Both forms (Makashi, Vaapad) are polar opposites but either could equally demolish opponents in their own respective way. If they faced each other it would depend on what stage of time. If it was during EP2 then it would be evenly matched. During the encounter on the Geonosis platform Dooku chose not to directly engage the dangerous Jedi (Dooku was a master strategist and knew when he could win or not). During the clone wars Windu grew in both power and skill. By EP3 Dooku was 82, he would of put up a good fight but overtaken in the end against Windu at this stage.
How are they having a strong connection to the force when most of their body has been removed and replaced with the mechanical parts? Darth Vader is an excellent example of how the loss of the physical body disconnects you from the force
I still think Anakin would destroy prime Griveous, It’d be aggression vs aggression, one who can mimic the darkside vs one who can tap into it very quickly and destructively.
Rule of 2, bah! I prefer the rule of Who, there will always be a doctor and a master frolicking through time and space in a cosmic game of tag. Sith is a title and with only 2 basically a self given title, so any force user who learns of the sith could be one, not like there is an application you have to submit and the force would tell you nope some dork in the past made a rule there can only be 2 so we have to decline you for the job. I would like to have seen a Dooku lead sith academy or whatever his final plans where.
Basically Kenobi tried everything to get hett to back down without a fight and having failed. Used most effective means at his disposal to end the fight, nullify the threat of the tuskans to rest of Tatooine and larrs family as well as spare hett, even if the methods that he used were overly harsh and brutal.
Because Anakin might just not defeat Grevious in an out and out duel and becauss the Jedi order we’re playing power politics with Sidious refusing to let the chancellor have his way here. Plus as they say in the film, a master was needed to defeat Grevious. Most accurately the master of soresu, Kenobi whose perfect defensive style would allow him to blunt grevious attacks with an impenetrable defence until the cyborg general Mayes must shed that he can exploit with deadly accuracy to win the duel.
I think a heavy dose of envy was at play, in spite of how much the Jedi would claim that Jedis don't feel envy. And why Kenobi? Why not Mace or even Yoda himself?
Faloni is so slow with his storytelling, Bad Batch was slow 90% of the time, Tales of the Jedi was a nice insight and was hoping Tales of the Empire would be on that level and it was meh… 6/10 he needs help writing the story, plot is not bad but execution was subpar.
Also if he was on utapau, order 66 couldn't have happened. Ani pretty much kills windu and thus saving palps. If ani was on utapau none of this would've happened.
Which is interesting because in the past the Chancellor Vellorum and others (books) would assign Jedi to missions-trust was breaking down and they weren’t handling it well
I love the channel and the longer videos ive been watching you since im 16 i just have one thing to say ive noticed with youre longer videos you just mash them all together so at times we have litterly the same topic just maybe edit them a bit more before the uploud other then that its great awsome fun content 😊
Imagine how things could have gone if they told Anakin they wanted him on Coruscant because they wanted him to be ready to move in on Darth Sidious once he revealed himself.
If the Jedi council had explained things to Anakin the way that you explained it in this video, I'm pretty sure Anakin would have taken it a lot better
Hey... Thanks for the videos. Growing up i always wanted to read more star wars, eh i was going to tell a story but most people dont care. Thank you for the videos, I appreciate it more than you as a content creator realize. .
I was 100% sure you were being sarcastic lol. I mean, even 6 years ago it was a bit silly to say lol. Obi Wan would have killed his ass during his prime, and we all know he never was the most gifted. Anakin would have destroyed him before his fall to the dark, and after as Vader. Sidious? Even as a crusty 80yo croc wearing fart would have fried him in a moment. Since Yoda kept up with a prime Sidious, no doubt a 950 year old Yoda wouldn’t even have to try (not even to kill him, but to capture him like a punk lol so that his mom could ground him). If Maul could kill Jinn, a master Jedi trained by the best duelist the order had to offer (Dooku) I mean, come on. so no, just no. Oh he was super injured? Pain sustains a Sith Lord. If duelling wasn’t possible anymore, ANY being with the title of Darth would use a savage level of force to break all necks around him plus fry them for good measure, especially if dead was coming. Just imagine how inconsiderable it would be to imagine the half second a trooper with a lightsaber would last against even an average padawan during the republic; let alone ANY master duellist in the entire SW canon. This is so dumb and bad writing, christ! Rey and Kylo are so … garbage characters. No depth, no logic. I mean, the prequels are freaking masterpieces in comparison. Hell I REALLY thought the second Disney movie would be as worst as it would get, but then… The third one. Everything about Rey is unearned and artificial. Everything about Ren is flat, predictable AF, and just bad. Their arc feels like it was written by AI (and a bad one). At least GL gave us some great moment and scores in the prequels, like the duel of faith, Obi Wan v Anakin on Mustafar, etc. All the events in the backgrounds and lead up to the main plot gave space to new creator to expand so much. I cannot say any of that from the Disney sequels. In fact, these movies reduced the SW universe and its potential.
Top 10 duelist are 1) Prime Yoda 2) Old Luke 3) Palpatine Reborn 4) Darth Vader 5) Revan 6) Jacen Solo 7) Dooku 8) Mace Windu 9) Prime Kenobi 10) Clone Wars Anakin
The Jedi dispatched Obi-Wan because, had Anakin eliminated Grievous, the Emperor would have claimed complete credit for ending the war, and his subsequent action would likely have been to compel the Jedi to dissolve. I believe this was the Supreme Chancellor's initial strategy to destroy the Jedi as it would have made people lose faith in the Jedi while fully trusting the Chancellor as the true protector of the galaxy. Compelling them to disband was where the Chancellor expected the conflict to happen and that is why he implanted Order 66 to make the Clones overwhelm the Jedi. When the Council decided to send Obi-Wan, it disrupted the Supreme Chancellor's plans, which is why Palpatine appeared surprised and was compelled to take the desperate step of revealing his identity as the Sith Lord to Anakin.
Putting aside the chancellor being the Dark Lord of Sith for a moment the Jedi Council made the right diction not to send Anakin to help hunt Grievous but they were wrong not to let Anakin to the chancellor alone they should have an other knight who Anakin respected and was personally with familiar to accomany him, along with not letting him give his own voice on council meeting they maybe not let him vote but at least stated his a views as well as chancllor that will at the least throw a monkey wranch into his plans even if it is just a little one
Why does anybody duel Grievous when they can lift him up with the force and crush him like a beer can. He has no Force ability to stop them. Maybe some some Jedi ‘wouldn’t go there’, but Anakin would have..
The "short" leash vs Grevious was clearly worry that either Anakin falls to Darkness TOO fast OR that he loses an gets maimed or especially KILLED by the Cyborg. Besides NOT fully trusting Anakin on the opposite side of that coin he WAS one of their greatest if not THE Greatest Knight an general they had. Losing him would've been BAD for both their image an war effort. An there they probably held similar thoughts definitely it had to be posed wether if he'd fallen even if hed won alone given his temperament
Sidious was also foreseeing the future on things. So, after telling the Jedi Anakin would be a master to represent the Republic, he tells them he wants Anakin to take out Grievous, knowing they'd say no, knowing they'd send Kenobi just to spite Palpatine. But this was what he wanted them to do, using their own rebellion against them in this moment to make them do what he really wanted them to do secretly.
I often wonder, what is a year, to the Star Wars universe? Billions of planets, almost all connected, who’s to say what a year is? Depending on the size of the planet, the distance from its sun and the speed of its orbit, 1 day on a planet, could equal 1000+ earth years?
