The actor who played Count Dooku, Christopher Lee, was well known to older audiences, since he used to play a vampire, more precisely, Count Dracula. At the start of his career, since he was very, tall, he played the rôle of the creature of Frankenstein. And later, he played the rôle of Count Dracula in 4 or 5 other movies, which were made by same production (Hammer) with the same actors. In all of these movies, he had another well known colleague from the Star Wars fans, Peter Cushing (Grand Moff Tarkin) Christopher Lee is a fascinating man and actor, very well suited for the rôle of Count Dooku and later, Saruman.
He was also a skilled fencer and trained with sword fighting in his earlier years as well. Due to his age the Makashi style fit him both as a jedi and a real life fencing expert.
Dooku had a lot of common with Anakin and its a real loss that they did not cross paths to be mentor and student. They both come from the outer rim and know the republic cannot save the downtrodden and they know that bonds and attachments can be strengths and weakness but is a core of a humans being,
You make a good point. I actually saw a "What if" video on Pente Patrol Star Wars where Dooku actually trained Anakin. I thought it was really interesting.
@@brokenbridge6316 The thing is Obi-wan while being the "negotiator" he only maintained the status quo. They only cemented Jabba's grip on the outer rim while lining the senator's pockets.

@@SingleTax You are right, however its not like forms are straight up superior to each other. It depends on how you integrate it. For instance looking at some evannova/jensaari versus series. Some users of niman would get thrashed by most masters of dueling forms like Makashi, Juyo, Djem So, etc. Others like exar kun who use it in a much less textbook way and integrate effective force attacks all the time, will be really effective. If a certain style is best suited to your overall fighting style, physicality and force abilities, none will truly be a limitating unless you only stick to "by the book" jedi manual type usage of the form.
Jack of all trades master of none, yet more often than not better than a master of one. Anakin had Mastered Form 5 yet also incorporated Form 4 into it, and he bested Dooku in the end.
It's literally based on fencing, Sir Christopher Lee was a fencer and wanted his lightsaber and fighting form to be reminiscent of it since he was too old to do things like Ataru
This is all because Christopher Lee was a badass in real life. And holds the record for the most film roles in which there's a swordfight, as he was quite the swordsman. He even got to "duel" Errol Flynn. So it would make sense for Dooku to specialize in a lightsaber form that allows him to show off his dueling skills.
Also he could've killed Anakin like a dozen times or more during the clone wars and but followed orders not to. Plus even at his weakest when fighting Anakin for the last time he would've tried harder if he knew Anakin was going to kill him instead of spare him.
I personally believe form 2 plus form 3 would make for the best all around dueling style. Form 2 is what lightsabers were made for. The precision it allows for is incredible. Lightsabers don't need to be used like clubs. Adding form 3 for the ultimate defense closes the gaps in form 2. Stopping form 5 users like Anakin from building momentum that could overpower form 2.
One thing i find interesting is that Makashi was good in 1v1 duels but generally weak vs multiple opponents at least historically. Yet Dooku was such a master of it he was able to match foes engaging him in 2+vs Dooku fights or even vs 1 opponent using 2 weapons another weakness of the form (shown in Episode 2 when Anakin matches Dooku for a while despite Dooku's Experience, remember at this time Anakin is just 18 and only has 10 years of training under his belt). The only jedi to match him in combat were Yoda, Probably Mace Windu (dont remember if they actually met in combat tho), Anakin and Obi-Wan (tho in this case neither could get the upper hand the defensive style of Obi-Wan just meant Dooku rarely penetrated his defense but at the same time without help Obi-Wan couldnt land a hit either. Which is probably why Dooku often Used the Force to nock Obi-Wan down.) In Anakin tho i think Dooku found an almost perfect opponent. Both were almost evenly matched till their final encounter. And while Dooku often escaped Anakin their fights between their first and last meetings often resulted in draws. Im not sure if Sidious wanted Dooku to ensure Anakin was a strong fighter which is why the 2 had so many encounters but it would make sense. Anakin was a young man strong in the force and a skilled warrior, Sidious however hated physical combat. You can see this by the apprentices he chose. Darth Maul was a dangerous assassin and warrior, beaten by a young Obi-wan. Dooku was also a skilled duelist but he was older and the dark side takes a toll on ones body as they age. Anakin however was young, skilled in starship and lightsaber combat, the "chosen one" of prophecy, a good strategist amd had a secret love affair with a senator and was married to her. These were all things Sidious could use to tempt and thus turn Anakin to the dark side. Even in episode 1 Sidious states he would watch Anakins career closely. Meaning he saw the boy as a potential apprentice and enforcer he just had to steer him in the "right" direction.
“How fortunate I am… to have an apprentice who feels it is appropriate to lecture me.” … “And only then did Dooku understand that he’d been suckered. Skywalker’s Shien ready-stance had been a ruse, as had his Ataro gymnastics; the boy was a Djem So stylist, and as fine a one as Dooku had ever seen. His own elegant Makashi simply did not generate the kinetic power to meet Djem So head-to-head. Especially not while also defending against a second attacker. It was time to alter his own tactics.” Excerpt From Book - Revenge of the Sith Matthew Stover This material may be protected by copyright.
Something I always thought of is what if a force sensitive was a sociopath, or just don’t feel feelings like everyone else. Would they even be able to use the Dark Side since you need your emotions?
Yes this is similar to Palpatine. He was a force sensitive when he was a child but he had darkness in his heart. To be free of his family, he murdered them as a child and went on to practice the dark force.
It was a mistake that the Jedi dismiss the second form, and Dooku was equal foolish only have that one. All lightsaber users should be at least a master of their preferred form and near master all. It better have a preferred one form but add others to it to make up the weaknesses
