“You serve the senate!” “No. We serve the people of this Republic.” Dooku was one of the few Jedi of his time who understood that there is a significant difference between a government and the people it governs.
Tales of the Jedi has completely changed our perspectives on Dooku forever. I personally will never look at him the same way I saw him in AotC ever again. Turns out, he was very much like Anakin. Both of them really disliked the Jedi Council's involvement into politics, to the point where they've lost faith in the Order and ultimately succumbed to the Dark Side.
Too bad he doesn't get redeemed unlike Anakin, he suffered a quick death with no escape, he was just another pawn to Sidious and shows how "there is no mercy".

Count dooku is such an underrated character. I’m so glad we got to see more of his perspective on what happened to him. His story is so interesting. Great job
Count Dooku is one of the most complex characters in Star Wars. He only wanted to fix the corruption of the Republic and help the citizens but eventually he fell to the dark side, betraying all the values he once held. Someday we should really get a Star Wars TV show or something depicting the point of view from the true believers of the separatists cause. Great Edit!
@@Wildboyz6913 Dooku and Padme would have made great allies in their idealism. Dooku was just more radical in his methods and thought that Padme was too naive to see that the Republic wasn't worth defending and that it couldn't be fixed.
@@Wildboyz6913 He wasn't sympathetic to any of them. They Nemoidians, Zyggerians and others alike were prime examples of those exploiting the galaxy through the Senate's corruption. He was willing to play charade and enable them with their own corporate fiefdoms and armies so that the Republic would see them as a threat - and as a consequence arm and centralize with a strong leader capable of curbing the Senate's corruption with one's authrotity and destroying these corporates. He thought that he would be the one to slaughter the Separatist Council at the end of the war instead of Anakin - and blame the Separatist war crimes on Grievous. He was essentially a massive idealist willing to play the bad guy for the ultimate Sith plan. He saw Palpatine as an ultimate evil, but thought the faustian bargain was worth it to try and gain power to him and his ally and try change things compared to the laxity of the Jedi in the midst of corruption. The dogma of the Jedi made them blind and ignorant. But he too got corrupted and would have most likely not been helpful to planets like Desix or Ferrix - the main perpetrators of something like the Separatist movement - after the revolution if he happened to survive.
Once Dooku said: "I used to bring Qui-Gon here, as a boy." & "Qui-Gon Jinn is one with the Force." My heart sank! He truly loved and cared about his Padawan so much. And it was the final nail in the coffin for him to fully join the Dark Side. Kudos to Corey Burton!👏🏻
Honestly motivation wise he reminds me of revan at least when Dooku started anyway. Revan saw the Darkseid as a tool to prepare the republic for an oncoming threat and doors saw it as a path to fix the very corrupt senate. Geetsly talks about the history of star wars and there is such a history of corruption exploitation and racism the movies couldn't get into. But like Vader he fell into the trap of the sith, once you have power you've lost what you sought it for
@@Furonanator139t’s like something else I read the light side is giving up your identity in service to others while the dark side slowly corrupts your identity until you are a shadow of your former self both takes your identity away but one’s more destructive
The part I felt the most was when Dooku said "it is time to let go, what choice have I?" Showing Yaddle that he couldn't hold on to Qui-Gon because it is an attachment
It's actually heartbreaking watching Dooku die now. He was a good man, a good Jedi, and was shaped by the faults of the Republic he fought for. And then after all he went thru and all sacrificed for Palpatine, he was discarded.
What the heck... He was a man that had everything in life and yet he decided to murder and enslave half the galaxy during the clone wars. Killing multiple species and commiting genocide to a level that only palpatine himself has overcome. That's like saying you feel bad that Hitler died like idk
@@h.h.h.9307 the thing is he did it all in the name of the greater good. They were necessary sacrifices in order to bring peace to a galaxy strifed with war, corruption and chaos.
Dooku should really meet Thrawn. The Chiss would very politely explain that no government escapes that plague which is a corruption. Dooku: "Liar! I do not believe you!" And then Dooku uses a Force Lightning on Thrawn.
One thing I noticed, and loved, about the Tales of the Jedi Dooku is that when he calls palpatine "master" for the first time it's such a mix of regret, disgust, and self-loathing but also an acknowledgement that this was his choice and he had to see it to the end.
