@@finlandguy427 It was actually through the force where he sensed the upcoming order 66 event. Ahsoka felt it too but was too late. Probably sounds like it came out of my ass but it makes more sense when you watch the episodes.
There were so many times when Dooku was begging Jedi to listen to him so he could tell them what was really happening, but they were just like, "See Sith. Kill Sith." It really shows how far the Jedi had fallen. I get the sense that he was trying to be the next Revan: Embracing the Dark Side to save the galaxy from itself, including Sidious. I think that may be a part of why he was silent at the end. He knew he was doomed either way. If he spoke, he could save the galaxy. But he was too angry at the Jedi for failing to listen and himself for failing to see Sidious's true plan, so he said to himself, "Fine. They embraced this fate long ago. Let them burn."
I think also along the way he new the Republic had been corrupt and resolved that The Empire Palpatine wanted would be better and it some ways it was, but it was corrupted by the ideologies of the Sith
Dooku was right about the Jedi becoming corrupt and fallen. “They embraced their fate long ago. Let them burn.” Awesome line! Had Qui-gon Jinn known about it, he wouldn’t have died at the hands of Darth Maul and he and Dooku would’ve trained Anakin to lead a new order that wasn’t corrupt. But it doesn’t change the fact that Dooku tried to have Padme assassinated many times just to please Viceroy Gunray. But at least tales of the Jedi did show that the Jedi in their blindness never took Dooku’s words with warning nor did they trust Anakin even though he is the chosen one as Qui-gon said he was.
@@Wildboyz6913 With some more development he could have been an amazing character. Realising the Jedi are becoming corrupt and/or blind in unison with the Republic senate he leaves the order. Then Sidious comes along with the plan. Whilst Dooku goes along with it, he doesn't trust Sidious, or really believe in the Sith. Instead believing he can actually use the droid army to destroy the Sith, create a new order, and create a more equal galactic government. It's a delicate and dangerous game that was rigged against him from the start.
That is not really true, Dooku was a Sith lord, everything what he did was for his own interest and the only reason he confessed Sidious to Obi Wan was to gain.
@@eho6380 I feel like Dooku was just using the dark side of the force because he believed he could use it for the ultimate good. He was on the wrong side, but only because he doubted the Jedi way for a very good reason. His path of villainy was pathed with good intentions. He didn’t really have much of a choice in that instance, if you were in his shoes, you wouldn’t be able to do much in the larger scale anyways such as he did without the use of the dark side.
Christopher Lee did an excellent job with this role, but credit must also be given to the talented Corey Burton who voiced Dooku in both the 2003 Clone Wars mini-series and the 3D The Clone Wars series as well as in several video games.
well at least one scene that is memerable with christopher lee and corey burton is the scene with ziro the hutt contacting dooku. It is like having an actual conversation.
Fun Fact: The reason Count Dooku (Darth Tyrannus) has a curved hilt is because Christopher Lee was very skilled in rapier fencing so it suited him better to use a curved hilt. Similar to how Samuel L. Jackson asked for a purple lightsaber.
Fun fact the Corey Burton used for Dooku impressed Christopher Lee so much that Lee refused to reprise the role of Count Dooku because he thought Corey was better.
Corey Burton used to be Dooku's voice in video games too, long before Filoni's series. He did a fantastic work in the CSI campaign from Galactic Battlegrounds, which is a story that stands in its own right as an amazing tale of Dooku's accolyte Sev'rance Tann rallying up another droid army after the fall of Geonosis.
Dooku is my favorite Sith, because he is a fallen angel. To me he is a dark lord of the Sith capable of having his own Sith group. Dooku deserved a clone wars live action movie, it would’ve helped to flesh out his role and power in all of this.
I've always found it interesting how Dooku accepted the teachings of the Sith while never fully abandoning the teachings of the Jedi. He believes in self-control and dispassion while accepting that people have negative emotions for a reason and need to use them from time to time. He's the kind of Sith I would be, not the most conventional or traditional.
