May the Force be with you!
Fun fact, the design they used for young Dooku was based off of photos of a young Sir Christopher Lee.
Perfect.
I mean wouldn’t that make sense?)
All i can say was finally he looks like Christopher Lee
This kind of feels like doubling down on the idea that Qui-Gon’s death sealed the Duel of the Fates in the favour of the Dark Side. It wasn’t just that Anakin lost the mentor he needed but Qui-Gon was the one Jedi who could perhaps have pulled Dooku back from the brink.
Makes me now think that Palpatine orchestrated Qui-Gon going to deal with the Naboo trade federation crisis just to get him killed.
Qui Gon really was the Mufasa figure for Star Wars. When Scar killed Mufasa, the Pride Lands became a barren wasteland full of death. When Maul killed Qui Gon, the dark side became strong enough to nearly wipe out the Jedi and the light. Like Mufasa, Qui Gon was full of wisdom, compassion and understanding and meant so much to so many people. When both died, the people who loved them changed; for better or for worse.
Mate, Palpatine saying "kill her" is a direct foreshadowing of Dooku's own death aboard the Invisible Hand. That must have bought him back to this very moment. God the writing in these shorts is just epic
Ohhh shit, now dooku's shocked reaction in ROTS just hits even harder
@@lord2.0works I literally saw it in my head when reading this comment and it made me tear up almost. Holy fuck.
And he did it again, manipulating him into helping him against Windu.
The sound effect of Dooku killing Yaddle is the exact same as when Anakin kills Dooku.
@@Gameguy-gk8lx That's probably because that sound effect is based off of the real sound of air escaping the airways and lungs after the head is severed.
Gee, who woulda thought.
The reason why Yaddle didn't run back to the temple to report anything, because she wanted to give Dooku, a friend or colleague, the chance to come back instead of 'backstabbing' him. She actually cared about all the things he had said, so it was very kind of her to, again, hear him out. Reach out in kindness instead of giving him off to the council she also lost trust in. She is so very sweet and I can't believe we lost her the same day she got a bigger role :''')
she also told Dooku when they were fighting that she stepped down from the council because she agrees with Dooku and sees the corruption in the Senate. If only Dooku could’ve known it was Palpatine doing the corruption.
We'll see a great deal more of her in The High Republic, possibly including, The Acolyte.
@@TDhexada I thought Dooku knew Palpatine was the chancellor or did I miss something?
@@lord2.0works hmmm in this matter I don't really rem... CMIIW But Palpatine was elected as a chancellor when occupation /invasion of Naboo happened, right? Qui-Gon Jinn was one of the victim in The Battle of Naboo. So this is happened in The Phantom Menace. I think Palpatine wasn't the chancellor at that time or just recently elected to replace the one before him the cancellor was Finis Valorum.
@@da_pawz I think dooku dosen't know how long the sith have corrupted the senate from hisnperspective it only started recently in order to get rid of greater corruption
Whilst I think Dooku first considered that Mace was complicit in corruption in order to elevate him to the council, I believe he did ultimately believe Mace was honest when he said he didn't know. But that made it no better, because it meant Mace got the position despite the way their mission panned out.
From Dooku's perspective, Mace wanted to clear out quickly and not investigate further, while Dooku's intuition ultimately uncovered a deeper problem. Yet Mace got the council seat because he followed the letter of the law. It proved to Dooku that the Jedi didn't care about what was right, but only what was in the rulebook and rewarded only that. He knew, at that point, he'd always be on the outside, never allowed to fight the corruption he saw poisoning the Republic.
Plus as someone that abides so strongly by the rules Mace being on the council makes it even less likely that they’d ever change
"It's such a quiet thing, to fall. But far more terrible to admit it."
Kreia, Knight of the old republic 2
“I used to bring Qui-Gon here as a boy.”
“I’m afraid…I’m afraid it’s too late.”
I think Qui-Gon’s death sealed the deal for Dooku. Qui-Gon died so the Sith could win. Dooku couldn’t stop now.
