Palpatine really hit two birds with one stone with Qui Gon's death. Anakin lost a father figure that he badly needed, while Dooku lost what last anchor he had with the Light side.
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.
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.
@@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
It’s so cool how We see qui gon talking to dooku about how talented obi wan is. Then in attack of the clones dooku says “master kenobi you disappoint me, qui gon holds you in such high esteem” Full circle.
@@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 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.
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
Dooku truly had good intentions in the beginning. Unlike other Jedi, he saw the corruption going through the Republic and how it was hurting it's citizens but unfortunately, Sidious used that as a means of manipulating Dooku for his own evil agenda.
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.
'Dooku walked along the beach of an alien sea in the cool night air. He noticed a small seashell upon the sand. Remembering the shells he would place to his ear and listen to as a child and the joy he would feel upon hearing the sea in the shell he paused to consider it. Not entirely sure why, he picked it up and cupped it to one ear...expecting to hear...he knew not what, some profound truth or something vitally important he might have once known or felt... But there was nothing. Either the shell was different, the sea...or he was. Perhaps something in him had broken beyond all repair... Frowning, he crushed the shell into powder, let the dust blow away in the wind and walked back to camp.'- from Yoda Dark Rendezvous
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.
Paarthurnax once said "Which is better, To be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" I would like to offer the counter argument: Which is more tragic; an individual raised to be evil, or one raised to be good only to be stripped of everything and pushed into darkness at their lowest point?"
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
I now truly understand why Dooku turned to the dark side. He despised the senate for using the Jedi as political tools in their quest for dominance & power & for causing Qui Gon Jin's death
@@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
@@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.
Dooku is literally so slept on in his badassery. It's that "regal" and "signature look of superiority" that gets me. The dark lord is almost always, calm, composed, condescending, and cunning, ever so focused and powerful.
“The Jedi blindly serve a corrupt senate that fails the republic it represents.” “We serve the people of *THIS* republic.” “The Jedi are supposed to protect the Galaxy and yet we remove ourselves from it. Cut ourselves out.” “There is a cloud around me now.Around all of us. It's like a sickness, a fever in the blood.War everywhere.Cruelty.Killing, and some in my name. Blood like rain. I feel it all the time, the cries of the dying in the Force, beating in me like a vein about to burst. I am tired,Master. So tired. And like any old man,I long to go home.” “I told you everything you needed to know on Genosis,Kenobi.” “Blind we are.”
“At the time I thought Dooku was an old fool. But now, now I see he and I are the same. One step behind. The dark side has never been stronger.” -Maul after learning about Dooku’s death
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.
This is the death of Count Dooku. A starburst of clarity blossoms within Anakin Skywalker’s mind when he discovers that the fear within his heart can be a weapon too. It is that simple, and that complex. And it is final. Dooku is dead already. The rest is mere detail. And he knows, then, that all this has indeed been going according to plan. This had been a Jedi trap, indeed, but the Jedi were not the quarry. They were the bait. And as he kneels before Anakin Skywalker, Count Dooku knows that he has been deceived, not just today, but for many... many years. That he has never been the true apprentice. That he has never been the heir to the power of the Sith. He has been only a tool. His whole life-all his victories, all his struggles, all his heritage, all his principles and his sacrifices, everything he’s done, everything he owns, everything he’s been, all his dreams and grand vision for the future Empire and the Army of Sith - have been only a pathetic sham. Because all of them, all of him, add up only to this. He has existed only for this. To be the victim of Anakin Skywalker’s first cold-blooded murder. The boy's first but, as Dooku looks up into the clear pristine clarity of his eyes, certainly not the last. Then the blades crossed at his throat uncross like scissors. Snip. And all of him... becomes nothing at all.
There was one thing that Dooku commented to Yaddle. He admitted to her that he was afraid. It actually takes courage for a person like him to admit that. I'm thankful Tales of the Jedi did a fantastic job in showing his backstory and why he went down the path that he did.
Damn that was quick! Awesome edit and an interesting character for sure. Even sad how he turned, even though he became more dark and reckless later on.
