@@Thehomelessathlete Yes, you are right, Revan had to fight first the Mandalorians, secondly the Jedi in the Civil War that followed and at last he had to fight nobody but The True Sith themselves, Valkoryon(Darth Vitiate) and Lord Scourge, and the Eternal Empire(Empire of Zakuul). Kreia, the Jedi Master who trained Revan during his way as a Jedi, stated:"It was like looking at the heart of the Force itself, vibrant and flowing endlessly, he was the greatest and most powerful Jedi, firstly, and Sith Lord, secondly, of his time and maybe even of the times which will follow".
Dooku seemed to be very much more in control of his anger. He's always very calm. A duel was like a chess game to him, a challenging intellectual exercise.
@@ravanpee1325 True, but even if he completely outmatched his opponents (take the "arrest" scene from Revenge of the Sith as an example) he put a lot of energy and hatred into his attacks; he even screamed and laughed when electrifying Windu. He puts energy and hatred into all his attacks, where as Dooku, as far as we can see, is just like Daniel said; playing a game of chess, where he knows all the best moves
The answer is actually quite simple. Count Dooku had his own agenda and was no longer affiliated with the Dark Side or the Light Side. It is my opinion that under the right circumstances he would have paired up with any Jedi who were willing to help him overthrow Darth Sidious.
He did join up with Obi-Wan and Anakin in the Clone Wars episodes that had them trapped together as prisoners to pirates. He and Obi-Wan seemed to enjoy each other and liked working together. It was odd seeing them as reasonably pleasant allies under the right circumstances. Of course, he used the excuse that he didn't kill them because they were tied together and he would have to drag their bodies but later the line is broken by blaster fire. So, they probably could have found a way to get apart. I think if Obi-Wan had accepted that the Republic and Jedi were too corrupt he and Dooku could have been friends. Assuming Dooku stopped serving Sidious and massacring civilians.
I’m pretty sure bleeding the crystal is right of passage for a sith do I guess if palpatine didn’t even have him do that he didn’t really see him as his apprentice in the first place he was just a pawn
@@acegabrielcruz3687 I disagree about dooku winning lol. Mace also had shatter point and that combined with vapad almost made him invincible man. Sidious would destroy dooku, and sidious still lost to mace.

@@talon532 just go read a bit its stated EVERYWHERE... im not pulling this out from nowhere dude. Lee absolutely was horrified by the lenses.. and you dont mess with mr lee's demands
Dukoo used the dark side to gain control and power, but wasn't fueled by hate or blinded by rage like most others. He knew how to use the dark side, but not give himself over to it. Honestly he really wasn't that bad of a guy.
it's always sad to see how poorly 'Revenge of the Sith' managed Lee. I would be down to had Dooku for the whole filme and eventually going the Grey Jedi way at the End or so. I hate that they kill him off so easily at the beginning.
Didn't Dooku actually believe in what he was achieving though? He wasn't twisted or bent into form by the darkside, he was always aligned with it's ways going by his backstory.
He does. I'm watching Clone Wars series right now, and on season 4 episode 18 Dooku is fighting with Anakin. And he really has to defend hard, and for a moment he actually has yellow eyes.
Dooku to me always seemed like a Grey force user rather than a Sith or Jedi, he remains Calm and collected right up until the end, his actions never seemed to come from anger or hate but from objective and whether or not he was trying to Trick Obiwan on Genosis, the goal was still to raise awareness of a Sith lord being in control of the senate. just my 2 cents
Dooku never fully gave in to the dark side. It never ruled him, he was too principled for that. Honestly, Dooku is one of the most interesting characters in the franchise. Like, consider how often he fights Obi-wan and Anikin and only ever inflicts non-lethal wounds. Saving when he takes Ani's arm off, he really only inflicts remarkably minor wounds on them, despite the fact that they are there to stop him or take him down.
Count Dooku can be seen with sith eyes in the clone wars animated tv show. S6: Ep 3 - Fugitive Time - 8:09 During his hologram conversation with one of the Kaminoans. Very briefly however. But looks to be Sith eyes in my opinion.
00:50 see that never made any sense to me. Palp is like giving a speech in front of thousands and has completely sith yellow eyes and NOBODY is like “uhhhhhmmmmm, that’s weird.”
Count Dooku is basically the Anton LaVey of Star Wars. They both knew how to use the dark side at a better part. LaVey embraced the feelings of Egotism and Individualism. Dooku was more political. LaVey was also a more darker person while being a nice guy and a very wise man using his knowledge. Same with Count Dooku, he used his knowledge to still defeat Jedis, Only LaVey did not defeat christians, only mocked them and made parodies of them.
The color change in a with only seems to stay when their fear, hate, anger are all consuming. When a with is able.to release these feelings their eyes change back to a normal state.
Count Dooku's life is the tragic tale of someone just trying to reform society and the jedi order, through any means necessary. It almost seems like everyone betrayed him, or at least that's the way he saw it.
Sir Christopher Lee probably said to Lucas- F that... I'm not putting on yellow contacts every day, I'm too old for that. So, they had to come up with a back story about it.
