Maul was supposed to be what Vader was until he failed, he was a banite Sith and was destined for greatness, it was when Anakin was discovered he needed a placeholder in Dooku. Maul was a hidden diamond, Dooku was an old gem, Anakin was the best of both potential wise.
I really love that Liam Neeson is so committed to being Qui-gon. It reminds me of when Stephen Amell was asked about voicing Green Arrow in a Lego game, and he said something to the effect of "Well, I didn't want anyone else playing him."
A lot of actors are like that. Nancy Allen only decided to play Officer Lewis in Robocop 3 when the writers agreed to kill her character off, so nobody else could play that part.
What’s really interesting about this show is that it shows a clear line of rebellion against the Jedi order that was passed from Dooku to Qui-Gon, to Obi-Wan, to Anakin, to Ahsoka. Each of them acted on it in a different way and not all fell to the Dark Side, but it’s a clear lineage of questioning the judgment of the Jedi Council, passed from Master to Apprentice.
I think the main thing about episode 5 is that Anakin's training is what saves Ashoka during order 66. It isn't as impressive, but an interesting slice of story.
And it's a lot more satisfying than just Ahsoka is better than all the Jedi Masters just because, I mean she did have other factors also helping her but even still when literally every Jedi dies to order 66 except for like five masters and then Ahsoka, it's nice to have it make sense but also be explained in a way that's so well presented that's supposed to just exposition
The fact that there was no investigation in where or what happened to Yaddle, shows how far the Jedi Council had fallen. Yaddle left the Council in protest of the Council's actions and inaction. The Council in turn ignored Yaddle's protest and subsequent disappearance. As far as the Council went, losing Yaddle and Dooku leaving meant two less dissenting voices.
I'm not sure they would investigate her leaving. She stepped down and left, which is within her right to do, so I feel like there's nothing to investigate honestly.
@@NerdyNightly She stepped down from the Council, she never said or did anything that said she was leaving the Jedi Order. A Jedi Master disappears on Coruscant and the Council does nothing (which is what they were very good at).
The choice of the episodes' order is chronological. The episodes are arranged depending on when they actually take place in the Star Wars timeline: Ahsoka is born, followed by young Dooku and Qui-Gon, then older Dooku and Mace Windu, then Episode I, then just after Episode II during the Clone Wars with a tag at the end of Episode III during Order 66, then finally the end of Episode III and Padmé's funeral and some time later after the rise of the Empire.
I love that they showed he was using dark side force choking before he even left the Jedi which means he was studying the dark side on his own which was forbidden 🤔
Anakin was using force chokes long before he even considered going to the dark side. I'm pretty sure the Jedi do have a level of knowledge of Dark Side Force Powers; otherwise they wouldn't be able to combat them. It's just strongly discouraged to use them. Just like with Anakin, Dooku used the choke because he had enough with the Senators bs. Kind of like how in the Harry Potter universe, Hogwarts had a Defense Against the Dark Arts class. To teach their students the basics of dark magic and knowing how to combat them.
Ironically, in real life Sir Christopher Lee who originally played Dooku in Live-Action was a devout Catholic who had a morbid interest in the occult and warned "You`ll not only lose your sanity but you will lose your soul. Never, never."
It's not so unbelievable that Yaddle speaks differently if she is 400 years younger than Yoda. If you went back 400 years to England, you'd notice that the English they speak would be very different from today's English. Even just 200 years ago, English in the US was very different.
You guys have to remember; this is done in a sequence of time. Before the fall of Dooku; Ahsoka was born. Dooku becomes disillusioned with the Jedi Counsel, and turns to the Dark Side. Ahsoka becomes Anakin's Padwin, survives Order 66, and rejoins the fight against the Dark Side, and the Empire. That's the order of this. That's why Ahsoka's story is sandwich between Dooku's. Because this is how the timeline went. Tails of the Jedi isn't a story of One Jedi, but two. Giving context to parts of the story; missing from the movies, and the Clone Wars series. I thought it was perfect at is, and really filled in gaps in the story, I didn't know.
The connection for me in the two stories is that they are both Jedi that leave the Jedi Order and become disillusioned but have two different paths. We already know so much about Ashoka that there was no story really to tell that was on par with Dooku because we knew very little about him. Outside of after his fall, Dooku Jedi Lost and little details in Master and appreciate. This was amazing and you gained a new subscriber it's nice to see people that love star wars and have the knowledge