Dooku is honestly one of my favorites now. He remindes me of Severus Snape but in here Dooku fully joined the dark side and was not a double agent. The stories of someone like Dooku and Anakin just show that great villians once were great heroes
I think this is probably one of, if not, *_THE_* best tributes to Count Dooku I've seen on the platform. You've really excelled in showing the dichotomy of his personality: on the one hand, he is Lord Tyranus, Dark Lord of the Sith, leader of the Separatist Alliance, and an arch manipulator, able to sway many to his cause through either subtle threats or putting the right pawns in place where and when he needs them. Of course, we all know there is one being who controls even him, but to everyone else, Dooku is either a threat to the Galaxy as a whole, or a hero taking a stand against *_"A corrupt Senate which fails the Republic it represents."_* On the other hand, you also displayed perfectly that that was not always, and in someways possibly was never, Dooku's orginal goal. In the end, under all the refined elegance he displayed, by the end of his life The Count was a broken man. Its possible that he never really got over the death of his apprentice (eg essentially son) Qui-Gon, and in some twisted sense of morality, thought that he would try to create something better than the Republic, that would truly represent the people of the Galaxy, as some sick tribute to his former Padawan. In the end though, it doesn't matter. Dooku was just what every other living being was to Sidious: *_a pawn._* To be used and disposed of when not required anymore. I don't know. Those are just my thoughts. I've rambled on long enough. Just thought I'd say I really enjoyed this as more love for Dooku is always appreciated. Thanks :)
An underrrated and finally understood character. Count Dooku much like Anakin were pawns to a corrupt senate and Jedi council and would stray from the light
0:50 “Dooku. Whatever your crimes are,help me now.” “Kill him.” “Kill her.” “ *DO IT* “ “Remember what you told me,… “You serve the senate.” “No.” …the Jedi blindly serve a corrupt senate,that fails the republic it represents.” “We serve the *people* of this republic.”
I like the stark contrast between Dooku in ToTJ and Dooku in TCW. It really shows how he was corrupted by the darkness. He ran to the darkness to fighter off corruption, and because of Sidious’s manipulation, he succumbed to the very corruption he sought to destroy.
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.
This is why I love Star Wars, a story on a scale that is at once grand and intimate. Great political forces have human costs and play out in individual lives, loves, tragedies. Count Dooku’s story and your video capture that so well, and we couldn’t have had a better man to bring him to life than Christopher Lee and the voice actors and artists he inspired. Great work! ❤ This was artfully done.
Amazing edit. I’ve never seen your channel before. I’ve only ever seen 1 or 2 decent tributes for Dooku. This by far has been the best one. The new scenes have really helped given some much needed back story in canon for the fall of Dooku into Tyranus
Dooku has really come along way in my eyes. When I was a kid he was little more than a Saturday morning cartoon villain and his death in Revenge of the Sith was funny to me. Now as an adult he's one of my favorite Star Wars characters and Tales of the Jedi made his story all the more tragic.
This has to be the best Count Dooku tribute video I’ve seen yet! Also I’ve been a fan of Count Dooku since episode 2 aftc!!! I’ve always wanted to see more of him when he was a Jedi, well I got my wish. 😊 I hope in the future he can get his own show!!!
“You serve the senate.” “No, we serve the *people* of this republic.” Perfect example of “good soldiers follow orders” and response of “Good men question them.” 1:00
I feel like Dooku actually overall was a good man, it’s just that he was constantly getting infected with the fake dreams and promises Sidious promised. I’m the end he helped created a galactic order ideology he was against
This was outstanding, thank you! Dooku has always been one of my favorite characters as he was more complex than most everyone else in Star Wars. Not totally good in the beginning, not totally evil when he fell. Never got the yellow sith eyes. He deserves his own film imo. Great job dude. 😎👍
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl No I guess I missed that! Didn’t realize their eyes can go back & forth. Was it from the last season? I’m still working my way through it…
He is indeed a good man. Just forced to fight his friends for different value. Like the Revenge of the Sith opening said, "There are heroes on both sides"
I always felt that dooku had the second best reason for becoming a sith the order he once thought highly of and served under had become nothing more than the enforcers of a corrupt government, the same order that became so complacent that they willingly ignored all the warning signs that brought them down in the end, and the same order who's willful ignorance got his former padwan killed and tried to cover up what killed him
Dooku always felt like the most unique of the prequel villains and I’m so glad that 23 years later he was shown as more than just a villain, he was a man who was lost and dedicated himself to the path he chose despite knowing very well he was doing evil.