Such a good sad tribute to the character. How good he was and how much he lost himself to the point of becoming exactly like those corrupted senators he hated so much. Also, to everyone who was fascinated by this more in depth look at Dooku in Tales Of The Jedi please consider listening to the Dooku: Jedi Lost audiodrama and read the Yoda: Dark Rendezvous novel. You'll like him even more. Now, I'd like to add Dooku's death as it was narrated by Matthew Stover in the Revenge Of The Sith novel to perhaps add more gravitas to what's already a good tribute to the character: "As he looks up into the eyes of Anakin Skywalker for the final time, Count Dooku knows that he has been deceived not just today, but for many, many years. That he has never been the true apprentice. That he has never been the heir to the power of the Sith. He has been only a tool. His whole life-all his victories, all his struggles, all his heritage, all his principles and his sacrifices, everything he’s done, everything he owns, everything he’s been, all his dreams and grand vision for the future Empire and the Army of Sith-have been only a pathetic sham, because all of them, all of him, add up only to this. He has existed only for this. This. To be the victim of Anakin Skywalker’s first cold-blooded murder. First but not, he knows, the last. Then the blades crossed at his throat uncross like scissors. Snip. And all of him becomes nothing at all"
Supp, i have never readed a comic of star wars, i just liked the prequels, original and a handful of the more recent series, as well as some old ones, but this small extract you put has crippled me, gonna give give it a chance to the works you suggest.
Matthew Stover's Revenge of the Sith novel is brilliant. Almost as good as the movie itself although I'm glad Christopher Lee insisted on staying silent instead of going along with Dooku begging for his life. He still conveyed that Dooku was shocked and scared but gave his death far more dignity than the novel did.
Damn, this nearly brought me to tears. I've never really cared much for Dooku's character. To me he always just seemed like the cunning villain of the clone wars. But seeing his story told from Tales of the Jedi, through Attack of the Clones and The Clone Wars, into Revenge of the Sith and how he is just cast aside by Sidious after everything he sacrificed for him, now I can see that his story is just as tragic as any other character's.
I truly believe that Jocasta Nu was right about Dooku. Dooku never became a Sith at heart. He lost faith in the Jedi and tried to pursue an actual political career while still doing the bidding of his Master Darth Sidious, who he hated and wanted to actually kill. Dooku never was an actual villain. He just had a different POV.
After what happened to Qui Gon and his decision to leave and stand up to his former friends, Dooku might be one of the most interesting characters in the entire series.
It's sad how Yoda was so blinded he saw Dooku as completely fallen to the dark side in his visions... Dooku never fell and never gave in fully to the dark side.. he always kept his Jedi eyes... he could always be redeemed.
Not true, dooku fully was a sith by 13-12 BBY, he wouldve been an even more cruel emporer than palpatine if you read his plans for the empire. The darkside had consumed him, but he still kept his elegance and didnt like to show his sith eyes very often bc he didnt have a lot of rage and was a more focused sith. He does show his sith eyes a few times tho i think when electrocuting savage oppress and ventress
Holy Growing up really mean to understand the villain of a series….. At first i love yoda and windu and was sad to see them die Now That im old enough to understand dooku He may use the dark side of the force and become a sith lord He never truly lost his cause to fight From what i seen dooku never wished for the fall of the jedi and more wished for the order to reform and not become a political pawn of the republic The republic that the jedi serve is the true evil of the show He may be twisted but he has a cause he wanted to reach
Dooku is what happens when a profound philosopher is also a nearly unrivalled warrior and politician with his own ideals and morals. He becomes a conflicted, introspective force for change, who never stops wondering himself if the change he's bringing is change for the better, or for the worse.
All these years later, Dooku’s character is masterfully completed. From a throwaway antagonist, to one of the most understandable and human characters in Star Wars.
Interesting how he and Anakin fell in a similar manner. Both were clever, powerful, and never taken for their word. Lost faith pushed them away from the Jedi order. Dooku is one of my favourite Star Wars characters. He is a realist, sees events for what they truly are, powerful, and above all; clever.
Dooku is such a complicated character. All of this background that he’s been given has turned him from a character I respect, into one of my favorites. I really hope we get more with him in it.
Tales of the Jedi have made so many people find a new found love that I have always have for Dooku, and I can not be happier! So happy more and more people are finding Dooku to be the best :)
Dooku is the best character introduced in the Prequels. Such a nuanced, fascinating character. His philospies are so *fascinating* and arguably 100% true. The only issue was his methods. Think about it - the concept of a divinely reigning monarch is based off of the principle that some people are blessed to have more authority and weight in the world. This is the basis that the Jedi built their philosophies from - and it is the exact same mentality that Qui-Gon Jinn has. Dooku's biggest issue is the fact that he was far too obedient to Sidious. Even compared to other Sith apprentices, he was more controlled and demure.
3:38 - 4:04 Those scenes of the past and then the quick flashes between Qui-Gon & the clone inhibitor chips was so beautiful with the music. Brilliant edit man
The last few seconds of this video truly hits home for me. Once Dooku killed Yaddle his journey to the dark side was complete and there was no turning back. The moment Palpatine ordered Anakin to kill him his mind must have been racing, and I bet he was thinking about that mistake he made all those years ago.
