Dooku's Plan to Get REVENGE For Qui-Gon's Death - Star Wars Explained 

Fun fact: In legends, Dooku was still a part of the order in TPM, after many dissargreements he told the jedi "if one more jedi dies because of you incomptence im leaving the order" the next jedi who died was qui gon.

This is the thing that's truthfully tragic about Dooku as he's a character who perfectly defines "good intentions leading one astray" as despite his turning on the Jedi and Republic he truthfully wanted to make the Galaxy a better place his only mistake was trusting Palpatine

This was rather thought provoking. If Qui Gon had lived and trained Anakin, the young Skywalker would most likely have become a more calm and well-adjusted Jedi, and less needy and desperate; in other words, less vulnerable to the deceptions and manipulations of Lord Sidious... Qui-Gon, Anakin, Obi- wan and Dooku would've been a formidable quartet. Sidious may very well have met his end much earlier.

I always wondered what would it have been like if Qui Gon lived, but instead of the council letting Him train Anakin. They assigned Dooku to train him.

Dooku even saw Kenobi as a grandson of sorts and tried several times to convince Palpatine that he would make a better apprentice than Anakin and failing that at least allow him to live. Loved the line in the Clone Wars when Dooku calls Kenobi a worthy adversary, definitely proud that Qui Gon trained such a powerful and clever Jedi

Christopher Lee just had a thing for the baddies. Saruman: "We must join with him, Gandalf." Count Dooku: "You must join me, Obi-Wan, and together we will destroy the Sith!"

Jinn was all but a son to Dooku. That kind of grief could destroy anyone.

Dooku: Look how they massacred my boy

Dooku wasn’t really a Sith even though he was named with the Sith Moniker Darth Tyranus. He clearly wanted to create something different then what the Jedi had become and what the Sith were. He was playing both sides against the middle in an effort to dismantle both Sith and Jedi and rise up from the Ashes with his new creation that was more of a Grey Jedi theology.

Dooku was always the " Odd Sith Out " , the " Phony " Sith . Seemed to have his Own Agenda despite being Sidious' faithful Apprentice . Never displayed the Orange/Yellow Eyes and , although sinister , never really seemed as Intrinsically Evil as Maul or Oppress let alone Sidious .

Oh and i think in part, he was able to bleed his lightsaber crystal Red from the devastating loss of Qui Gonn. A man he felt a strong kinship with - like father and son As you also said - host

Imagine if Qui-Gon survived the Battle with Darth Maul and continue on with the Jedi Order. This would result in Dooku mostly like not turning to Sidious. Who would be Sidious's Stand-In apprentice to lead the droids and Separatist during the Clone Wars until Sidious fully had Anakin under his Wing. What if Maul really did die after Obi-Wan defeated him! With Dooku or Maul, maybe Savage Oppress could be trained by Sidious to fight Yoda and start the Clone Wars!

I think it's a travesty that we never got to see Christopher Lee lend us another stellar performance even if it was just a flashback of count dooku as a jedi

Please do part 3 of "what if Qui-Gon trained anakin"

My guess would be that palpatine put alot of his force energy in influence so he could move people around like pawns. A technique that obi wan eventually picked up in “a new hope” which is probably why force influence skills werent seen in the prequels. Dookus need for revenge was palpatines “in” to turn him into sith.

I always wondered why Dooku joined the sith even though they killed his student

I really liked this video, you should do more like this. Your is my favorite star wars channel

Nice job this is amazing

Amazing vid man also I really want one of those hoods you guys have

Dooku was right

As it turned out, Dooku came so tantalisingly close to exacting revenge as we saw in the comic series. After Sidious captured Maul following Lawless (SWCW Episode) being part of his plan to root out mother Talzin. Maul was helpless and restrained - he would have been easy prey for Dooku had Sidious allowed it Talk about frustration! 😠✊

I felt bad for Duku, because he was played and twisted by Palpatine. He wanted revenge, this is a path to the dark side, and then Palkpatine used that to twist Duku's mind. Palpatine being the bbet at using mind tricks to bend his will around whoever. Anakin fell the same way to Paltatine with the false promise of power.

Excellent! More Dooku videos!

