This scene really explains why Palpatine was so sure Luke would turn after he defeated Vader until he threw his lightsaber away. If he can get Jedi as wise Dooku & as powerful as Anakin to start the path down the Dark Side after killing in cold blood as the result of a duel, why shouldn’t it have worked a third time.
You're right. That can also explain why he failed turning Luke. He turned Dooku because he had no hope and turned Anakin because he had fear but Luke has hope and no fear.
The bit where Yaddle lifts the door is perfection. Yaddle shakily lifting the door open with the force theme blasting in the background showing Yaddle's Jedi spirit. Palpatine cowering from the light and Dooku looking up at Yaddle with a remorseful look on his face. He knows that Yaddle is a good person and it's wrong to kill her but he thinks it's necessary for the betterment of the galaxy. Great scene, great show.
well and if he didn't kill her, she would escape and tell everyone about their evil plot lol It was sadly the way it had to be. Once Dooku joined Sidious, he couldn't stop.
Ye but still who knows if Yaddle able to escape she might turn dooku in to the council along with sidious so thats why they have no choice but to kill yaddle or they will be exposed

But dooku could, he contemplated it and admired it with remorse. This was his last chance to choose the light but eventualy he chose the dark side, his choice represented by the door closing again, leaving him in darkness
@@alfredmehchi palp can fight yoda without being blinded by his light side so it makes a lot more sense that he was trying to cover his identity from yaddle.
That ending was perfect. Yaddle lifts doors with The Force Theme playing that symbolize hope, Sidious cover himself from light as he is pure evil without any light in his soul and Dooku watches that with remorseful look on his face knowing that things he did were evil despite he believes that he did them for greater good. Also when door closes and light disappears it could also symbolize Dooku full turn into dark side.
In the light all are exposed as who they truly are… Sidious cowered like the creature of Darkness that he is, Yaddle showed her courage and strength that could only be displayed in a True Jedi. And Dooku… Dooku was revealed to be what he’s always been… An old man full of regrets, crippled by desperation. A Lost Soul who thinks that he must do what he does out of necessity and the betterment of all… Too Blind to see that he had already been encapsulated by the very evil he sought to destroy…
You copied that dude's comment beat for beat and 400 people and the channel owner liked it. Such shameless clout chasing cringe has to be grudgingly respected for its success rate
I’ll never forget the face Dooku made when Sidious told Anakin to kill him. He really had no direction, no clear realistic end in sight and tales of the Jedi proved that. Just reacting to the situation around him at most thinking 3 or 4 steps ahead. When In reality Palpatine was thinking 101 steps ahead and to him Dooku was a dead man walking. Dooku failed himself and Qui-Gon. He could have changed everything right here brought true order and peace to the galaxy.
Welp, because he was dumb. When your master tells you that you should lose in order to sway the victor to the Dark Side, i. e. deliberately to put yourself at the disadvantage, it measn they want to get rid of you. Had Dooku fought Skywalker for real, there would have been no Vader.
@@Darthvegeta8000 True, but also Dooku is set up as the very public head of one side of the war. A side that is, increasingly, losing. What does he think will happen when the Republic wins? Just dumb as all hell.
That's just abiding to made-up Survivor rules. No wonder why their Order fell because they followed too much dogmatic BS rather than take off the gloves for once and get shit done quick & easy. Get their hands dirty so that the galaxy can stay clean. Who cares if it's "dishonorable" because they go for an unfair 0 skill advantage due to their height? It's war, and it's war over the fate of the galaxy. It's about who wins and loses. Doesn't matter how. Who cares about skill. This is why Anakin & Ahsoka pmuch carried the Republic in the war lol, cuz they didn't adhere to rules that made their kind weak. Imagine if Yoda said screw it & went for Dooku's legs in AotC? Clone War prob either woulda never started or would've been over way sooner than 3 years. Or just, if Yaddle went for Dooku's legs here lol. Both scenarios put a massive dampener on Palpatine's scheme and it woulda been gg.
@@plague6174 Part of the reason that Anakin kept being denied promotion to Master was that he tossed the rules of "Acceptable" Lightsaber combat and modified his techniques for surviving battlefields. He was deemed too uncivilized and immature a Jedi to be made a Master. Even if his accomplishment outstripped most Masters several times over.
@@plague6174you're acting like they wouldn't be able to block it anyways. Dueling as a force user means you can perceive attacks to any part of the body with the force and deflect it It's not "dogmatic" It's common sense
@@willisstillhere8846it's still also a much bigger pain in the ass do defend your legs against an opponent that small with a weapon that immediately dismember you upon touch. Defending your legs is just so much more awkward, and since legs are how someone presses forward with advantage, attacking them almost forces them to back away. That back peddling gives the opponent the advantage because now they have forward momentum and more freedom to be aggressive. Sure they have precognition, but it's still just flat out harder to defend your legs. Aldo precognition doesn't mean they always block 100% of attacks. If that was the case then nobody would die in duels
Yaddle didn't have much of a chance when Dooku made up his mind. Given her species and style you can tell she was raised in the order basically copying what had worked for Yoda. Dooku, in addition to being arguably the greatest duelist in the Order, had been Yoda's last padawan and knew his style well, reflected competently but imperfectly in Yaddle.
Not only that, like SIDIOUS was right there. Beating Dooku was long odds, but zero chance if Sidious felt the need to intervene Dis why you dont go alone to secret sith meetings
Yaddle's preferred fighting style actually seems to be Soresu rather than Ataru. Throughout most of the duel, she was fighting defensively and didn't leave the ground anywhere near as much as Yoda does. That's a great detail because it not only separates Yaddle from Yoda but also shows that although Ataru is the most efficient duelling style for such a small species, they can wield any lightsaber combat form effectively. Had she lived, Yaddle might have even surpassed Yoda in later life. She was better at conserving her energy for longer duels while Yoda was more focussed on ending a fight as quickly as possible, even if he exhausted himself in the process.
