Accompanied by the career "Jedi-in-training" Chosen one

Normally, killing the enemy leader is a paper tiger offensive move that actually galvanizes the enemy. However, Palpatine is a high-stakes gambler that always wins and several of the Clone Wars battles were near misses that only succeeded because of Palpy’s faith in his minions! A bickering interim ruling council easily could’ve lost the entire war on accident!

​@@callmev3531Then Luke just bypassed all of the min maxing by speccing into both Jedi and Sith without the drawbacks of either.

Palpatine planed for Dooku to die by Anakin’s blade, and move closer to the dark side as a result. It was also important that Obi-Wan (the closest Anakin had to a brother) not know about Padmé’s pregnancy, so that Anakin had no one close to him, apart from the chancellor, that he could turn to. These three are messing with Palpatine’s plan.

@@rafikshaheed4271 It's basically canon at this point that Obi-Wan knew all along and because of what happened with him and Satine was willing to keep it an 'open secret' between the two. Anakin was the one who didn't think Obi-Wan knew and didn't want to tell him out of fear of disappointing the closest thing he had to a father. Part of the tragedy being how Obi-Wan would have been completely understanding, even if Anakin chose to leave the order.

@@JaceMorley first of all, Obi-Wan’s lover was Satine Kryze. Sabine is part of the Ghost Crew. Secondly, It is shown in Episode III that Obi-Wan is aware of Anakin and Padmé’s relationship, but Dooku may not know that he notices it, so is revealing something that would allow Anakin to have a confidant and someone he can turn to for aid. Yes, Obi-Wan knew, but it is possible that he may never reveal this with his former apprentice. Now that it is out in the open (the chancellor, a sith lord and Kenobi are clearly privy to this information), this may prompt Obi-Wan to discuss with Anakin about it and show that he is understanding and that he is someone Anakin could turn to.

@@rafikshaheed4271 oh right, t not b. fixed the typo

You make Palpatine sound like the beleaguered Dungeon Master that just wants his group to go into the dungeon, but they're too busy dicking around town being murder hobos.

Well he DID write the script

He has “foreseen it” after all.

Have you ever had a discussion with someone in your head and just when they actually start talking everything goes array and you can't make any of the points you were thinking before that moment? Well, Palpatine tries to get in his lines anyway.

Dooku: This is a race I can't afford to lose. Kenobi: He's right. Yoda: Run, I will. Good relations with Master Dooku, I have.

It reminds me of the martial arts trope of masters facing each other looking for weaknesses, then after a few minutes declare a draw because they could not find any in each other. Without a single blow.

few hours later... Palps: Dooku? DOOKU!?!? Dooku: Yes, my Master? Palps: Those bastards think I'm dead. To hell with it, broadcast to all troops. Its time for Order 66 Dooku: What about Anakin Skywalker? Palps: Fuck him.

And Dooku would be in his right to take out his master as per the rule of 2.

Palps: *sniff* nobody likes me....

But he would just come back ... Somehow.

That’s what I’m saying

He has such a grandfatherly vibe about him

Well, he trained Qui-gon, who he viewed as his own son, and Qui-gon trained Obi-wan, so that would mean Dooku is kind of like Kenobis grandfather, so it checks out

At this point Anakin doesn’t even know Padmé is pregnant. It is after the battle that she tells him.

That’s because it is

he's always the only who trying to advance the plot.

Grievous takes himself way too seriously to make for fun chat

Yeah, the dooku stuff is why the original clone wars cartoon kinda worked better into the movie, though they had Grievous kill a few Jedi who had lived in the movie I believe. It did make him come off as a real Jedi killing threat and I believe they had Anakin kill Ventress to give credence to their "Sith Lords are our speciality" line. I need to rewatch that series, it was so good, and kinda more impressive for what it accomplished in a series of shorts. Mace Windu taking down an army of droids with his bare hands is awesome!

​@LaserDiscWarrior3043 not in only good one.

Is it gaslighting if it's true? Most ships that size don't have Hyperdrives. And Vulture droids always pop out of a larger ship. (Edit) just checked only 50 Vulture Droids were ever given Hyperdrives and that was before the Naboo blockade.

@@hunterackerman1697 Deflection can be a type of gaslighting.

That's the joke.

Season 6, episode 10 was the last time they fought on-screen before this, which was about 1-2 weeks before their final fight

a nice example of the show's genius being well overstated.

@@kalebgamez808 Oh, so Dooku WAS right! Nice!

His earnest excitement just totally undercuts Obi-Wan's authority by revealing he had to have been thinking about that line for a VERY long time, and not only that, but telling Anakin about it multiple times.

Holy crap! It did feel like a minute! I love this!

Total. Well done!

OOF

Yeah, I think that's actually canon. Like... He finds out during the final battle. It's obvious in his dialogue he's genuinely surprised when he finds out from Luke's thoughts

Complacency and pride seemed to be some of the Council's most critical flaws.

