His saber was curved when he was a Jedi. It’s one of the main reasons yoda was so concerned because it’s specifically designed for saber battles and the Jedi had been avoiding conflict for a thousand years.
Despite his limited screen time in the films (I highly recommend the Jedi Lost audiobook to get his backstory) Dooku became my favorite character and his lightsaber was always gonna be a must buy for me (it actually was the first thing I bought in Galaxy’s Edge a few weeks ago). You can’t ask for a better portrayal of refined evil than Sir Christopher Lee and his curved hilt perfectly reflected that along with his fighting style. Appreciate hearing some of the cons, I discovered how easily one can deactivate the saber when I was testing it out.
Hey Adam!! I totally agree, I wish we had seen more of him in the films, although his fight scenes were epic. Probably wore out poor Christopher. lol Do you know what might help with an activation switch? I wonder if anyone has ever made a type of sticky group for toys? To help slow down the joints of action figures that get too loose. Know what I mean? That would probably help to keep from accidentally turning the saber off.
Dookus saver is curved due to his grip on the saber, he knew he’d start duels, the curved saber is more effective for swinging and attacking, on the other hand the Jedi use lightsabers to protect and guard, they don’t attack random people so their sabers are straight.
Hey Crafty, thanks for sharing that. You are the only person to comment that interesting fact! It makes perfect sense. You have forever change the way I look at Dooku's saber, nicely done.
The curved hilt actually caused swings to be a lot shallower and weaker, but is optimized for thrusting, as it puts the blade more in line with your arm when extending.
Hey Nathan! WoW, that's a huge compliment, we work really hard to try and make our videos entertaining and that's very kind of you to say. We may not always like all of the items we review but we try to always keep things respectful and fun.
Also a fun bit about dooku, he was so skilled and confident of his abilities that he learned the other forms very in depth too, and had a bad habit of mirror matching his opponents lightsaber combat style to beat them with their own moves
I just got it and I absolutely love it. I went yesterday for my friends birthday. and it is such an honor to have one these lightsabers from the movies. :)
Yess!!! I totally remember that feeling of holding your first real lightsaber! Enjoy it bro, it will last longer if you don't go buy another saber tomorrow. Ha ha
I was finally able to go to Galaxy's Edge this past week. It was awesome. Your videos have helped me the past few months decide on which legacy saber I would buy and I ended up getting Kylo's!! Love your videos! Keep up the good work!
Yesss!!! Thank you so much for that! We love hearing that people really enjoy our videos and that they help people make pretty big Star Wars decisions. We hope that you had an awesome time even during the pandemic. 👍🏻😷
Great video! I have just found your guy’s channel around 3 months ago and I am loving the vids. Count Dooku has also always had a curved blade even when he was a Jedi.
Dookus saber is curved because he specialises in Form II “Mikashi” which is a lightsaber form designed for duelling other lightsabers (like fencing). Jedi’s hilts were usually straight as it allow for easy blaster deflection and swinging. Dookus was rare in the Order as when he was a Jedi, the Sith were believed to be extinct, so there was no need for curved hilts for lightsaber duelling or specialising in a lightsaber form that focused on duelling. But Dooku believed the Sith weren’t extinct and became infatuated with the belief that they were still out there. The problem with Dookus saber wasbecause it was curved and thus built for duelling lightsabers and other melee weapons, it wasnt very good against blasters. It’s because of this that he was so easily able to beat other Jedi like Anakin and Kenobi as his saber was better suited for lightsaber on lightsaber combat. The spike on the emitter was to help balance the weight of the saber due to the curve and pummel adding a bit or weight to the bottom. It was essential as his saber and Mikashi combat style was meant to give Jedi the ability to easily, elegantly and effectively use the saber with one hand and use force powers with the other. Where as other sabers required 2 hands. (Sorry it sounds so geeky but just thought you’d like to know. Great vid btw!)
WOW Matt, this comment clearly demonstrates your great knowledge of the Force and the lightsaber art. I really wish we knew that bit of information about the spike emitter before our recent saber review. Are you this knowledgeable in all aspects of Star Wars?? 😳👏🏻
@@FindingTheForce I would like to think so 😂 I could definitely talk and debate about Star Wars for hours, even if it’s about small things light the shape of Lightsaber. Star Wars has been a great escape for me when times were tough or I was stressed. Plus I’ve always seen people like Luke as my hero and someone I aspire to be like as a person. So over the years I’ve just watched, read and learnt about Star Wars Lore as a dedicated fan and at 19 years old I just have all this Star Wars knowledge that I get can talk about thanks to things like RUclips.