@@tomnorton4277true. The fight looked quite even when she was playing defense. But it’s when she went offense that dooku got the upper hand and forced her back to the door and tried to crush her with it
Subtle, but Palpatine’s little growl as it fades to the credits is just so. Damn. Cool. And it gives off the vibe that Dooku made a deal with the literal Star Wars embodiment of the devil.
George Lucas has said that, for all intents and purposes, Palpatine IS the Devil. Heck, Ian McDiarmid has said he's arguably even worse because at least Satan became evil over time. Palpatine was just born like that.
no wonder Palpatine think so highly of himself. He thrives off of causing Mass confusion and turning the most powerful Jedi to the darkside. To be right under the nose of the most intuitive intellectual beings known as Jedi and yet they can't see him. I'd be high on myself too.
Remember that the Sith have been extinct for 1000 years so not even Yoda knew what a Sith looked like. The Jedi didn't know what to expect. They've only learned about the Sith through text and stories but they were more familiar with fighting Pirates, Crime lords and other illegal organizations.
0:57 "It is you who has run Dooku, into the arms of Evil." Yaddle's got a point. Dooky deserved to be fed up with Jedi Council but that's not a reason to join their mortal enemies, who want nothing more than total opposite of everything Jedi stood for with full knowledge of what they were capable of. In the end, much like later Anakin, Dooku chose to believe in the sweet lies of Sith and their empires instead of bitter truths of Jedi and the Republic.
You're right but Dooku had his reasons too. Jedi ignored his warnings and were too involved in politics where they should be keepers of peace and help people. They were against their own principles that created Jedi Order. Dooku simply became pissed of that and then came Sidious who listened to him and agreed with his opinion. So yeah, no wonder that he decided to join somebody who agreed with him after years of being ignored. Sure I'm not saying that Dooku did right thing but he had his reasons too.
@@vvgr409 Jedi just simply thought that their job is handling thugs and terrorists (who use violence for their means). The corruption in the Republic is in their mind something that should be dealt with by Senate and its law, not them. As long as this corruption does not involve a brute force, Jedi should not investigate it. If the Senate is not willing to fix their problems with corruption... well that's their problem, and Jedi will not lead the Republic by the hand through every single problem and teach it what to do and not to do.
I never saw this coming, that's for sure. Yaddle was a great Jedi Master and one who was not corrupt and arrogant. But Dooku knew it was too late to turn back. Qui-Gon's death was the final straw and there was no going back to the Jedi who did nothing to help his beloved Apprentice.
In the revenge of the sith novel darth sidious is refered to as the shadow by darth vader, that accusation fits well when sidious was blinded by the sun light when yattle forced the door open
I love how when Yaddle opens the door off her, Palpatine tries to hide himself from the light. Obviously he’s not weakened by literal sun but I think it’s a nice reference to how Christopher Lee used to play Dracula. Maybe I’m overthinking it but I just thought of that.
Dooku may not have been Sidious perfect choice apprentice but in the time it took place he was certainly the most ideal. A jedi far better than most in the order, considerably the best duelist in the galaxy and well adept in the force. Makes me wonder if the clone wars would've been possible without him as the lead puppet. Like sure it would still go on but for how long? Long enough for Sidious to turn Anakin? To take more power in the senate? I always underappreciated Dooku but the Clone Wars and Tales of the Jedi really turned that around for me.
Yes, Dooku was already old, i think he left the Order in his late sixties, and it would still be some time before he actually became a Sith. When he dies, he was pushing eighty plus easy.
So was the actor I think… don’t quote me on that… Regardless props to both Dooku and Christopher Lee for managing to perform such masterful moves at their age
Considering Maul was supposed to be the one to take Dooku's and later Vader's role in Palpatines grand plan, it really is quite the stroke of luck that Sidious was able to find the perfect replacements to keep everything moving after his loss.
You really think they would of believed her? Besides, they already left for Naboo at this point. By the time she gets there, Dooku would be long gone and Sidious would come up with a plan to make her look like a liar.
She was dead the minute Palpatine decided to come along to watch Dooku. He was there to make sure things didn't get out of control, aka, Yaddle escaping.
This goes to show how powerful Yoda was himself. Dooku was able to beat and kill Yade here while barely tapping the Dark Side. Yoda was beating and would have beaten a fully Dark Side empowered Count Dooku. Were it not for that last trick he pulled in order to run
To be fair to Dooku, he never fully succumbed tapped into the dark side of the force. Notice how his irises never turned yellow, which is what happens when a force user submits themselves completely over to the dark side
Insane to think how much more powerful Dooku got from TPM to AOTC as a Sith Lord. TOTJ demonstrated that he was already well beyond the average Jedi Master. I know, for 20 years we have had books and comics that told us how Master Dooku was the Golden Boy of the Order; second only to Yoda, the most powerful Jedi of his era, a Padawan so powerful and gifted that Yoda broke Jedi convention and his own personal code to take him on as his apprentice while Grand Master and even groomed to replace Yoda. In Dark Rendezvous Yoda describes him as their wisest student and strongest warrior. We know that only Yoda was more skilled in dueling, and that Mace was considered the toppest tier in swordsmanship because he earned a draw against Dooku in sparring *once.* But to see Dooku demonstrate his deflection abilities as a work of art (the traditional flaw of Makashi people point out is its weakness against blasters!), his IQ and BBIQ in deducing so quickly that the guards murdered Master Katri, dropping the tree on the droids to cut the fight short, or swatting away a shuttle as if it were nothing, we finally see how powerful and skilled he was as Master Dooku. Master Yaddle was no slouch. In Legends she was incredibly powerful in the Force, which is also demonstrated in TOTJ. And that while she wasn't on Yoda's level as a duelist, her immense strength and almost peerless knowledge of the Force made her an extremely difficult opponent. Defeating her with little difficulty is a big feather in Dooku's dueling cap.