Dooku is the worst case of a betrayed traytor, On Bogden he offered immortallity to an immortal, as the running boy of an immortal. Boba wouldn´t be a clone but the original like Ky Narec, Temuera Morrison or Dar Salim. Django and Palpatine knew this before. Palpatine pretends to know why he himself is immortal, but he doesn´t know. Vader doesn´t want to be a clone, Padme having been a clone. Yoda dreams of the end of the clone wars, no matter what galaxy, all history, nothing else it is! No more, no less!
He was probably the only sith who wasn’t fully committed to the dark side, he had even imagined of destroying the sith but knew the only way to do so was to tap into the dark side of the force
1:05:18 One thing I love about this fight is how well Dooku understands his opponents. He keeps Anakin, a practitioner of aggressive lightsaber combat, and Kenobi, the Defense master, is forced to be on the offensive. That in combination with his combat proficiency made a brilliant coreography there.
Can we appreciate the fact that the Clone Wars series made Dooku an even bigger badass than he was in episodes 2 & 3? Every time he's in action, he absolutely dominates.
@@thomasthetank827 With only 10 minutes Mr.Lee stripped the charcter's complexity to its fullest: an upstanding gentleman, borrowing darkness with a blunt believe for good In Tcw he's just a murderous political figure. Good depiction for Tyranus, but poorly executed for the character a a whole

@@sharpspoon7371 I believe that Attack of Clones was Peak Dooku. Age and DS degradation began to weak him slowly over the course of the war while Obi and Ani Became more Skilled and Powerful though I could be wrong about the Dooku one.

Clone Wars Dooku was alot more openly villainous. As a result he felt far less complicated as a character and more like your standard villain which is one of the things I disliked about the show. That said they did give him a few good fight scenes.
roles: Count Dooku serves as the main antagonist of Episode 2 Attack of the Clones, the 2008 movie Clones Wars and its 2008-2020 television series (apart from Palpatine) being the main antagonist of Seasons 1, 3 and 4 a major antagonist in seasons 2 and 5, the secondary antagonist from season 6 and a posthumous / mentioned antagonist in season 7 and a minor but pivotal antagonist in episode 3 Revenge of the Siths He is the arch-enemy of Anakin Skywalker during the clone wars
Edit: This post is an extremely outdated perception of Dooku. Some comments helped enlighten me about his lighter side seen in Episode II. But the recently added Tales of the Jedi mini-series has three episodes focused on Count Dooku's time as a Jedi. I need to reevaluate my thoughts on him but do yourself a favor and watch Tales of the Jedi. The Ahsoka Episodes are good, but Dooku is clearly the highlight. It's so fucking goooood. Outdated: Dooku is a character who I think became very interesting with the context of the Clone Wars. With only episodes 2 and 3 of the Prequel movies, he is a forgettable character who is only really seen as an obstacle and inconvenience for Anakin. But now, Dooku's involvement in the Clone Wars has shaped him to be one of the most warmongering, deceiving, and vile people in the Clone Wars. And yet, he was arguably the biggest fool in the galactic chessboard Sidious had laid out. With the numerous times, Dooku and Anakin fought, their last duel is so much more impactful for me and slightly tragic for the old man. The ROTS novel handled it really well. He's become one of my favorite villains in Star Wars.
As you said, the show built on him more. However, I can say that one thing that will never be forgettable about the character in the movies at least to me is Christopher Lee (Saruman) being a Sith Lord who can shoot Sith Lightning! The character was sort of explained and built up in attack of the clones (The Basics of being a fallen Jedi who found the senate corrupt able) but it wasn’t enough. Dooku needed more scenes.
Dooku wasn't forgettable in the prequels. I liked him even before watching the clone wars. Any character played by Christopher Lee aint forgettable Also the number of times they fought in TCW makes Anakin's line "My powers have doubled since the last we met" sound stupid.
@@sarveshnathan7559 perhaps, but a period of time where the two protagonists never encounter the two main antagonists of the war wouldn't be the greatest watching
I haven't watched the prequels as an adult yet, but jesus, within Dooku's first scene, he's immediately right. makes his death more tragic, knowing the truth.