If he still had Qui-Gon to go back to, I think he would’ve turned back if Qui-Gon asked.
I think the only reason Dooku didn’t go to the funeral because it would be too painful.
Yes, even before these episodes Ep II Dooku talks warmly about Qui-Gon and even attempts to convince Mace Windu to surrender and avoid Jedi deaths and calls him "old firiend." Dooku was certainly kind of unique in his behavior as far as Sith Lords usually go. He clearly loved Qui-Gon as a son, and his death was the final push to the Dark Side under, I guess, a version of the sunk cost fallacy. If Dooku didn't go full Sith now, Qui-Gon's death would have been in vain from his p.o.v.
@@jmhaces Dooku simply became a sith to remove the corruption in the galaxy. He couldn't do it under the Jedi and hence went to Palpatine. Quite unlike other sith who were power-hungry and wanted control over others
Qui-Gon's death was the begenning of the end for both Dooku, and Anakin. The *duel* of the fates now quite literally has a *dual* meaning. Pun intended.
Qui-Gon death make Sith win double times. 1 for Dooku to become Sidious apprentice. 2 Anakin become Obi-Wan apprentice. Obi Wan is not suitable to become a master yet when he is still padawan at that time. Losing Qui-Gon was a big hit to the Jedi.
Except it seems like he was already working for Sidious at that point (even going to the extent of planting the seeds for the Clone Wars, by erasing the existence of Kamino). While I liked these overall, this was the one thing I disliked, as in the Expanded Universe, Dooku doesn't join the Sith until after Qui-gon dies, severing the last link between him and the Jedi.
My heart wasn't prepared for Dooku mourning Qui-Gon in front of the tree... 💔
That hit me hard. Prolly my favorite scene in this whole series.
I think Sidious pulled Dooku in the plan early on because he wanted to use Dooku as a smoke screen so the Jedi would think Dooku was Maul's master.
Well........shit. That burns worse the fires of Mustafar
Always was something floating in the back of my mind. That Dooku hat met with Sidious and been working in some capacity during the course of Episode I wasn't something this necessarily introduced after all, it's just the first time it was on screen explicitly.
Exactly. Dooku is much older. I imagine that Palpatine hoped the other Jedi would assume that Dooku trained Maul. It's not like they knew how long he had been a Sith Lord.
"Your devotion to rules is sometimes inspiring and sometimes maddening" Love that line
"He's not giving in to his anger"
Well, Dooku never did that anyway. I think he's the only Sith shown in Star Wars who never had the yellow eyes. He used the Dark Side without ever being consumed by it.
Yeah, i think he saw the Dark Side as a tool, and not a way of life. Interestingly, that makes him the only Sith in the modern era to actually understand and follow the Sith Code.
They touch upon this in one of the novelizations IIRC. He uses Maul as an example of a useful animal because he's consumed by the dark side. It felt like he's proud to be above such primitive dark side use.
Dooku parts are PURE GOLD!
Ep4 deserves an award 👏
THANK YOU DAVE!
Star Wars Jedi savior
"You allowed Maul to kill him." Notice how Dooku doesn't refer to Maul with the "Darth" title.
Cause he was just an assassin at first, I think.
In the first Dooku episode short, i got Transylvania vibes from the town.
It was great to finally feel Dooku's downfall, for why he turned.
We need a sifo dyas backstory he was so pivotal to the prequels
There was an episode during the clone wars season 6 I think told the story of what happened to Sifo Dyos
Read Dooku: Jedi Lost. Great book
@@nacejedi yeah seen ‘‘em all I’m talking about what we got with Dooku a very Sifo focused pre-prequel deep dive !
"Disappeared, Yaddle has."
"Search for her, I will."
"A class of younglings, I will teach."
"The Clone Wars, I will start."
"Forgot to do something, I have."
