Dooku besides his age wasn't by any mean weak. During the Clone Wars he bested Quinlan Vos and Asajj Ventress, stalemated with Mace Windu and Yoda and managed to disarm Grievous during a sparring match, dodging without dificulty the fast and precise strikes of the cyborg and managing to resist blows capable of throwing jedi out of balance. And finally Dooku was under the impression that the plan was to kill Kenobi and turn Anakin to their side. He considered himself indispensable to Sidious and would never imagine that he would be betrayed.
People forget about his casual stalemate of Windu on Ridley. And there is debate about that 2014 Yoda comic's canon status, but he also outright defeats Yoda in a duel on Tatooine.
All the more ironic give Dooku lived by a principle of keep everyone at arms length because everyone will eventually betray you. He should’ve seen Sidious’s betrayal coming, but that’s just a testament to how manipulative Sidious was.
@@Lawrence_Talbot Aren't you sort contradicting yourself there? I mean, if he "kept everybody at arms length" for "fear of betrayal," would he not automatically have kept "Sidious at arms length," no matter what? And what makes you think he wasn't trying to live by, or at least employ the old axiom, "keep your friends close, and your enemies even closer?"
To add to this, the Dark Lord trilogy is a great bundle people should read. All 3 books were released the same year and written concurrently worth the Episode 3. Labyrinth of Evil leads right into ROTS and helps expand a little on Anakin’s push to the dark side as well as the fractured state of the Republic. RotS novel is a masterpiece, flushing out characters especially Anakin’s fall to the Dark Side and scenes far more, including details that had to be cut. I think one line that hit the most was when R2-D2 mentions to C3P0 that even he’s noticed Anakin has changed (following Operation Knightfall). And Rise of Darth Vader is a great post RotS book, going over how Anakin had to fully embrace both the evil he’s become the coffin of a suit he is forever trapped in.
Oh thank the will of the Force, I've not had notifications nuthin, but am I one happy scruffy nerfherder ,excellent to see a notification and now to catch up, hopefully you are well buddy!
Ngl growing up I always thought that Anakin was a master on the council and when I played the force unleashed I was very confused as to why he wasn't on the makeshift puppet council on Raxus Prime
Raw power alone is not reason to be given the rank of Master. A Master must exercise a true mastery of the Force aka control over how the use the Force, and more importantly themselves. Anakin had zero self control. This was something everyone knew, and Obi Wan stated plainly to Anakin again and again. Raw power that can’t be controlled is dangerous, be it Sith or rogue force adept. Anakin almost never sought out peaceful negotiations, something the Jedi were supposed to be. But instead he always acted with a blade. He lived a philosophy of if someone disagrees, they should then be made to agree or be cut down. Now that is not remotely Jedi like at all. Furthermore he gave zero Fs about the Republic, especially the senate (save for his wife). There were plenty of reasons not to grant him master. And remember Obi Wan was the first Jedi to strike down a sith in 1000 years, yet he was not immediately granted master. He still had another 10+ years before he was made master, only so because Oppo Rancisis died a few months prior to RotS.
The Force truly blesses us with yet another SWRC upload. Does this mean he has returned to us? I hope so. If not for MEEEEEeeeeeEEEEE...for the love of the Legends lore!
Anakin himself told us how the Jedi felt. They were jealous of him. They purposely held him back. They knew he was ahead of them. He knew he was ahead of them. Mace Windu even admitted it to Ben and Yoda when Ben protested when Yoda and Mace Windu gave him his 1st solo assignment.
Mace: “The boy’s powers and skills already rival most of the masters in the Order, and he hasn’t even reached his half way point yet.” Yoda: “In his mind, already there, he is…” Mace: “Should we dispose of him?..” Yoda: “No, use that, we can. We will arrange that only 4 masters will be on Coruscant and use young Anakin as bait to lure out Darth Sidious. More powerful opponents, the two will not find. And when Skywalker’s ego betrays him, our trap you will spring. Corner the Sith Lotd, just as he believes himself triumphant. Then humility and respect for the Jedi way, Anakin will find. And, he, will, be, OURS.” Mace: “And the Sith Lord?” Yoda: “Let the boy dispose of him. Then move to secure the Senate. When return I have, declare Anakin as the new Chancellor of the Republic, we will. And, then, there, will, be, peace…” Mace: “Are you sure the boy and this secret Sith will fall for it?” Yoda: “Certain I am.” Mace: (Well I don’t plan on him stealing all of the fun. I should be the next Chancellor) (Palpatine wakes up in a sweat) Palpatine: “They are plotting against me! I must warn Anakin and come up with some way to safe guard the Republic against the Jedi threat.” (He uses the Force to grab his meds and a glass of water) “…whatever, the cost. The fate of the galaxy hinges on me. The evil of the Jedi Order must be stopped before it is too late.”