Hey Victor! Thanks for the compliment!! I jumped up just for you buddy and got it out of my closet. I have big hands... but I do not think it is "overly" thick. Feels great actually!
Hey shells, my number one favorite saber of all time, hands down, no question, is Luke Skywalker's green return of the Jedi saver. For pure luxe and also historical purposes. What is yours?
lol... Have you noticed that Landon and I have same style, but opposite! lol... It's timeless!! Nice style .... Gangster Kitty.... 😂 hilarious RUclips name.
Legacy... hmmm... Sorry for the late response buddy. They say some are limited edition, but you kind of have to go with your gut. But if you like episodes 1-3 then maybe Dooku should be next?
What a bummer break, we are very sorry to hear that. This has been a terrible rough year for everyone, which is why we made that silly Christmas video just to spread some Christmas cheer.
I checked out the links provided and I was wondering when will the Count Dooku and the clone wars Ahsoka sabers be available? Are you still planning on getting yours signed? I heard Ashlley Eckstein will be at Galaxycon live. You could send it in for a signing since you guys missed the first signing at Galaxy’s Edge.
Hey Ethan, thank you so much for using our links we really appreciate that! That's a great question, I think they are still selling out at the Disney parks so it might be a while before they are available on Amazon
Hey Russell, great question! Yes it absolutely does. Thankfully all of the legacy sabers are all designed to use the belt clip that they sell in Galaxy's Edge.
That’s why I wait for a few weeks or months until Disney fixes the problems for the Legacy Lightsabers, I only have Anakin’s and I did find a really cool thing about it. When you activate it, strike it like your having a battle or give the saber a little pressure on your finger(like your on a motorcycle and giving the motorcycle more gas) and turn it off, it turns into a orange color when you deactivate it
Hey QTM. From what I have heard from people I think you are right. It's still really bizarre to picture him with that creepy dagger saber wearing tan and brown as a Jedi. Ha ha
The sabers clash effects seem a bit delayed also I was wondering what editing software do you use? Great vid as always! EDIT: AT 11:43 The red pice at the end seems a but dull but other than that perfect
Hey Cat Boi!! We always appreciate hearing from you. Editing these videos?? I used iMovie for years, but have been using Final Cut Pro for the last year. Trying to get faster, but I still put SOOO much time into these videos. I hope is shows. 😕
3 months after my birthday (which is when I was initially supposed to get it but I was low on funds and my “Credits *WILL* do fine” mind trick failed) I finally got this lightsaber for myself and it’s nearly everything I could’ve hoped for. I do wish it was thinner and lighter weight and that the activation switch was the gold part at the top of the saber (because it wouldn’t make sense for the red switch to be the activation switch because this saber is meant to be one handed and you wouldn’t really be able to reach the red switch but your thumb can hit the gold one on top) but other than that I absolutely love this thing. It is a fine edition to my collection….that currently only has this and is awaiting Qui Gon’s legacy lightsaber. Thankfully mine doesn’t squeak at all and there are no wiggling parts but I think there was a slight update to the legacy lightsabers between the time you got yours and I got mine.
Just to be curious, how long is the blade that they used in this video to demonstrate the activation and deactivation sounds of Count Dooku’s lightsaber?
I have this one, I have successfully modified it to neopixel with the original blade-connector system. I also added bluetooth to it. The worst part of the conversion is getting it apart, you really have to be careful with the pommel and you want to retain the integrity of the lower fin. If I had another to do again, I could do it 10/10. I would rate my first attempt at 7/10. I would not skip this because you can mod it to be a great officially licensed product, while also freaking anyone out who might see it at disney when you bring it back there for photo ops (think, change colors off to the side with bluetooth).
Hey quick question. Do you buy these on Amazon? I just bought one off of Amazon and I am worried about the quality. I know I can always return it, but just wanted to make sure the legacy Amazon sabers where as good quality as if you were to buy it at Dok Ondars.