Dooku: "I declined to be a member of the Council in order to devote myself to diplomacy, and look how that has turned out. The Republic is sliding deeper into chaos." Palpatine: "You're one man against a galaxy full of scoundrels." Dooku: "One man should be able to make a difference if he is powerful enough." - Dooku and Palpatine conversation (Darth Plagueis novel)
I feel like with tales of the Jedi, we can now read so much more in the face of Dooku before his death. It is not only betrayal by his master, but betrayal on a very deep level. He sacrificed everything for this cause, his friends, his allies, his order and then his values, ideals, his own people. He always justified it with it being worth in the end and now he is the one being sacrificed, but not for his own goals, but for Palpatines. He lost everything. His friends, his humanity and in the end his life, only for him to see that it was for nothing. Actually worse that, a total perversion of his original ideas. He became the instrument in his own dreams destruction, because of the betrayal of Palpatine which didn't happen when Dooku was killed, but when they first met. All crumbles around him and he remains as nothing.
It’s interesting and simultaneously heartbreaking seeing the parallels between Dooku and Anakin. They were both good people with strong values who deeply cared about the ones around them in the beginning. But their disillusion with the status quo (the Senate and Republic, the Jedi Order) drove them to the darkness and Palpatine was able to manipulate them into becoming his weapons. In the end, that goodness and their beliefs were perverted into evil by the Sith. It’s so tragic thinking about what could’ve been if both Dooku and Anakin’s fates had turned out differently.
If I ever need to explain to someone why Dooku is my favorite Star Wars character, I can simply show them this video. It shows everything! This is an awesome tribute, well done.
I love everything about dooku from his actors to his portrayal as a wealthy yet caring person who solely focuses on doing the right thing even if he goes about it arguably the wrong way, plus his lightsaber and fencing style form is sick, just like this edit❤
This show changed everyone’s perspective of Count, it certainly changed mine. It makes you feel very bad for his demise to a Person who questioned the council and became a sith just like himself.
We need more Dooku episodes. Unfortunately they can’t go chronologically because they already filmed his fall, but we can still have more of his life, like when he used force lightning for the first time.
Beautiful tribute. I always thought Dooku was such a confused character, I really enjoyed the Tales of the Jedi as it gave him some more screen time. Keep up the amazing work 👏
Excellent tribute. Your editing is superb! You covered Dooku's entire life, and highlighted how he was manipulated and used by Palpatine- then unceremoniously tossed aside like garbage. You also captured his fall to the Dark Side and that Dooku started with good intentions but then became corrupted. Great job!
if anyone else loves lotr/hobbit as well like me, i got CHILLS😍 at 2:22 when he said “we shall rule the galaxy together, i will be even more powerful… than lord sidious.” OMG, it vividly reminded me of his character saruman in lotr/hobbit (this i already thought) but wow just hearing words like that makes me know i’m right on point. both his characters were already extremely powerful. both were blinded by their new masters. but still in some way needing more power and control to fulfill themselves, turned to some sort of dark side to make it happen, and it eventually both led to their downfalls. CHILLS and i love them both 😍
When Master Yoda met Anakin Skywalker he sensed the same thing in him as he did in count Dooku. He knew that he had lost Dooku to the Dark side and knew that it could happen again if not careful. Count Dooku thought that just learning the force one side he would never have true balance. Dooku's mistake was to trust in Palestine, who was just using him to groom and prepare Anakin through a series of plots and battles. I personally would have liked it if Dooku would have had a love in his life where he would have had a child. Maybe even could have been Anakin's father. Oh well no one will never know.
I love the Force-Choke ability and that it is a dark side power.. it's such a great narrative tool to indicate someone is having a dark side to themselves.. like Grogu when he force chokes Cara Dune.
Finally got a chance to watch one of your stars wars video and my god what a treat it was to witness first off I love how you mix live action and animation so seamlessly and with the way you edited his character it was perfect I absolutely loved your choice of music suits him brilliantly and gives you such an intense atmosphere which I thought helped add more depth his character and how you ended the first part with his dream of overthrowing Palpatine was genius. And then you hit us with emotional part about his betrayal order 66 and his loss of his apprentice I really loved how you ended it that was masterful especially the flashbacks you have truly created a fantastic masterpiece worthy of the star wars universe and I always felt Dooku was an unrated character I'm glad they added more to him 💙
It is both incredible and so very sad to think just how tragic each of Sidious' apprentices were. Each could have been so much more if it had not been for the machinations of the Sith Lord and their own failures to seek out the answers they needed in far more productive, healthy ways.
Incredible edit. Well done. Well done indeed. Showing this to someone who only somewhat understands character personality really helps them understand these people.
I feel sorry for Dooku. He only wanted peace and for the Jedi to open their blind eyes. He’s literally what Anakin would have become if he didn’t lose to ObiWan. After losing QuiGon, Dooku gave up on the Order.
Anakin and Dooku are more alike than I realized, they both were willing to go against the council or senate if it meant saving the people they are suppose to serve, cared for their apprentices like family and were tempted by Palpatine after seeing the hypocrisy of the Jedi/corruption of the senate. They are both among the most tragic villains ever :(
This is the best Dooku edit I've ever seen. I'll sub to this channel only because this edit was so damn beautiful and perfect. It is really shame that we didn't get a proper long story of Dooku.
