  • Palpatine was the mighty Sith Lord pulling all the strings of the Clone Wars behind the scenes, cloaked in the dark side...but even with all of his power, he found himself somewhat jealous of Darth Tyrannus, Count Dooku himself. Why was this? Jealous of Qui-Gon Jinn? Being a Jedi? Being close to Yoda? His powers? What was it really?

      It is. Remember, to draw upon its power you must evoke emotions like anger, fear and hatred. You can *never* know peace, happiness or contentment, because to experience those things is to diminish your connection to the Dark Side. The Sith are so obsessed with power because they have sacrificed everything else in life to get it.

    To quote Ventress in Dark Rendezvous , "You must stand too much in his sun Count. He'll use you up and cast you aside, then replace you with someone younger, more pliable."
    Dooku held great influence in the Galaxy, wealthy without rival, one of the greatest swordsmen and Force users in the galaxy. The Sith Grand Plan owes an incalculable amount to Tyranus. He funded the GAR, found Jango Fett for the Clone Army while also eliminating the Bando Gora as a threat in the same plan, he unified and built the CIS with his charisma, reputation and diplomatic skills turning the disparate fragments into a functional threat all without the Jedi realizing it. He recruited and trained Ventress, Grievous, Durge and the Dark Adepts, he caused a schism in the Jedi Order and held back from killing Anakin several times throughout the war while helping Palpatine increase his own political power. Palpatine literally could not have pulled off his plan without Dooku. With all of that and Dooku nearing the end of knowledge he could learn as a Sith apprentice, it was time to replace him with someone younger and easier to manipulate. Dooku would never have rivaled Palpatine in power, but he could have in influence and that was a threat.

    Dooku is and has always been my favorite character in the Star Wars series. I believe Palpatine had Dooku intentionally lose his duel to Anakin in order to coerce or manipulate Anakin in turning to the Dark side unbeknownst that Palpatine would use that opportunity to have him killed. This further supports the theory that Palpatine was threatened by what Dooku could become.

      This is true. Palpatine ordered Dooku to only toy with Anakin prior to the actual duel. Dooku was only overpowered because toying with Anakin made Anakin use the dark side, and then Palpatine ordered Anakin to kill Dooku. Additionally, Palpatine needed Dooku dead not only because of he was a potential rival but because Palpatine wanted Anakin as an apprentice, which couldn’t happen while Dooku was an apprentice to Palpatine.

    Compared to Darth Maul and Vader, Dooku was not only very powerful in the Force, he was very intelligent and charismatic when it comes to politics and strategy. This is likely why Plagueis was interested in Dooku as an Apprentice in contrast to Maul who is relegated as a Sith Assassin.

    • @matthewmann8969
      @matthewmann8969 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      True Plagueis And Sidious both showed more interest in Dooku then Maul seeing Dooku as a powerful ally even when Dooku was still a Jedi in TPM circa Dooku was naturally gifted in the force and his mastery and potential and midichlorian count was no joke it was slightly higher then Plaguies and others including Mace and everyone else except for Sidious, Yoda, The Skywalkers, Mereks, Abeloth, Father, Son, And Daughter oh yeah. Also Dookus philosophy and political acumen as well as wealth and status and influence as well as lightsaber skills also saw him as someone they wanted on there side for those reasons too. Maul was useful for his unarmed combat skills and for his use with a double bladed lightsaber that most force users were not ready for and that was pretty much it in Legends at least based on most statements and Anakin was useful for not only for his great force potential even higher then The Mereks, Yodas, Sidious, Abeloth, The Father, The Son, And The Daughter as well as his piloting, mechanical, military, and lightsaber skills as well.

    In Clone Wars season 7 I would love to see Count Dooku and Grevious play a big role. In Episode III Grevious mentions he was trained in the Jedi arts by Count Dooku. You can see scenes of that in the old Clone Wars cartoon before that movie came out. But so far in the new Clone Wars we have never seen Grevious and Dooku train together. Not to mention Grevious was defeated by Gungans in season 4 he desperately needs a character push right now. I would love to see Count Dooku give Grevious some further training to make him a beast and then send him to kidnap Palpatine in the finale to lead us right into Episode III.

