I will say this the count really does make a good point the Jedi were nothing more than tools for the Senate to use

REmember Qui-Gonn was skeptical of the jedi and the republic from episode one.

Miss count dooku saruman I do rest in peace christopher lee may the force be with him

The soul trembles from the story - the author has done a great job. You can feel the weight of the choice that Count Dooku made. All the burden that he carried all these years... It’s a pity that there is so little information about him, I would listen to the story about the giant Terentatek that he and Master Yoda met on Kashyyyk. Sad fate. Tears welled up in my eyes when the second part of the video began. I felt the depth of the betrayal that his master so easily committed. And this is his promised reward, after all the sacrifices he made for the Master? Count Dooku deserves better. And I agree - "Count Dooku is much more powerful than Lord Sidious." (I respect you for these words). Count Dooku is my favorite, Jedi, Sith Lord, and just a character, forever. And also, in my opinion, this is one of the honest characters from Star Wars, how many times did he tell the truth about Sidious, but they didn’t believe him... How many times did he say that the Senate is corrupt and acts in its own interests, and not in the interests of the people. .. Thank you, Sir Cristosphere Lee for giving us this character, the way he conveyed his character, the pain towards Qui-Gon, the emotions that he conveyed when the one to whom he was loyal betrayed him. Thanks to him for playing as if he were Count Dooku, without fear, naturally - this is a great job. (In my opinion, all the roles that Sir Christopher Lee played were played naturally, and this is worth a lot. Eternal memory to him). Author, I thank you for all the feelings and efforts that you put into creating this story. Great job. This piece will forever remain in my heart. Like. Subscription. And a lot of views on my part...

Si ganas...por las vistas ..🙃

He Didn't, thats why he died

Dooku is basically what Qui-Gon could have been if he left the order. A dark reflection if you will

Long live the Union of Soviet Galactic Republics!

too sad people irl doesn't understand the government is a mafia

​@@Franco_Boss That.. doesn't even make sense 😅

When was he ever shallow? When the movies released? Dooku has been expanded upon in legends and canon

@lvobo In the audiovisual medium perhaps but he was deep before. I recommend you listening to the Dooku: Jedi Lost audiodrama and reading the book Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

@@theunknownuser9609 That is the problem ,he was expanded in books - outside of the movies. This is the main problem with the Prequals , they didnt introduce and develop the main characters. Not everybody has read the books or had access to them when the prequals came out. I remeber seeing E3 for the first time as a kid and I had no idea who General Grevaus was and why was he important because JL pretty much skipped the clone wars. E2 ended with the start , E3 started with the end. That is the problem ,they needed to have a movie in between them like spliting E3 into 2 parts. At the end of the day , the movies are the base cannon, everything else is a fillar and if the movies dont provide show anything...

Much like Darth Maul.

I hate to say it, but I think I like him more than Darth vader, he's definitely my 2nd favorite sith behind Valkorian/Vitiate/Tenebrae.

Too bad he doesn't get redeemed unlike Anakin, he suffered a quick death with no escape, he was just another pawn to Sidious and shows how "there is no mercy".

@@CC_Cody2224 Just like Maul in the end, only a pawn to Sidious to the point that Sidious was quick to let go and seek another. To the point all Maul had left was his brother and his rage.

@@TheSilentFirefly Indeed, Maul didn't even have a chance for redemption as he wasn't corrupted, he was always doomed to be evil.

To be honest, I’ve always loved his character. So interesting since the first apearance.

If you enjoyed this perspective on Dooku listen to the darth Plagueis audiobook the original version of this part of dookus story. Sooo good

I love this

The look of betrayal before his death, they captured it perfectly because he betrayed everything and everyone, set the plan to wipe out the jedi in motion and just like that he's thrown aside

@@Furonanator139 The coolest part is that despite his shock, Sir Christopher Lee convinced Lucas not to make Dooku either beg or give Sidious away. He was too brave and too proud for the former, and too noble for the latter.

​@@TheStraightestWhitest He also had input of the death of Saruman in Return of the King. He took his roles seriously even unto their death.

@@krazycrismore Him asking Jackson if Jackson had ever heard a man get stabbed in the spine must've been chilling.

why not?

We'll never view Dooku the same way we viewed him back in 2002 & 2005 Thank you, Dave.

True

Yes but in doing so, he took sides with the Viceroy who wanted Padme amidala dead

@@Wildboyz6913 Dooku and Padme would have made great allies in their idealism. Dooku was just more radical in his methods and thought that Padme was too naive to see that the Republic wasn't worth defending and that it couldn't be fixed.

@@kungolaf4499 True, but he was sympathetic to Viceroy Gunray who wanted Padme dead

@@Wildboyz6913 He wasn't sympathetic to any of them. They Nemoidians, Zyggerians and others alike were prime examples of those exploiting the galaxy through the Senate's corruption. He was willing to play charade and enable them with their own corporate fiefdoms and armies so that the Republic would see them as a threat - and as a consequence arm and centralize with a strong leader capable of curbing the Senate's corruption with one's authrotity and destroying these corporates. He thought that he would be the one to slaughter the Separatist Council at the end of the war instead of Anakin - and blame the Separatist war crimes on Grievous. He was essentially a massive idealist willing to play the bad guy for the ultimate Sith plan. He saw Palpatine as an ultimate evil, but thought the faustian bargain was worth it to try and gain power to him and his ally and try change things compared to the laxity of the Jedi in the midst of corruption. The dogma of the Jedi made them blind and ignorant. But he too got corrupted and would have most likely not been helpful to planets like Desix or Ferrix - the main perpetrators of something like the Separatist movement - after the revolution if he happened to survive.