There's a question I've been meaning to ask: in the Clone Wars series, Yoda knows of Darth Bane and the Rule of Two and I've been wondering how exactly. Where the Jedi aware of the Banite Sith this whole time and just didn't view them as a threat or was Yoda's insight just a bit of exposition for the viewers?

I'd like to know what Dooku's ultimate plan was. Unless I'm mistaken, the Sith's official intent was to have Dooku switch sides and blame the atrocities of the CIS on Grevious, with Order 66 happening somewhere along the line and then ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity. Officially. There's no way Dooku actually believed that though. He must have had a plan to destroy Sidious along with the Jedi. Unfortunately for him, he was always a step behind. I'd like to see something like this explored on screen.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS

Dooku was suppose to destroy the Sith not join them!

soo many characters deserving of their own series, Dooku would be a perfect character.

Normally I don't mind it when these videos go on for twice as long as they need to, but for some reason, I felt like this one became more needlessly confusing the longer it dragged on. It was almost talking in circles by the end. Instead of "Dooku disillusioned with Jedi and republic > Qui Gon dies > Dooku wants revenge and studies dark side to gain what he needs to exact this revenge and realizes that the sith might actually have a more noble goal > meets with Palpatine to discuss his thoughts and admits that perhaps he could join the sith and accept the loss of Qui Gon if it meant restructuring the galaxy in a better way > Palpatine reveals himself as Sidious", ..... This video was instead more like "Dooku was not happy with Jedi and Republic > he loved his Padawan Qui Gon very much and respected him and by the way he also respected Obi Wan by extension and wanted to save him from order 66 > anyway there was a titular event that made Dooku ultimately fall to the dark side > remember how disillusioned Dooku was with the Republic and the Jedi, and how many times he wanted to improve the order but was denied for political reasons > anyway the titular event which finally pushed Dooku over the edge was the death of his former Padawan, Qui Gon > Dooku felt he needed revenge for Qui Gons death, but he still felt he could do it as a Jedi Master > he goes to tell Palpatine his thoughts > he tells Palpatine that he is disillusioned with the order > Dooku is really upset about the loss of Qui Gon > so Dooku studies dark side texts to get what he needs to hunt down and destroy the sith master > the Jedi believed Maul was the sith master and had already been slain by obi wan, but Dooku knew they were wrong > so anyway Dooku is telling all this to Palpatine, who Dooku believed to be a non- corrupt politician who could change things for the better > oh yeah so back to those dark side texts Dooku was studying, remember how he initially wanted to do this as a Jedi Master? > Dooku was disillusioned with the Jedi by this point, so as he read the dark side texts, he realized that maybe the sith were actually right > Palpatine is intrigued at all of this > oh hey, remember back when Plageus told Palpatine that Dooku might one day make a great Sith if he weren't bound to the Jedi? > Yeah so anyway, Dooku decided that the entire Jedi and Republic might need to be restructured > maybe it was the grand plan of the sith all along to do this > he really wanted revenge for the death of Qui Gon, and studied dark side texts to get there, deciding that he could accept Qui Gon's death if it meant that the sith were actually right > Palpatine is still listening, intrigued > Dooku decided to change his mind, as he once believed that he could study the dark side scrolls, and hunt down the sith master in the shadows, catching him off guard and defeating him in single combat > Dooku believed that the sith were not the simple warriors of old, but that now they were much deeper into political influence and working from the shadows, making them more dangerous > Dooku believed that if he dug deep into Tatooine, he could find this sith Lord > Dooku had great influence as a Jedi, but not as much as he needed > maybe the ultimate plan of the Sith is to restructure the galaxy > Dooku admits that he might be willing to accept the death of Qui Gon and join the sith if it means a better future for the galaxy > Palpatine chooses to reveal himself as Sidious to the Count". Confused yet?

Was this before or after he hunted nazis and lead a heavy metal band?

Count Dooku Saw That The Jedi Were In Trouble They Wouldn't Listen Qui Gon Died And He Left And Turned To The Dark Side

dooku was a good guy

I think Dooku wanted a independent order and he had several people in mind to build it with . Real Averross was another he spoke to about the Republic overlooking slavery,and knew Raell had become unhappy with the Jedi an didn't care if he stayed in the order

Amazing,count dooku is one of my favourite Star Wars characters ever, fantastic job.