It seriously is, not only that but remember the time Dooku was fighting against both Obi-Wan AND Anakin double-teaming him during the incident with pikes? He kept Anakin on the defensive (which is not his style as he’s usually on the offensive) and allowed Obi-Wan freedom to attack, which ultimately made him expose some weak points in his form (since Obi-Wan’s style is best suited for counterattacks) it’s honestly amazing how Dooku meticulously think beforehand what the best strategy is to defeat his opponents before actually making the first move.
@@alirezaomrani7650 Absolutely, and in that duel, which is only about 6 months from ROTS, Dooku was dominating them to the point he could have killed Obi-Wan as if it were nothing, but kneed him instead and threw him. The Jedi had no answer for his speed and agility either. And people say Dooku is slow....
@@crownprincesebastianjohano7069 this may be a hot take, but in my opinion, if we are talking purely about talent and skill with the lightsaber, Dooku is superior to both Mace Windu and Darth Sidious, on a par with Anakin Skywalker (in ROTS and towards the end of the clone wars in general), and slightly inferior to Yoda. This does not mean that he must necessarily win/lose with whoever I consider more skilled/less skilled, because there are many other variables including knowledge and power in the force, as well as the psychophysical state of the person dueling. But if we're talking purely about skill with the blade...
What I love about this is that we can clearly see the corrupting effect the dark side has on Dooku. Many people forget that he is evil because his intentions were good, but here we see that even in the beginning, when he has just had a small taste if the dark side, it twists him enough to make him not only kill his friend but also do it while making some snarky comment, showing that he kinda enjoys it.
Nah, he didn’t enjoy it at all. He simply believed Yaddle deserved a painless death. That’s all there is to it. You can see the sadness in his face the entire way throughout the fight.
So he is evil, because his intentions were good...but he is evil, because he is evil. Dude, make that make sense, for real. You home-grown philosophers never cease to amuse me.
@@anton.chigrinetc.96 It's not homegrown philosophy, It's Star Wars lore. But to break it down for you: His good intentions made him do enough evil things to eventually turn him evil. To be specific, his wish to end the corruption in the republic (good intentions) made him strike a deal with a Sith Lord, kill, betray and use the dark side (evil actions). The Dark side, however tends to corrupt people. It corrupted Dooku enough that by the time of the Clone Wars his good intentions were basically gine and he was just pure evil. Something which can be easily seen in the Clone Wars show. It were, however, his originally good intentions that set him on this path.
Sidious may have had the edge in terms of Force ability but with Yaddle being a small target and Dooku being the best swordsman in the Order apart from Yoda and Mace Windu, they would have had a very good chance. Unlike when Mace brought 3 other Jedi to a cramped office where they would only get in each others way, fighting Sidious in a hanger where there's plenty of room to move without blocking each other is the ideal position for Dooku and Yaddle to be in.
There's a chance they could win, but I think they would have lost. Of course, the chance is quite high that either Yaddle or Dooku could escape and report back to the Council. Sidious doesn't have the power to defeat either of them immediately.
Why does everyone forget that Palpatine has a whole ship of host bodies, and failing that, he'd just possess either Dooku or Yaddle (preferably Yaddle because she's younger, relatively). Killing Palpatine isn't enough.
0:14 Yaddle's expression is in shock. She still can't believe what's going on. Confused on what's happening and denying the fact that Dooku is attacking her and becoming a villain. But underneath, she accepted her fate anyway.
Naw he wouldn’t have been exposed because he wasn’t going to let her walk out of there. If Dooku failed then Sidious would have just killed her himself.
This would've been Dooku's last chance to redeem himself. He felt truly betrayed by the Jedi because of their close association with the republic, they were like the republic's puppets. Dooku of course does not want to be anyone's pawn and yet is happy to serve the Sith Master without knowing his true goals.
That’s the tragedy of it, he meant well the entire time. Sidious was the only person who listened to him and his concerns. Ultimately, he was right the entire time, the Jedi had not only failed him, but qui gon too. Their refusal to acknowledge the possibility of the sith still being around is part of the reason he lost his apprentice. It’s a truly heartbreaking story
@@Osindileyo It would be nice if we could see Dooku return as a Force spirit. Unfortunately he did not get that training, nor did he get a chance to return to the light side prior to his death, but perhaps some powerful Jedi could grant what's left of his force energy the ability to express his voice and concerns in the form of a ball of light.
I've never seen this scene before, and I barely know anything about this series but it interests me. It was quite, interesting and I honestly didn't expect Yaddle to die, let alone at the hands of Dooku. : ( .
It’s called Tales of the Jedi. It’s 1st season is a collection of shorts about Ahsoka and Dooku. The Dooku ones tell a great story in just 3 short episodes. Worth the watch and not a time sink at all
Scenes like this and Anakin saving him from Windu actually give a lot more weight to the moment Luke throws down his lightsaber and refuses to kill his father. That was the first moment in the entire saga where Palpatine is so caught off guard, it enrages him. Because until that moment, his seductions had always worked.
ngl i always liked dooku, but after seeing this scene for the first time, i rewatchched his demise, where he deserved all that dread and betrayal, he got. top notch acting from legendary sir Christopher lee. r.i.p.