Dooku is one of the most complex background villains, ever. He’s also one of the few Star Wars characters to truly be on the side of the people, not light or dark, but the people.
No he wasn't. The dark side corrupted him completely and in the Clone Wars he was ordering planets carpet-bombed to spite Republic forces and enabling a race of slavers because Sith empires were traditionally built on the back of slaves on top of stealing from his own people to fund his war chest. Saying he was on the side of the people betrays a critical lack of understanding of his character. There was nothing altruistic about Darth Tyranus, he was by far the most evil of Sidious' three apprentices.
@@Hunghoveri agree with this completely but i would still say Vader was much more evil after he turned. Bro slaughtered possibly hundreds of children when he went to the jedi temple along with THOUSANDS of his closest friends and allies
@@ethangilbert4896 What made Dooku the most evil was that Vader's main reason for sticking by Sidious after his transformation was that he thought he had lost everything. As far as he knew, Sidious (especially in the new Disney canon where he was less abusive towards him post-RoS than in Legends where he was routinely trying to kill him) was all he had left. Maul similarly was driven solely by his hatred for Obi-Wan after his return. Dooku meanwhile was happily serving Sidious, fully aware of what Sidious' Empire was going to be like and had every intention to be part of it, if not straight-up kill Sidious and rule it in his stead. At the end of the day Vader was motivated mostly by despair and self-loathing and Maul by hatred, but Tyranus unlike the other two was often shown to revel in his evil acts, and was clearly motivated more by pride and greed than anything else
One of the best edits out there on anything. Dooku saw beyond the dogmatic ways of the Jedi, but he fell for the lies of a much greater evil. What a sad story.
Why are people treating the guy like he was a well-intentioned extremist, he may have started out as one but when he became Darth Tyranus he became the most evil of Sidious' three apprentices by far. Maul was mired in hatred, Vader was ironically the noblest of the three, Tyranus was scum. Clone Wars showed him as a sadistic despot and there wasn't a single moment in the entire show that so much as implied he had some sort of evil honor the way Maul did or that some shreds of his former self were still there like for Vader in Rebels. In fact Tyranus was times and again shown to revel in his acts of evil. He knew what the Galactic Empire was really going to be like and was 100% on board with it. He was pissed when Sidious ordered Ventress to be executed but that was solely because she was his most powerful servant and Sidious knew it. The Dooku that claimed to be on the side of the people was devoured by Sidious, the Sith Lord that appeared in Clone Wars might as well have been a different character. Maul eventually escaped being Sidious' pawn and Anakin was never fully extinguished, but Dooku was completely gone.
3:27 for me, Count Dooku always embodied a tragic character. Not a hero, but also not a cut and dry villain either. He allowed his admirable intentions and idealism toward improving the representation of the average citizen and their quality of life to be manipulated by the Sith and further their own ends. Eventually becoming the very evil he swore to destroy, in similar fashion to how Anakin fell. By the time Dooku realized his usefulness to the Sith had expired during the duel over Coruscant it was too late. Sidious’ plan required Dooku remain alive only until the exact moment when Anakin’s faith in the Jedi was ready to be pushed to its limit and then the liability Dooku was had to be eliminated if the Grand Plan was to succeed. He knew the Jedi were incapable of fixing the problems within the Republic due to their blind faith in it, their reliance on it for their privileged positions in the galaxy, and their complacency with the corruption and decadence which had ensnared the Senate while the citizens of the galaxy struggled. Sidious saw the opening and jumped at it. Even if Dooku wasn’t predisposed to being evil, once you start down the dark path forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Yoda’s apprentice.

Revan saw the Darkseid as a tool to prepare the republic for an oncoming threat and doors saw it as a path to fix the very corrupt senate. Geetsly talks about the history of star wars and there is such a history of corruption exploitation and racism the movies couldn't get into.
But like Vader he fell into the trap of the sith, once you have power you've lost what you sought it for
and to sir christopher lee for being the real tyranus
well Jedi code said sth like that leads 2 dark side and like the Jedi said it was his Downfall
@@Furonanator139t’s like something else I read the light side is giving up your identity in service to others while the dark side slowly corrupts your identity until you are a shadow of your former self both takes your identity away but one’s more destructive
The part I felt the most was when Dooku said "it is time to let go, what choice have I?" Showing Yaddle that he couldn't hold on to Qui-Gon because it is an attachment
It's actually heartbreaking watching Dooku die now. He was a good man, a good Jedi, and was shaped by the faults of the Republic he fought for. And then after all he went thru and all sacrificed for Palpatine, he was discarded.
Discarded and reviled by everyone, including his own people from Serenno, whom he had sworn to protect before his fall.
@@maksymilianziele28 dooku was too corrupted. He lost sight of his goals
What the heck...
He was a man that had everything in life and yet he decided to murder and enslave half the galaxy during the clone wars. Killing multiple species and commiting genocide to a level that only palpatine himself has overcome.
