda and Dooku say basically same thing in response, that the task is only impossible because they think its impossible.
Dooku was Yoda's apprentice. The more you watch this show the more you see the complexity and depth they added to the Star Wars universe. Excellent writing.
I love how the music spikes when Dooku shocks Savage, especially the second last time when the choir kicks in. It really shows how powerful Force Lightning is since it can basically incapacitate most foes.
The Sith training technique isn’t even a technique. It’s purely menacing. Insulting your apprentice and making them mad so they can use their anger and hatred.
Honestly I'm more scared of apprentices trained by dooku then any other sith lord besides Sidious, Like shit man he actually wants his trainee to learn and to get better, he teaches through words and infromation than just Zap Zap.
"You have no technique, sloppy. But with the proper training, you could be a powerful warrior." I love how Dooku's words to Savage mirrors Anakin's first words to Ahsoka "You're reckless, little one, you would've never made it as Obi-Wan's padawan. But you might make it as mine."
I love how this shows that the sith r not savage monsters/barbarians the Jedi of old have classified as. They actually have technique, intelligence, and a real philosophy/wisdom
You know what's cool is that Savage likely made his double bladed lightsaber out of the crystals that belonged to the two Jedi he killed at the end of the last episode
I’d love to see how a nightsister trains in magick. It’d be awesome to see Cal and Merrin have a kid together and the kid learns Jedi and Nightsister powers.

This scene really illustrates the Sith learning process. When savage told Dooku he hated him and Dooku said "Good..." that gave me a chill.
+Will M (Acclimate) And when he shocks him again, I always imagine Dooku adding, "Now hate me MORE!"
That's because the sith use their emotion to enhance themselves and their connection to the force
riiiiiight and dooku is not even the type that does that to me but he really showcased himself as a sith in this moment

Was the in eu. Because that is no longer cannon.
I love how Savage is like Luke with "Its impossible" and Dooku like Yoda "Because you have deemed it so"
Just with the touch of the dark side
don't forget yoda trained dooku, so it would make sense
But this was the stupid version. Saying "it's impossible" AFTER you have just seen it being done is a bit on the daft side.
Savage is many things, a thinker is not one of them
All of Yoda’s padawans tend to share his mannerisms and wisdom.
Yeah but Yoda doesn't shock Luke after the lesson 😂
I actually feel sorry for Savage - he's not truly evil and was essentially taken from his home and enslaved as a Sith apprentice. Kinda sad.
Even Maul had the same story
+Mohammed Zaid but in a way their sad stories made them into deadly and formidable warriors and dark Jedi
I agree
He wanted to protect his friend so bad from Ventress
00Mindi00 Yeah. Back before Ventress recruited him and he was transformed, he appeared to be an honorable warrior
The irony for Dooku at 0:41
The the only difference is that the other used the scissors😂😂😂
I think they put that in as a reference to what Anakin does to Dooku before he kills him.
foreshadowing his future
"I R O N I C"
“Dewit!”
Dooku needed more screen time. That lightsaber form is orgasmic. The Clone Wars series is the best thing that ever happened to Star Wars

Vegard Løknes That's a better way of putting it, exactly that, I prefer Sith like this.
Well the Sith Yellow Eyes are a Symbol of Anger and Hatred and The Force Lightning is Power by those same Emotions
For someone who talks about using their hate, Dooku honestly acts more like a Jedi than most Jedi. Extremely calm and collected.

He also heard about a similar situation about Grievous' planet. The final blow was probably losing his old padawan because the council did not bother to send a few more knights with him to help liberating Naboo. It's ironic how he helped someone at least as bad, but he probably wanted to build a new society by any means necessary.
He could see through the lies of the jedi
Nialen Capefet also the council keeping silent about the death of qui gon and who killed him
Training? This is just showing how epic Dooku is.
Dooku is right in that regard something only becomes impossible when you say it's impossible
While Zabrak were somewhat animal like, I can't stand how ppl call Savage Opress a beast. He was a great warrior, wielding his staffsaber with skill on many occasions, such as when he single handedly killed Ali Gallia, and when he repelled attacks from droids, junkers, clones, and jedi
well he was more of a beast right after his transformation. But the longer he went with more training he seemed to became far more intelligent and became a better fighter as well.
Savage was actually a good guy before he got turned into a "beast" by Mother Talzin. Even then, he started getting smarter later, especially when Maul came along to teach him.
Savage: "This is impossible"
Dooku: (sigh) "You LITERALLY just saw it happen".
ironic he had Savage in the same position Anakin has him in the future.
Sean Last Savage Savages as it's impossible to lift it, just like Luke said to Yoda
It's the way of the Sith
Savage would have become a monster had he remained under the training of Dooku.
Matthew Breslin the clones would've had an easy job if that had happened when order 66 happened
Could he surpass him one day?