I just realized something: some say that the clones were unable to attack Dooku, as he was a Sith Lord. So I checked through the scenes in this video, and discovered something intriguing: Dooku NEVER encounters clones in person, except for two times, throughout the war! The first time is in AOTC, when the clone gunship is chasing him, and in response to being told to attack Dooku, the pilot says, “we’re out of rockets”. Someone once pointed out that you can actually see the ship still has rockets on the wings. The ONLY other occurrence I could find of Dooku personally fighting or confronting clones was in Yoda’s vision in season six, the same one where Anakin kills Dooku prematurely and Yoda battles Sidious. The clones do fire on Dooku here, but as this was a vision, I believe the Sith could manipulate the events that occurred. In other words, whether or not the clones attacked Dooku in the vision has no bearing on whether the real clones would. The only exception I can think of, I’m not 100% certain about, but he might have encountered Kix in person, when interrogating him. I’d need to double-check. I find it super strange and unusual that Dooku has such an aversion to fighting clones, and almost seems to purposefully plan where he locates himself so he will never encounter clones.
I'm happy to see him more in the Clone Wars than he was in Episodes 2 and 3. He was seen as a powerful darkside user but we never got to see how powerful. In the Clone Wars, we see he's powerful, elegant, calm and collected, not to mention intelligent in the way he fights and goes about things. Edit: we did see how strong he was at the end of Attack of the Clones and briefly at the start of Revenge of the Sith; I mostly mean we didn’t get to see much than a couple of quicker battles.
"He was seen as a powerful darkside user but we never got to see how powerful" Literally destroyed Anakin and Obi Wan in a fight and stalemated Yoda, and destroyed Obi-Wan in ROTS What?
He's even more powerful than most think. Near unbeatable during the clone wars. The canon novel dark disciple teaches us that the only way to defeat tyranus (as a jedi) is to tap into anger, fear and hatred
@@sarveshnathan7559 but that was short, while correct in how that does show how strong he is. We didn’t get to see it much is my point. In Clone Wars, we see a lot more of him and just how calculated he is. I worded what I said poorly, so thank you for correcting me in my statement
I always loved how dooku held his lightsaber a fencing stance seems very apt for a count. I don't think I could ever imagine anyone else playing dooku.
It's one of those let-downs about TCW. With a couple of minutes Mr.Lee successfully conveyed the character complexity. Here they made him a stereotypical big-bad guy. Kind of sacrificing one character for the sake of the show. Overall it's stil great.
he wanted Savage to help him with that before Ventress turned him @@thomasthetank827 Sidious did find both Maul and Savage a threat which once Savage was eliminated along with the witch Talzin, he no longer cared at that point even after ordering the troops to eliminate Maul in the final episode of the clone wars finale
Dooku in the movies: A badass villain with some great one-liners Dooku in the Clone Wars: So evil that hitler would be rolling in his grave Dooku in Tales of the Jedi: Someone who's anger we can understand
1:24 I never get why obi Wan was foolish enough to never take this statement of dooku seriously. Force users can detect if someone is lying or not, and dooku was saying the truth, but obi wan denied it.
I hate to sound critical but Dooku's eyebrows are more darker than gray in Episodes 2, the 2003-2005 Clone Wars Volumes 1 & 2 and Episode 3 with lighter hair on his head and beard sort of like a very light gray and rounder. I love Christopher Lee's Count Dooku /Darth Tyranus the best. He would have been amazing to voice Dooku during the Clone Wars taking turns with Corey Burton per Season until Darth Tyranus's last appearance in the Clone Wars. I wish Christopher Lee were still alive. He would have had a better chance to celebrate 🥳 him entering the triple digits of being 100 on May 27th of this year. I guess anyone can wish him a happy 7th birthday in the afterlife on June 7th. That was the date of his passing. One of the best English actors in mankind's history!
Count Dooku: Geonosians doesnt trust bounty hunters Obi wan: is that so? Geonosians after realizing that Republic Troopers are clone after a Bounty Hunter: I F**King knew it!..
Wow, for some reason the final scene in this video hits different after watching it the whole way through, along with Tales of the Jedi. You really see how he wanted to do good for the galaxy but his ideals were perverted by the dark side until he became a pawn. In thinking that destroying the Jedi would pave way for a better future, he is horrified to see that Sidious had no intention of pursuing such a route and was more than willing to discard him once Anakin was all his. This is a gross simplification of it, but for a “diplomat” known for using his words to demean his foes, it is fitting he goes out in complete silence.