I've been waiting for you to do this reaction so I can get all the context of the lore. Love your knowledge of the Star Wars universe!!!! Also I heard the Liam Neeson's son voiced the young Qui-gon Jin
The sound and Ian coming back as the Emperor is epic in the final part Genious
Young Qui Gon Jinn is played by Liam Neeson's son Micheál Richardson and Yaddle is played by Bryce Dallas Howard. Also, Liam Neeson came back and Sam Witwer is Palpatine
That’s definitely not Witwer as Sidious. As good as his Palpatine impression is, it’s still very apparent when he’s doing it and when Ian McDiarmid is doing it, and this performance is clearly Ian.
@@a_fine_edition2746 you are right because Witwer does a good Palpatine and check it out again then, yep it is him
@Angel Estrada the credits say it’s Ian McDiarmid. You can tell it’s him. Witwer overdoes certain aspects of the performance.
At the tree, Dooku says "it is time to let him go" and Yaddle asks "And you can do this?" Dooku says the thing that tells us everything about how he has fallen this far and why he will continue to fall with the line "What choice have I!" He feels he has been forced into this alliance with Palpatine, he sees the corruption both in the senate and the jedi, the council doesn't listen to him about the coming darkness, and because of this he lost Qui-Gon. It is just a perfect line to sum up his entire character, he feels forced into choices he does not like, to do things he knows he will regret, which is also why he tries to convince Kenobi to join him, it's his last hope to change the direction of the choices he has made, in his eyes.
You can see Dooku probably inadvertently planted the seeds for Raxus's future here. Semage likely later heavily pushed Raxus to join Dooku's Confederacy.
Watching Dooku in front of the tree remembering Qui Gon was heartbreaking 💔. The fight scene between Yadal and Dooku was epic. I need to rewatch Clone Wars now. #DookuwasRight
I think Yaddle was afraid Dooku might have been suicidal....
It’s cool to see that Dooku was a Master who inspired and encouraged creativity. This show definitely made it hurt more to see that he turned.
This show and Andor are top tier SW. Both quite different in how they approach relaying the lore, but just so amazingly well done.
The episodes with Dooku were just sooo good omg I loved his tragic story.
I love how you both notice great shots and the music
28:18 and then Obi wan says it to Anakin ! “I will do what I must”.
“You will try”
18:00 I Iove symbolism of that scene, Dooku is heading to darkness, but also to the right, meanwhile Yaddle is heading towards light, but to left sight, meaning of course that she's embracing light side, but also that she is wrong, Dooku embraces darkness, but he is right about everything.
Also it's nice similiarity towards Maul and Ahsoka encounter on Mandalore, Maul stands on the right side, he's not wrong about everything, he tells what is actually going to happen, but Ahsoka does not believe him, she also stands like Yaddle on the left side
1x3 episode, the mission was to determine which one of them would follow the rules set out for the mission. Like all things, there are politics, and those on the Council would want to promote "like-minded" Masters to the Council.
from what i i've gathered from other reactions, is that yoda is speaking the way he speaks as a tribute to his master, now if canon or not, i find that to be pretty damn awesome.
This series is one of my favorite star wars content ever
Remember, the planets Raxus Prime and Secundus are two separate planets. Prime is the trash planet, Secundus is the populated planet.
I believe the reason why Yaddle speaks normally is that Yoda has a speech impediment. My reasoning is that I'm currently re-listening to Hier to the Empire and Leia and Chewy go to Kashyk to hide from the mysterious kidnappers. While there they come across a wookie leader who speaks understandable basic, the reason explained is that he has a speech impediment.
The visual between dooku flying off to sidious and anakin flying to palpatine is fantastic.
Not sure where it falls in the timeline compared to this, but if I recall correctly, there's a fairly similar force choke scene in Master and Apprentice.
The village they save in episode 2 is the same one ahsoka is at in episode 6 in this series
Cool reaction guys, think about it we got to both see/here Qui-gon-Liam Palpatine-Ian not just once but TWICE this year in 2 different shows HOW FUCKING MIND BLOWING IS THAT!!!!!! On top of rewatching phantom menave Attack fo the clones has so many moemnts now that all fall into place when we hear Dooku (Christopher Lee) both in connection to his comments to Quigon and Mace Windu, so so amazing
Jedi arrogance killed her. The "brilliance" of Yaddle to believe she could just get Dooku to come back and they both just simply take down Palpatine. She deserves to be on that fucking council.