@@Spicystachegamer doubt it. Dooku is VERY skilled. only if savage leaned into an aggressive lighsaber combat method, which dooku wouldn't know how to teach
@@daragh9372 it's possible he could have learned it himself though savage is a nightbrother and a savage zabrak is like the best kryptonite against someone like dooku who's still to old to compete with a younger well trained jedi or sith at the end of the day
@@Spicystachegamer that is a good point, but unlike sidious, he just wanted the war to be over already and sidious to be dead I believe
Dooku: Dude you suck at fighting, I don‘t even need my lightsaber to get you fall to the ground
Oppress: WTF YOU‘RE THE ONE WHO‘S SUPPOSE TO TEACH ME FIGHTING
"What you ask is impossible"
"Did you not just see me do it two seconds ago!?"
I love how savage is basically luke in this sene, it only seems impossible, but instead of encouraging savage to try again, dooku tortures him.
0:23 that's what Dooku would say if he could see Rey's lightsaber skills
Don’t forget sloppy as well
Favorite villain. Dooku, he uses hate but he doesn’t use rage in his strikes he uses elegancy and preciseness
2:30 So clever... Later on, when Savage turns on Dooku and they hash it out, Dooku basically just spams force lightning at him and Savage is completely defenseless against it. Dooku proved his theory to be true.
I actually like Count dooku's lightsaber, it is unique.
It’s made for fencing
Or rather Dooku’s preferred lightsaber form, Form 2 Makashi
Like fencing, it’s swift, precise, maneuverable. The lightsaber of Curved to make it even easier for the curving blows or blocks, to make it even more maneuverable
@@christophersanchez7731 well curved hilts in general are just more comfortable and fits more naturally in the palm
2:02 One of the rare times that Dooku allows himself to be physically corrupted by the dark side, displaying Sith eyes.
2:05 Dooku quickly withdraws once he realizes that he got his message across, and his eyes return to normal. He probably only allowed the dark side to overtake him because the nature of the lesson required him to behave as if he truly believed in the way of the sith.
This is what I love about Dooku. He's cold, and calculating, able to fool himself and perhaps even the force for a moment.
Then: Savage being toasted
Now: Franklin being roasted
Lamar: 🎶Nnigaaaah🎶
So, mauls double saber in rebels, it's a combination of Savage's and his original. Just realized that.
Well, Maul's new lightsaber is that of an Inquisitor's with the spinning mechanic removed.
Thaal Sinestro Look at Savage's hilt it looks more like a combination of that and mauls original one
corysyourman Right, but Maul's new lightsaber literally is a modified Inquisitor lightsaber.
You can look at the official images from the SW designers' desks online. They are Inquisitor sabers
@@Dakeryas95 I choose to believe your comment to cool
Damn I never realized Dooku had 4 apprentices. Qui-Gon, Ventress, Grievous, and Savage.
I don't think he ever regarded Grievous as a true apprentice. He trained him to wield lightsabers, but never planned to use him in any capacity other than a killing machine. He had big plans with Ventress and Savage.
@@nahor88 also not to mention the small posse of dark acolytes
@@nahor88 agreed, Grievious was useful as a general and as a Jedi killer, but based on how Ventress dismissed his skills and his lack of ability to use the force, it is unlikely that Grievous was ever really considered an apprentice. In addition, Savage seemed to mostly be a blunt tool he intended to wield for now just as Maul was to Sidious. Whether or not that was to change in the future is unknown. I would say Ventress was the one most likely to be considered a true Sith apprentice while Qui-Gon was obviously a successful Jedi apprentice.
@@nahor88 Padawan, my apologies.
He had many students, but only a few were apprentices.
I've gotta say, Savage's lightsaber has my absolute favorite humming and swinging sounds. I love the gritty tone it has.
I am so happy that dooku got a lot of screen time in this show because he only had 4 scenes in the prequels.
0:23 me watching the lightsaber fights in the new Star Wars trilogy
"Sloppy!"
As if the lightsaber fights haven’t always been sloppy and unrealistic
@@mphylo2296 no they haven’t actually. Not to the degree in which the new ones showed
@@drakewinters4 You really wanna die on this hill? Rewatch the Mustafar duel for example. So much useless flourishing and spinning on the spot. Most of the time they’re swinging at thin air, although this is a problem with all the duels in Star Wars. I get it. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
@@mphylo2296 there was nothing sloppy about that fight. To the untrained eye yes. Even if I gave you the benefit of the doubt that lightsaber duel > any duel in the new trilogy. That’s just a pure fact
This duel between Dooku and Savage is a proper version of "How the Rey vs Kylo Ren fight should have ended".
Exactly
2:38 ah yes, the sacred art of "putting a lightsaber between you and the lightning". Very hard to master
2:24 Still weak, he lifted only two stones
That’s more than you can lift.