Hey SW Decrypted! I hope maybe you used our amazon link!!! 🤞🏻 If not, no worries. Since Disneyland has been closed, we hired smugglers for our Ahsoka and Dooku sabers. We mentioned them in review videos. I didn't compare the Amazon prices though. But if I am not mistaken I think everything on Amazon can be returned before January 31 because of Christmas.
@@FindingTheForce btw if you want some AMAZING sabers look up the seller kupe_taty on Ebay he actually sells a rey lightsaber among the 400 other he sells
To answer your Question. Yes, he always had a slight curve on his saber. If you watch Tales of the Jedi, you can see the curve in his blue lightsaber :)
The main reason to unique curve on his saber is due to his fighting style. He doesnt fight like a normal jedi or sith. They use typical sword fighting skills. However, dooku fights with style of fencing. That's why its curved. Because he is more skilled with the fencing technique than a typical sword. It's amazing
You are totally right, thanks for the comment. But what I respect is that he does not turn his body radically sideways and reach really long with his arm. He faces his opponent head-on and fights him with class. Ha ha
I’ve never watched your channel man but you have a cool kid I’m happy for ya man. I think you’re my age (38) so I can relate to you quite a bit and growing up with the same thing. I feel like kids are not wanting to do with their parents at an even younger age and want to be adults young which eliminates parents getting to be close with their kids. But ya that’s cool bro 😊
Thanks so much TLB! We are glad to hear that your saber does not squeak like ours! We hope everybody has better experiences with their sabers than we have had! Ha ha
I believe you are correct Robert. You probably mean it was made for Dooku to duel with in the movies? I don't think the saber would hold up very well for dueling. Ha ha
Girlfriend and I are going on a trip to universal and the trader outpost in disney springs is going to be our side stop. I ain't leaving without my damn lightsaber. May have botched the tickets to galaxy's edge but that ain't stopping me from getting a light saber as a keepsake. Been making a list and oddly enough they're mostly sith lol. Jedi fan. Just in case they don't got what I initially want which is dooku It'll be a choice between Maul, Ventress, and the jedi temple guard. And maybe mace windu.
hahaha... that's awesome Furion! Just a heads up that I heard they will be discontinuing the Temple Guard and Ventress. Although personally, I think Darth Maul would probably be the most fun. If you decide to get a single blade light saber I highly recommend getting one of the custom neo pixel blades that we did a video on. They make the Sabers like 5X more fun!
This comment is super late but I've been seeing a lot of half right stories about dookus curved saber, so I figured I'd add a comment about what is currently Canon. Currently in Canon, Dooku was always super skilled at duelling, and he favored form 2 which is specifically for lightsaber vs lightsaber, which was odd because at that time most of the weapons they fought were blasters. He dedicated himself to mastering that fencing style form, and he built a curved handle because the jedi use the force to help them predict where the saber blades will be in a duel, and with a curved hilt the blades angle for any given attack is always SLIGHTLY in the wrong place which makes it very unpredictable to the opponent
I'm hopefully going to Galaxy's Edge in February. I was planning on picking up both the Kylo Ren and Ashoka Tano Rebels but sadly the Ashoka Rebels Saber was discontinued. So I'm debating between Rey, Leia and Dooku's as my second saber.
If I remember correctly Dooku did have a standard lightsaber in the beginning and then went on to build this one. He had some very strong feelings about lightsaber dueling.
@@FindingTheForce thanks for these review videos!!! I was looking to buy the dooku saber but after watching all your videos I've narrowed my choices down to Obi-Wan, Anakins, or Luke's. Though if they ever release Qui-Gonn Jins lightsaber in all over it!
The reason why Count Dooku had that saber was because his actor, Christopher Lee, was a professional fencer. Because standard hilt lightsabers are held like katanas, they wanted to give him something that was more in his toolbox.
His lightsaber is a curved hilt but it was a different version of the hilt when he was a Jedi master to qui gon jinn with a blue blade before he redesigned the hilt when he turned to the dark side in tales of the Jedi
Interesting. I have noticed that the hills are often times wider, especially in the larger companies. They probably don't want to change the shape or size of their cheap plastic chassis.
The actual reason dookus saber is curved is because it’s supposed to represent the first gen of sabers. The first sabers were curved and wired, attached to a battery on the belt. This first gen sabers are found in the comics from 20 years ago.