George Lucas based him partially on Robert E. Lee. The Golden Boy of the Jedi Order who left, like Lee was for the US Army. Hence the name of the CIS as well.
I’d like it, if they made a scene of Yaddle warning Dooku that Sidious, doesn’t care about him, only sees him as a ‘tool’ and that Sidious, would betray him.
Dooku was right about the coming darkness. But was a blind fool. He became the darkness he feared. Worse yet, he became the corrupt, power hungry man he hated.
@@wm9a By the looks of things, she chose not to flee for a few reasons, first being that she knows that if she runs away, Dooku will forever be lost, either to the dark side or possibly that Palpatine would kill him then and there. Second, she said herself that Dooku had been right about so many things and that the council didn't listen to him. If she went back to tell the council 'hey Dooku just met with a Sith Lord'... then what? She didn't know who the sith lord was, just that it wasn't Dooku. Maybe that information could've helped, sure, but she didn't really have enough to tell the Council that warranted leaving Dooku to die for.
@@wm9a Dave didn't need to explain it any more blatantly than he already did. It's obvious that Yaddle stayed for Dooku's sake because she knew that "running back to your council" would only push him even further into the Dark side.
They can warp across the Galaxy in Star Wars but their cops don’t have radios or bodycams! Yaddle should have radioed “We’ve got some Sith activity, requesting backup!”
As I watch this, I just can't help but grit my teeth. Given what I know, and ultimately what happens to nearly all the Jedi, Dooku included. There are no winners here!
Funny, if obi wan tried the same thing like Yaddle here on Mustafar Anakin could have been saved, but Obi wan only gave him agressive judgment, and started to attack... Well, he wasnt that great friend after all, he didnt even try to understand him
obi wan is not a good teacher obiwan didn't try to save anakin obiwan blindly trusts the jedi order. He never sees anything wrong with the jedi order Luke, anakin, yoda, dooku, and qui gon jinn all see that the jedi order is wrong obiwan didn't help anakin or ashoka obiwan, sidious, anakin, jedi responsible for padme's death The end of the story Obiwan is wrong because Obiwan believes there is no way to redeem Anakin, but Luke did
There is a part of me cracking up at Sidious recoiling at the sight of sunshine. I know he's a Lord of the dark side operating in the shadows, but he's not a silly vampire! Well does explain why his face stays pasty for so many decades. Guy never liked a tan.
1:25 Petty Palpatine: Not only using Dooku as a means to an end to be the only Lord of the Sith, but also trying to upstage him behind his back to star in Hammer Dracula movies.

@@Darthvegeta8000 True, but also Dooku is set up as the very public head of one side of the war. A side that is, increasingly, losing. What does he think will happen when the Republic wins? Just dumb as all hell.
I like how Yoda and Yaddle respect their opponents by not going for the legs, they duel how everyone else would like to duel despite their height
That's just abiding to made-up Survivor rules. No wonder why their Order fell because they followed too much dogmatic BS rather than take off the gloves for once and get shit done quick & easy. Get their hands dirty so that the galaxy can stay clean. Who cares if it's "dishonorable" because they go for an unfair 0 skill advantage due to their height? It's war, and it's war over the fate of the galaxy. It's about who wins and loses. Doesn't matter how. Who cares about skill. This is why Anakin & Ahsoka pmuch carried the Republic in the war lol, cuz they didn't adhere to rules that made their kind weak.
Imagine if Yoda said screw it & went for Dooku's legs in AotC? Clone War prob either woulda never started or would've been over way sooner than 3 years. Or just, if Yaddle went for Dooku's legs here lol. Both scenarios put a massive dampener on Palpatine's scheme and it woulda been gg.
@@plague6174 Part of the reason that Anakin kept being denied promotion to Master was that he tossed the rules of "Acceptable" Lightsaber combat and modified his techniques for surviving battlefields. He was deemed too uncivilized and immature a Jedi to be made a Master. Even if his accomplishment outstripped most Masters several times over.
@@plague6174you're acting like they wouldn't be able to block it anyways. Dueling as a force user means you can perceive attacks to any part of the body with the force and deflect it
It's not "dogmatic"
It's common sense
@@willisstillhere8846it's still also a much bigger pain in the ass do defend your legs against an opponent that small with a weapon that immediately dismember you upon touch.
Defending your legs is just so much more awkward, and since legs are how someone presses forward with advantage, attacking them almost forces them to back away.
That back peddling gives the opponent the advantage because now they have forward momentum and more freedom to be aggressive.
Sure they have precognition, but it's still just flat out harder to defend your legs. Aldo precognition doesn't mean they always block 100% of attacks. If that was the case then nobody would die in duels
@@plague6174 Congratulations, you figured out the point.
Now, I know why yaddle wasn’t in the final scene of the phantom menace.
Actually this is shortly after Phantom Menace
@@TWD77710 makes sense.
@nathancruz9172 actually after a night of research this is indeed during Phantom Menace 😄
@@TWD77710 Right after Qui Gon's death, but before his funeral?
@@adamfleming2186yeah. His funeral was in the phantom menace.
When yaddle lifted the door I expected sidious to just blast her out with lightning 😂
Me too hahaha
Dooku had to do it. Cold blooded murder is a gateway drug to the Dark Side.
bro, that'd have been quite savage! lol
POWER!!!!
She did all that just to exhaust herself and be sliced in half.
Yaddle didn't have much of a chance when Dooku made up his mind. Given her species and style you can tell she was raised in the order basically copying what had worked for Yoda. Dooku, in addition to being arguably the greatest duelist in the Order, had been Yoda's last padawan and knew his style well, reflected competently but imperfectly in Yaddle.
