Why Count Dooku Isn’t A True Sith! 😱 

He also planned to double cross him as shown in attack of the clones

Count dooku was like the most based character in Star Wars.

Slavery existed under jedi watch so he had a point.

Darth maul did call this man a sith pretender

I feel like he’s kind of like starkiller in the sense that he isn’t truly evil just lead by the wrong people and used

After all these years, this actually makes sense. Dooku was the most honorable in the Clone Wars. In his own reasons

He left the order to leave politics to join the sith to deal with even more politics xD

The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

his motive has been to overthrow sidious ever since being his apprentice, also 20 years older than his master is

"You wear the trappings of the Sith. You fight like the Sith. Yet these things can be imitated, however. You lack a vital quality found in all Sith. Sith have no fear. And I sense much in you." -- Count Dooku to Asajj Ventress

One of the coolest moments in Clone wars were, when Dooko had sith eyes a couple of times when he used force lighting

BOY! That fight with a blinded Count Dooku against Ventress and the night sisters!

The road to hell is pathed with good intentions as the saying goes

It’s relative The main maxim of the Sith is to pursue one’s passion Not all Sith are conquerors by motivation In Canon, Lord Momin was at heart an artist Despite all the havoc he done, at his core he’s an artist. Also while most Sith believe that the Force serves them. Momin believe in serving the Dark Side, not unlike how Jedi believe in serving the Force He followed his own passion, that motivated him to do all the horrible things he did to even after he died Dooku as Darth Tyranus is no different His passion was always to bring peace and order to the galaxy. And at least as a Jedi to serve the people of the Republic, as he believed Jedi were supposed to Dooku was both a Sith and a Jedi At his core, he never stopped believing in the Jedi’s goal to bring peace to the galaxy and serve the people He felt the Jedi lost their way and became pawns to a corrupt Republic that no longer deserves them Dooku became a Sith to fulfill his goal. To create an utopian autocratic Empire that would still the voices of corruption with its authority, as the flaw of democracy often gives voice to corruption He rather if Jedi led the galaxy, as their connection to the Force makes them enlightened and better equipped to lead If the Jedi can’t do it then the Sith would lead instead Besides ruling, Palpatine didn’t actually care for Dooku’s Utopia He didn’t care about the public good He wanted an Empire of sycophants that would worship and obey him for all eternity, and would use corrupt forces and nepotism to control his Empire Palpatine didn’t want to lead, he wanted everyone to follow Dooku wanted to lead and bring the greater good to the galaxy, and felt the Sith was the only path to achieve it Dooku didn’t have Sith eyes, because he controlled the Dark Side like a Jedi. He controlled his emotions, he rarely gives into rage. Because he’s in control, the Dark Side doesn’t really dominate him. He’s the closest thing in canon to a Grey Jedi or Sith. Kylo Ren didn’t have Sith eyes despite his emotional instability because he was between the Dark and Light and was torn apart by the conflict as reflected in his cracked saber. Unlike Dooku who was always in control of himself He died hoping that the Empire he helped build would bring Order to the galaxy which makes his fate tragic

This is one of most biggest misunderstanding in Star Wars. Dooku was just as selfish and evil as Maul. It is true that Dooku turned to the darkside because he saw it as a mean to a better society but he became corrupted by the darkside. In the times of the clone wars he lusted for power above all else and gained personal wealth from robbing systems. He was not better than any sith. As for the sith eyes I think he just hide it like Sidious did it. In clone wars we can see Dooku's sith eyes for a few times in moments when he intensively uses the darkside.

Y’know who was also motivated by philosophical and political goals… Palpatine. Anyone who genuinely thinks Dooku wasn’t that evil have ironically fallen for the very persona he puts on throughout the Clone Wars era, also I’m pretty sure he had Sith eyes for brief flashes when torturing Savage. It just wasn’t in his best interest to flaunt them for intimidation, don’t want the Separatists thinking you’re a demon puppeting them😅.

And that’s why Dooku will always be the 🐐

He was a Dark Jedi, technically.

"The Jedi have become politicians" *Proceeds to become a politician

I feel like you could call him a gray sith

Imagine a Sith with ILLUMINATED red eyes

The video is good, thanks! 👍🙂👍 I only have one correction. Dooku had Sith eyes in at least one situation (throwing Force lightning at Savage Opress in a training session).

He also did NOT kill the person he cared about most, which is the final step to be considered a true sith.

when we are kids, we love heroes as we become adults we understand villans

Dooku wasn t good character but not 100% bad. He was just weird but super cool

Dooku was how a Sith should be.

