It was the will of the force if qui gon lived the Jedi would survive still be corrupt and the sith would be destroyed

More reason to believe he'd order Maul to kill Qui Gon first, and Obi Wan second. It was a win a win

Yes, it was yet another brilliant move by him. He didn't want to take Maul back in TCW because he had already fulfilled his purpose of taking out Qui Gon, thereby setting up Dooku's and Anakin's fall to darkness.

Makes me think about the psychology of most characters in Star Wars, if you look at it close enough, everything can be seen as a puzzle, before you know it, your own life becomes a puzzle, turns you into a psychology knight.

Surprising how the death of one Jedi started an entire saga of the star wars

Yes he was, may he rest in peace

I miss him

He relly truly was the best...

Not really, Christopher Lee didn’t look or sound as graceful as Dooku in the animations. The animated Dooku way better

@@fortheEmpire666 there's no intention of saying the clone wars dooku is not good, he did a great job as dooku but Lee still had good acting in the movies and the clone war movie i think he was apart of before his passing

I wanted a dooku or general grievous series pretty bad

@@Jestrath I do too.

personally iv alwaysewanted a series set between episode 1 and 2 as i feel its an interesting unexplored time

Dooku still needs his series and Grievous his origin story. We didn't even get to see Dooku with Yoda, hear Dooku's debates with Qui Gon, Dooku met Plageius, how Dooku first met Sidious, get a Dooku vs Sidious fight, see Dooku spar Mace Windu and Cin Drallig, see Dooku meet Jango Fett, Dooku during his ten years as a Sith Lord, Dooku recruit Grievous, Dooku fighting alongside Jango Fett, Dooku killing Mandalorians, I'd also love to see him defeat Jango Fett in a fight, etc.

I wanna see and hear his Raxus address.

He actually praised kenobi on their fight on nabooo when he’s rako hardeen

He says master kenobi you disappoint me yoda holds you at such high esteem not qui gon

Although when he’s captured he does say qui gon spoke very highly of you I wish he was still alive I could use his help right now

@Quandale Dingle I think that was more so about obi wan being able to stop his plans

@@lorenzorercan3821 yeah, that’s still praising him, he said anakin isn’t impressive but obi wan is a worthy adversary which is dooku coping since anakin nearly beat his ass

@@Isael89 I hope you're right!!

@@Isael89 most likely not, they basically covered his entire fall to the dark side well already. It’s in books as well. Had they only done one extended episode as a tease, then I’d agree. Though, I really hope I’m wrong.

In the early 2000's, there was a video game series called Army Men. It involved plastic soldiers and had the tagline "Real Combat. Plastic Men." The first few games were pretty quality games, but after a bad game release the company started hurting. They then churned out something like 15 army men games in a very short couple of years in hopes that they could prevent going bankrupt by creating more games. It didn't work, the quality of the games was poor and the company went bankrupt. I would hate to see something similar happen with Disney and Star Wars, but a lot of the warning signs are already there. Quantity != quality.

Definitely, we didn't get to see Dooku with his master Yoda at all. We also completely missed his journey from being a knight to becoming a master, his arguments with the council, and his near 10 year run as a Sith Lord before AOTC. Dooku recruited Jango Fett, Ventress, and Grievous. In a full Dooku series we could find out how he first discovered Sidious. Perhaps he went on his own undercover mission fighting mercs, bounty hunters, assassin's and doing his own blackmail. Maybe Sidious had Dooku take out some Jedi, rouge mercs, a corrupt senator and his escort, and a couple of Sith pretenders as a Sith Lord. I'd love to see a canon Battle of Galidrann where he first meets Jango Fett, how he first met Qui Gon, more of Dooku's relationship with his best friend Sifo Dyas, Dooku sparring Mace and Cin Drallig, etc. Ahsoka is getting her own show outside of this, so can Dooku. Hopefully we'll get at least 12 episodes each season and at least four seasons (Padawan/origin story, Knight early missions then with Qui Gon, Master getting close to Palpatine/seeing Plageius/going Rogue, Sith Lord recruiting Grievous/Jango/Ventress plus his dark missions and putting the strings together)

@@Isael89 Spot on, especially since Dooku was the most loved in this. I've been advocating for a Dooku series since after Rogue One. But I have good news for you. I often don't get my specific wants answered in every show but I wanted a gritty Star Wars show and we got Mandalorian. I advocated for a Bad Batch show since season 7 of TCW and we got it. We might just get this. I have a Tumblr article regarding what I'd like to see in a Dooku series. You are welcome to check it out.

I fel like he's always had so much potential its jsut rearly brought out.