Not only that, like SIDIOUS was right there. Beating Dooku was long odds, but zero chance if Sidious felt the need to intervene
Dis why you dont go alone to secret sith meetings
Yaddle's preferred fighting style actually seems to be Soresu rather than Ataru. Throughout most of the duel, she was fighting defensively and didn't leave the ground anywhere near as much as Yoda does. That's a great detail because it not only separates Yaddle from Yoda but also shows that although Ataru is the most efficient duelling style for such a small species, they can wield any lightsaber combat form effectively.
Had she lived, Yaddle might have even surpassed Yoda in later life. She was better at conserving her energy for longer duels while Yoda was more focussed on ending a fight as quickly as possible, even if he exhausted himself in the process.
yadle and yoda don't fight the same at all fella
@@tomnorton4277true. The fight looked quite even when she was playing defense. But it’s when she went offense that dooku got the upper hand and forced her back to the door and tried to crush her with it
The animation has improved so much from the early days of Clone Wars
Obviously this is not 2008 fella
1:26 Why is Sidious acting like a vampire. I know he doesn’t want Yaddle to see his face but he’s being so dramatic 😂
Darth Sidious has always been a drama queen.
Some believe that this symbolize that Sidious is pure evil without any light in his soul so that why he covers from light.
@@vvgr409 yet he was in the daylight all the time in the prequels
@@Justrelaxx101 because symbolism is symbolism, not something that a character does everytime everyday
@@TheCultDc2 it’s stupid
Subtle, but Palpatine’s little growl as it fades to the credits is just so. Damn. Cool. And it gives off the vibe that Dooku made a deal with the literal Star Wars embodiment of the devil.
George Lucas has said that, for all intents and purposes, Palpatine IS the Devil. Heck, Ian McDiarmid has said he's arguably even worse because at least Satan became evil over time. Palpatine was just born like that.
Not even hell would accept him
@@tomnorton4277and the Council went ahead and handed the Messiah over to him.
no wonder Palpatine think so highly of himself. He thrives off of causing Mass confusion and turning the most powerful Jedi to the darkside. To be right under the nose of the most intuitive intellectual beings known as Jedi and yet they can't see him. I'd be high on myself too.
That shows Dooku was right in his opinion of Jedi Order.
Remember that the Sith have been extinct for 1000 years so not even Yoda knew what a Sith looked like. The Jedi didn't know what to expect. They've only learned about the Sith through text and stories but they were more familiar with fighting Pirates, Crime lords and other illegal organizations.
0:57 "It is you who has run Dooku, into the arms of Evil."
Yaddle's got a point. Dooky deserved to be fed up with Jedi Council but that's not a reason to join their mortal enemies, who want nothing more than total opposite of everything Jedi stood for with full knowledge of what they were capable of. In the end, much like later Anakin, Dooku chose to believe in the sweet lies of Sith and their empires instead of bitter truths of Jedi and the Republic.
Well said
You're right but Dooku had his reasons too. Jedi ignored his warnings and were too involved in politics where they should be keepers of peace and help people. They were against their own principles that created Jedi Order. Dooku simply became pissed of that and then came Sidious who listened to him and agreed with his opinion. So yeah, no wonder that he decided to join somebody who agreed with him after years of being ignored. Sure I'm not saying that Dooku did right thing but he had his reasons too.
@@vvgr409 Jedi just simply thought that their job is handling thugs and terrorists (who use violence for their means). The corruption in the Republic is in their mind something that should be dealt with by Senate and its law, not them. As long as this corruption does not involve a brute force, Jedi should not investigate it. If the Senate is not willing to fix their problems with corruption... well that's their problem, and Jedi will not lead the Republic by the hand through every single problem and teach it what to do and not to do.
Jedi? Truth? Come on
Had jedi council not been incompetent for the last like thousand years, probably non of this would have happened.
I never saw this coming, that's for sure. Yaddle was a great Jedi Master and one who was not corrupt and arrogant. But Dooku knew it was too late to turn back. Qui-Gon's death was the final straw and there was no going back to the Jedi who did nothing to help his beloved Apprentice.
He did nothing either
Valiant effort by Yaddle but sometimes you just need to run .
She had two chances and oof the second like cmon yaddle
She wanted to save Dooku and she knew that he will be lost when she will "run back to her council". She wanted to help Dooku first.
In the revenge of the sith novel darth sidious is refered to as the shadow by darth vader, that accusation fits well when sidious was blinded by the sun light when yattle forced the door open
That also symbolizes that palpatine has no shade of light in his soul
I love how when Yaddle opens the door off her, Palpatine tries to hide himself from the light. Obviously he’s not weakened by literal sun but I think it’s a nice reference to how Christopher Lee used to play Dracula. Maybe I’m overthinking it but I just thought of that.
Seeing a younger Dooku is one thing, but Palpatine looking young is throwing me for a loop
This is Phantom Menace Palpy. We saw him in the flesh 24 years ago.
@@vladskiobishortly after Phantom Menace but yeah practically the same
Dooku may not have been Sidious perfect choice apprentice but in the time it took place he was certainly the most ideal. A jedi far better than most in the order, considerably the best duelist in the galaxy and well adept in the force. Makes me wonder if the clone wars would've been possible without him as the lead puppet. Like sure it would still go on but for how long? Long enough for Sidious to turn Anakin? To take more power in the senate? I always underappreciated Dooku but the Clone Wars and Tales of the Jedi really turned that around for me.
He was too old, older than Sidious is. That's why he needed Anakin instead
Yes, Dooku was already old, i think he left the Order in his late sixties, and it would still be some time before he actually became a Sith. When he dies, he was pushing eighty plus easy.