I think Dooku has his lightsaber built like that, mainly for how he fights, which is similar fencing, and rapier combat. For the crystal, he bled it, which is basically how sith make their lightsaber crystal red in current canon.
Hey Darth Maul, we totally agree. His fighting style definitely matches his saber style. It's just very bizarre to think of him as a Jedi with that super scary weapon. Ha ha
I have an idea! Why don't you put all your galaxys edge lightsabers on the floor and make a epic lightsaber battle best out of 3 and you can choose the lightsaber you like and at the same time you have fun, make content, transmit us the fun and show how good at dueling the lightsabers are😉
@@FindingTheForce Which is why I just bought his Star Wars The Black series helmet from Hasbro. I might do a review of that at some point. It’s pretty cool. Lol
he originally had curved hilt for.dueling because it.could swing in stranger angles making it hard to be defeated and thats why yoda suposedly decided not to theach dooku lightsaber dueling
dookus lightsaber has always been curved because he built is for duels for swinging attacks basically where the jedi usually use straight hilts because they are always on the defensive when count dooku has always been on the offensive
Hi Sutter family you’re my favorite go to for lightsabers reviews....you know that. 😁 I purchased this lightsaber hilt only to add to my collection and in my display case with my other Dark Side sabers. I wouldn’t duel with it at least not this one the point could be dangerous. I’m still trying to get my hands on Ahsoka ....still sold out 😞. But I’m hoping it’s restocked soon I’m going to reach out to your other smuggler too and see which of the two can get them for me first. I’ll keep you posted.
Awww shucks... we better be!! j/k 😉 for the crazy amount of time I put into these videos. Ha ha I'm glad to hear we could at least help you find another resource to try and purchase them. Sorry to hear they are sold out. That sounds odd, I have not heard of any of the other sabers selling out since GE opened..??? 🤔
@@FindingTheForce hi yep all Ahsoka sabers are currently sold out. I was there about 2 was ago and all gone. The I reached out to scavenger princess and she confirmed still sold out.😔 I guess I have to be patient and wait. Eventually I’ll get them 😬
Hey Corbin! Actually the smuggler I mentioned in the video I don't think wants to smuggle anymore. Watch our color changing Ahsoka Tano video and message that Smuggler! 👍🏻
It’s obvious that this contest cannot be won by our knowledge of the force, but by our skills with a lightsaber. I always thought Dooku’s lightsaber was shaped like a banana shaped p’nis 😜😂😜 On an aside I met someone who had one like that when I was in school, I was a year above him... anyway... I hope you and yours are doing okay and that Landon is still enjoying the clone wars. You guys take care 🤘 PS there’s a lot of that’s what she said in this video 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😅😅
@@FindingTheForce What? The double entendres/innuendos were real in this video. In fact you might say the force was strong with this one. 😜😂🤣😅😜 I thought you’d know by now I have no filter, anyway that story (for me at least) was more like another lifetime. That said I still found it appropriate to share because me 😜
Thanks a lot Michael! Star Wars is totally our thing together. We don't watch movies or lightsaber fight with anyone else! Ha ha thanks so much for watching.
@@FindingTheForce yeah ofc! I think it is awesome you do it with him! It's great bonding and it's so cool when you can share interests and things with your kid and maybe share some information and knowledge with him. Definitely my new favorite Star Wars channel. Just subscribed!
No my friends it didn't get bent because he went to the dark side. Lol. Count Dooku designed it that way to fit his fighting style. I've never really found his lightsaber to be scary, I think its a thing of beauty. It looks like the weapon of a refined man
You are right Garrett, that tends to be a serious pattern with all of the Disney parks and Hasbro sabers. Small price to pay for a far less expensive price from the designer sabers.
No count dookus saber was curved i think since he was 15, he became the best duelist in the entire jedi academy and the entire jedi order before he left, however yoda highly disapproved and reprimanded dooku for his saber as it was meant to duel other sabers, dooku was obsessed with finding and destroying the sith so he practiced to beat a sith lord but yoda believing the sith to be long gone was always telling dooku he made a mistake
Dooku had 2 sabers as a Jedi one normal then he made another curved one that looks like the his sith one and curved lightsabers are a actual type of lightsaber some of the most powerful jedi and sith used a curved lightsaber hilt.
