I would’ve loved to be taught by him. Fencing is so interesting and I’m glad that I got to see just how amazing swordsmanship is through star wars and his refinement of lightsaber combat in the films.
Dooku was incredibly charismatic, I actually think his plan of being arrested and rejoining the Galactic Republic and blaming Grievous and the Separatist Council for the actions of the Separatists would've worked.
@@ZeldaSam1 there absolutely was. Both Lucas and the Jar Jar actor have confirmed it without confirming. Not to mention the FACT that Lucy's admitted to making a huge re-write after The Phantom Menace
Count Dooku was a great character played by an iconic actor. His refinement and power made him a compelling character. The more we learn about him, the better a character he becomes. The fact that the Clone Wars era is (now) well-developed in SW lore makes Dooku even more interesting. I like that he is a master duelist in a pure lightsaber form, has a saber made specifically for his style, and can use Dark Side powers like Force Lightning. The animated series did well in connecting him to Savage Oppress and Asajj Ventress.
I love Dooku's character. Not because I like him as a person. He is a vile human being. He is a very believable and compelling villain. He is the guy who convinces the common people that he has their back even though he plans to stab them in in it. He just needs to use them before he disposes of them. How many real people in history have done this.
@robertstrong6798 He was always an elitist jerk but he ended up a pro human anti alien Nazi who trusted an even more back stabbing back stabber. All it cost him was two hands and a head though. Lol

Let’s go Stupendous I’ve missed having two videos a day from you and this one is great always love Dooku lore videos because I think he’s such an interesting Sith and an interesting character and always love learning more about him
Kinda wish Dooku didn't join up with sidious, but still fell to the dark side outta his hatred for what the Republic had become. Because at the heart of the matter the separatists were the good guys, who unfortunately became pawns of Sidious
at least the civil council. the trade federation, techno union, war council and banking clan were cutthroat spineless businessman feudalists for the most part.
I do reckon that if the leadership hadn't been corrupt or warmongering that the Separatist movement could have done good for the people of the galaxy. However, I think it is quite realistic for them to become Sidious' pawns; they were a comparatively new movement whose ideology was built around rebellion and shared a common enemy with Sidious.
Some kept fighting alone. Those that did were either exterminated or enslaved. There was a comic where a Jedi actually joined a local separatist force that just a day earlier he had been fighting against (they were a dinosaur like species, basically humanoid with the head of a triceratops). This was in legends though I think.
Stupendous making peak content as always. Dooku is such a fascinating character and I’ll die to see more of the political drama surrounding the Prequel Trilogy and see more of it being used in the 10 year gap between Episode 1 and 2.
Interesting video. Dooku controlled everything basically. He had such charisma,intelligence,he knew how to approach people. They were eating from his palm. Nobody knew what was going on. It was perfect. See you in the next holocron
Usually I don’t like seeing Separates battle droids going to war but after hearing you mention Dooku’s plan for using droids instead of the separatist own people. That was sweet of him, not wonder why they love him.
Palpatine needed chicanery and a never-ending war to stay in power. Dooku would have stayed in power out of sheer popularity and competence. This was not lost on Sidious....
He was right just like many others who followed the force and only the force, he could see the truth. If Qigun was alive many Jedi would have followed his lead instead of the council
As Obi-Wan astutely told Dooku, Qui-Gon would've never joined Dooku. Despite his own reservations about the Republic and his disagreements with the Jedi high council, Qui-Gon had just as much reservations about letting too much of Dooku rub off on him. Qui-Gon being Dooku's former padawan doesn't mean he would've mindlessly followed Dooku. Their philosophical differences about the Jedi way surely guaranteed that much.
It's pretty easy to understand how he could be so loved. The Charisma, the air of competency and command, he's an absolutely perfect mouth piece for propaganda. If you aren't seeing behind the curtain and seeing only the carefully cultivated image he wants you to see railing against the very real problems with the Republic, he's absolutely an impressive figure. I mean he's played by Christopher Lee the perfect choice for such a character. It's why he was an equally perfect choice for Saruman. You can see why people would see him as this wise powerful figure. In the books its stated that the real power of Saurman was in his voice. His ability to manipulate and speak with such authority that everything he says seems like the height of wisdom. What better voice is there to give characters like that then Christopher Lee's?
Ironically, Count Dooku died a hero in the eyes of his constituents. The standard New Republic textbook in the current canon probably still sites him as a misguided jedi and/or controversial visionary.
Yeah this is proof that the light in the dark side can be used in good or bad ways.. this is a good example of somebody using a dark side of the force but doing something very good.