Which is exactly why Sidious told Dooku to get captured and than betrayed him. He knew Dooku could kill Anikin if he didn't fuck around, so he set the plan up for Dooku to be captured by the "evil Jedi" who'd later be freed by the Empire as a loyal hand of the Emperor. But instead, he taunted Aniken, didn't kill him as planned and instead of getting captured he was betrayed by Palpatine so that he could seperate Annie from the Council more. Dooku was probably the only Duelist in the Galaxy who could match Yoda and Sidious in combat. His old age was the only downside, in his prime he was outright better than Yoda with a saber. In was in one of the books that Darth Plagious told Sidious the grand plan would fail if Dooku became Jedi Grandmaster as not only was he at that time better than Sidious and probably Plagious both, but his thoughts about how to be a Jedi were not as dogmatic. Thankfully for them both, Yoda could live for a long fucking time and Dooku didn't age well.

@@moonman239 “Ah yes, Chancellor, because a squad of clones will certainly stand a chance against a Sith Lord!”

to be fair. R2's greatest ability has always been "bail out idiot Skywalkers" since anakin was pod racing. so he could have made a big difference. you could say it's "his specialty."

​@@TeChNoWC7 at least they had a very thorough explanation for it and there's precedent in the extended universe for it.

Maul got him back, so they 1-1 by this point.

Pretty sure the _Invisible Hand_ was trying to get out of the system, but there was kinda a massive battle to navigate before they could get a clear hyperspace jump.

Yeah they should've left the second they had Palps. Someone should've smelled a rat.

@@InSanic13 Not exactly. The novel's version of the events depicts a more detailed version of Palpatine's and Dooku's plan. They had Palpatine kidnapped in order to have Anakin and Obi-Wan recalled from the outer rim sieges, the plan was to lure them to the invisible hand, and for Anakin to "defeat" Dooku and bring him in as a prisoner of war and to have Obi-Wan killed to drive Anakin to the dark side. They were going to paint Dooku as a noble man trying to fight for equality and depict all the heinous war crimes of the CIS onto Grievous. Sidious betrayed this plan, as Dooku wasn't expecting for Obi-Wan or Anakin to be so powerful or skilled. Added on that Palpatine in the novels and the comic version gave Anakin advice on how to use the dark side during the duel to increase his power. Along with Palpatine ordering Anakin to execute Dooku, which is why he's making such a surprised face in the film as that wasn't "their" plan but rather Sidious plan.

​​@@ancientking224also the invisible hand was extremely powerful. The only reason we see that broadside in the movie is because, according to the book, that cruiser bas basically cored out and unable to pull back I think

None of this happened anyway 😂

It's that easy

If the separtists killed palpatine, it would make him a martyr and the republic would keep fighting

@@joshmanchester5873wouldn’t matter since the CIS always held back without palps they could go all in and crush the republic

In a modern conflict, which the Clone Wars clearly was, killing the supreme leader of the opposing faction is actually a terrible idea. Has been since what, the sixteenth century and tge Renaissance?

​@@mateuszjokiel2813It depends on the system of governance really. More personalistic ones, like Hitler Nazi Germany, may suffer from a decapitation strike because Hitler intentionally fostered rivalries between his subordinates and the line of succession was never really that clear. Meanwhile, the Republic is still technically a democracy, as well as having a very clear line of succession in place. The Chancellor just has a lot of emergency powers. If he is killed, Vice Chancellor Amedda takes his place, and then the Senate can elect a new one. So, killing Palpatine if he wasn’t also Sidius, wouldn’t stop the war yes.

Also a lot of CIS systems disliked the government system, not necessarily palpatine. I think a lot may even like him. Except the trade federation of course

😂

Something I wish people would stop doing in the comments sections of videos like this!! I literally read someone implying Anakin asking Dooku: "If I subtract 2 hands from you, you have how many left?" *_ANAKIN LITERALLY DID THAT IN THE OFFICIAL REVENGE OF THE SITH MOVIE!!!_*

​@@sealsaregood5146: *_PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS SAFE AND SANE, DISABLE THE COMMENTS SECTIONS OF THESE!!!!!_*

Yeah I love clone wars, but yeah the show has alot of issues to connect to revenge of the sith, like you mentioned the fighting with Dooku. Main point is that Anakin from Clone wars and Revenge of the sith Anakin are too different characters. 2d clone wars did connect to the movie better (except Grievous, he felt like way different character)

​@@danielmedjedovic7068Grievous in ROTS is way closer to the TCW version over 03 version. Guy is lame as fuck in that movie. 03 version is closer to the Legends interpretation.

In fairness, the last time the three of them fought in season 6, Anakin and Obi-Wan had to separate so that Anakin could try and chase Dooku (though originally they were going to fight one last time in the Dark Disciple arc, and they would’ve made a bigger deal about Anakin and Obi-Wan separating during that fight).

@@aaronputhalath2778 Its what I said, I said that Clone wars 2D is closer to Revenge of the sith, except some characters like Grievous who in 2D is not the same as in Revenge of the sith, Clone wars 3D Grievous is closer to Revenge of the sith, tho in movie it feels like Obi-wan and Grievous is fighting for the first time despite fighting many times through the series