So was the actor I think… don’t quote me on that…
Regardless props to both Dooku and Christopher Lee for managing to perform such masterful moves at their age
Considering Maul was supposed to be the one to take Dooku's and later Vader's role in Palpatines grand plan, it really is quite the stroke of luck that Sidious was able to find the perfect replacements to keep everything moving after his loss.
The ending scene was cool.... But Yaddle really should have used the opportunity to run back and tell the jedi council everything she saw lol
You really think they would of believed her? Besides, they already left for Naboo at this point. By the time she gets there, Dooku would be long gone and Sidious would come up with a plan to make her look like a liar.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirlthey would’ve believed her they finally realized that Qui Gonn was right and investigated this.
Doubt Palpatine would have let her escaped.
She was dead the minute Palpatine decided to come along to watch Dooku. He was there to make sure things didn't get out of control, aka, Yaddle escaping.
Palpatine is genius, he is always many steps ahead of everyone.
I really wish they added a clip of Count Dooku bargaining Jango Fett to be the clone template for the Republic Army
This goes to show how powerful Yoda was himself. Dooku was able to beat and kill Yade here while barely tapping the Dark Side. Yoda was beating and would have beaten a fully Dark Side empowered Count Dooku. Were it not for that last trick he pulled in order to run
* Yaddle (damn autocorrect)
To be fair to Dooku, he never fully succumbed tapped into the dark side of the force. Notice how his irises never turned yellow, which is what happens when a force user submits themselves completely over to the dark side
@@flibbettyjibbetts6766 I thought they turned red at one point though?
@@calebstevens9446They do but only in very few instances. Dooku believed the dark side could be mastered without getting completely consumed by it.
I mean it’s Yoda. Even Palpatine would not be foolish enough to challenge him blindly.
Insane to think how much more powerful Dooku got from TPM to AOTC as a Sith Lord. TOTJ demonstrated that he was already well beyond the average Jedi Master. I know, for 20 years we have had books and comics that told us how Master Dooku was the Golden Boy of the Order; second only to Yoda, the most powerful Jedi of his era, a Padawan so powerful and gifted that Yoda broke Jedi convention and his own personal code to take him on as his apprentice while Grand Master and even groomed to replace Yoda. In Dark Rendezvous Yoda describes him as their wisest student and strongest warrior. We know that only Yoda was more skilled in dueling, and that Mace was considered the toppest tier in swordsmanship because he earned a draw against Dooku in sparring *once.* But to see Dooku demonstrate his deflection abilities as a work of art (the traditional flaw of Makashi people point out is its weakness against blasters!), his IQ and BBIQ in deducing so quickly that the guards murdered Master Katri, dropping the tree on the droids to cut the fight short, or swatting away a shuttle as if it were nothing, we finally see how powerful and skilled he was as Master Dooku. Master Yaddle was no slouch. In Legends she was incredibly powerful in the Force, which is also demonstrated in TOTJ. And that while she wasn't on Yoda's level as a duelist, her immense strength and almost peerless knowledge of the Force made her an extremely difficult opponent. Defeating her with little difficulty is a big feather in Dooku's dueling cap.
It seriously is, not only that but remember the time Dooku was fighting against both Obi-Wan AND Anakin double-teaming him during the incident with pikes? He kept Anakin on the defensive (which is not his style as he’s usually on the offensive) and allowed Obi-Wan freedom to attack, which ultimately made him expose some weak points in his form (since Obi-Wan’s style is best suited for counterattacks) it’s honestly amazing how Dooku meticulously think beforehand what the best strategy is to defeat his opponents before actually making the first move.
@@alirezaomrani7650 Absolutely, and in that duel, which is only about 6 months from ROTS, Dooku was dominating them to the point he could have killed Obi-Wan as if it were nothing, but kneed him instead and threw him. The Jedi had no answer for his speed and agility either. And people say Dooku is slow....
@crownprincesebastianjohano7069 PEOPLE SAY THAT DOOKU IS SLOW!!!!?
Nah Fam! They’re not watching the same show as me! Get those losers outta here!! 😂
@@crownprincesebastianjohano7069 this may be a hot take, but in my opinion, if we are talking purely about talent and skill with the lightsaber, Dooku is superior to both Mace Windu and Darth Sidious, on a par with Anakin Skywalker (in ROTS and towards the end of the clone wars in general), and slightly inferior to Yoda. This does not mean that he must necessarily win/lose with whoever I consider more skilled/less skilled, because there are many other variables including knowledge and power in the force, as well as the psychophysical state of the person dueling. But if we're talking purely about skill with the blade...
@@andreademarchi7495 Actually in terms of raw talent, Dooku is superior to Yoda. Yoda's only advantage is that he has nearly 9 centuries of practice.
The light will shine on Star Wars once more
The score was everything it gave me chills
I like how while Yaddle does utilize some aspects of Form IV out of necessity, you can tell her predominant lightsaber style is Form III
Dooku makashi mastery gaves me chill every time
"Tell me, friend: When did Count Dooku the wise abandon reason for madness?"
-Yaddle, probably
What I love about this is that we can clearly see the corrupting effect the dark side has on Dooku. Many people forget that he is evil because his intentions were good, but here we see that even in the beginning, when he has just had a small taste if the dark side, it twists him enough to make him not only kill his friend but also do it while making some snarky comment, showing that he kinda enjoys it.
Nah, he didn’t enjoy it at all. He simply believed Yaddle deserved a painless death. That’s all there is to it. You can see the sadness in his face the entire way throughout the fight.
So he is evil, because his intentions were good...but he is evil, because he is evil.