If Jabba and his criminal empire had joined the Separatists, would he have been destroyed by the Empire at the end of the war too? All of the Seppies were systematically conquered after the battle droids were decommissioned
Probably, but Palpatine really overlooked the criminal under world until Maul showed up. One of the few times he seemed genuinely caught off guard was when Cad Bane held the Senate hostage, so I doubt he even considered involving the Hutts. Edit: before the war began that is (I kind of just forgot the plot of the Clone Wars movie). It seems like the issuse of the hyperspace routs became more clear when the war began, that's why he didn't contact them before that.
@@sebastianoleary2743 Agreed, he didn't even go after Maul until he'd already gotten the Death Watch, Pyke Syndicate, Black Sun, and Hutts on his side. To me it kinda seems like Palpatine NEVER talked to crime-lords or gangsters at all and always had someone else talk to them on his behalf, namely Maul and Dooku. If he had no contact with any actual crime organizations then ig it makes sense he was blindsided, but like come on it's Palpatine, he'd have accounted for everything. Though Plagueis' death clouded his vision so he felt Darth Maul "die" instead of being in grave danger like Anakin on Mustafar. It makes sense that he kind of allied Jabba after Order 66, since I do believe there was a Hutt representative in the Banking Clan that knows that both Hego Demask is Plagueis and Palpatine is Sidious so maybe he didn't want to test it. Edit: I think the Senate hostage job was what made Palpatine consider Cad Bane for so many jobs, especially because he had no idea about it since the Hutts organized it, it probably impressed him.

roles: Count Dooku serves as the main antagonist of Episode 2 Attack of the Clones, the 2008 movie Clones Wars and its 2008-2020 television series (apart from Palpatine) being the main antagonist of Seasons 1, 3 and 4 a major antagonist in seasons 2 and 5, the secondary antagonist from season 6 and a posthumous / mentioned antagonist in season 7 and a minor but pivotal antagonist in episode 3 Revenge of the Siths
He is the arch-enemy of Anakin Skywalker during the clone wars
Anyone else notice the B1 on the right waiving goodbye to dooku as he leaves him on the ship at 19:09?
“Bye, I’m about to die!”
Info that’s adorable 😂
“The Jedi are never that harsh on their clones”
23:08 Dooku just beat that guy while shackled up, with just 2 hits!😆
He was probably venting out his frustration on having to put up with Anakin and Obi Wan's antics.
Edit: This post is an extremely outdated perception of Dooku. Some comments helped enlighten me about his lighter side seen in Episode II. But the recently added Tales of the Jedi mini-series has three episodes focused on Count Dooku's time as a Jedi. I need to reevaluate my thoughts on him but do yourself a favor and watch Tales of the Jedi. The Ahsoka Episodes are good, but Dooku is clearly the highlight. It's so fucking goooood.
Outdated:
Dooku is a character who I think became very interesting with the context of the Clone Wars. With only episodes 2 and 3 of the Prequel movies, he is a forgettable character who is only really seen as an obstacle and inconvenience for Anakin. But now, Dooku's involvement in the Clone Wars has shaped him to be one of the most warmongering, deceiving, and vile people in the Clone Wars. And yet, he was arguably the biggest fool in the galactic chessboard Sidious had laid out.
With the numerous times, Dooku and Anakin fought, their last duel is so much more impactful for me and slightly tragic for the old man. The ROTS novel handled it really well. He's become one of my favorite villains in Star Wars.
clone wars did that for a lot of characters. grievous, maul, dooku, hell even anakin and obiwan
Oooh “Biggest fool in the galactic chessboard Sidious had laid out” what a great line. Also pretty sad that’s a major part of Dooku’s legacy
As you said, the show built on him more. However, I can say that one thing that will never be forgettable about the character in the movies at least to me is Christopher Lee (Saruman) being a Sith Lord who can shoot Sith Lightning! The character was sort of explained and built up in attack of the clones (The Basics of being a fallen Jedi who found the senate corrupt able) but it wasn’t enough. Dooku needed more scenes.