I’m glad that they’re exploring different ways of telling stories. Not just Star Wars but Disney. Werewolf by night being an hour long special. The Dooku story being 3 short episodes. Not everything needs to be a feature length film or drawn out to a traditional season. Less need to invent story to fill air time when you can get right to the meat of it
@Nerdy Nightly, 7:35 Why would Qui-Gonn talk about it? He was raised by Dooku. We saw how Qui-Gonn was in the prequels, he was a bit of a rebel himself, always at odds with the council. Qui-Gonn took things into his own hands, like we see Dooku doing here. Qui-Gonn was the way he was because of Dooku. Dooku put him on the path that Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka would later follow. Dooku and Anakin's search for justice pushed them towards the Dark side of the Force. The Jedi, adhering to ancient systems, boxed themselves in a corner they couldn't get themselves out of. Dooku tried to get the council to see things differently, and they weren't having it, they ostracized him. "Systems either change or die." --Dedra Meero Qui-Gonn was right, and because he was left without support, he succumbed to the Dark side, but not before planting the seed that would bring about a new age of Jedi. His beliefs were instilled in his Padawan, Qui-Gonn and Qui-Gonn passed on his knowledge to his own Padawan who did the same in turn. "We are what they grow beyond." --Master Yoda Dooku might have failed, but Ahsoka became the Jedi Dooku wanted to be and hoped the Jedi would be.
It’s honestly crazy that you don’t think Yaddle and Yoda can have a different way of speaking. We as humans have thousands of accents, languages, dialects, and we are one species on one planet. Did you know there are Hutts who speak English and Hutts that speak Huttese? They don’t all sound like Jabba. It’s a wild take.
Maybe it's possible that they wanted to save some things about Ashoka for the upcoming live action, maybe some flashbacks. I struggle to believe that we're never going to see how she gets taken into the Jedi Order. These shorts are excellent.
They should have called it Tale of A Jedi and make it only about Dooku. The 3 episodes were great and really develeoped him as character who was just a moustage twerling antagonist before for the most part
I think they should have named it what you said and release 4-6 episode seasons and each season focuses on a different Jedi.... some we know and others that exist but we don’t know much about and they can be set anywhere from 100 years before the clone wars up to during the war
I loved Dooku's story as it brought him closer to his Legends characterization. I think the reason why they didn't make a movie out of it was because they frankly dumbed Dooku down in the main canon in favor of hyping up Maul's story. They made Dooku less "cool" and underestimated the maturity of their audiences who wanted to see Dooku become a fallen hero.
Don't know if you guys know this yet but Yoda speaks the way he does because his master spoke that way. It encouraged patience in the listener because it was such a round about way of speaking.
They put the one Ahsoka episode first, so people would watch the show by luring them in with Ahsoka, fearing people wouldn't watch it if it started with Dooku. Then they trick you to watch the Dooku stuff by placing it right after the first Ahsoka episode, and since the Dooku episodes tells one story they all come after each other.
The episodes are in chronological order. Baby Asohka, then the three Dooku episodes lead in to The Phantom Menace, then back to Asohka during and post Clone Wars.
I don’t know if this is exactly true, but Yoda may be speaking an older version of this Galactic Common tongue. So while his species language has probably remained unchanged, the galaxies would have a lot!
I can't understand why they put Life and Death as the first episode too. Is not even for the chronological order, I think, as Ahsoka was 14 at the beginning of Clone Wars and Phantom Menace is 10 years before that, so... Yeah, weird choice there
They probably just thought it worked better as a season opener. They did the same thing with Clone Wars, as many of the episodes aren't in chronological order. The Ahsoka Journey arc in season 7 actually takes place before the Bad Batch arc.
Filoni is the one who ruined Dooku in TCW by making him obviously pure evil and a prick towards everyone. Him finally acknowledging basic lore and bastardizing a bunch of comics/novels to make this barely earns him any credit.
Palatine was a genius. He got Maul when he needed a thug, Dooku when he needed a statesman, and Anakin when he needed a soldier.
Youngling slayer*
Also he got Dooku as a failsafe to act as the fake master to Maul if the Jedi catch on.
Maul was supposed to be what Vader was until he failed, he was a banite Sith and was destined for greatness, it was when Anakin was discovered he needed a placeholder in Dooku. Maul was a hidden diamond, Dooku was an old gem, Anakin was the best of both potential wise.
I also love how Lucas made Maul, Dooku, and Grievous to show the 3 aspects of Vader. The Warrior, The Fallen Jedi, and the Cyborg.
great way of putting it, but i wouldnt say maul was a thug, just "the first one" if you know what i mean