Dude, make that make sense, for real. You home-grown philosophers never cease to amuse me.
@@anton.chigrinetc.96 It's not homegrown philosophy, It's Star Wars lore. But to break it down for you: His good intentions made him do enough evil things to eventually turn him evil. To be specific, his wish to end the corruption in the republic (good intentions) made him strike a deal with a Sith Lord, kill, betray and use the dark side (evil actions). The Dark side, however tends to corrupt people. It corrupted Dooku enough that by the time of the Clone Wars his good intentions were basically gine and he was just pure evil. Something which can be easily seen in the Clone Wars show. It were, however, his originally good intentions that set him on this path.
What's even worse is that I am sure that Dooku and Yaddle could have defeated Sidious together. They could have ended it all before it began.
Sidious may have had the edge in terms of Force ability but with Yaddle being a small target and Dooku being the best swordsman in the Order apart from Yoda and Mace Windu, they would have had a very good chance. Unlike when Mace brought 3 other Jedi to a cramped office where they would only get in each others way, fighting Sidious in a hanger where there's plenty of room to move without blocking each other is the ideal position for Dooku and Yaddle to be in.
It's possible but I believe sidious would have ran away from the fight
There's a chance they could win, but I think they would have lost. Of course, the chance is quite high that either Yaddle or Dooku could escape and report back to the Council. Sidious doesn't have the power to defeat either of them immediately.
Why does everyone forget that Palpatine has a whole ship of host bodies, and failing that, he'd just possess either Dooku or Yaddle (preferably Yaddle because she's younger, relatively). Killing Palpatine isn't enough.
No way. Just because she is the same species as Yoda doesn't mean she is his equivalent.
0:14 Yaddle's expression is in shock. She still can't believe what's going on. Confused on what's happening and denying the fact that Dooku is attacking her and becoming a villain. But underneath, she accepted her fate anyway.
To that very day Darth Tyranus was born
I'm disappointed they didn't have Sidious say "Henceforth, you shall be known as Darth Tyranus..."
Sidious: “dark side is ultimate power!!!” *Yaddle opens door to sunlight, telling him to touch some grass* Also Sidious: Hisssss!!!
"Dooku can't handle fast opponents!" Yeah, another myth quashed.
I think it was Dooku can't handle hard hitting opponents not necessarily fast.
Seeing Dooku turn was really sad.
i almost expected his light saber to turn red when he struck down Yaddle.
Darth sidious was shocked that yaddle almost beat dooku and yes if yaddle beat dooku sidious would be exposed
Naw he wouldn’t have been exposed because he wasn’t going to let her walk out of there. If Dooku failed then Sidious would have just killed her himself.
She like utterly lost. How did she "almost beat" Dooku?
@@anton.chigrinetc.96dooku cheated by using the huge door thing
@@narutohyuga1845 He was literally kicking her around all the time, and she was on the run. That door thing was just a finisher.
@@anton.chigrinetc.96 cuz she wasn’t fighting to kill, she was trying to save him
This would've been Dooku's last chance to redeem himself. He felt truly betrayed by the Jedi because of their close association with the republic, they were like the republic's puppets. Dooku of course does not want to be anyone's pawn and yet is happy to serve the Sith Master without knowing his true goals.
That’s the tragedy of it, he meant well the entire time. Sidious was the only person who listened to him and his concerns.
Ultimately, he was right the entire time, the Jedi had not only failed him, but qui gon too. Their refusal to acknowledge the possibility of the sith still being around is part of the reason he lost his apprentice.
It’s a truly heartbreaking story
@@Osindileyo It would be nice if we could see Dooku return as a Force spirit. Unfortunately he did not get that training, nor did he get a chance to return to the light side prior to his death, but perhaps some powerful Jedi could grant what's left of his force energy the ability to express his voice and concerns in the form of a ball of light.
We always wondered what happened with Yaddle, didn't expect it to be this.
Before Disney, Yaddle lived until the Clone Wars & sacrificed herself to save Anakin & a bunch of civilians from a bomb.
@@papaofthejohns5882I like that ending better, being finished off by a closing door is disappointing
I've never seen this scene before, and I barely know anything about this series but it interests me. It was quite, interesting and I honestly didn't expect Yaddle to die, let alone at the hands of Dooku. : ( .
It’s called Tales of the Jedi. It’s 1st season is a collection of shorts about Ahsoka and Dooku. The Dooku ones tell a great story in just 3 short episodes. Worth the watch and not a time sink at all
Yup agree with the comment above. Great great watch.
Yaddle went from a lolcow to Fan favorite, in just a few minutes.
Scenes like this and Anakin saving him from Windu actually give a lot more weight to the moment Luke throws down his lightsaber and refuses to kill his father. That was the first moment in the entire saga where Palpatine is so caught off guard, it enrages him. Because until that moment, his seductions had always worked.
1:34 Palpatine is doing his best to hide is face from Yaddle
The giant door is conveniently shaped and opened like an eyelid.
“We clones have… mixed feelings about the war. A lot of people wish it never happened, but… without it, us clones… wouldn’t exist!”
ngl i always liked dooku, but after seeing this scene for the first time, i rewatchched his demise, where he deserved all that dread and betrayal, he got.
top notch acting from legendary sir Christopher lee.
r.i.p.
Damn, why didn't Yaddle tactfully escape? Run away like Ventress does.😁
considering Sidious was there, i don't think that it would be the case.
You know, if Yaddle had just run while Dooku was busy taunting her...
Poor Greez... He and all the Lateron people looked up to Yaddle so much.
It's amazing that after 25 years (since Yaddle's 1st appearance in TPM) we are still getting new lore about certain PT characters.