Dooku wasn't forgettable in the prequels.
I liked him even before watching the clone wars.
Any character played by Christopher Lee aint forgettable
Also the number of times they fought in TCW makes Anakin's line "My powers have doubled since the last we met" sound stupid.
@@sarveshnathan7559 perhaps, but a period of time where the two protagonists never encounter the two main antagonists of the war wouldn't be the greatest watching
I haven't watched the prequels as an adult yet, but jesus, within Dooku's first scene, he's immediately right. makes his death more tragic, knowing the truth.
(19:33) Dooku has awaken his inner general Grievous. 🤣
B1 Battle Droids: **Mass-produced because they are cheap**
Count Dooku: Those battle droids are expensive!
I just realized something: some say that the clones were unable to attack Dooku, as he was a Sith Lord. So I checked through the scenes in this video, and discovered something intriguing: Dooku NEVER encounters clones in person, except for two times, throughout the war!
The first time is in AOTC, when the clone gunship is chasing him, and in response to being told to attack Dooku, the pilot says, “we’re out of rockets”. Someone once pointed out that you can actually see the ship still has rockets on the wings.
The ONLY other occurrence I could find of Dooku personally fighting or confronting clones was in Yoda’s vision in season six, the same one where Anakin kills Dooku prematurely and Yoda battles Sidious. The clones do fire on Dooku here, but as this was a vision, I believe the Sith could manipulate the events that occurred. In other words, whether or not the clones attacked Dooku in the vision has no bearing on whether the real clones would.
The only exception I can think of, I’m not 100% certain about, but he might have encountered Kix in person, when interrogating him. I’d need to double-check.
I find it super strange and unusual that Dooku has such an aversion to fighting clones, and almost seems to purposefully plan where he locates himself so he will never encounter clones.
44:10 "Senator Amidalla I must regretfully inform you that Young Skywalker has been.. Detained, TORCHER?! I don know what you mean" lmao
Corey Burton loves voicing characters with lightning powers
1:08:40 - Look how Dooku's hair is fine then in the neck scene he looks bald on the top of his head, then after that it flip-flops on him being bald.
Lol
But Sir do we have time to watch an hour and ten minutes straight of Dooku?
Me: Some things are just that important.
Dooku a very underrated character, one of my favorites
Crazy how Dooku kept dropping hints to the Jedi about how he wasn’t in control of everything and that they were in danger
I'm happy to see him more in the Clone Wars than he was in Episodes 2 and 3. He was seen as a powerful darkside user but we never got to see how powerful. In the Clone Wars, we see he's powerful, elegant, calm and collected, not to mention intelligent in the way he fights and goes about things.
Edit: we did see how strong he was at the end of Attack of the Clones and briefly at the start of Revenge of the Sith; I mostly mean we didn’t get to see much than a couple of quicker battles.
"He was seen as a powerful darkside user but we never got to see how powerful"
Literally destroyed Anakin and Obi Wan in a fight and stalemated Yoda, and destroyed Obi-Wan in ROTS
What?
He's even more powerful than most think. Near unbeatable during the clone wars. The canon novel dark disciple teaches us that the only way to defeat tyranus (as a jedi) is to tap into anger, fear and hatred
@@sarveshnathan7559 but that was short, while correct in how that does show how strong he is. We didn’t get to see it much is my point. In Clone Wars, we see a lot more of him and just how calculated he is. I worded what I said poorly, so thank you for correcting me in my statement
23:08 bro I remember this scene being unexpectedly funny af💀
Bro smacked the shit out of that guy😂
@@sicksadworld765 While being stuck with Anakin and Obi Wan, who are doing one of their gag routines.
I just realized that dooku kicked the clones head at 1:04:00
Christopher lee : stunning look of superiority paired with the diplomatic voice and great acting straight legend 🔥💪🏾
I always loved how dooku held his lightsaber a fencing stance seems very apt for a count. I don't think I could ever imagine anyone else playing dooku.
The most underrated villain in all of star wars.
Villain?
@@basiosrasian225 He is a villain. That he had good intentions is something else.
@@Ratchet2431 HE WAS A VISIONARY! CUT DOWN IN HIS PRIME BY THE JEDI ENFORCERS.