In Legends he was universally respected even as a Jedi and would of been a Jedi Master on par with Yoda in light side force ability had he not left the order his force potential was equal to Yodas with Yoda himself saying a child Dookus strength in the force was enigmatic even for himself no other force sensitive aside from Anakin got a reaction like that due to having a count higher from Yoda not even Mace and not Yaddle or Plo Koon either only issue is that Anakin is brought to the order at a later age had he not Yoda would of trained Anakin mostly himself with greater interest then he did with Dooku yeah.
Dooku was someone who wanted to make a change for the greater good. Christopher Lee portrayed that character very well. It was understandable as to why he turned on the republic and the Jedi Order. If he was on Naboo helping Qui-Gon and Obi-wan, No telling if Qui-Gon would've left the order as well on his own accords like Dooku did. Dooku sadly grew too much of an "attachment" on the republic's political system. That was something that the Jedi for some reason failed to realize that it could have dangerous outcomes in the end and to that end, comes Dooku being seduced to dark side.
I've always liked Dooku & his back story 🔥 If I was in that star wars fictional world I would have definitely joined the separatists during the clone wars for sure.
I think its a shame that Dooku instantly switched to being super evil after taking over the C..I.S. It would've been so much better if he'd started his journey to the dark side out by actually trying to live up to his ideal of doing good for good's sake and early in the war, but as the dark side and Palpatine's manipulations take root in his mind his good deeds could get gradually more twisted until by the end he's a full Sith. A sort of natural progression if you will. Plus it'd be fun seeing how in the early days many on the Republic side see him being this good fair guy and wonder if they're on the right side. But I suppose that Dooku went full evil from the start thinking it would make Sidious trust him and teach him more.
NAH, i'D RATHER HE TRY & REMAiN GOOD THROUGHOUT, JUZT USiNG THE DARK SiDE HERE & THERE TO HELP ACCOMPLiSH HiZ GOALZ ! [NOT YELLiNG, JUZT LiKE TYPiNG iN CAPZ]
Dooku didn't switch to being super evil after taking over the CIS. Tyranus is who Dooku always was, even as a Jedi. Ppl's problem is that they get too caught up in how charismatic he was to see it. Dooku made a concerned effort to hide who he really was from other Jedi during his tenure in the order. It is when he led the CIS that ppl got to see the real Dooku, the Dooku that wanted to enforce his will and xenophobic ideology on the rest of the galaxy.
@@decepticonxhunter4850 So the dark side and Sidious had nothing to do with it, he was just born an evil rotten rich bastard who secretly hated everyone and everything despite being raised in a temple of jedi, many of them non-humans, and all of his dislike for corrupt politicians wasn't morally motivated but just envy that he didn't have the power they did? I certainly hope this isn't what he was meant to be since it'd totally kill my enjoyment of the character. A well meaning if somewhat egotistical person who got manipulated down a bad road by Sidious (Mirroring Anakin somewhat) is more interesting than "He was always an evil piece of crap from the start just like Palpatine was.". Like yeah, I get annoyed at people who think Sith Dooku was a tragic hero, hell no, he was downright vile and in some ways worse than Sidious who he trained under for years before the Clone WArs. But I don't buy him having been secretly evil from the start.
There's this moment, when Yoda shows up to save everyone with the clones, where Dooku leaves the fight......not angrily, not scowling, not cursing or swearing vengeance........ he just _quietly leaves!_ It's because even this, the saving of the remaining Jedi, is all going according to plan, as far as Dooku is concerned. They need those clones, and now they have them; The trap has officially been set!
Unfortunately, we will never see more of Count Dooku (or anything of Lucas Star Wars) due to the corrupt and bias Disney. Disney's refusal to acknowledge the fact that no one wants their agenda FUBAR content only shows their intent to ignore the fans and the lore Lucas started
Ive said this for years... decades now. I would have liked it better if Dooku had been exactly what he claimed to be. Someone trying to lead the disenfranchised in a peaceful exit from a republic that wouldnt let them leave. A former Jedi trying to figure out who the Sith lord was that had infiltrated the Senate and caused the death of his fromer apprentice and friend Qui-Gon. He could still be the anagonist of episode 2 without being the villain if you remember the real villain was leading the good guys. As the cut scene said "have you ever consideres we're on the wrong side?"
Palpatine chose such an old apprentice because he needed somebody to be the public face of the Separatists. Maul was a blunt instrument, and so Palpatine didn't mourn his loss very much because his role was nearly completed anyway. It was time to switch to political and PR warfare. Which is where Count Dooku excelled.