Dooku is so much like Benedict Arnold in the revolutionary war
George Lucas based him partially on Robert E. Lee. The Golden Boy of the Jedi Order who left, like Lee was for the US Army. Hence the name of the CIS as well.
I’d like it, if they made a scene of Yaddle warning Dooku that Sidious, doesn’t care about him, only sees him as a ‘tool’ and that Sidious, would betray him.
The elegance of the swiftness of Dooku’s curved crimson blue blade is phenomenally preserved well in its glory through his victory over master yaddle.
I think the only person who can turn Dooku to the light side it's Qui-Gon.
No. Qui Gon did prevent Dooku from falling to Darkness once.
If Yaddle had a body cam the jedi would know about the true identity of darth sidious
Count Dooku and his classic signature look of Superiority
Loved this little mini series. Yaddle didnt deserve to die 😭
At this point Palpatine has made Jedi murdering each other into a spectative pastime. I approve.
I watched this for the first time yesterday, this broke my heart
Dooku was right about the coming darkness. But was a blind fool. He became the darkness he feared. Worse yet, he became the corrupt, power hungry man he hated.
The fact that Dooku kills Yaddle in front of Palpatine sends chills up my spine!!!!!!
That final shot of Palpatine is CRAZY
I like the sound effects in this fight
Palpatine being blinded by the sunlight and Dooku kneeling in awe before it was such a beautiful imagery.
and she could escape and warn the jedi
Dave needs a little explaining to do on that one
@@wm9a By the looks of things, she chose not to flee for a few reasons, first being that she knows that if she runs away, Dooku will forever be lost, either to the dark side or possibly that Palpatine would kill him then and there. Second, she said herself that Dooku had been right about so many things and that the council didn't listen to him. If she went back to tell the council 'hey Dooku just met with a Sith Lord'... then what? She didn't know who the sith lord was, just that it wasn't Dooku. Maybe that information could've helped, sure, but she didn't really have enough to tell the Council that warranted leaving Dooku to die for.
The jedi council was on Naboo at the moment, and Dooku would have stopped her anyway
@@wm9a Dave didn't need to explain it any more blatantly than he already did. It's obvious that Yaddle stayed for Dooku's sake because she knew that "running back to your council" would only push him even further into the Dark side.
@@tomnorton4277 but she knew that he wasnt gonna turn back so why not get help and take him down while you can simple logic
that dark music when he killed her at the end. Wow great show
Yaddle is proof that yoda has a speech impediment
I loved the cameo appearance from Sidious in this episode. He is just so cold. The GOAT super villan
Yoda's species is supposed extremely rare. Like so rare most the galaxy doesn't even know they exist.
"Let me give you PISS, master Yaddle"
(Thats what It sounded like 😮).
I like that the big window is just a giant evil smile 😂
best episode in Tales of the Jedi :D
They can warp across the Galaxy in Star Wars but their cops don’t have radios or bodycams! Yaddle should have radioed “We’ve got some Sith activity, requesting backup!”
This episode is amazing to me. I actually care for both characters and their motivations.
This clip is why I started liking Star Wars again 🤯
Now that you have suffered, let me bring you peace.
Cold asf
U can see the sadness in dookus face when he dealt the final blow
Palpatine gets his kicks from watching friends kill each other.
"Maybe i shouldnt be doing all these horroble thing"
Drops the door
"O never mind"
You can tell by Dooku's face he still isn't super sure of himself.
Why would Dooku look that much younger if he was turned sometime between episodes 1 & 2?
"Dooku was once a jedi he wouldn't assassinated anyone that's not from his character"

What I find incredible about this scene, is that you can see palpantine with genuine fear as yaddle lifts the door up
Did anyone notice how he closed his eyes as he brought the saber down. He couldn't even look at her.
At this point, he really was the best duelist in the galaxy.
As I watch this, I just can't help but grit my teeth. Given what I know, and ultimately what happens to nearly all the Jedi, Dooku included. There are no winners here!
Dooku was no Jedi! Not after this evil act.
Oh but there IS a winner: Sidious
@@samalvey8168I agree he wasn’t a Jedi I hate him even more for what he did
They should really do more stuff like this, I’d love to see Grevious fighting Shaak Ti when protecting the Chancellor
Probably a bit too late to salute someone for a duel when you're already in the middle of assaulting them.
Why can't live action shows be as good as these. I'm not a animated fan but watching these and now I think I should watch this and bad batch mostly.
This scene really goes to show you how a great fencer Dooku was on the style makashi
Funny, if obi wan tried the same thing like Yaddle here on Mustafar Anakin could have been saved, but Obi wan only gave him agressive judgment, and started to attack... Well, he wasnt that great friend after all, he didnt even try to understand him
obi wan is not a good teacher
obiwan didn't try to save anakin
obiwan blindly trusts the jedi order. He never sees anything wrong with the jedi order
Luke, anakin, yoda, dooku, and qui gon jinn all see that the jedi order is wrong
obiwan didn't help anakin or ashoka
obiwan, sidious, anakin, jedi responsible for padme's death
The end of the story Obiwan is wrong because Obiwan believes there is no way to redeem Anakin, but Luke did
Dooku just went from a rebel Jedi to a murderer.
There is a part of me cracking up at Sidious recoiling at the sight of sunshine. I know he's a Lord of the dark side operating in the shadows, but he's not a silly vampire!
Well does explain why his face stays pasty for so many decades. Guy never liked a tan.
It’s because he doesn’t want Yaddle to see his face, in fear that she lives and tells everyone

Petty Palpatine: Not only using Dooku as a means to an end to be the only Lord of the Sith, but also trying to upstage him behind his back to star in Hammer Dracula movies.