I always thought it wasn't Palpatine "shedding his mask" that made him look like that. It was the impact of Mace Windu forcing Palpatine's force lightning back on him.
Darth Ravage of SWTOR (legends) also kept his natural pale blue eyes. He was a stickler for rules and deeply devoted to his master. Perhaps discipline is what holds back physical corruption?
in my opinion or understanding, he was more calm. I think he wasn't like too "deep" into the Sith like most Siths were. Like Anakin in my opinion was way deep into the Sith due to his anger and everything thats happened to him! Its all about having to use the dark side as well! Like Dooku knew its limits i believe and Anakin didn't.
Something that confuses me is that dooku is litteraly the strongest sith the only reason he lost to anakin is because palpatine told him to not kill anakin and if palpatine had darth plauges knowlege which he had he could have removed dookus elderly struggles dooku rekked obi wan Who defeated maul 2 times dooku defeated anakin and Almost defeated yoda
Dooku knew how to restrain himself. Probably a bit of wisdom he agreed with from the jedi teachings. As you stated he never went full sith. He used and knew some dark side techniques. But he wasnt fueled by the dark side.
do you think count dooku could have killed sidious because mace windu and dooku could use both light side and dark side balanced also if dooku left he could been welcome back to the jedi and mace windu would be grand master and dooku master of the order
I am intrigued by the comparison to Qui-Gon, I.e., the notion that both confronted the same problem with the Jedi Council but moved in opposite directions. I just started reading The episode one novel, and I have in mind to read Apprentice and Master after that. I will be looking out for those themes. The first movie would’ve benefited by emphasizing that contrast.
Dooku is the epitome of grey jedi. He wasn't a sith because he wasn't looking for ultimate power for its own sake. He was really just an example of a man doing the wrong things but for the right reasons.
Dooku to me is more a fallen Jedi manipulated by Plagueis and Palpatine. He did it for his home leaving the jedi order. He wanted to save the republic. He was manipulated and used by Palpatine. Then tossed aside. As Plagueis says the sith take control of the force. Not summing the force for help like a jedi. As a dark side user, you need to make yourself desirable to the dark side of the force. The force to Plagueis is what I would call alive. It seems to like playing games with them. That's why it created Anakin after he tried to make a force being. It reminds me of the Balance between Choas and Law in Micheal Moorcock which went on to create modern fantasy as we know. GOT, witcher, Warhammer, DND, etc Choas and law both fight having warriors on each side. But Choas doesn't want to win since that would be the end of them with entropy. And Law doesn't want to win either.
You hit on it pretty well actually; Dark Side energy corrupts living matter, especially organic tissue. Dooku had far too much pride and self-control and RESTRAINT, which was sort of a central point of his character, to let the Dark Side control him and drive his actions. His actions were always driven by his own personal reasons and logic backing them, rather than impulsiveness. Anakan only showed the dark side corruption in his eyes when fully embracing it and Palpatine is almost a physical manifestation of the Dark Side by the time he drops his mask, and Maul lived it his whole life, all the way to his death on Tattooine.
I deduced as much when watching the clone wars episode when Ventress and Savage attempted to assassinate him. The whole strategic diplomat thing, his obsession with being deductive.
For Vaders explanation, I think it was because Vader and Anakin were like 2 different people. Which is why Anakins ghost did not look like Vader at all. It looked like Anakin. A small inclusion, is when Luke tries to sway Vader back to the dark side he is hostile until he says "It is too late for me son." To me, signifying that was Anakin, NOT Vader.
Maybe its because he was a Jedi in sort just not on the jedi side its the force not the dark and light force so technically welders of both sides probably could be possible because at his heart he did what was needed for the force not out of rage or need for peace but because the force willed it
I was under the impression that the Count lost his battle with Anakin deliberately, as he was instructed by Sidious to do so. He was under the assumption that Sidious' plan was for his capture, rather than his execution. At least I believe that was in the books.
I agree, but I wouldn't put it in such terms... true Sith tend to be people who basically 'lose' themselves to the power of the Darkside. While Dooku was almost never not in control of himself.
Because Count Dooku was never a Sith, he didn´t kill Obiwan nor Anakin when he had a clear chance for both, why? because he didn´t mean to, throwing the tower to them was just because he knew master Yoda would use the force to avoid them getting smashed (he was his disciple and knew what Yoda was able to do...), giving him a chance to escape. I think Dooku realised how blind the Jedi were about the rising menace of the dark side of the force, and infiltrate himself into enemy lines to get information and, eventually, destroy Palpatine somehow..
Or the real answer: Christopher Lee is a high profile actor and they didn't give him Sith eyes because of this ( also most likely Sith eyes would look too goofy on someone like him who had decent screen time in the movie).
Arguably he didn't even go through the full Sith training. Sidious may have been the last one to receive that, as Vader was also able to keep a part of him in the light.
Didn't Count Dooku spend all that time fighting a separatist war knowing he was never going to win it and that he was working for the Chancellor the whole time or did he not know they were the same person? Christopher Lee is a legend, I doubt they would have pushed him to wear yellow contacts when they got him to play the role.