I think antagonist would be a better word to describe him
Gotta love this guy
I want a dooku series. He is underrated
And who do you think is suitable to play him aside from Mr. Christopher?
@@martmandred9182 If you're talking about a Dooku origin story, for younger maybe Benedict Cumberbatch.
There will be more of Dooku's bacstory in tales of the jedi.
2:56 I think it’s pretty funny Dooku doesn’t take Coleman Trebor seriously enough to even go for his lightsaber.
How can a human have such a great voice, simply amazing.
Hard to believe dooku was quite merciful due to the fact his old allies were close allies but later began to not care
It's one of those let-downs about TCW. With a couple of minutes Mr.Lee successfully conveyed the character complexity. Here they made him a stereotypical big-bad guy.
Kind of sacrificing one character for the sake of the show. Overall it's stil great.
Who's here after watching Tales of the Jedi?
1:05:20 is probably one of my favourite dooku lines. The way he says it with such elegance and composure. Such a Classy man.
14:40 Tarkin moment
Corey totally nailed it
He...actually believed Obi Wan could help him overthrow Sidious...didn't he?
for sure. he wanted a dark disciple to eventually overthrow his master
he wanted Savage to help him with that before Ventress turned him @@thomasthetank827 Sidious did find both Maul and Savage a threat which once Savage was eliminated along with the witch Talzin, he no longer cared at that point even after ordering the troops to eliminate Maul in the final episode of the clone wars finale
My favourite Sith Lord and one of my favourite characters in all of Star Wars
“surely you can do better” -tyranus
I've been looking forward to this!
Twice the pride double the fall
While the cartoon had an art style it was going for, each character stayed true to how they looked in the movies, and then there's Count Dooku.
After Tales of the Jedi, this is something else.
Dooku in the movies: A badass villain with some great one-liners
Dooku in the Clone Wars: So evil that hitler would be rolling in his grave
Dooku in Tales of the Jedi: Someone who's anger we can understand
I like TCW Dooku, he is a badass.
18:50 that cut had me dead
1:24
I never get why obi Wan was foolish enough to never take this statement of dooku seriously. Force users can detect if someone is lying or not, and dooku was saying the truth, but obi wan denied it.
I hate to sound critical but Dooku's eyebrows are more darker than gray in Episodes 2, the 2003-2005 Clone Wars Volumes 1 & 2 and Episode 3 with lighter hair on his head and beard sort of like a very light gray and rounder. I love Christopher Lee's Count Dooku /Darth Tyranus the best. He would have been amazing to voice Dooku during the Clone Wars taking turns with Corey Burton per Season until Darth Tyranus's last appearance in the Clone Wars. I wish Christopher Lee were still alive. He would have had a better chance to celebrate 🥳 him entering the triple digits of being 100 on May 27th of this year. I guess anyone can wish him a happy 7th birthday in the afterlife on June 7th. That was the date of his passing. One of the best English actors in mankind's history!
Christopher Lee is such an amazing actor. I also love him as Saruman from LOTR.
agreed
Dooku relying on someone else: 😾. . Dooku doing it himself: 😼
Sir Christopher Lee is so classy!!!
I wish we got the son of dathomir and dark disciple we could got more dooku in clone wars
God the clone wars did such a good job fleshing out every prequel character
12:49 wow never thought dooku would laugh evily. Most sith lords except palpatine and maul never laugh.
*laughs in sith lord*
Dooku: "The Sith has bought the Republic! Lock, stock and barrel!"
Obi-wan: "Prove it."
Dooku: "...we have the receipts."
Count Dooku: Geonosians doesnt trust bounty hunters
Obi wan: is that so?
Geonosians after realizing that Republic Troopers are clone after a Bounty Hunter: I F**King knew it!..