That's like saying you feel bad that Hitler died like idk
@@h.h.h.9307 the thing is he did it all in the name of the greater good. They were necessary sacrifices in order to bring peace to a galaxy strifed with war, corruption and chaos.
Dooku should really meet Thrawn. The Chiss would very politely explain that no government escapes that plague which is a corruption.
Dooku: "Liar! I do not believe you!"
And then Dooku uses a Force Lightning on Thrawn.
I like how we learn about Dooku and then in the Bad Batch we see how far he truly fell. His war chest and all.
Yup! He let Darth Sidious twist his mind until he became the thing he despised.
Sounds familiar, I know...
wait in which episode?
@@marvin2678 early s2 its like s2 episode 2 or sm
One thing I noticed, and loved, about the Tales of the Jedi Dooku is that when he calls palpatine "master" for the first time it's such a mix of regret, disgust, and self-loathing but also an acknowledgement that this was his choice and he had to see it to the end.
You did justice to an underrated character, well done!
not underrated lol
@@lordcerrousVunderrated as a character
Such a good sad tribute to the character. How good he was and how much he lost himself to the point of becoming exactly like those corrupted senators he hated so much.
Also, to everyone who was fascinated by this more in depth look at Dooku in Tales Of The Jedi please consider listening to the Dooku: Jedi Lost audiodrama and read the Yoda: Dark Rendezvous novel. You'll like him even more. Now, I'd like to add Dooku's death as it was narrated by Matthew Stover in the Revenge Of The Sith novel to perhaps add more gravitas to what's already a good tribute to the character:
"As he looks up into the eyes of Anakin Skywalker for the final time, Count Dooku knows that he has been deceived not just today, but for many, many years. That he has never been the true apprentice. That he has never been the heir to the power of the Sith. He has been only a tool.
His whole life-all his victories, all his struggles, all his heritage, all his principles and his sacrifices, everything he’s done, everything he owns, everything he’s been, all his dreams and grand vision for the future Empire and the Army of Sith-have been only a pathetic sham, because all of them, all of him, add up only to this.
He has existed only for this. This.
To be the victim of Anakin Skywalker’s first cold-blooded murder.
First but not, he knows, the last.
Then the blades crossed at his throat uncross like scissors.
Snip.
And all of him becomes nothing at all"
That is one well put last paragraph, he truly was a good guy
Supp, i have never readed a comic of star wars, i just liked the prequels, original and a handful of the more recent series, as well as some old ones, but this small extract you put has crippled me, gonna give give it a chance to the works you suggest.
Matthew Stover's Revenge of the Sith novel is brilliant. Almost as good as the movie itself although I'm glad Christopher Lee insisted on staying silent instead of going along with Dooku begging for his life. He still conveyed that Dooku was shocked and scared but gave his death far more dignity than the novel did.
Damn, this nearly brought me to tears. I've never really cared much for Dooku's character. To me he always just seemed like the cunning villain of the clone wars. But seeing his story told from Tales of the Jedi, through Attack of the Clones and The Clone Wars, into Revenge of the Sith and how he is just cast aside by Sidious after everything he sacrificed for him, now I can see that his story is just as tragic as any other character's.
Evil always turns on itself
I truly believe that Jocasta Nu was right about Dooku.
Dooku never became a Sith at heart. He lost faith in the Jedi and tried to pursue an actual political career while still doing the bidding of his Master Darth Sidious, who he hated and wanted to actually kill.
Dooku never was an actual villain. He just had a different POV.
After what happened to Qui Gon and his decision to leave and stand up to his former friends, Dooku might be one of the most interesting characters in the entire series.
He is a character indeed
@@generalkenobi1972 haha meant to say "one of the most interesting characters" haha
been saying this
The part where hologram palpatine says "It was a necessary loss" send chills down my spine
“The smallest doubt can shake the greatest belief.”
It's sad how Yoda was so blinded he saw Dooku as completely fallen to the dark side in his visions... Dooku never fell and never gave in fully to the dark side.. he always kept his Jedi eyes... he could always be redeemed.
Holy shit… I’ve never thought of that before
Not true, dooku fully was a sith by 13-12 BBY, he wouldve been an even more cruel emporer than palpatine if you read his plans for the empire. The darkside had consumed him, but he still kept his elegance and didnt like to show his sith eyes very often bc he didnt have a lot of rage and was a more focused sith. He does show his sith eyes a few times tho i think when electrocuting savage oppress and ventress
Dooku became evil. He wasn't a jedi after his turn.
Not completely true, his eyes only become yellow when he seriously taps into the dark side, but most of the time yes, he does have normal eyes.
Holy
Growing up really mean to understand the villain of a series…..
At first i love yoda and windu and was sad to see them die
Now
That im old enough to understand dooku
He may use the dark side of the force and become a sith lord
He never truly lost his cause to fight
From what i seen dooku never wished for the fall of the jedi and more wished for the order to reform and not become a political pawn of the republic
The republic that the jedi serve is the true evil of the show
He may be twisted but he has a cause he wanted to reach
Count Dooku is a HIGHLIGHT of a character from the prequel era. Such a tragic character, yet so tangible and real. Thank you for this edit.