@@ranfan1820 Yoda, at least in the original trilogy, mixed it up a bit. Sometimes his sentence structure and grammar was correct modern English, while other times he had it backwards or used an odd phrasing or word choices. The idea being that modern Basic wasn’t his primary language and he had been out of practice on top of that. (He was the original Mr Miyagi, lol). With for Clone Wars CGI series, they simplified it by just reversing his sentence structure, making it seem as if that was just the way that he preferred to talk. I usually go with the Clone Wars style since I feel that it’s easier and more fun for the sarcasm. But some sentences are harder for me to frame.
There are a few other Legends books and comics that flush out how people thought of Anakin. Everyone knew he was powerful, but that was also reason to be leery of him. Unchecked power is the path to the Dark Side, and Anakin already had a lot of darkness around him. Windu in particular saw Anakin as a shatter point for the Republic, although he didn’t know if this meant it’s downfall or a crucial factor to save it from the Sith (ironically both in the end). Plus everyone knew the boy lacked any since of patience or obedience, both of which were instilled in Jedi when they were toddlers.
I don't think Yoda's want for Anakin to be there when Sidious was confronted was based on his power actually. Yoda even if he was obstinate and dogmatic in his views on the Jedi and Sith knew Anakin had a bond with Palpatine that as seen in RotS was exploited to cause his fall, but more than that Yoda knew the kind of individual Anakin was and that he was a good person at heart. I believe he thought that had Anakin been present from the start and saw what Palpatine did to the Jedi Masters first hand he'd understand the kind of danger Palpatine presented.
Anakin was ridiculously powerful and every Jedi knew it, but it was also very clear that he was emotionally unstable, struggled with attachment and disregarded rules whenever it suited him. Windu being wary of Anakin is absolutely reasonable, especially given how quickly Anakin grew into his power, but trust goes both ways, and that's ultimately where the Jedi failed
Yeah, they thought it was a fluke, something Sidious used as a wedge. And, to be fair, it would seem like a fluke considering how powerful they knew Dooku had become, and how masterful his swordsmanship was, who repeatedly defeated Anakin, easily stalemated Windu on Ridley, defeated Kenobi twice with ease and defeated/slew a number of other Masters. Even Yoda could not defeat him. So it does seem odd that Anakin succeeded.
Welcome back! I do wonder if things would of gone differently had the council told Anakin how great he was doing and how confident they were he would be the one to defeat the Sith. Or maybe if Anakin was included in the group to confront Palpatine and saw him kill the other Jedi.
After all that is said, the Jedi Council should have made Anakin a master after his defeating Duku-in over a thousand years, there were only three Jedi to confront a Sith: Jin, Kenobi, and Anakin. If they had done this, which is what special circumstances demanded, Anakion probaly would have never turned.
Anakin was not ready skill with a lightsaber and reaching a balanced mental state/ peace are not the same. Anakin was immature at this point and mentally not ready for the burden there were masters less powerful than Anakin in the council but they were far wiser and much more in line with the Jedi code
So, to summarize, the entire Jedi Counsel understood that Anakin was extremely valuable in a battle (obviously), Mace Windu thought that it was too risky to bring him to a direct confrontation with Darth Sidious (understandable), but the Counsel SPECIFICALLLY DID NOT send him along with Obi-Wan to confront General Grievous, even though defeating or destroying Grievous would deliver a second crippling blow to the Separatists... Honestly, did the Jedi Counsel actually deserve to live through Order 66?
Arrogance blinded a lot of people. Windu, Anakin, Yoda, Palpatine, Dooku, and a few other members of the Jedi Council. Arrogance always leads to downfall.
"Should we bring the guy that was prophesized to bring the balance to the force with us to defeat the very last sith?" Mace: Nah, that's too risky. Yoda: Wisdom in your words, there is.
Another example Mace Windu's arrogance and hypocrisy, despite the Jedi Council stating that they wanted Anakin to be trusted with defeating Sidious, Windu decided on his own to exclude him
It wasn't arrogance or hypocrisy! Anakin was a hothead who didn't like following orders or the rules. He constantly broke them from the end of Phantom Menace to ROTS!
@@arronfrazier7873 So what does that say about Windu who decided to exclude Anakin on his own when the Jedi Council openly stated that Anakin was their best chance?