From someone who doesn’t know it seems like you’re being really nit picky, but I know why, it’s because they’re $200+ dollars! That’s quite unfortunate that you had to go through that.
Hey Jonah! Thanks for sharing man. Is it a lightsaber, does it turn on, yes! But what I have learned is that it's a very fine details that make a really big difference when you're spending that much money. Wiggly parts, the sound volume, sensitivity, These are all things that I think a lot of people take in the consideration, especially if they can only afford to purchase one lightsaber. 👍🏻
One day London is going to look back at this video and he's going to get those jokes. Lol
Hahahaha... 😂 I know, right! It's going to be great. Maybe I'll make a video about THAT... when he's a tall and awkward teenager with acne. lol

3 months after my birthday (which is when I was initially supposed to get it but I was low on funds and my “Credits *WILL* do fine” mind trick failed) I finally got this lightsaber for myself and it’s nearly everything I could’ve hoped for. I do wish it was thinner and lighter weight and that the activation switch was the gold part at the top of the saber (because it wouldn’t make sense for the red switch to be the activation switch because this saber is meant to be one handed and you wouldn’t really be able to reach the red switch but your thumb can hit the gold one on top) but other than that I absolutely love this thing. It is a fine edition to my collection….that currently only has this and is awaiting Qui Gon’s legacy lightsaber. Thankfully mine doesn’t squeak at all and there are no wiggling parts but I think there was a slight update to the legacy lightsabers between the time you got yours and I got mine.
Just to be curious, how long is the blade that they used in this video to demonstrate the activation and deactivation sounds of Count Dooku’s lightsaber?
I have this one, I have successfully modified it to neopixel with the original blade-connector system. I also added bluetooth to it. The worst part of the conversion is getting it apart, you really have to be careful with the pommel and you want to retain the integrity of the lower fin. If I had another to do again, I could do it 10/10. I would rate my first attempt at 7/10. I would not skip this because you can mod it to be a great officially licensed product, while also freaking anyone out who might see it at disney when you bring it back there for photo ops (think, change colors off to the side with bluetooth).
Wow Steve, that sounds really tricky. Feel free to send us some photos to our email in the about tab. Also sounds like a really great hobby 👍🏻
Hey quick question. Do you buy these on Amazon? I just bought one off of Amazon and I am worried about the quality. I know I can always return it, but just wanted to make sure the legacy Amazon sabers where as good quality as if you were to buy it at Dok Ondars.
Hey SW Decrypted! I hope maybe you used our amazon link!!! 🤞🏻 If not, no worries.
Since Disneyland has been closed, we hired smugglers for our Ahsoka and Dooku sabers. We mentioned them in review videos. I didn't compare the Amazon prices though. But if I am not mistaken I think everything on Amazon can be returned before January 31 because of Christmas.
@@FindingTheForce Alright thanks, keep up the great work guys!
Could you guys compare it to the force fx saber?
You got it Charlie! It's definitely on our to do list. Thanks so much for watching man.👍🏻
Hi! I just wanna say that you should do a comparison of the force fx and the legacy.
Thanks Milo!! It looks like we won't have to wait long for that video!! 🙌🏻
@@FindingTheForce btw if you want some AMAZING sabers look up the seller kupe_taty on Ebay he actually sells a rey lightsaber among the 400 other he sells
Unfortunately the blade system makes all the hilts thicker then they should be
Which in turn... makes them all more difficult to do tricks with. Except Obi-Wan's Ep 1 saber. That one seems to be the best for tricking.
OT/PT trilogies of Star Wars films are my favorite. Since it’s what I grew up on as a kid. Lol
That's funny, it seems like most people are fans of the trilogy that was out around the time they were a kid. Ha ha
@@FindingTheForce I grew up in the nineties so I remember a time where the prequels weren’t even a thing.
Love seeing you and your son connecting on nerd culture. Me and my father still love StarWars till this day
That's awesome Jason! Thanks for sharing that. Star Wars is really just our thing. We don't watch movies or shows without the other. 😃
I have the same Stormtroopery Night Shirt.
Sweeeet!! Thanks for watching Poggle. You have good taste my friend. 👍🏻
@@FindingTheForce hey thanks. Of course man, thanks for the entertainment! I appreciate it
It’s always been bent and the light sabre hilt is exclusive to Makashi form two and form one fighting style
Very knowledgable in the force you are... Pengin. 👍🏻
To answer your Question.