3:59 the delivery of this line was so heart-breaking. Amazing voice acting.
Dooku is what happens when a profound philosopher is also a nearly unrivalled warrior and politician with his own ideals and morals. He becomes a conflicted, introspective force for change, who never stops wondering himself if the change he's bringing is change for the better, or for the worse.
Beautifully said
All these years later, Dooku’s character is masterfully completed. From a throwaway antagonist, to one of the most understandable and human characters in Star Wars.
When he said “sith rule everything.. you just don’t know it!” He literally meant that
Interesting how he and Anakin fell in a similar manner. Both were clever, powerful, and never taken for their word. Lost faith pushed them away from the Jedi order. Dooku is one of my favourite Star Wars characters. He is a realist, sees events for what they truly are, powerful, and above all; clever.
Dooku is such a complicated character. All of this background that he’s been given has turned him from a character I respect, into one of my favorites. I really hope we get more with him in it.
Was dooku behind the clones and order 66 since he deleted kamino
Tales of the Jedi have made so many people find a new found love that I have always have for Dooku, and I can not be happier! So happy more and more people are finding Dooku to be the best :)
Dooku is the best character introduced in the Prequels. Such a nuanced, fascinating character. His philospies are so *fascinating* and arguably 100% true. The only issue was his methods. Think about it - the concept of a divinely reigning monarch is based off of the principle that some people are blessed to have more authority and weight in the world. This is the basis that the Jedi built their philosophies from - and it is the exact same mentality that Qui-Gon Jinn has.
Dooku's biggest issue is the fact that he was far too obedient to Sidious. Even compared to other Sith apprentices, he was more controlled and demure.
3:38 - 4:04 Those scenes of the past and then the quick flashes between Qui-Gon & the clone inhibitor chips was so beautiful with the music. Brilliant edit man
thank you man! :)
ew
So dooku was behind order 66 and clones
The last few seconds of this video truly hits home for me.
Once Dooku killed Yaddle his journey to the dark side was complete and there was no turning back. The moment Palpatine ordered Anakin to kill him his mind must have been racing, and I bet he was thinking about that mistake he made all those years ago.
Again man, perfection. Dooku truly is one of the greatest and more complex characters of all star wars.
thank you
He was behind the clones and order 66 rip dooku
Dooku: "I declined to be a member of the Council in order to devote myself to diplomacy, and look how that has turned out. The Republic is sliding deeper into chaos."
Palpatine: "You're one man against a galaxy full of scoundrels."
Dooku: "One man should be able to make a difference if he is powerful enough." - Dooku and Palpatine conversation (Darth Plagueis novel)
Probably when Palpatine figured out Dooku's plan and betrayed him.
I don't know if the Disney version has a new voice actor but he is so damn good. Really perfectly sounding like a young Christopher Lee.
Iirc all dooku in tcw media is voiced by Corey Burton
I feel like with tales of the Jedi, we can now read so much more in the face of Dooku before his death. It is not only betrayal by his master, but betrayal on a very deep level. He sacrificed everything for this cause, his friends, his allies, his order and then his values, ideals, his own people. He always justified it with it being worth in the end and now he is the one being sacrificed, but not for his own goals, but for Palpatines. He lost everything. His friends, his humanity and in the end his life, only for him to see that it was for nothing. Actually worse that, a total perversion of his original ideas. He became the instrument in his own dreams destruction, because of the betrayal of Palpatine which didn't happen when Dooku was killed, but when they first met. All crumbles around him and he remains as nothing.
Dooku had a fall nearly or even as tragic as anakins. Tales of the Jedi really made me like dooku even more than I already did.
Very well executed my friend. Your edits never disappoint. You really captured Dooku's motives really well. Very nice tribute 👍🏼
It’s interesting and simultaneously heartbreaking seeing the parallels between Dooku and Anakin. They were both good people with strong values who deeply cared about the ones around them in the beginning. But their disillusion with the status quo (the Senate and Republic, the Jedi Order) drove them to the darkness and Palpatine was able to manipulate them into becoming his weapons. In the end, that goodness and their beliefs were perverted into evil by the Sith. It’s so tragic thinking about what could’ve been if both Dooku and Anakin’s fates had turned out differently.
Beautiful, a truly wonderful compilation, especially that part at 3:27 with the music at the Jedi funeral always gives me chills
If I ever need to explain to someone why Dooku is my favorite Star Wars character, I can simply show them this video. It shows everything! This is an awesome tribute, well done.
As always excellent tribute man! Dooku has such a powerful and deep story - sometimes even the good intentions leads to the evil...
it has been a long while since i cried last, but this edit made me cry. thanks for your work you put into this.