Ahh yes, Master Dooku
Thanks my friend, Dooku is my favorite character
Gonk droid
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching :)
@@marcosvazquez5912 who wins in a fight dooku or gonk droid?🤔
Well, if we’re in the lego Star Wars the complete saga then gonk droid can sd
Wow, for some reason the final scene in this video hits different after watching it the whole way through, along with Tales of the Jedi. You really see how he wanted to do good for the galaxy but his ideals were perverted by the dark side until he became a pawn. In thinking that destroying the Jedi would pave way for a better future, he is horrified to see that Sidious had no intention of pursuing such a route and was more than willing to discard him once Anakin was all his. This is a gross simplification of it, but for a “diplomat” known for using his words to demean his foes, it is fitting he goes out in complete silence.
the classiest sith next to darth revan in all of star wars history.
Dooku’s is far classier than Revan.
One of the best Sith Lords in all of Star Wars.
Christopher Lee is such legendary actor. Rest in Peace
6:54 he did the famous yoda yell
Favorite Sith Lord
The best scene of dooku 38:49 and 1:05:43
Count Dooku: Master...
Palpatine: Silence!
Count Dooku: Never! My allegiance is to you, my lord.
18:11
"Oops"
If Jabba and his criminal empire had joined the Separatists, would he have been destroyed by the Empire at the end of the war too? All of the Seppies were systematically conquered after the battle droids were decommissioned
Probably, but Palpatine really overlooked the criminal under world until Maul showed up. One of the few times he seemed genuinely caught off guard was when Cad Bane held the Senate hostage, so I doubt he even considered involving the Hutts.
Edit: before the war began that is (I kind of just forgot the plot of the Clone Wars movie). It seems like the issuse of the hyperspace routs became more clear when the war began, that's why he didn't contact them before that.
@@sebastianoleary2743 Agreed, he didn't even go after Maul until he'd already gotten the Death Watch, Pyke Syndicate, Black Sun, and Hutts on his side. To me it kinda seems like Palpatine NEVER talked to crime-lords or gangsters at all and always had someone else talk to them on his behalf, namely Maul and Dooku. If he had no contact with any actual crime organizations then ig it makes sense he was blindsided, but like come on it's Palpatine, he'd have accounted for everything. Though Plagueis' death clouded his vision so he felt Darth Maul "die" instead of being in grave danger like Anakin on Mustafar. It makes sense that he kind of allied Jabba after Order 66, since I do believe there was a Hutt representative in the Banking Clan that knows that both Hego Demask is Plagueis and Palpatine is Sidious so maybe he didn't want to test it.
Edit: I think the Senate hostage job was what made Palpatine consider Cad Bane for so many jobs, especially because he had no idea about it since the Hutts organized it, it probably impressed him.
Cory's Dooku is so relaxing to listen to. I love Christopher Lee, no doubt, but Cory is amazing in his own way
Dooku was only in AOTC for 7 MINUTES?
And like another 5 min in ep. 3 yet he’s a pretty major bad guy lol
Yep. His first appearance was in AOTC and he wasn’t even introduced until about halfway into the movie. Then died at the beginning of the next movie.
24:04
how to not win a war
Damn you Obi wan, Qui Gon is too dead to complain
The one thing the Clone Wars show didn’t have that AOTC and ROTS did was Christopher Lee. The Clone Wars Movie did bring him back at least.
1:05:58 If only Obi Wan actually paid attention to that conversation back in Geonosis and took Dooku's word for it.
Just like before the original upload
I've been looking forward to this
3:34 Didn't he commission the clones, along with Sifo-Dyas? Or is he faking because he's in front of the Voldemorts?
I’m not sure if he knew exactly when the clones would be used, but I’m sure he was mostly faking
He was faking, check out the ending of the Jango Fett Bounty Hunter game and you’ll see Dooku recruit Jango to be the clone template
Dooku was playing it up to hide the fact that this war was engineered by him and Sideous.
@@justinumeda That Jango Fett Bounty Hunter game is not canon anymore. In case you don't know, Disney decanonise all previous Star Wars materials except the Original Trilogy, Prequel Trilogy and The Clone Wars.
Voldemorts 😂
He got drip 💧. Try not to get soaked
Count Dooku would have sensed Obi Wan IMMEDIATELY
not necessarily. he didn't pick up on windu or even ventresss (in dark disciple) it took him some time to feel her presence, and that was his former apprentice
I wish dooku has note screen time in films. He was a great character
Indeed it was a shame he wasn't used more in the movies it would have been amazing