Dooku shuold have left the Jedi and then enjoy his retirement on his planet.

Stupendous Wave- the king of repeating himself for much longer than necessary to try and make as much phoney from a video as possible lol

May see this in Tales Of The Jedi which hopefully leads to a Tales Of The Sith or Tales Of The Mandalorian series?

You are making videos nearly every day, here's a question that might probably yield a video. How many times if ever have the Hutt cartels killed members of the Jedi/Sith ? (and retaliations) Or maybe the opposite, how many times have Jedi/Sith murdered a Hutt. (I mean we all know what happened to Jabba)

Dooku's family. Qui Gon his son and obi wan his grandson.

ORDER 66

I always had a fan theory that dooku suspected palpatine was a Sith Lord when they had the talk in his office

PLEASE COMPLETE PART 3 OF WHAT IF QUI GONG TRAINED ANAKIN

Dooku: **Basically figures out everything and anything about Palpatine's plan.** Palpatine: YOU'RE HIRED! (To not-yet existent clones guarding his office: Execute Order Sixty-Six!)

That would be a cool “what if”

And he always looked regal like a real Sith Lord.

Like anakin skywalker said I quote we need someone wise to rule Republic “”like kylo ren said the supereme leader is wise’”” we need Vader father king lord dark Darth plagues to rule again

What’s as the rift 50 years before the phantom menace that dooku sensed?

In the clone wars series dukoo says he is at the battle of nabo already apprenticed to Sidious. Although qui gons death would make him commit more to the dark side and “the plan” it couldn’t have been the deciding factor As always, I love these videos and they always make me think and enjoy Star Wars that much more 👍🙂❤️

I’m reading Labyrinth of Evil and it’s amazing. Idk what Didney says, in my opinion they botched it so I’m sticking to before they did so and it’s great

Interesting, a 8:40 video that could have been summed up in 3:15. Is there a reason for all the repetitive dialogue?

What was the weird noise around 2:15?

Makes sense to have Maul take out Jinn. Making Dooku’s fall to the darkside complete.

I would of liked to see Dooku execute and defeat Maul just like Anakin would later defeat Dooku and that Luke would later beat Vader yeah.

Can we get top ten DOOKU facts?

Um dooku was already with palpatine during the phantom menace as shown in the tales of the jedi

I thought dooku was already a sith when qui Gon died

I really don't believe Dooku was that evil Dooku is just misunderstood Dooku was just a powerful Jedi Master but he was the most intelligent and smartest Jedi Master

Dooku is probably the best of the Late Republic Jedi

NICE JOB

You keep cutting off the end of the word "revenge". Is this on purpose?

I'm still lost wayyyy before Maul killed Gin.... he had been YEARS left the jedi. Like count left when he still had coler hair, before we See him n know him the old white gray hair court....sooo this video kinda didn't make sense.

Way Darth plagues clone working palpatine clone not working way .

It just hit me...Palpatine is Putin:-0

So Qui gon Jin death turned dooku to the dark side

Way palpatine clone not working king plagues clone or healing way palpatine clone don’t heal but king plagues clone or healing

So how come when maul came back he never tried to get get back

talk about messed up

Way Darth plagues clone working palpatine clone don’t work they don’t heal

But Qui-Gon's death being Dooku's motivation doesn't make sense. TCW revealed that Sifo Dias was assassinated by Dooku when Dias went on a mission at Valorum's request. During the battle of Naboo, Valorum was already voted out his position

Please stop misusing the word “titular”.

Way plagues clone or healing ❤️‍🩹 palpatine not healing

i will be honest, i liked his character better than Palpatine. I would have liked to see a back story movie about him and Quigon. I wish they would have kept him a good guy. His character would have made a good wise old man father figure and I don’t mean Wilbur Wonka.

NNNNNNOOOOOOO

The ultimate truth is that in the era where the Star Wars movies are placed, the Sith are evil, but the Jedi are the villains.

#Dookudidnuthinwrong

First! Another awesome vid as always!

Dooku was looking for any excuse to justify his actions nothing more nothing less.

Nice

Where are u getting this info? I can't believe people believe this ur as bad as Mike zeroh

Hi