I love everything about dooku from his actors to his portrayal as a wealthy yet caring person who solely focuses on doing the right thing even if he goes about it arguably the wrong way, plus his lightsaber and fencing style form is sick, just like this edit❤
The expansion of every character arc in the star wars has become incredible. Count Dooku has got a newfound respect
This show changed everyone’s perspective of Count, it certainly changed mine. It makes you feel very bad for his demise to a Person who questioned the council and became a sith just like himself.
We need more Dooku episodes. Unfortunately they can’t go chronologically because they already filmed his fall, but we can still have more of his life, like when he used force lightning for the first time.
So perfect. This is incredible.
Dooku has always been my all time favorite and tales of the Jedi was such a blessing for the character. Great edit thank you for the goosebumps!!!
Beautiful tribute. I always thought Dooku was such a confused character, I really enjoyed the Tales of the Jedi as it gave him some more screen time. Keep up the amazing work 👏
Ole Palps wasn't lying when he said " and I'll ask more of you" He asked for the counts life and dooku gave it to him. Kneeled in silence.
Dooku has been my #1 since 2002.. 😢 this hits home!!!
2:03 I love that line so much. Best voice acting in the whole new series.
Excellent tribute. Your editing is superb! You covered Dooku's entire life, and highlighted how he was manipulated and used by Palpatine- then unceremoniously tossed aside like garbage. You also captured his fall to the Dark Side and that Dooku started with good intentions but then became corrupted. Great job!
You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
Really great video! I love how it humanizes Dooku. It shows his genuine and misguided intentions for good.
Easily my favorite character in Star Wars. Brilliant edit.
if anyone else loves lotr/hobbit as well like me, i got CHILLS😍 at 2:22 when he said “we shall rule the galaxy together, i will be even more powerful… than lord sidious.” OMG, it vividly reminded me of his character saruman in lotr/hobbit (this i already thought) but wow just hearing words like that makes me know i’m right on point. both his characters were already extremely powerful. both were blinded by their new masters. but still in some way needing more power and control to fulfill themselves, turned to some sort of dark side to make it happen, and it eventually both led to their downfalls. CHILLS and i love them both 😍
Love how fleshed out both maul and dooku are now, both broken characters, failed by palpatine.
2:47 hits so much different. He never wanted Qui Gon on the dark side. He truly just needed his help.
It's impressive brother, I'm glad you finally decide to make a video for Dooku, insane job here !
You should’ve added the quote from Christopher Loyd’s character from Mandalorian season 3. “Count Dooku was a visionary. Cut down by the Jedi.”
This came out before S3
Probably one of the best made ones I've seen
When Master Yoda met Anakin Skywalker he sensed the same thing in him as he did in count Dooku. He knew that he had lost Dooku to the Dark side and knew that it could happen again if not careful. Count Dooku thought that just learning the force one side he would never have true balance. Dooku's mistake was to trust in Palestine, who was just using him to groom and prepare Anakin through a series of plots and battles. I personally would have liked it if Dooku would have had a love in his life where he would have had a child. Maybe even could have been Anakin's father. Oh well no one will never know.
Dooku's mistake was to trust in Palestine ☠️☠️☠️
CHILLS LITTERALLY CHILLS
I love the Force-Choke ability and that it is a dark side power.. it's such a great narrative tool to indicate someone is having a dark side to themselves.. like Grogu when he force chokes Cara Dune.
This is brilliant. On a ridiculous level. Well done and thank you!
Finally got a chance to watch one of your stars wars video and my god what a treat it was to witness first off I love how you mix live action and animation so seamlessly and with the way you edited his character it was perfect I absolutely loved your choice of music suits him brilliantly and gives you such an intense atmosphere which I thought helped add more depth his character and how you ended the first part with his dream of overthrowing Palpatine was genius. And then you hit us with emotional part about his betrayal order 66 and his loss of his apprentice I really loved how you ended it that was masterful especially the flashbacks you have truly created a fantastic masterpiece worthy of the star wars universe and I always felt Dooku was an unrated character I'm glad they added more to him 💙
It is both incredible and so very sad to think just how tragic each of Sidious' apprentices were. Each could have been so much more if it had not been for the machinations of the Sith Lord and their own failures to seek out the answers they needed in far more productive, healthy ways.
Insanely well edited. great job!
A good man twisted by his view of greater good.
Not usually one for these clip vids but this guy is nailing the art. Impressive. Most impressive. Subscribed.
Ironically Dooku saw the state of the galaxy as it was.. he just chose the wrong solution to its problems. Great character!
You and HFP are undoubtedly my favourite tribute creators. You deserve more recognition than you get!
Great work fam
Incredible edit. Well done. Well done indeed. Showing this to someone who only somewhat understands character personality really helps them understand these people.
I feel sorry for Dooku. He only wanted peace and for the Jedi to open their blind eyes. He’s literally what Anakin would have become if he didn’t lose to ObiWan. After losing QuiGon, Dooku gave up on the Order.