@@kungolaf4499 WOW! Grievous wouldn’t be too happy about that!

Honestly motivation wise he reminds me of revan at least when Dooku started anyway. Revan saw the Darkseid as a tool to prepare the republic for an oncoming threat and doors saw it as a path to fix the very corrupt senate. Geetsly talks about the history of star wars and there is such a history of corruption exploitation and racism the movies couldn't get into. But like Vader he fell into the trap of the sith, once you have power you've lost what you sought it for

and to sir christopher lee for being the real tyranus

well Jedi code said sth like that leads 2 dark side and like the Jedi said it was his Downfall

@@Furonanator139t’s like something else I read the light side is giving up your identity in service to others while the dark side slowly corrupts your identity until you are a shadow of your former self both takes your identity away but one’s more destructive

The part I felt the most was when Dooku said "it is time to let go, what choice have I?" Showing Yaddle that he couldn't hold on to Qui-Gon because it is an attachment

Discarded and reviled by everyone, including his own people from Serenno, whom he had sworn to protect before his fall.

@@maksymilianziele28 dooku was too corrupted. He lost sight of his goals

What the heck... He was a man that had everything in life and yet he decided to murder and enslave half the galaxy during the clone wars. Killing multiple species and commiting genocide to a level that only palpatine himself has overcome. That's like saying you feel bad that Hitler died like idk

@@h.h.h.9307 the thing is he did it all in the name of the greater good. They were necessary sacrifices in order to bring peace to a galaxy strifed with war, corruption and chaos.

Dooku should really meet Thrawn. The Chiss would very politely explain that no government escapes that plague which is a corruption. Dooku: "Liar! I do not believe you!" And then Dooku uses a Force Lightning on Thrawn.

Yup! He let Darth Sidious twist his mind until he became the thing he despised. Sounds familiar, I know...

not underrated lol

@@lordcerrousVunderrated as a character

No he wasn't. The dark side corrupted him completely and in the Clone Wars he was ordering planets carpet-bombed to spite Republic forces and enabling a race of slavers because Sith empires were traditionally built on the back of slaves on top of stealing from his own people to fund his war chest. Saying he was on the side of the people betrays a critical lack of understanding of his character. There was nothing altruistic about Darth Tyranus, he was by far the most evil of Sidious' three apprentices.

@@Hunghoveri agree with this completely but i would still say Vader was much more evil after he turned. Bro slaughtered possibly hundreds of children when he went to the jedi temple along with THOUSANDS of his closest friends and allies

Holy shit… I’ve never thought of that before

Not true, dooku fully was a sith by 13-12 BBY, he wouldve been an even more cruel emporer than palpatine if you read his plans for the empire. The darkside had consumed him, but he still kept his elegance and didnt like to show his sith eyes very often bc he didnt have a lot of rage and was a more focused sith. He does show his sith eyes a few times tho i think when electrocuting savage oppress and ventress

Dooku became evil. He wasn't a jedi after his turn.

He is a character indeed

@@generalkenobi1972 haha meant to say "one of the most interesting characters" haha

been saying this

That is one well put last paragraph, he truly was a good guy

Supp, i have never readed a comic of star wars, i just liked the prequels, original and a handful of the more recent series, as well as some old ones, but this small extract you put has crippled me, gonna give give it a chance to the works you suggest.

Matthew Stover's Revenge of the Sith novel is brilliant. Almost as good as the movie itself although I'm glad Christopher Lee insisted on staying silent instead of going along with Dooku begging for his life. He still conveyed that Dooku was shocked and scared but gave his death far more dignity than the novel did.

Evil always turns on itself

The downfall of the Jedi began as soon as a literal Sith Lord became the Supreme Chancellor of the Republic.

@@generalkenobi9602yeah but the Jedi should’ve been able to detect him if they had not been blinded by the corruption in the senate

​@@generalkenobi9602Thank you. It is completely Palpatine's fault. I just have to wonder if these people really watched the movies and shows. It was Palpatine that made a mess of everything

@@brittney5771 The Jedi might've gotten too much involved in Republic politics but I think it was Palpatine who was clouding the Jedi's ability to sense any disturbance.The Jedi only began suspecting Palpatine in the final year of the clone wars but by that point....it was already too late.

Jedi Order had always been like that, even in the Old Republic.

Probably when Palpatine figured out Dooku's plan and betrayed him.

Beautifully said

Dooku's mistake was to trust in Palestine ☠️☠️☠️

Was dooku behind the clones and order 66 since he deleted kamino

This came out before S3

Iirc all dooku in tcw media is voiced by Corey Burton

thank you man! :)

ew

So dooku was behind order 66 and clones

thank you

He was behind the clones and order 66 rip dooku

Even when he became dark, he still wanted peace, unfortunately he did some bad things, I still know he had good intentions by doing bad things

“His death was a necessary loss”

i also remember that time when she and ahsoka were the little people. and she saw how much the war destroyed their homes.