Palpatine's biggest mistake was off'ing Dooku. It's not like Anakin needed _another_ dip into the dark side. The Jedi _won't_ turn Dooku over until _they're_ done with him ("We need him NOW, we can't trust the Jedi to deal with Jedi!") - boom - Order 66 With Dooku and Anakin together, they go to Mustafar, Dooku gets them to dismantle their war machines (with the Republics greatest general as proof of victory), Anakin goes ham on them once it's done (no extra weapons/ships to fall into rebel hands), and both of them take down Obi-Wan together in an epic change of what we're used to (Anakin and Obi-Wan vs Dooku)
It was not a mistake. Palpatine knew that Dooku was planning to betray him sooner rather than later when he kept pushing for them to recruit Obi-Wan instead of Anakin. Mind you, this was moments before Obi-Wan and Anakin arrived to the observation deck. Whether Anakin needed another taste of the Dark Side was never the point. Palpatine used Anakin to get rid of someone who was setting themselves up to be his rival.
It's not justified at all, and such a conclusion could only be reached by someone who looks at the charade Dooku put on as him being authentic. Like Anakin, Dooku became a Jedi for all the wrong reasons. He assumed that the Jedi's role was to be authoritarians who were supposed to enforce his definition of peace and order on the galaxy. And when the reality didn't meet his expectations, he became a Sith to execute that vision.
@decepticonxhunter4850 But then again, you have to fully understand not only his POV but also his side of the story as well. Especially if you're not blind to the Jedi's hypocrisies and lies. No offense to you though.
I really like Dooku but would've preferred a far more contradictory bent to his character. Instead of the proverbial mustache twirling bad guy, a wise yet rogue aristocrat using his position and power to fight corruption. Who, in the aftermath of his former apprentice's death, learned the truth about the Sith and the Republic and set out to destroy evil; only to be rejected by those he called friend. And so, he turns to less reputable means, enlisting the help of lesser evils in order to accomplish a greater good. The good guy driven to do bad things for the right reasons, because others were either too blind or too corrupt to listen. Not Palpatine's pawn, but rather his greatest threat. A character with genuine virtue instead of intrigue, would've added tremendous weight to the issues you discussed, with regards to how respected...and even beloved Dooku was too so many. It would've also made his end that much more tragic. Realizing who and what Palpatine truly was in those final moments, along with the true depths of his failure. Unable to prevent what he undoubtedly knew was about to happen. Okay...fine...I may have given this...a little too much thought over the years and gone a little bit overboard lolol.
The inner core did not have an army to start with so it isn't they're fault and there were bigger threats like sith acolytes and the Hutts territories that surrounded the core world
Most people don't know those because they didn't read the Legends content. Pre-Filoni, Dooku was much more of an anti-Republic figure. Filoni and Lucas wanted him to be more evil in TCW and sort of wasted the character.
They loved him because he gave them the hope of false promises. At this time not only was a good margin of the people were against the Jedi. The people were tired of the same old political system, that really didn’t help you out to much.

Instead of the proverbial mustache twirling bad guy, a wise yet rogue aristocrat using his position and power to fight corruption. Who, in the aftermath of his former apprentice's death, learned the truth about the Sith and the Republic and set out to destroy evil; only to be rejected by those he called friend. And so, he turns to less reputable means, enlisting the help of lesser evils in order to accomplish a greater good. The good guy driven to do bad things for the right reasons, because others were either too blind or too corrupt to listen. Not Palpatine's pawn, but rather his greatest threat. A character with genuine virtue instead of intrigue, would've added tremendous weight to the issues you discussed, with regards to how respected...and even beloved Dooku was too so many. It would've also made his end that much more tragic. Realizing who and what Palpatine truly was in those final moments, along with the true depths of his failure. Unable to prevent what he undoubtedly knew was about to happen. Okay...fine...I may have given this...a little too much thought over the years and gone a little bit overboard lolol.
Because they didn't know what a Sith Lord was
The inner core did not have an army to start with so it isn't they're fault and there were bigger threats like sith acolytes and the Hutts territories that surrounded the core world
Dooku would've made a great Supreme Chancellor if he didn't side with the Sith and Palpatine
I almost wish TCW had softened the CIS at times, or otherwise included some more evil actions on behalf of the Republic.
Most people don't know those because they didn't read the Legends content. Pre-Filoni, Dooku was much more of an anti-Republic figure. Filoni and Lucas wanted him to be more evil in TCW and sort of wasted the character.

Day 720 of asking for a part 3 of what if anakin was trained by qui gon
Why don't you cover new stuff anymore? I like this these videos, but I also like when you cover new lore.
RIP Christopher Lee. 😒
They loved him because he gave them the hope of false promises.
At this time not only was a good margin of the people were against the Jedi.
The people were tired of the same old political system, that really didn’t help you out to much.
It blows my mind how little the movies focus on the really well done politics of star wars. Dooku is barely even a character in the movies...
Sounds like the UN of today's world
because groups of people become less intelligent the larger they are.