Yes, he always had a slight curve on his saber. If you watch Tales of the Jedi, you can see the curve in his blue lightsaber :)
The main reason to unique curve on his saber is due to his fighting style. He doesnt fight like a normal jedi or sith. They use typical sword fighting skills. However, dooku fights with style of fencing. That's why its curved. Because he is more skilled with the fencing technique than a typical sword. It's amazing
You are totally right, thanks for the comment. But what I respect is that he does not turn his body radically sideways and reach really long with his arm. He faces his opponent head-on and fights him with class. Ha ha
I’ve never watched your channel man but you have a cool kid I’m happy for ya man. I think you’re my age (38) so I can relate to you quite a bit and growing up with the same thing. I feel like kids are not wanting to do with their parents at an even younger age and want to be adults young which eliminates parents getting to be close with their kids. But ya that’s cool bro 😊
Hmmm that’s weird, my Dooku saber doesn’t squeak like that? Well what can you do, I can’t wait till the legacy vs force Fx video comes out.
Thanks so much TLB! We are glad to hear that your saber does not squeak like ours! We hope everybody has better experiences with their sabers than we have had! Ha ha
That is why he is the GOAT
lol... I hardly ever hear that nickname! lol 👍🏻
Hey! The lightsaber was made specifically for Dueling, and for having the blade reach a specific angle that straight Hilts can’t obtain.
I believe you are correct Robert. You probably mean it was made for Dooku to duel with in the movies? I don't think the saber would hold up very well for dueling. Ha ha
Edit^
@@FindingTheForce it was actually made specifically for duelling, Christopher lee insisted it resemble an old style Rapier, which had a curved handle
Girlfriend and I are going on a trip to universal and the trader outpost in disney springs is going to be our side stop. I ain't leaving without my damn lightsaber. May have botched the tickets to galaxy's edge but that ain't stopping me from getting a light saber as a keepsake.
Been making a list and oddly enough they're mostly sith lol. Jedi fan.
Just in case they don't got what I initially want which is dooku
It'll be a choice between Maul, Ventress, and the jedi temple guard. And maybe mace windu.
hahaha... that's awesome Furion! Just a heads up that I heard they will be discontinuing the Temple Guard and Ventress. Although personally, I think Darth Maul would probably be the most fun. If you decide to get a single blade light saber I highly recommend getting one of the custom neo pixel blades that we did a video on. They make the Sabers like 5X more fun!
I can’t wait for the force fx and legacy dooku comparison. I already have the force fx dooku
Hey Nurse, we really appreciate that. It keeps getting pushed back because of all the new sabers coming out, but we will get to it.
This comment is super late but I've been seeing a lot of half right stories about dookus curved saber, so I figured I'd add a comment about what is currently Canon.
Currently in Canon, Dooku was always super skilled at duelling, and he favored form 2 which is specifically for lightsaber vs lightsaber, which was odd because at that time most of the weapons they fought were blasters. He dedicated himself to mastering that fencing style form, and he built a curved handle because the jedi use the force to help them predict where the saber blades will be in a duel, and with a curved hilt the blades angle for any given attack is always SLIGHTLY in the wrong place which makes it very unpredictable to the opponent
You are very knowledgeable in the force Terry. Thanks for that awesome comment.
I'm hopefully going to Galaxy's Edge in February. I was planning on picking up both the Kylo Ren and Ashoka Tano Rebels but sadly the Ashoka Rebels Saber was discontinued. So I'm debating between Rey, Leia and Dooku's as my second saber.
Here for the really bad dad jokes 😂
Woo hoo!! We got plenty of those! lol 😂
Isn't it a little too Orange...? Is that just the camera? I really was looking forward to a dooku crimson red saber
It is truly a beautiful lightsaber.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching Sigge.
can you get this at disneyland?
when are they gonna add the episode 3 obi wan saber
Oh man... I don’t know.. but I can’t wait! 🙌🏻
If I remember correctly Dooku did have a standard lightsaber in the beginning and then went on to build this one. He had some very strong feelings about lightsaber dueling.
lol... I sure hope you are right. The saber definitely does not look like it belongs to a peaceful Jedi. Thanks for watching ghost!