Not weak when you consider he was being electrocuted at the same time, in addition he was only a novice.
To be fair, that was his first time using the Force.
:(
He could become strong no dooku but strong
1:41 that’s a lesson dooku took from yoda
Ahhh, actual training in Star Wars, I missed you
2:02
These are the only scenes where we actually see Doku with Sith eyes caused by giving in to his hatred.....
He does not like Savage
It was a very good twist from the Empire Strikes Back when Savage said that lifting the rocks was impossible AFTER Dooku lifted them. And not before like when Yoda lifted the ship.
I my the only one that would want to see savage stay as dokos apprentice it would be an interesting story
I actually thought it would've been an interesting story to see Savage continue being Dooku's Apprentice, that would've been incredible, especially a fully trained Savage.
@@YousufKhanPR sidious would have simply eliminated him if eve became too much a threat
2:02 - I love such moments when we can see a shade of yellow in Dooku’s eyes which indicates him as a Sith) you may have seen the same shade of yellow when he screamed “Never!” to Mother Talzin, while she was torturing him)
Savage was only his apprentice for a few weeks, at most a month or two. Imagine if he allied himself with Dooku and was fully trained by him, he and Maul could have stood a much greater chance against Sidious.
Savage: "Lifting two stones is impossible!"
Dooku, who lifted a dozen of them literally ten seconds earlier: "Am I a joke to you?"
1:39 “what you ask is impossible”
He says this to the elderly man who just did what he considered impossible mere seconds ago.
"How does one defend against such power" I love Savage Opress that line was delivered pretty well
This is actually really interesting. When lifting the stone weights Savage makes pretty much the exact same statement as Luke in episode 5 i.e. the task is "impossible". Both Yoda and Dooku say basically same thing in response, that the task is only impossible because they think its impossible.
Dooku was Yoda's apprentice. The more you watch this show the more you see the complexity and depth they added to the Star Wars universe. Excellent writing.
I dont know why, but Dooku saying good when Savage says he hates him cracks me up every time. These Sith live off of hatred, they're addicted to it.
I love how the music spikes when Dooku shocks Savage, especially the second last time when the choir kicks in. It really shows how powerful Force Lightning is since it can basically incapacitate most foes.
This has pretty cool parallels to Luke and Yoda in Episode 5. Dooku's counterpart to Yoda's "Do or Do not there is no try is" in 1:44
What a nice practice duel. Almost seems like the real thing.
I just released dooku's eyes truned yellow at 1:57
Looks like plankton finally got a hold of Mr. Krabbs...
2:02 Dooku had sith eyes
Count Dooku is Beyond Evil, but you have to say “He is a really good teacher”
To bad Savage had to betray him, they would’ve been unstoppable
The Sith training technique isn’t even a technique. It’s purely menacing. Insulting your apprentice and making them mad so they can use their anger and hatred.
I saw his sith eyes for a moment
2:02 is the first time I've seen Dooku with sith eyes.
I just realized that dooku has yellow eyes 2:02
They only appear when he’s deeply immersed in the dark side
1:38
Its almost like the advice yoda gave to luke when he tried to lift his x-wing out of the swamp
*its as if yoda was dookus master*
H m m m m m m.
Count, As A Jedi, Must've Been So Disciplined And Full Of Ideals
0:25 me watching Rey fighting with a saber
0:41. It won't be long until Dooku was in that position.
Honestly I'm more scared of apprentices trained by dooku then any other sith lord besides Sidious, Like shit man he actually wants his trainee to learn and to get better, he teaches through words and infromation than just Zap Zap.
it just makes you think how different he must've been back when he was a Jedi and trained Qui Gon
2:04 i like how savage sings the same note here
I would’ve loved to see how dooku trainee qui-gon. Then to compare the patience and nurturing with this.
"You have no technique, sloppy. But with the proper training, you could be a powerful warrior."
I love how Dooku's words to Savage mirrors Anakin's first words to Ahsoka
"You're reckless, little one, you would've never made it as Obi-Wan's padawan. But you might make it as mine."
I love how this shows that the sith r not savage monsters/barbarians the Jedi of old have classified as. They actually have technique, intelligence, and a real philosophy/wisdom
I wish we got more of these two
When a student says a task is impossible...
Yoda: shows him how it's done
Dooku: Blasts him with lightning
It looks like yoda training Luke
I can't seem to remember Yoda frying Luke :p
Eggos i think he means the force lifting and Savage then saying what Luke said to Yoda, “you’re asking the impossible”.
@@NYComedyCreature exactly.
You know what's cool is that Savage likely made his double bladed lightsaber out of the crystals that belonged to the two Jedi he killed at the end of the last episode
I’d love to see how a nightsister trains in magick. It’d be awesome to see Cal and Merrin have a kid together and the kid learns Jedi and Nightsister powers.