Dooku was not consumed by evil. He saw the force as two sides of the same coin, not allowing himself to be consumed by either "side". His intentions in joining with Sidious were good, he saw that the jedi were corrupt and no longer stood with the force, and saw that the republic cared more about its economy than its people, it sickened him, and he was promised change by Sidious.
Count Dooku was kind of a Black Knight. He didn't let the anger consume him and he had his own way of doing things. I'd say he was honorable but he clearly does unhonorable things which I assume he feels is for the better good. In fighting he preferred to fight like a gentleman rather than a rabid animal.
I hate the fact that Dooku went to the Dark Side and became a Sith, but I really respect the fact that he was a man of self control and discipline. He embodied the darkside and used it the darkside, but the darkside never used him. He truly is a master. I just wish he was a master for good instead of evil.
If children are taken as infants into the Jedi order and essentially have no contact with their families, how does being an aristocrat have any bearing on Dooku’s disposition? He was raised the same way as Obi Wan, Qui Gon, Windu, etc,….
Like Yoda Count Dooku probably wanted to learn both sides of the force but once he became a Sith he couldn't return to the light side without enduring the wrath of Palpatine "much to learn you still have" -Yoda
part of the reason Duku was such a "great" swordsmen is due to his style and lightsaber. Id also like to point out the species difference between maul and duku.. Even without being a sith Maul would have weird colored eyes.
Of course Tyranus didn't appear Sith eyes because he could perfectly control his anger and hatred and knew how to settle. Tyranus was a jentleman unlike many Sith. He was a man in culture.
The way I see it, the yellow eyes indicate that the dark side of the force has taken possession. In other words, the Sith with yellow eyes are the ones that are no longer masters of the dark side. They are ones who are slaves of the dark side. This means that Darth Sidious is no master, but Count Dooku was. And perhaps this meant that he didn't have as much power as he otherwise would display, but at least the power he wielded was truly his. It makes me wonder what would have happened if he became a gray Jedi embracing both the light and the Darkness mastering both without letting either Master him.

He hid his eyes in the movies like Palpatine, he has Sith eyes in some scenes in Clone Wars. So Dooku does have Sith eyes.

No thanks.
Dooku walks the Path of Grey.
Just like the very few before him.
I think the glowing yellow eyes is more just a visual metaphor to better show the anger and corruption in someone. Not meant to show theyre a sith.

Dooku was not consumed by evil. He saw the force as two sides of the same coin, not allowing himself to be consumed by either "side". His intentions in joining with Sidious were good, he saw that the jedi were corrupt and no longer stood with the force, and saw that the republic cared more about its economy than its people, it sickened him, and he was promised change by Sidious.
Now do Jar Jar’s eyes so everyone can see the truth that he’s a Sith Lord
Having a red lightsaber isn’t significant to being to the dark side. Just as a Nikon with a blue blade makes him a light side following Jedi.
Count Dooku was kind of a Black Knight. He didn't let the anger consume him and he had his own way of doing things. I'd say he was honorable but he clearly does unhonorable things which I assume he feels is for the better good. In fighting he preferred to fight like a gentleman rather than a rabid animal.
Palpatine’s face is disfigured because Mace Windu threw the force lighting back at him, not because he is a Sith.
I hate the fact that Dooku went to the Dark Side and became a Sith, but I really respect the fact that he was a man of self control and discipline. He embodied the darkside and used it the darkside, but the darkside never used him. He truly is a master. I just wish he was a master for good instead of evil.
If children are taken as infants into the Jedi order and essentially have no contact with their families, how does being an aristocrat have any bearing on Dooku’s disposition? He was raised the same way as Obi Wan, Qui Gon, Windu, etc,….
Dooku was too superior to be blinded by the dark side
Like Yoda Count Dooku probably wanted to learn both sides of the force but once he became a Sith he couldn't return to the light side without enduring the wrath of Palpatine
"much to learn you still have" -Yoda
part of the reason Duku was such a "great" swordsmen is due to his style and lightsaber. Id also like to point out the species difference between maul and duku.. Even without being a sith Maul would have weird colored eyes.
he was wearing sith issued contact lenses
Hold on thr force lightning caused Palpatine look
Every sith looks cool
They just didn’t want to put contacts in to Christopher lee’s eyes
Of course Tyranus didn't appear Sith eyes because he could perfectly control his anger and hatred and knew how to settle. Tyranus was a jentleman unlike many Sith. He was a man in culture.
Dooku is a chad he control the dark side not the other way around.
I think count dooku was like a conceler of sidous that's probably why he wanted him dead
The way I see it, the yellow eyes indicate that the dark side of the force has taken possession. In other words, the Sith with yellow eyes are the ones that are no longer masters of the dark side. They are ones who are slaves of the dark side. This means that Darth Sidious is no master, but Count Dooku was. And perhaps this meant that he didn't have as much power as he otherwise would display, but at least the power he wielded was truly his. It makes me wonder what would have happened if he became a gray Jedi embracing both the light and the Darkness mastering both without letting either Master him.
Good points
*Dooku had contact lenses*