@@FindingTheForce thanks for these review videos!!! I was looking to buy the dooku saber but after watching all your videos I've narrowed my choices down to Obi-Wan, Anakins, or Luke's. Though if they ever release Qui-Gonn Jins lightsaber in all over it!
The reason why Count Dooku had that saber was because his actor, Christopher Lee, was a professional fencer. Because standard hilt lightsabers are held like katanas, they wanted to give him something that was more in his toolbox.
No one:
FTF: DJ AG
lol... that song is awesome!!
His lightsaber is a curved hilt but it was a different version of the hilt when he was a Jedi master to qui gon jinn with a blue blade before he redesigned the hilt when he turned to the dark side in tales of the Jedi
the piece on the pommel should be red and it isn’t on galaxy’s edge as well as the hilt itself is too thick.
Interesting. I have noticed that the hills are often times wider, especially in the larger companies. They probably don't want to change the shape or size of their cheap plastic chassis.
No he did not have a noder desine
No oder desine of lightsaber
The actual reason dookus saber is curved is because it’s supposed to represent the first gen of sabers. The first sabers were curved and wired, attached to a battery on the belt. This first gen sabers are found in the comics from 20 years ago.
I think Dooku has his lightsaber built like that, mainly for how he fights, which is similar fencing, and rapier combat. For the crystal, he bled it, which is basically how sith make their lightsaber crystal red in current canon.
Hey Darth Maul, we totally agree. His fighting style definitely matches his saber style. It's just very bizarre to think of him as a Jedi with that super scary weapon. Ha ha
I have an idea! Why don't you put all your galaxys edge lightsabers on the floor and make a epic lightsaber battle best out of 3 and you can choose the lightsaber you like and at the same time you have fun, make content, transmit us the fun and show how good at dueling the lightsabers are😉
hahaha... That's not a bad idea Hero! Or maybe some father/son bets... like eating vegetables, or ice water on the head if you lose!?! lol
Personally speaking I’d rather get the Darth Vader Legacy Lightsaber before I purchased the Count Dooku one. But that’s just me.
Absolutely. Vader is one of the most well known "bad guys" and.. Star Wars characters... in the world!
@@FindingTheForce Which is why I just bought his Star Wars The Black series helmet from Hasbro. I might do a review of that at some point. It’s pretty cool. Lol
he originally had curved hilt for.dueling because it.could swing in stranger angles making it hard to be defeated and thats why yoda suposedly decided not to theach dooku lightsaber dueling
dookus lightsaber has always been curved because he built is for duels for swinging attacks basically where the jedi usually use straight hilts because they are always on the defensive when count dooku has always been on the offensive
I like that, never thought of it that way. It’s just really hard to imagine a Jedi holding that scary ass saber!! 😆
Hi Sutter family you’re my favorite go to for lightsabers reviews....you know that. 😁 I purchased this lightsaber hilt only to add to my collection and in my display case with my other Dark Side sabers. I wouldn’t duel with it at least not this one the point could be dangerous. I’m still trying to get my hands on Ahsoka ....still sold out 😞. But I’m hoping it’s restocked soon I’m going to reach out to your other smuggler too and see which of the two can get them for me first. I’ll keep you posted.
Awww shucks... we better be!! j/k 😉 for the crazy amount of time I put into these videos. Ha ha
I'm glad to hear we could at least help you find another resource to try and purchase them. Sorry to hear they are sold out. That sounds odd, I have not heard of any of the other sabers selling out since GE opened..??? 🤔
@@FindingTheForce hi yep all Ahsoka sabers are currently sold out. I was there about 2 was ago and all gone. The I reached out to scavenger princess and she confirmed still sold out.😔 I guess I have to be patient and wait. Eventually I’ll get them 😬
He trained qui gon gin also he had the same lightsaber when he was a Jedi
Will the "smuggler" be willing to make purchases for others like me
Hey Corbin! Actually the smuggler I mentioned in the video I don't think wants to smuggle anymore. Watch our color changing Ahsoka Tano video and message that Smuggler! 👍🏻
@@FindingTheForce Thanks I appreciate the reply 👍
I can't wait
Tell I get to go to galaxy's edge
That is awesome jelly, I can't wait either. We hope you have a wonderful time!
It’s obvious that this contest cannot be won by our knowledge of the force, but by our skills with a lightsaber.