This reaction is awesome! Props to you both.
Dooku absolutely blamed the Council for Qui-Gon's death, but he blamed Palpatine equally as much. It was the first time he truly realized Palpatine was evil incarnate, from this point onwards Dooku always try to overthrow Palpatine every chance he gets.
After watching all six episodes. I give this series a 9.5
As far as I’m concerned this is the best Star Wars content we’ve gotten in YEARS. Best we’ve gotten since Mandalorian Season 2.
The Dooku Yaddle duel adds so much complexity to the Anakin Dooku duel in ep3. This Dooku arc is some of the best SW content ever.
Yoda was Dooku's Master...
Dooku falling to his knees after thinking he killed yaddle was incredible.
Yaddle by played Bryce Dallas Howard, perfect Voice choice in my opinion.
So that makes it 3 worst enemies of the Jedi Order that Mace Windu helped create: Boba Fett, Darth Vader, and now Count Dooku.
sometimes i think windu is one of the reasons for the fall of the jedi
In almost the same day Sidious killed off two of the three Jedi who had potential to actually save the order from its decay, and finished turning the third fully to the Dark Side.
It was a good day.
28:00 And then Obi-Wan saying it to Anakin in III just before they fight
LOVE you both together talking Star Wars please keep giving us amazing content the chemistry between you two is unmatched best on TH-cam
they did such a good job!!! we need more
No qui gon was always born on courusant
at least from the new canon books n comics
I want more Dooku!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been waiting
How was Palpatine here when he was at the funeral? Or was this last part a time jump ?
I think the last scene is moments prior to the funeral.
The Darkside didnt cloud a damn thing, the Jedi were already blind. When Yaddle looks back at her cruiser 22:37, that moment says it all. The council will not believe her, it will just be more passiveness and process. I think right there she only saw two choices, bring Dooku back to the light exposing Sidious OR her death may galvanize the order better than her words can. Unfortunately neither happened.
Awesome content as always. Love you guys.
What they should to is ret-con the sequel trilogy and have it turn out that Rey was having visions/meditating on a possible future. Then you keep the stuff that works and scrap what didn't, incorporate more content from legends, and prevent people wanting to throw away all the merch and stuff they already purchased. Then I would do it anime CGI style like TALES; that way you have the intellectual property to use the characters without needing the actual actors to reprise their roles.
The more they build up the background of Dooku, the more I love the character and more I wish he’d been a bit more complex in the clone wars and movies. Keep him a dark Jedi, let him fall, but let him keep his own ideals and since of honor. Make it something where part of you wonders if he’s wrong
Always thought a fun “what if” story would be if Dooku never fell under Palpatine’s sway, and formed the CIS because he knew the republic was corrupt and falling to the Sith and did what was needed to oppose him. We spend the movies cheering for the republic only to realize the CIS was right in the end.
I can’t seem to find your guys reaction to ep 1
I don't think Dooku needs to learn about Yoda's fighting style from Yaddle. He was Yoda's apprentice. I'm sure they sparred many times.
Wasn't yaddle supposed to be at naboo? Coz I could've sworn she was there at the end of episode 1 😅
18:47 That is NOT new information.
In Dave Filoni, I trust.
Personally, I would have fallen to the dark side.
In the third episode both of them were masters just not on the council hell even in the second episode Dooku was already a master idk about Mace
Qui Gonn's death was truly the downfall of the Jedi. He couldn't stop Dooku from going to Sidious, he couldn't train Anakin to be more emotionally stable, and he couldn't lead the Jedi council to not be dick heads
Yaddle knew too much about the Sith.
Dooku is more of a tragic character when thinking about it. He always thought he was doing the right thing, he just was willing to cross lines Jedi couldn't or wouldn't.
i always felt bad for dooku, getting gaslit by someone like 20 years younger than him
Dooku's fall was more believable and more relatable than Anakin's in just 45 minutes of screen time. brilliant.