This is an Incredible Masterpiece For My All Time Favorite Role For Christopher Lee and My Fifth Favorite Antagonist’s in Star Wars. Christopher Lee was a Legendary Actor made Dooku into one of The Most Sympathetic Villains in Star Wars and Corey Burton is a Phenomenal Successor for Christopher Lee Making us Believe that Christopher Lee is Still With Us. Rest in Peace Sir Christopher Frank Carandini Lee My Seventh Favorite Actor of All Time (1922-2015) Gone But Never Forgotten.
The fact that Anakin could only defeat him with a dishonorable move even when he was much older than Anakin and at the end of the war torn and exhausted speaks for just how much better a duel ist Dooku was than anyone else. He is the greatest duellist of all time.. no the strongest, not the best forcewielder.. but simply the greatest due list. There is one particular scene in the clone wars in which he fights Anakin and Obi and forces Anakin into Defense and Obi into Offenes the whole fight and that is just marvellous choreograph and testament to his skill.
Dooku was a good man who just made a bad decision through his grief and pain and couldn’t see that the emperor was just manipulating his pain for his goals after wondered what would’ve happened if Dooku got the seat instead of mace Windu
Count Dooku. Lived as a Jedi Council Master Master of Qui-Gon Jin Superior to everybody at the Academy save for Yoda, whom he was equal to Became Darth Tyranus, lord of the Sith, without ever succumbing to the Dark Side fully as indicated by his immunity to Sora Bulq's use of Vaapad against him Destroyed Jedi Master Obi-Wan and Padawan Skywalker with incredible ease at age 80 before stalemating Yoda again Destroyed three invisible Nightsisters including Asaj Ventress while being taken unaware in his sleep and literally being poisoned with a killer serum that turned him blind at age 82 Destroyed Savage Opress and Asaj Ventress simultaneously at age 82 Died at age 83 against Anakin Skywalker from fatigue because of age and spanking Obi-Wan again Portrayed by the great Sir Christopher Lee, the man who inspired the character of James Bond, and also ironically played a Bond villain in The Man With The Golden Gun. What a legend.
I'm glad they gave him a backstory and his fall to the Dark Side. It was kind of similar to Anakin in a way, he was broken. The council didn't listen to him and he lost his padawan Qui-Gon
I also do freelance work for video editing, you can contact me here: panosdks22@gmail.com
Palpatine really hit two birds with one stone with Qui Gon's death. Anakin lost a father figure that he badly needed, while Dooku lost what last anchor he had with the Light side.
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
Tales of the Jedi should’ve been a Count Dooku series of at least 20 episodes. Dooku has so much story potential. His life was fascinating.
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.
Christopher lee relly was the best actor portraying him

Then in attack of the clones dooku says “master kenobi you disappoint me, qui gon holds you in such high esteem”

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

Those three episodes were a breath of fresh air but they kind of felt like a short version of what should have been a full Dooku dedicated show.
@@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)

since tales of the jedi series it had made Dooku one of my top 5 favourite star wars characters
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.
“Twice the pride, double the fall”
Perfect sentence that imo highlights Dooku’s character.
Dooku truly had good intentions in the beginning. Unlike other Jedi, he saw the corruption going through the Republic and how it was hurting it's citizens but unfortunately, Sidious used that as a means of manipulating Dooku for his own evil agenda.
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.
'Dooku walked along the beach of an alien sea in the cool night air. He noticed a small seashell upon the sand. Remembering the shells he would place to his ear and listen to as a child and the joy he would feel upon hearing the sea in the shell he paused to consider it. Not entirely sure why, he picked it up and cupped it to one ear...expecting to hear...he knew not what, some profound truth or something vitally important he might have once known or felt...
But there was nothing.
Either the shell was different, the sea...or he was. Perhaps something in him had broken beyond all repair...
Frowning, he crushed the shell into powder, let the dust blow away in the wind and walked back to camp.'- from Yoda Dark Rendezvous
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.