I always thought Dooku’s lightsaber was shaped like a banana shaped p’nis 😜😂😜
On an aside I met someone who had one like that when I was in school, I was a year above him... anyway...
I hope you and yours are doing okay and that Landon is still enjoying the clone wars.
You guys take care 🤘
PS there’s a lot of that’s what she said in this video 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😅😅
Hahahaha!!! 😱 EVA!! Not in our comments!! lol
I can't help it!... with the "she said"s... 🤷🏼♂️
@@FindingTheForce What? The double entendres/innuendos were real in this video.
In fact you might say the force was strong with this one. 😜😂🤣😅😜
I thought you’d know by now I have no filter, anyway that story (for me at least) was more like another lifetime.
That said I still found it appropriate to share because me 😜
TIME FOR COMPARISON
Really!?! That's awesome!! Thanks for the alert. I promise we will get it done in Jan!! Happy New Years!! And thanks again for the reminder. 😉
I think he still had a curved one but looked less Sith like and more Jedi like
Thanks Grievous. I would love to see a picture of that.
@@FindingTheForce look it up I’m sure there is a picture of one
Fun fact Originally episode 6 was going to be called Revenge of the Jedi
I love how he does this with his kid 😂
Thanks a lot Michael! Star Wars is totally our thing together. We don't watch movies or lightsaber fight with anyone else! Ha ha thanks so much for watching.
@@FindingTheForce yeah ofc! I think it is awesome you do it with him! It's great bonding and it's so cool when you can share interests and things with your kid and maybe share some information and knowledge with him. Definitely my new favorite Star Wars channel. Just subscribed!
I can’t wait for Disneyland to open back up again so I can go buy myself a lightsaber😭
.... or 6. lol 😕 thank goodness we have this channel to focus on, to take our mind off of the happiest place on earth being closed.
No my friends it didn't get bent because he went to the dark side. Lol. Count Dooku designed it that way to fit his fighting style. I've never really found his lightsaber to be scary, I think its a thing of beauty. It looks like the weapon of a refined man
hahahaha! 😂 You are definitely not wrong. We will try to use our imagination that a light sided Jedi could use this. It's a work of art.
I know what happened to count Dooku‘s light saber he woke up in the middle of the night to go get some water and stepped on it and fell
The hilt looks a lot thicker than in the actual films, it's a shame.
You are right Garrett, that tends to be a serious pattern with all of the Disney parks and Hasbro sabers. Small price to pay for a far less expensive price from the designer sabers.
Early!
Yeeaaahhhh!! 🙌🏻
yay
Or maybe the reason his light saber is bent is because of old age. Kids won’t get it but adults can figure it out.
hahahahaha.... thankfully, I don't know what you mean.... YET! 😂
8
... out of 10? 🙌🏻
@@FindingTheForce no 100 out of 10
its so funny how you sneak in adult jokes lol. when your son is old enough to understand and he watches these he will probably crack up lol.
No count dookus saber was curved i think since he was 15, he became the best duelist in the entire jedi academy and the entire jedi order before he left, however yoda highly disapproved and reprimanded dooku for his saber as it was meant to duel other sabers, dooku was obsessed with finding and destroying the sith so he practiced to beat a sith lord but yoda believing the sith to be long gone was always telling dooku he made a mistake
Wow... thanks LDD for sharing that. 👍🏻
@@FindingTheForce sorry my inner star wars nerd activated when i posted that
Wheres the comparison?
Dooku had 2 sabers as a Jedi one normal then he made another curved one that looks like the his sith one and curved lightsabers are a actual type of lightsaber some of the most powerful jedi and sith used a curved lightsaber hilt.
Whoa... 2 hilts?? That's awesome... I must see his other "normal" Jedi hilt!
Yes it was blue
And crazy scary like this?? 😦 😆
From someone who doesn’t know it seems like you’re being really nit picky, but I know why, it’s because they’re $200+ dollars! That’s quite unfortunate that you had to go through that.
Hey Jonah! Thanks for sharing man. Is it a lightsaber, does it turn on, yes! But what I have learned is that it's a very fine details that make a really big difference when you're spending that much money. Wiggly parts, the sound volume, sensitivity, These are all things that I think a lot of people take in the consideration, especially if they can only afford to purchase one lightsaber. 👍🏻