Both were by the manipulation of Sidius. But I wish they had written Anakin's fall better.
Ahsoka and Dooku both saw the flaws in Jedi.
I was looking forward to this...
A jedi's fall is always upsetting as they are tempted and seduced by what they want. Which is a LIE yadle was right and she was genuinely trying to help. I'm sure every jedi goes through darkness making the choice to let it go and fight it or go to it the greatest battle they can ever face.
#teamDooku
Wait where part 1?
Dooku was right
When Yaddle looked to ship, was she looking at Grogu?
Bro to much fanservice
I love how Dooku has a very Dracula era Christopher Lee look.
That’s intentional. Lucas had great respect for Christopher Lee and even named the character as a bit of a homage to Lee’s time as Dracula, thus the whole ‘Count’ moniker
@@samcarter565 I was hoping that was the case.
@@samcarter565 and his name starting with a D. Literally Count D that's crazy lol
@21:45 Dooku has experience fighting Yoda since Yoda was Dooku's master. So fighting with Yaddle would be easy for him since he is used to how Yoda fights already.
I think Yaddle, when the light shined on Sidious while raising the door, might have recognized who he was (The senator from Naboo) and realized how far things have gone and her will to fight vanished cause she realized it was too late.
I agree. That's the same thing I thought. She recognized Palpatine and it broke her.
Don’t forget that Palpatine had just been elected to the office of Supreme Chancellor, which would give your theory even more credence: A Sith Lord was just elected by the Republic, and the Jedi were already doomed, and they never realized it.
Exactly. Palpatine doesn't just wear that hood to try and look sexy. I imagine that he does all of these meetings, and all of his hologram calls, with just enough light to see where he is and where he's going.
I think Yaddle must be the only Jedi to have seen Palpatine in his Sidious persona (bar any visions), though she obviously didn't live to tell about it.
Not only was Palpatine sharing his plan with Jedi Dooku, but given Maul’s reaction in the Clone Wars finale, he hadn’t even told Apprentice Maul about the plan. Maul didn’t know about Order 66 until it happened.
He knew about the Clone Wars though, 10 years before it happened. We know this because of his reaction when Savage tells him. "Ah, yes... And so it began... without me..."
We don't know *when* Palpatine told Maul about his plan. He could have told him years before the Battle of Naboo even happened. And if so, it's likely he hadn't yet decided on using the clones to eradicate the Jedi. He may have, at that time, been entertaining other options.
After the young Qui-Gon stopped Dooku from killing the Senator it became clear that it was Dooku who needed Qui-Gon's counsel and reminder to stay the path of the light side. In Ep. II Dooku's lament about missing Qui-Gon and that he could really use his help seemed more of an admission that he was struggling to know what to do - all he had left was following Sidious come what may, just so long as the Senate was toppled. I don't think Dooku really wanted Sidious to become some kind of dictator, and needed someone to help him to overthrow Sidious. Qui-Gon's absence meant Sidious gets first Dooku, then Anakin, to his side, and Sidious' foresight meant he had to know killing Qui-Gon would make all the difference.
I feel like Dooku genuinely think separatist alliance is necessary, unfortunately to Palpatine, they’re just pawns in his game of chess, god now this is quality
The scene in AOTC between Dooku and Kenobi hits a lot harder now. In the original scene you could already feel his sadness wishing Qui Gon was still alive. It hurts even more now knowing Qui Gon was like a son to him.
It’s always painful knowing a character is fated to fall to darkness, but wishing they would turn back to the light all the same. Just one of those things you consider with every villain that has seemingly pure intentions at first, but then become the very thing they opposed from the start.
"Join me Obi-wan, and together, we can destroy the sith!"
Right? I'd always rewatch movies and hope that maybe this time, the thing that pushes a character over doesnt happen. It frickin sucks, especially when they make that thing almost NOT happen.