Paarthurnax once said "Which is better, To be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" I would like to offer the counter argument: Which is more tragic; an individual raised to be evil, or one raised to be good only to be stripped of everything and pushed into darkness at their lowest point?"
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]
A real Maul vs Dooku argument
These episodes have really given so much potential for Dooku edits. Makes you appreciate him more. He is underrated.
I still want a 5 season Dooku series lol
When you realize Dooku was *just like Anakin* trying to save the republic but was twisted by evil and Darth Sidious
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.
I now truly understand why Dooku turned to the dark side. He despised the senate for using the Jedi as political tools in their quest for dominance & power & for causing Qui Gon Jin's death
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

@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.
i really felt for dooku these eps ngl
Dooku is literally so slept on in his badassery. It's that "regal" and "signature look of superiority" that gets me. The dark lord is almost always, calm, composed, condescending, and cunning, ever so focused and powerful.
“The Jedi blindly serve a corrupt senate that fails the republic it represents.”
“We serve the people of *THIS* republic.”
“The Jedi are supposed to protect the Galaxy and yet we remove ourselves from it. Cut ourselves out.”
“There is a cloud around me now.Around all of us. It's like a sickness, a fever in the blood.War everywhere.Cruelty.Killing, and some in my name. Blood like rain. I feel it all the time, the cries of the dying in the Force, beating in me like a vein about to burst. I am tired,Master. So tired. And like any old man,I long to go home.”
“I told you everything you needed to know on Genosis,Kenobi.”
“Blind we are.”
Damn these are good lines.
@@TheInfintyithGoofball right
It was really sad.
And very much understanding of Count going towards dark side.
I still want a 5 season Dooku series lol
“At the time I thought Dooku was an old fool. But now, now I see he and I are the same. One step behind. The dark side has never been stronger.” -Maul after learning about Dooku’s death
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.
One of the most underrated characters in the series/saga.
This is the death of Count Dooku.
A starburst of clarity blossoms within Anakin Skywalker’s mind when he discovers that the fear within his heart can be a weapon too.
It is that simple, and that complex.
And it is final.
Dooku is dead already.
The rest is mere detail.
And he knows, then, that all this has indeed been going according to plan.
This had been a Jedi trap, indeed, but the Jedi were not the quarry.
They were the bait.
And as he kneels before Anakin Skywalker, Count Dooku knows that he has been deceived, not just today, but for many... many years.
That he has never been the true apprentice.
That he has never been the heir to the power of the Sith.
He has been only a tool.
His whole life-all his victories, all his struggles, all his heritage, all his principles and his sacrifices, everything he’s done, everything he owns, everything he’s been, all his dreams and grand vision for the future Empire and the Army of Sith - have been only a pathetic sham.
Because all of them, all of him, add up only to this.
He has existed only for this.
To be the victim of Anakin Skywalker’s first cold-blooded murder.
The boy's first but, as Dooku looks up into the clear pristine clarity of his eyes, certainly not the last.
Then the blades crossed at his throat uncross like scissors.
Snip.
And all of him... becomes nothing at all.
Damn
Matthew Stover!
Wow…that was awesome! Thanks for posting this dude. 😎👍

Such an underrated character and duellist.
There was one thing that Dooku commented to Yaddle. He admitted to her that he was afraid. It actually takes courage for a person like him to admit that. I'm thankful Tales of the Jedi did a fantastic job in showing his backstory and why he went down the path that he did.
I love the edit where Obi-Wan says "its ought to be here-"
"Kamino Location deleted."
"- But it isn't."
Damn that was quick! Awesome edit and an interesting character for sure. Even sad how he turned, even though he became more dark and reckless later on.
Dooku became one of my favorites after seeing how tragic his story truly is
Epic tribute. Really enjoyed the song choice and editing. Keep up the great work.
Dooku is honestly one of my favorites now. He remindes me of Severus Snape but in here Dooku fully joined the dark side and was not a double agent.
The stories of someone like Dooku and Anakin just show that great villians once were great heroes
Dooku always been that dude. Glad to see him finally get his due with more fans.
Twice the pride, double the fall
Its hard to see a once good man fall.