    • @crownprincesebastianjohano7069
      @crownprincesebastianjohano7069 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sidious new more about the Dark Side so Dooku had to accept him as Master. And maybe they did duel and Sidious gained the upper hand because Dooku is legitimately afraid of Sidious. That said, Sidious also feared him. In Darth Plagueis it is made clear that Plagueis considered Dooku the better swordsman and a proper replacement for Sidious without losing much. Dooku is unique as a Sith Apprentice insofar as he was venerable a master himself of the highest level. Dooku could have easily been Grand Master of the Jedi or Lord Paramount of the Sith in his own right but for being alive in the time of Yoda and Palpatine. And for that reason he was always the biggest threat to Palpatine. Dooku could have killed Palpatine and not missed a beat as the Master Sith. And the grand plan still works, except with the CIS conquering the Republic. Dooku knew of Order 66 and no doubt could have given the order himself.

      Dooku first was more interested in his idealist believe to reform the republic, destroy the huge corruption of the senate and the dogmatic static beliefs of the jedi council and safe/help his population on serano as count. somewhen there he turned dark and accepted sidious as leader who introduced him into the plan of the clone wars and funding the CIS with his diplomatic strengths. Such a great underrated character who wasnt that well unfolded in the movies and Clone Wars serie.
      From episode 2 it could be assumed that Dooku was maybe actually interested to get allied with Obi-Wan or the Jedis to overthrow Sidious before the clone wars starts/ends as he knew Sidious is playing CIS and Republic against each other to legitimate the forming of the empire and distract and eliminate the jedi order.

      I’d say a dark Jedi (undeniably uses the dark side, but does not show the power hungry qualities that define the Sith).
      He was also completely right about the corruption of the republic and subsequently the Jedi order. He was a good man who went looking for answers, became disillusioned by what he found, then compromised to kind of make it work.

    It’s crazy that at the time Palps and Plageus looked at Dooku as more powerful than Palps as an apprentice, but then when Palps becomes the master and has Dooku as his apprentice, it’s clear Dooku is no match for Palps. There is definitely something to becoming the master, that when an apprentice kills his master, he gets a huge influx of power that he didn’t have before. However I think all along Palps was to be more powerful than Dooku IN THE DARKSIDE because of the kind of person he is. Palps is basically a sociopath and being that way basically feeds into everything that makes the dark side powerful in someone. Basically where someone like Dooku who is power hungry and dark but only at times and can turn it off and be sensible can never get as powerful as a sociopath like Palps who never turns it off...it’s all about himself and he doesn’t care about who he hurts or destroys...that’s why when Dooku becomes Palps apprentice he gets rag dolled and force choked and cowers to him because in no way can he beat Palps on his own...even though he’s powerful. PS...it’s a pretty boss move by Palps though...the person who your master was thinking about replacing you with...you make that person YOUR apprentice and force choke his a$$ and make him kneel down to you...that’s a Master Boss move by The Senate himself

Something tells me that Dooku’s past as a Jedi would play a big part in his empires defence against the Jedi order returning and given his past as a count I think he’d handle his politics better in general and make less enemies to his empire while still ruling with a strong hand. I think the only place Dooku would fall short in comparison is gaining an apprentice like Anakin.

      Count Dooku saying twice the pride double the fall to anakin but then he lost both his hands. The irony lol.

      On two occasions I stomped a more powerful, more skilled and more experienced version of the guy that killed you so I fancy my chances against you old man.

    Thank you for your impressive theory.
    I am always looking forward to your explanation of Star Wars.
    I am an English learner, so I’d appreciate it if you add subtitles to your video.
    May the force be with you!!

    You have great commentary & alternate timelines, I've always enjoyed your content. A humble request from a fan of Count Dooku? Please do, make this fan fic. timeline?
    Dooku doesn't get enough respect as I have seen, for the character he was & the power he possessed.
    I would also be interested in your take on a Dooku who had never turned to the darkside, as well, I'll admit.
    This character needs more content to display how awesome he is that the movies did so poorly, portraying.