I didn’t watch clone wars… this made me want to watch and want a miniseries with Dooku. I liked the Asoka episodes but loved the Dooku episodes.
Clone wars is great! If you liked these, there's a lot there to love!

Yoda is the only one of his kind that talks the way he does in order to honor his master. Yaddle talks like how Their race normally talks.

Yoda is speaking how his master did. Of course, this could be an older way Jedi would speak, wish Disney would focus more content on the history .
It’s honestly crazy that you don’t think Yaddle and Yoda can have a different way of speaking. We as humans have thousands of accents, languages, dialects, and we are one species on one planet.

A great tribute to Christopher Lee.
I heard Yoda speaks the way he does because his master did and that's how he chose to honor him.
the 6 episodes all follow a timeline, Asoka being born was before TPM then 2-4 take place durning TPM, while 5-6 take place after Order 66
I think you were trying to say that you were expecting more of a slow burn with Doodu's fall into the "dark side".
Maybe it's possible that they wanted to save some things about Ashoka for the upcoming live action, maybe some flashbacks. I struggle to believe that we're never going to see how she gets taken into the Jedi Order.

Thanks, Nerdy! Thanks, Clarus! 📜 #NerdyNightly #StarWars #TalesOfTheJedi #DisneyPlus
I haven’t read the Ahsoka novel but interested.
I don’t know if this is exactly true, but Yoda may be speaking an older version of this Galactic Common tongue. So while his species language has probably remained unchanged, the galaxies would have a lot!
Exactly. I think Yoda is so ancient he uses the Star Wars equivalent of the Anglo Saxon's Old English from the Middle Ages.
Are you still going to react to the other Andor episodes? I really enjoyed your thoughts and insights to the show.
Yup! 7+8 will be up Saturday, and 9 on Sunday so that 10 can go up on time on Wednesday!
LMAO "AND THAT'S WHAT I SAID ABOUT CADSUADE!'
I can't understand why they put Life and Death as the first episode too. Is not even for the chronological order, I think, as Ahsoka was 14 at the beginning of Clone Wars and Phantom Menace is 10 years before that, so... Yeah, weird choice there

We need *Love Death + Robots* reactions 🙏🙏
The reason yoda talks like that is because it compels others to pay attention to his every word. It's not something natural to his species.
17:40
Eagerly awaiting the next Chainsaw Man reaction! 😊
Coming Monday! And then Tuesday we will be back on time
Can I share your video as a reaction video on my channell?? 😆😊😊
As long as you tag us!
Pain genuine pain thank filoni that’s all 😂
Filoni is good at that lol
Filoni is the one who ruined Dooku in TCW by making him obviously pure evil and a prick towards everyone. Him finally acknowledging basic lore and bastardizing a bunch of comics/novels to make this barely earns him any credit.
So you're implying black queer voices are more important than "white dudes" because why?
Lol what a weird observation
Yeah. I thought the same thing two. Like who cares.