I must say its nice knowing that Mace and some council members saw Anakin in such high regards after killing Dooku. Shame Anakin never knew that had these opinions.
So Kolar an several others basically saw he WASNT THE Form 5 Battle Master Jedi but he mightve been CLOSE or well on the path. Mace should've chose at least a couple more an made it a little harder or ACTUALLY turned the tables on Sideous. That an... Kolar an some the other ms mightve won Credits off of bets on Anakin V Sith
If Anakin had had to fight Palpatine it would have been different than just standing there. If he'd been fighting Sidious he would be worked up and able to kill Sidious, but without it his judgement was clouded and he was dangerous and Sidious was able to convince Anakin to join him. A worked up Anakin would have killed Sidious. Mace's fear of Anakin's judgement was well founded, but he should not have given in to fear "that leads to the Dark Side" "once you start down the Dark Path, forever will it dominate you destiny". This could be where Yoda and Obi-Wan learnt it. Mace's fear of Anakin prevented him from doing the right thing and so he lost and the Jedi Order fell. Mace chose the quick and easy path to deal with Sidious, and Sidious used it to aid him in getting rid of the Jedi! He, Mace, became a agent of evil! Mace knew Anakin was the Chosen One, yet he didn't take him! Right there Mace caused the Jedi's downfall! Here he set up the Empire! Here he sentenced the galaxy to 25 years of pain and suffering! Here he set up Darth Vader to kill Sidious! Here he made Anakin the Chosen One the hard way!
He’s definitely supposed to be Anakin's foil. Mace was allowed to be on the Jedi Council as a Master despite using his Vapaad technique (which utilises anger, aggression and Form 7 lightsaber combat) and yet Anakin wasn’t allowed to be a Master even though he broke less rules and defeated Count Dooku. It’s also Mace who consistently denied things from Anakin throughout his Jedi life. He only _considers_ trusting Anakin if he’s right about Palpatine being the Sith Lord! Unfortunately, the dark side was clouding Mace's vision just like it was with Yoda and the rest of the high council…
@@paradox2210 Yeah, which shows that he is the worst of the High Council and only would have been good for training Anakin to use his anger without giving in. It wasn't just the Dark Side clouding his vision though but personal biases too as he probably felt his position was threatened by Anakin.
The council failed Anakin in so many ways. Their literal first interaction with him was one of hypocrisy. They admonished him for being afraid to lose his mother while they were clearly afraid to train Anakin. Yoda told Anakin to simply “ Train yourself to let go of those we fear to lose” Rather than explaining to him that grasping at something is exactly what makes you lose it. The Jedi were attached to a code which forbade attachment. It was a train wreck, waiting to happen
I’m not surprised to see the Jedi council during the clone wars era to Be generally hating on Anakin for his victory over Dooku during their duel 🤺 on the invisible hand. If they were in their right mind then right there & right then the man should have been made a Jedi master for his accomplishment. Anakin handled business when many other Jedi masters including KENOBI couldn’t yet he never got his praise for it 🤷🏾♂️that he deserved to.
Ben couldn't last against Dooku but Anakin easily killed Dooku because Dooku and Anakin were no longer restrained by outdated Jedi pseudodoctrines and Ben still was then.
It’s so amazing how many people think Anakin’s power has anything to do with being on the council! He didn’t have the right mind! Of course that is expected out of youth but you don’t sit on the council to prove that you have wisdom!, you sit on the council because you have proven you have wisdom.
No, Dooku would've still lost. He taunted Anakin into using the darkside. Anakin called his bluff and won. Seriously though, Dooku lost because form 2 weak against form 5, literally.
@@shawn092182 Well yeah, he'd have lost since he was fighting a pissed off chosen one, well that and the form 5 weakness like you pointed out. I do think that Dooku from AOTC would've lasted quite a bit longer against pissed off Anakin, but still would've lost in the end, like it'd be a lot closer due to Dooku still being in his dark side prime, but Anakin wins regardless. Maybe if it were the same Dooku that fought Yoda on Vjun (In Legends), things might end slightly different, but still, probably not.
so was everyone in a sense. and even without that, dooku wouldn't win. the way anakin overpowered him is not even funny. "Skywalker came on, mechanically inexorable, impossibly powerful, a destroyer droid with a lightsaber: each step a blow and each blow a step. Dooku backed away as fast as he dared; he could not meet Skywalker strength-to-strength-not only did the boy wield tremendous reserves of Force energy, but his sheer physical power was astonishing-"
Dooku was never a Sith. Dooku was undercover as a Sith. Palpatinus knew Dooku's plan and manipulated Anakin to kill Dooku before Dooku could try to recruit Anakin to join the separatists which would later be the rebels and overthrow Palpatinus just as Anakin planed to recruit Lucas to help overthrow Palpatinus and take over the "empire" themselves. Dooku's plan for Anakin failed just as Anakin's plan for Lucas failed as Dooku had a Sith name despite never being a Sith, Anakin became a Sith and got a Sith name, and Lucas never became a Sith or received a Sith name.