I think this is probably one of, if not, *_THE_* best tributes to Count Dooku I've seen on the platform. You've really excelled in showing the dichotomy of his personality: on the one hand, he is Lord Tyranus, Dark Lord of the Sith, leader of the Separatist Alliance, and an arch manipulator, able to sway many to his cause through either subtle threats or putting the right pawns in place where and when he needs them. Of course, we all know there is one being who controls even him, but to everyone else, Dooku is either a threat to the Galaxy as a whole, or a hero taking a stand against *_"A corrupt Senate which fails the Republic it represents."_* On the other hand, you also displayed perfectly that that was not always, and in someways possibly was never, Dooku's orginal goal. In the end, under all the refined elegance he displayed, by the end of his life The Count was a broken man. Its possible that he never really got over the death of his apprentice (eg essentially son) Qui-Gon, and in some twisted sense of morality, thought that he would try to create something better than the Republic, that would truly represent the people of the Galaxy, as some sick tribute to his former Padawan. In the end though, it doesn't matter. Dooku was just what every other living being was to Sidious: *_a pawn._* To be used and disposed of when not required anymore. I don't know. Those are just my thoughts. I've rambled on long enough. Just thought I'd say I really enjoyed this as more love for Dooku is always appreciated. Thanks :)
🙏🙏
Yaddle speaking in complete sentences means that Yoda was trolling the whole time.
or she was trolling
we may never know 😶🌫️
Yaddle was significantly younger than Yoda. The implication, I think, is that Yoda is speaking a way more archaic variety of Galactic Basic.
Dooku is the embodiment of the path to hell being paved with good intentions
An underrrated and finally understood character. Count Dooku much like Anakin were pawns to a corrupt senate and Jedi council and would stray from the light
0:50
“Dooku. Whatever your crimes are,help me now.”
“Kill him.”
“Kill her.”
“ *DO IT* “
“Remember what you told me,…

“We serve the *people* of this republic.”
Amazing work bro, really emotional first part
I like the stark contrast between Dooku in ToTJ and Dooku in TCW. It really shows how he was corrupted by the darkness. He ran to the darkness to fighter off corruption, and because of Sidious’s manipulation, he succumbed to the very corruption he sought to destroy.
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.
Like always you never disappoint :) at making such beautifule edits Legend And expecialy with one of my favorites villain in star wars
@A21-EDITS ikr it's kind hard make this edits
Dooku is my favourite canon modern character. This is easily the greatest star wars compellation I have ever seen. Thank you so much for making this.
This is why I love Star Wars, a story on a scale that is at once grand and intimate. Great political forces have human costs and play out in individual lives, loves, tragedies. Count Dooku’s story and your video capture that so well, and we couldn’t have had a better man to bring him to life than Christopher Lee and the voice actors and artists he inspired.
Great work! ❤ This was artfully done.
Love this comment, appreciate you🙌
Dooku is one of my fave characters. I am so glad to see him get his due credit and attention.
Amazing edit. I’ve never seen your channel before. I’ve only ever seen 1 or 2 decent tributes for Dooku. This by far has been the best one. The new scenes have really helped given some much needed back story in canon for the fall of Dooku into Tyranus
Glad you enjoyed it mate
@@panosdks Would you like to upload the video of Peter Jackson's King Kong?
The only thing I dislike about this video is that as a diehard Dooku fan I was this late to it. Good job on the edit!
“They had us in the first half ngl”
Oh god i love it! Dooku always was one of my favourites characters but now after tales of the jedi this is on another level.
Amazing character, so glad we got more of him!!
"I will deal with this dude personally"...teammates start rolling their sleeves up
Dooku has really come along way in my eyes. When I was a kid he was little more than a Saturday morning cartoon villain and his death in Revenge of the Sith was funny to me. Now as an adult he's one of my favorite Star Wars characters and Tales of the Jedi made his story all the more tragic.
This has to be the best Count Dooku tribute video I’ve seen yet! Also I’ve been a fan of Count Dooku since episode 2 aftc!!! I’ve always wanted to see more of him when he was a Jedi, well I got my wish. 😊 I hope in the future he can get his own show!!!
“You serve the senate.”
“No, we serve the *people* of this republic.”
Perfect example of “good soldiers follow orders” and response of “Good men question them.” 1:00
I feel like Dooku actually overall was a good man, it’s just that he was constantly getting infected with the fake dreams and promises Sidious promised.