That's has always been painful with star wars because of the release order of a lot of the media, when we meet Anakin we know he's doomed to become vader, because we already saw the original trilogy.
This is exactly why the Jedi are always kept in check, all the examples of Exar Kun, Darth Revan, The Brotherhood Of Darkness, Darth Tyranus, and Darth Vader are all victims to their own passions exceeding their own grasp.
Respect for using Dooku’s Sith name 👍 No one ever acknowledges it
It's also why only less than half of them were able to be brought back to the light, and only one or two without isolation from the force or mind wiping.
It occurs to me now that there's great irony in Mace, a by-the-book Jedi, being elevated to the Council over Dooku, a maverick, and the parallel to by-the-book Obi-wan being named to the council when maverick Qui-gon never was
The High Council didn't appreciate critical thinkers I guess lmao.
Qui-Gon was offered a seat. He declined it.
Long have I waited
I’ve been looking forward to this.
Twice the pride, double the fall
"I will do what I must" is also Obi-Wan's line as he challenges Anakin on Mustafar. It's like poetry.
This is the Dooku I wish we had gotten in The Clone Wars. Think of how interesting the Ventress arc could have been, with Dooku and Sidious' having a conflict of interests regarding her teachings and what she had to fight for. It would also have given the Seperatists a much needed humanization instead of turning (most) them into generic villains that were just pawns in Sidious' plan.
Yaddle doesn't go back to report because she knows Dooku will get charged as a conspirator. She gave her life to try and pull him back to the light.
I love how this entire show is like... in-universe behind the scenes stuff lol
Lol YESSS this is somehow a perfect analogy I’ve never thought of, bravo
At the eyes of Dooku, a real, pure Jedi would never accepted the sit at the Council. That proved to him that the Jedi are as hipocrit and egocentric as the sith, they are just the other side of the same coin. #DookuWasRight bro...
So I guess the crystal Dooku bled for his red blade was either his own or Yaddle's...
Yaddle is about 450 years younger than Yoda.
Dooku force choking that guard while walking and fighting with a light saber was epic……
18:31 THIS was what I always wanted to see: how Count Dooku, Darth Tyrannus, TRULY felt when he learned of Qui-Gon Jinn's death.
My only criticism of Dooku's story is that he still hovers around the Temple quite a bit, even when he left the Order nearly 10 years earlier.
Even author Cavan Scott answered WHY Dooku was hanging around after the events of his DOOKU: JEDI LOST on the official SW Twitter account.
It makes sense, but the way they set Dooku up in the Prequels seemed to imply he wasn't on the best terms with the Order when he left & didn't want anything to do with them.
I don’t think he goes back after Qui-Gon dies. Too many painful memories there. That gives us a decade for Dooku to grow distant from them.
There's still 10 years between this short and AOTC. Plenty of time for Dooku to grow even more disdain for the Jedi, but not enough (or at least not obvious enough) for members of the Jedi Council to consider Dooku a suspect in Padme's assassination attempt.
Loved the Dooku story alot more than the Ashoka tbh however I've a feeling we are getting more of her due to the TV Show coming soon
If they ever do a season 2 perhaps the storyline of young Obi-Wan at the Jedi Temple to being nearly sent away to the agro corps due to no master selecting him to being selected by qui gon at the last minute would be a great story
While I also preferred the Dooku episodes I don’t really know what else they could give us of him
@@jonasquinn7977 we could get Mace Windu special or do some Sith episodes
@@lord2.0works I want an adaptation of the Son of Dathomir comics
@@eddieguererro46 oh 100% but preferably crystal crisis as dathormir already as a comic but crystal crisis nothing. I think both; both is good
You mentioned it but the “I’ll do what I must.” Comment goes further. Dooku says it, Qui Gon says it re Anakin, then Obi Wan says it when facing Anakin on Mustafar and again as Darth Vader in the series.
I just find it cool that that comment, or way of thinking, has passed down from master to apprentice a couple of times at least.
Not gonna lie, I REALLY really loved Dooku's story arc. I want more stuff like this.