Hypothetically, Do you think Serena and Venus Williams in their physical/athletic primes could have success playing high school football? Why or why not?
Soccer or American football? Boys league or girls league or mixed? Not to mention that tennis isn’t much like football. It’s like saying that since you are good at baseball, then you should be good at basketball.
Dooku besides his age wasn't by any mean weak. During the Clone Wars he bested Quinlan Vos and Asajj Ventress, stalemated with Mace Windu and Yoda and managed to disarm Grievous during a sparring match, dodging without dificulty the fast and precise strikes of the cyborg and managing to resist blows capable of throwing jedi out of balance.

In other words, they all knew that Anakin deserved the rank of master yet still denied it to him.
A jedi master is a master in all respects; not strength, power, or talent alone.
Anakin was a master in terms of combat ability. But when it came to wisdom and discipline, he was far from it.
Raw power alone is not reason to be given the rank of Master. A Master must exercise a true mastery of the Force aka control over how the use the Force, and more importantly themselves.

It's been a while since I've seen any vids from this channel. Kinda wondering why you've dropped the "in this video expose"
Too bad Mace didn't also take ObiWan If only....
Would Anakin have defeated Sidious if Windu allowed him to come with? As per the prophecy?
Agent Coalarr
If dooku was a little younger no way anakin was talking him. The clone wars had weakened dooku . He was weary of the war .
Yeah Darkside degradation affected Dooku since he had turned very late in his life.
No, Dooku would've still lost. He taunted Anakin into using the darkside. Anakin called his bluff and won.
Seriously though, Dooku lost because form 2 weak against form 5, literally.
@@shawn092182 Well yeah, he'd have lost since he was fighting a pissed off chosen one, well that and the form 5 weakness like you pointed out. I do think that Dooku from AOTC would've lasted quite a bit longer against pissed off Anakin, but still would've lost in the end, like it'd be a lot closer due to Dooku still being in his dark side prime, but Anakin wins regardless. Maybe if it were the same Dooku that fought Yoda on Vjun (In Legends), things might end slightly different, but still, probably not.
Nonsense you are so wrong
so was everyone in a sense. and even without that, dooku wouldn't win. the way anakin overpowered him is not even funny. "Skywalker came on, mechanically inexorable, impossibly powerful, a destroyer droid with a lightsaber: each step a blow and each blow a step. Dooku backed away as fast as he dared; he could not meet Skywalker strength-to-strength-not only did the boy wield tremendous reserves of Force energy, but his sheer physical power was astonishing-"
Dooku was never a Sith. Dooku was undercover as a Sith. Palpatinus knew Dooku's plan and manipulated Anakin to kill Dooku before Dooku could try to recruit Anakin to join the separatists which would later be the rebels and overthrow Palpatinus just as Anakin planed to recruit Lucas to help overthrow Palpatinus and take over the "empire" themselves. Dooku's plan for Anakin failed just as Anakin's plan for Lucas failed as Dooku had a Sith name despite never being a Sith, Anakin became a Sith and got a Sith name, and Lucas never became a Sith or received a Sith name.
I wish obi wan were here.
windu should have been demoted
What for he was right about anakin. Promoting him was all palpatine decisions.
👍
Are you still repeating the same fact 5 times in the same video ? Genuinely asking ?
Hypothetically, Do you think Serena and Venus Williams in their physical/athletic primes could have success playing high school football? Why or why not?
No
Their potential depend on their midichlorian counts… 😆
Soccer or American football? Boys league or girls league or mixed?
Not to mention that tennis isn’t much like football. It’s like saying that since you are good at baseball, then you should be good at basketball.
If it’s other chicks sure if it’s dudes they’d be wrecked by the vast majority.
As High School Football is pretty much Men-only... the Williams SISTERS wouldn't last an hour of training, not to mention the pitch.
Was Dooku a sith? His eyes weren't yellow?
Yes, he is Dooku's eyes turn yellow whenever his piss off or using something like force lightning
Yikes