Your RUclips channel is so underrated.... i wish there were more like yours
You are a master of your craft, you must be very proud
This was very well crafted and executed! Well done!
thanks man! :)
"You serve the senate"
"No. We serve the people of this Republic"
This line made me realize why alot of Jedi leave the order after some time
Anakin and Dooku are more alike than I realized, they both were willing to go against the council or senate if it meant saving the people they are suppose to serve, cared for their apprentices like family and were tempted by Palpatine after seeing the hypocrisy of the Jedi/corruption of the senate. They are both among the most tragic villains ever :(
This is the best Dooku edit I've ever seen. I'll sub to this channel only because this edit was so damn beautiful and perfect. It is really shame that we didn't get a proper long story of Dooku.
Oh my goodness what a great edit!
Dooku has become one of my favorite characters now in all of Star Wars. His death now feels more painfull now after diving into his character
“His death was a necessary loss”
Killing Yaddle adds so much weight to his death in ep 3, god I love it when they write Star Wars well
Dooku is one of the most complex background villains, ever. He’s also one of the few Star Wars characters to truly be on the side of the people, not light or dark, but the people.
No he wasn't. The dark side corrupted him completely and in the Clone Wars he was ordering planets carpet-bombed to spite Republic forces and enabling a race of slavers because Sith empires were traditionally built on the back of slaves on top of stealing from his own people to fund his war chest. Saying he was on the side of the people betrays a critical lack of understanding of his character. There was nothing altruistic about Darth Tyranus, he was by far the most evil of Sidious' three apprentices.
@@Hunghoveri agree with this completely but i would still say Vader was much more evil after he turned. Bro slaughtered possibly hundreds of children when he went to the jedi temple along with THOUSANDS of his closest friends and allies
Idk about most evil but he was definitely sinister, Maul slaughtered many innocent villagers without warrant @@Hunghover
@@ethangilbert4896 What made Dooku the most evil was that Vader's main reason for sticking by Sidious after his transformation was that he thought he had lost everything. As far as he knew, Sidious (especially in the new Disney canon where he was less abusive towards him post-RoS than in Legends where he was routinely trying to kill him) was all he had left. Maul similarly was driven solely by his hatred for Obi-Wan after his return. Dooku meanwhile was happily serving Sidious, fully aware of what Sidious' Empire was going to be like and had every intention to be part of it, if not straight-up kill Sidious and rule it in his stead. At the end of the day Vader was motivated mostly by despair and self-loathing and Maul by hatred, but Tyranus unlike the other two was often shown to revel in his evil acts, and was clearly motivated more by pride and greed than anything else
One of the best edits out there on anything. Dooku saw beyond the dogmatic ways of the Jedi, but he fell for the lies of a much greater evil. What a sad story.
that was AMAZING! the yaddle/anakin mirroring brought a tear to my eye. bravo.
Love these character cuts
MASTERPIECE!
very powerful edit! thank you!
Why are people treating the guy like he was a well-intentioned extremist, he may have started out as one but when he became Darth Tyranus he became the most evil of Sidious' three apprentices by far. Maul was mired in hatred, Vader was ironically the noblest of the three, Tyranus was scum.
Clone Wars showed him as a sadistic despot and there wasn't a single moment in the entire show that so much as implied he had some sort of evil honor the way Maul did or that some shreds of his former self were still there like for Vader in Rebels. In fact Tyranus was times and again shown to revel in his acts of evil. He knew what the Galactic Empire was really going to be like and was 100% on board with it. He was pissed when Sidious ordered Ventress to be executed but that was solely because she was his most powerful servant and Sidious knew it.
The Dooku that claimed to be on the side of the people was devoured by Sidious, the Sith Lord that appeared in Clone Wars might as well have been a different character. Maul eventually escaped being Sidious' pawn and Anakin was never fully extinguished, but Dooku was completely gone.
The editing is so beautiful to such a tragic figure.
Caught all the essence! Great editing, friend!
Good work, Dooku is my favourite character from Star Wars
Dooku always had more layers than people realized.
wow great edit
Amazing
Amazing work, one of the best cuts ever.
3:27 for me, Count Dooku always embodied a tragic character. Not a hero, but also not a cut and dry villain either. He allowed his admirable intentions and idealism toward improving the representation of the average citizen and their quality of life to be manipulated by the Sith and further their own ends. Eventually becoming the very evil he swore to destroy, in similar fashion to how Anakin fell.
By the time Dooku realized his usefulness to the Sith had expired during the duel over Coruscant it was too late. Sidious’ plan required Dooku remain alive only until the exact moment when Anakin’s faith in the Jedi was ready to be pushed to its limit and then the liability Dooku was had to be eliminated if the Grand Plan was to succeed.
He knew the Jedi were incapable of fixing the problems within the Republic due to their blind faith in it, their reliance on it for their privileged positions in the galaxy, and their complacency with the corruption and decadence which had ensnared the Senate while the citizens of the galaxy struggled. Sidious saw the opening and jumped at it. Even if Dooku wasn’t predisposed to being evil, once you start down the dark path forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will, as it did Yoda’s apprentice.