I’m the end he helped created a galactic order ideology he was against
This was outstanding, thank you! Dooku has always been one of my favorite characters as he was more complex than most everyone else in Star Wars. Not totally good in the beginning, not totally evil when he fell. Never got the yellow sith eyes. He deserves his own film imo. Great job dude. 😎👍
He did have Sith eyes in the Clone Wars series but only when he really got pissed off. Did you not see the shot where his eyes turned red?
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl No I guess I missed that! Didn’t realize their eyes can go back & forth. Was it from the last season? I’m still working my way through it…

The more time passes with the Count. The more outstanding the performance of Christopher Lee. Really represent him . R.I.P wise man.
He is indeed a good man. Just forced to fight his friends for different value.
Like the Revenge of the Sith opening said, "There are heroes on both sides"
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.
Wow this is the most complete and best Dooku tribute yet. I love it
I always felt that dooku had the second best reason for becoming a sith the order he once thought highly of and served under had become nothing more than the enforcers of a corrupt government, the same order that became so complacent that they willingly ignored all the warning signs that brought them down in the end, and the same order who's willful ignorance got his former padwan killed and tried to cover up what killed him
It is disappointing that the Jedi would not listen to him. The Jedi did lose their way and the senate was corrupt. The Jedi were too blind to see that
He was underrated
The Count and Maul were the heroes that we didnt see at first
Dooku always felt like the most unique of the prequel villains and I’m so glad that 23 years later he was shown as more than just a villain, he was a man who was lost and dedicated himself to the path he chose despite knowing very well he was doing evil.
beautiful tribute to Count Dooku.
No one portraid count Dooku like sir Christopher lee ...it feels like he truly means it not just a job
Best fan made trailer I’ve ever seen bro
They really need to make a movie about Count Dooku, the man who lead the most powerful military in Star Wars history.
This is really a great edit. Big props! I watched so many times now. I don’t know why. But people like Dooku are the ones I always gravitated to.

Maul used to be my favourite Sith. After learning so much about Dooku, especially through Tales of the Jedi, I'm changing that asap
Exquisite montage, thank you.
Brilliant, brilliant, it's perfect
The fact that Anakin could only defeat him with a dishonorable move even when he was much older than Anakin and at the end of the war torn and exhausted speaks for just how much better a duel ist Dooku was than anyone else.
He is the greatest duellist of all time.. no the strongest, not the best forcewielder.. but simply the greatest due list. There is one particular scene in the clone wars in which he fights Anakin and Obi and forces Anakin into Defense and Obi into Offenes the whole fight and that is just marvellous choreograph and testament to his skill.
Count Dooku choose the correct path and fulfilled his destiny. A hero!
Dooku’s pain is so deep❤
Excellent edit
Dooku is really one of the best characters coming out of the prequels.
Very nicely done!
Rest In Peace Christopher Lee
Tales of the jedi really made me look at Dooku differently
This was SO cool! Love it

Count Dooku. Lived as a Jedi Council Master
Master of Qui-Gon Jin
Superior to everybody at the Academy save for Yoda, whom he was equal to
Became Darth Tyranus, lord of the Sith, without ever succumbing to the Dark Side fully as indicated by his immunity to Sora Bulq's use of Vaapad against him
Destroyed Jedi Master Obi-Wan and Padawan Skywalker with incredible ease at age 80 before stalemating Yoda again
Destroyed three invisible Nightsisters including Asaj Ventress while being taken unaware in his sleep and literally being poisoned with a killer serum that turned him blind at age 82
Destroyed Savage Opress and Asaj Ventress simultaneously at age 82
Died at age 83 against Anakin Skywalker from fatigue because of age and spanking Obi-Wan again
Portrayed by the great Sir Christopher Lee, the man who inspired the character of James Bond, and also ironically played a Bond villain in The Man With The Golden Gun.
What a legend.
Christopher Lee the Badass Actor Rip 🪦 his life
I'm glad they gave him a backstory and his fall to the Dark Side.
It was kind of similar to Anakin in a way, he was broken.
The council didn't listen to him and he lost his padawan Qui-Gon