He's always been top 5 for me. Hopefully, the success of the series will get us a full Dooku show

He's easily my character after watching his episodes along with listening to the audio book Dooku Jedi Lost I now have a clearer understanding of his fall to the dark side, this tribute is so good

My top 5 in no order: Dooku Maul Ahsoka Plo koon Rex

My top five in order are General Grievous, Count Dooku, Cad Bane, Darth Sidious, and Admiral Trench. I don't care about anyone else.

but you can also see that like anakin, he was guided by his own ego. You see it when he is noticeably dejected that windu got a seat on the council before him

@@andresv.8880 He would have a better ability to actually influence Jedi politics if he was part of the council, so no doubt he wanted to use his new position for specific goal in mind.

@@andresv.8880 Dooku was more dejected that WINDU got the seat. A Lawful-Neutral bordering on Lawful Stupid guy got the council seat which ALREADY had too many of them. All that meant was that there was no chance of the Jedi Order changing in any way. Mace Windu would not try to help the common people who were suffering by the Senate's corruption. Windu (and the Council) would follow protocol. They would serve the (Corrupt) Senate. This also convinced Dooku that he and others like him, those who opposed the corruption, who wanted the Jedi Order to do more to protect the people of the Republic would never be appointed to the Council. They would never be able to make the changes necessary to protect the people.

@@sarethuskami5082 you are trying to ignore the fact that both Anakin, Dooku, and others who fell to the dark, while being perhaps guided at first by some well meaning cause, ultimately fell to their own greed and ego.

​@@andresv.8880doesn't exactly change what they said. What originally made Dooku turn his back on them was when he realized the was no hope for the Jedi.

That book is so beautiful when it goes into Dooku's psyche, especially when he and Yoda face off at the end. Yoda has a retort for every single argument and justification that Dooku can dish out and he gets Dooku to basically acknowledge that the ideals he espouses are by that point little more than lies he tells himself as much as others. The only thing that ends up preventing Dooku from deserting Sidious is sunk-cost fallacy, he feels like he has gone too far to ever return. That and he feels like he has been replaced by Anakin, making him even more embittered. It's really sad how he's so close to coming back, even realizing how empty his life has become, but doubling down on his course is the only thing he has left.

@@sherlocksmuuug6692 it is my favorite Dooku novel. You get a real sense on just how much the feel of being alone, not being able to trust and the obsession with being betrayed ran Dooku's life. It led to him developing standards nothing could live up to and any misunderstanding gets interpreted negatively. That last flicker of light inside him dies when he thinks Yoda, the last person he truly trusted, has 'betrayed' him by bringing Anakin and Obi Wan instead of coming alone. In that moment, we see 'Dooku' die and only Tyranus remain, he's less than he ever was because he embraces that deep fear of 'in the end we are alone' and 'everyone will betray you' so why not betray everyone else too? Why have principles, honor and comrades? To Tyranus it becomes a dark farce and he himself the chief player in a self made tragedy. Sir Christopher Lee also imparted a certain sorrow to the character, same as he does with all his villains, "There is a Darkside in all of us and in bad people, it dominates. There is something...sad about malevolence, to be wicked and I have tried to make that come across in the villains I have played." it's something that truly gets conveyed in Yoda Dark Rendezvous because in spite of all Dooku's wealth, reputation, influence and personal power as Tyranus...he's utterly alone, a servant to Sidious, having become the very thing he himself was obsessed with avoiding-a betrayer in service to treachery itself. In the very last moments of his life, it fully dawns on him just how far he has fallen and the ultimate irony that it was all for nothing in the end for him as his entire life amounted to one thing...to be the victim of Anakin Skywalker's first cold blooded murder.

@@grandadmiralzaarin4962 Exactly. Usually it's kinda tacky when villains try to go the "deep down we're the same you and I" route. But it's different when Dooku furiously demands that Yoda "Hate, Rage, Feel!", that he should admit something to the effect of: "You are alone. And you are great. And when the world strikes you, it is better to strike back then to turn the other cheek!" There is this clear desperation from him that makes it utterly heartbreaking. Dooku wants to believe so hard that deep down everyone is like him, that he's not the villain, that he just acted faster than the others. And Yoda slams that down immediately. I also love how the book humanizes Yoda, not a lot of Star Wars media goes deep into him as a person. Because of that many Star Wars fans like to blame Yoda because the Jedi and Republic fell when he was in charge, sometimes even accusing him of not caring or being arrogant and corrupt. But Yoda does care, that's what makes it all so tragic. He feels responsible for every single dead Jedi and Dooku's fall, he knows the Republic has gone downhill, he just doesn't know how to fix it without becoming a dictator, but still he tries everything he can as Grandmaster of the Jedi. He tries so hard. And he loves Dooku like a son, even as he destroys everything Yoda stands for and gloats about it. So when he finally switches from trying to talk Dooku down to fighting back, that really hits hard. "Love you enough to destroy you I do." It's this beautiful contrast between utterly selfish and utterly selfless.

What were dooku's motives then as he left the Jedi order and became a sith lord? All this time I thought it was about the Jedi being corrupt, and them being servants of the Senate, and that's why he fights against them. If that's not it, what are his motives?