They both have different styles yoda needs to expend more energy to flip and move as quick as he does so if dooku hadn't ran away I see 2 possiblys 1: dooku tires out yoda then wins or 2: yoda kills dooku before he can.
I like form 2 best out of all the forms for its elegance and one handed style but I would have used a hybrid form that included soresu as well to compensate for the weakness against blaster deflection.
I wonder if Mace W va-pod style would be effective against Dooku's form 2 style 🤔. Could Dooku's style be effective against Sidious (experienced in all styles)?
I love that he gets slowly weaker as the ages and Anakin slowly become stronger even though and it's only when these two points meet he can actually beat him
Was dookun actually sith? Yes he used the dark side but the more i learn about him the more it seems like he was trying to right flaws in the republic & jedi order rather than gain power himself.
@@DarkEinherjar but wasn’t sidious just using him as a means to get anakin? Also how often did he go by his sith title? Throughout the war everyone even himself seemed to refer to him as dooku
All with the Exception of form seven, which has its own light saber variant that relies on aggression stidious trained maul to used it And only extremely specific jedi were allowed to even practice it.
I'm going to be brutally honest. If you are Yoda fanatic, do not read this. There were Jedi and Sith at the time of the Clone Wars that could best Yoda, Count Dooku could have absolutely done so if he pressed his attack during attack of the Clones. Palpatine could have bested Yoda if they were in an open field or something like that where Yoda had limited objects to bounce off of, Anakin could have done so during Order 66 if his power and skill continue to grow as he was feeding off of the death and destruction at the temple.
While I wouldn't choose this form (I would choose 3. or 1.) I have respect for this form, even more with Dooku, because he evolved it into form, that can deflect lasers and fight against multiple opponents.
I have always thought that the argument against it being good against blaster fire was incorrect. Form 2 is about precision, if you can block, parry or deflect a lightsaber blade from a Force user, that same accuracy should be able to block and deflect blaster fire. I have become a fan of Form 6, it gives you basic concepts of the other forms and allows you to take a deeper dive into Forms that fit your ability, age, and morality at a particular point. Add in Form #7 at times, because in a duel to the death, there are no rules.
Videos like this one are great, but they also highlight some of the nonsense and hyperbole that star wars writers are often guilty of. For example, if form 2 was typically the best form for dueling other lightsaber combatants, then why would Palpatine ever bother to master more than 2 forms? It's simply a terrible use of one's time, and leaves little room for character development. Dooku's mastery of a fencing form matches his patrician character, just as Kenobi's matches his defensive and borderline-pacifist personality. Dooku's also explains why he was so deadly to the Jedi, while Kenobi's speaks to why he survived so many battles. But why on Earth would the Palpatine master all seven? It's an idea that smacks of people trying to put these characters into 'tiers' rather than building out coherent characters in a relatable universe.
He thought jedi should specialize in one form on lightsaber combat and makashi is ideal for one on one, but he had many lightsaber battles against anakin and obi wan at the same time. I’ve also seen him deflect blaster bolts before. I’m pretty sure dooku did more than one lightsaber combat style
Lord Vader father behide everything king Darth plagues fake his death 💀 he coming every body miss point not palpatine behide everything but Luke skywalker grandfather behide everything by cloneing himself over over king Darth plagues wise coming
STOP SAYING IN EVERY VIDEO that Yoda had trouble matching Dooku, he easily matched Dooku and was about to turn it up and kill him, which Dooku noticed and thus put Skywalker and Kenobi in danger so he could escape. Yoda even referred to his fight against Dooku as a "sparring session," so your constant take of him having trouble with Dooku is so far off it is pathetic.
It's a pity we didn't get Windu vs Dooku because it has become even more clear and transparent that the legendary mace windu would utterly destroy dooku in lightsaber combat. Dooku feared windu when in the geonosis arena mace single handedly beheaded the galaxy's best bounty hunter like it was nothing, dooku looked stunned and afraid and this would surface again if he had to face mace. Not only was Mace Windu the second most powerful jedi behind yoda but he has also shatterpoint which would ultimately ensure dooku would lose his battle with master windu.
@PhantomCookie87 he would of still killed him with the jetpack , windu had shatterpoint , he would of sliced him in half when he reached the ground if he escaped on his jetpack. Windu was no ordinary jedi , even the sith from the past feared master windu , it was written in the book of the sith that ancient sith such as Marka Ragnos feared the prophecy of what mace windu was which was the jedi's champion capable of beating the sith through Vaapad .

Dooku's lightsaber was so deadly, it cut right through his own neck
I just want to say I love your videos and keep up the great work
What about the use of the "Light foil" on Serreno? The nobility used light foils to settle "matters of honor".

You'd probably be more of a jedi because u need a calm mind to use the light side as opposed the the dark that uses you emotions
Dooku wasn't the only one that practice Makashi in the Jedi order.
Well, Dooku's lightsaber is meant for mastery of Form 2 Makashi. It's my favourite lightsaber and Form.
It was a mistake that the Jedi dismiss the second form, and Dooku was equal foolish only have that one. All lightsaber users should be at least a master of their preferred form and near master all. It better have a preferred one form but add others to it to make up the weaknesses
Exar Kun in a way proved it he used the Sixth and parts of four and five make up the lack of aggression which many Jedi and Sith pointed out
Dooku's Lightsaber along with the High Repulic's Crossguard Lightsabers are my favorites.
I think yoda"struggled" more so based off of his size not skill per se. Yoda at least to me appeared to be in control of his fight for the most part
@@kwametodd6094 Not sure about that. In my view Yoda seemed more in control due his style DEMANDING he be both moving and aggressively attacking.