@@senseishu937 as Dooku himself puts it in the Revenge of the Sith novelization, "The truth is more...complicated. Dooku is different." Dooku does legitimately despise the corruption of the Republic and he rightly looks down on the Corporate leaders as cowardly, morally bankrupt and utterly rotten to the core, but not for the reasons he professes in public. Dooku is contemptuous of the Jedi for not using the full extent of their power to rule. He's contemptuous of the Republic, not for being authoritarian, but for not being authoritarian ENOUGH. He's very much an aristocrat that believes in an enlightened few controlling everyone else. On some level he thinks this is for the galaxy's benefit, but as time goes on, Dooku, or rather Tyranus, cares less and less about those he's allegedly reforming the galaxy for to the point of outright despising them in private for not being able to live up to his own standards of "how things ought to be". Essentially his own pride in himself eventually becomes his defining personality along with his inability to relate to anyone. He's very sociopathic, he doesn't have empathy for the majority of the galaxy, he considers them abstractions, or as he himself puts it, "in a sense...not real" they serve as an audience to his grandeur and to further his plans, but not for any reason of their own. His obsession with being betrayed and being alone in the galaxy made him erect emotional walls as a youngling that he reinforced his entire life so that no one could ever emotionally harm him or manipulate him.(an irony not lost on Dooku in the final seconds of his life) His envy of always being second best to Yoda drove him to push every envelope to be the best because of his pride. In short, Dooku thought that he could use the Darkside as a tool to reform the galaxy, but through it and his own personality flaws of ego, envy and contempt he began to use that more as an excuse for his own pursuit of greater power and legacy. He became just as corrupted by power as those he despised to the point he was unrecognizable to what he started out as.

Dooku left for selfless reason anakin leaves for selfish reason there very different anakin wanted to save padme dooku wanted to save the republic and civilization

@@Gooberexploring I wonder what an alternate timeline would have been like had Obi Wan teamed up with Dooku on Geonosis to overthrow Darth Sidious.

That's one hell of a counter argument. Plus it fits as well

in both cases I think the second option on their list is the more [insert whatever "which is more ____?" here]

@Jiomancy Ideally, a master is also a parent in the life of a Padawan.

Yeah, that “good man” part… Not too sure about that one

@@AiRbOrNeAnDrOiD considering what the "Good" represented at the time, peace under the republic and the Jedi was an absolute sham at best.

@@AiRbOrNeAnDrOiD He was a good man, just like how Anakin was a good man. I get that Dooku in your eyes can’t be looked at as once a good man but.... It’s the Emperor’s manipulation, both Anakin and Dooku were puppets to emperors game and he’s the puppeteer.

@@theshore2667 Right, right I get it. From the very romanticized view of morality that is Star Wars, of course. As in, Anakin Skywalker is a good man as he personally hacks 20 children to death, commits a religious genocide, puts the freedom of an entire galaxy worth of people in a chokehold for several decades and commits several other atrocities and war crimes simply because he means well. Both these men knew when they are doing objective evils and did them anyway, my point is maybe they were given lies and false promises of the end goal/result of these crimes but they still thought doing evil and violence was the way to get there and were comfortable doing them, which sort of disqualifies them from being called "good men". There have been plenty of real-world evil people who did evil for what they deemed the greater good. I'm just not inclined to make exceptions for these guys, sorry.

Yeah, but he became even worse than the system he claimed to be corrupt. He committed several heinous atrocities in the Clone Wars.

@@sarveshnathan7559 yet his actions in training qui gon properly saved the galaxy from sidious in the end

@@sarveshnathan7559 he was very manipulated by Palpatin, he really thought that everything he was doing was for helping the separatist and end with the corruption, while at the same time being corrupted by sidius

and now I know that he was still a Jedi during part of episode 1! growing up I always thought that Dooku turned Sith a long time ago

I still want a 5 season Dooku series lol

AGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!😫 let's just say everything in clone wars that lead up to order 66 and then the clone wars depiction of it made me feel like Star Wars was a tragedy for a time.

or she was trolling we may never know 😶‍🌫️

We can even see some of the old Dooku during TCW. I watched the Box episode recently and Dooku looked genuinely sad when regarding a man who's peaceful species fell into chaos. I believe that Dooku's end goal was a peaceful government that was better than the Republic, but in his darkness he sacrificed much of his own morality and ideals for that goal. He extorted planets, helped the same officials he despised because it benefited him. He went from a man with unshakable values to a Machiavellian 'the ends justify the means' (Not sure if I'm using that right).

Yes and AOTC was sort of the middle ground between those. Also to be fair, it's like a decade between those events so who knows what Sidious had him doing during that time interval.

Love this comment, appreciate you🙌

@A21-EDITS ikr it's kind hard make this edits

Read the genocidal s*** he does at the beginning of Dark Disciple and try to tell me he is a good man.

He WAS a good man, but he died a pawn for evil and committed atrocities for nothing. His goodness died with his good intentions.

Glad you enjoyed it mate