Btw he had sith eyes however he didn't had all time Because he wasn't entirely on the dark side like Maul or Sidious

"Why count dooku isn't a true sith. Now of course, he is a sith but-"

Okay, but that's what makes him such an amazing character

As the old saying goes the pathway to hell is paved in good intentions

I never realized that he didn’t have Sith red eyes

He did have Sith eyes in some moments, like when he was electrocuting Savage.

Dooku is an complex character who deserved a lot more movie time

Dooku was a fallen twisted jedi but ultimately he still had jedi decipline and saw his sith ways as a means to an end that he saw as noble. He didn't have the bloodlust and raw ambition indicative of true sith.

The thing is, Dooku was pretty much just misunderstood.

My favourite episode was where Dooku said “it’s dookin’ time”

“You are part of the Sith council, but we do not grant you the rank of Sith eyes.”

1. Lord Tyrannus was a Sith. There's no argument. He received his name. If you officially receive your name as a Dark Lord, you are Sith. 2. He has Sith eyes throughout TCW.

He’s just a politician playing the war like a game of chess

Dooku wasn’t a bad guy, nor was he broken. He just had beliefs that the Republic was corrupt, and he was right

Dooku was a good man that happened to come too soon . The Jedi order was not yet ready to listen,to humble itself ,and ultimately this spelled the fall of dooku. He would have never fallen if he was listened and understood and probably he would have saved the galaxy in that case . A sad story

He left for a good reason, and he was right in the end. But he got corrupted by the dark side’s power. Though he rarely fully tapped into it.

Same could be said for Darth Vader. All he wanted was to control the outcomes of everything.

Of all Sith in Star Wars canon, I feel like Dooku had the most justified intentions of them all

He’s more of a fallen Jedi/ Dark Jedi if you ask me. Definitely not a typical Sith dogmatic in his understanding of the force

For a character randomly slotted into the cast for attack of the clones, this guy got some crazy development as the years went on. Dooku is one of my personal favorite siths

I always thought it would be cool to have a storyline about a good sith to make it so it’s not just good and evil but more how they get and use the light as dark side

You can make an argument that any Sith we see on screen aren't true Sith, but they still are.

Reminder to the people saying dooku wasn't a bad person: if he survived into the age of the empire he wanted to genocide all non-human species.

If Count Dooku was a real sith then everybody should have called him with his sith name but nope both side light and sith called him dooku that shows he is not original sith he pretended to be sith because dooku was able to control his emotions that's why he never fall to the dark side he used sith as a shield to hide his plans and himself

"The walk to hell is paved with good Intentions."

So Dooku is basically a Grey Jedi.

I believe dooku was following one of the most literally interpretation’s of the road to hell was paved with good intentions

He had his own agenda

The road to Sith Hell is paved with good intentions.

He was like Thanos, only did the bad things to gain good things.

Dooku was one of few truly good characters

Yes he didn't act like a sith lord because he had exterior goals, but he did hold the title, he was officially a real sith lord.

He was a revolutionary Sith Lord.

Ironic that he left the Jedi because they cared too much about politics, but he joined the sith and he started Caring too much about politics

He’s a fallen Jedi

Count Dooku may be the only sith who wasn't evil

Count Dooku was someone who embraced the dark side of the force but simply didn't let it consume him

He may be bad guy, but he is not bad *guy*

One of the few things I didn't like about the Clone Wars cartoon was how Dooku was portrayed. Based solely off his screen time in AotC, the guy really didn't seem all that evil. More indifferent. He certainly wasn't a proper Sith. He just wanted reform. I mean, he literally told Obi Wan what was going on. Why do that? It certainly doesn't seem like part of Sidious' grand plan. More like he wasn't entirely sure about Sidious either and was trying a third route. I can't help but wonder how things would have gone down if Obi Wan had listened to him instead of just dismissing him. I'd love Marvel to do a Star Wars: What if...? story around that.

his force power is really strong. a great duelist but not as great as Obi Wan, who never lost a saber duel. had to take out obi wan with force power. this is why obi wan was wise to do a 2 on 1 teaming with Anakin.

He's one of my favorite characters. Dooku didn't hate the Jedi but the Republic. It would have been better for Dooku to just be a Dark Jedi and not affiliate himself with the Sith at all. He would have accomplished more had he not joined with Sidious.

He is quite similar to saruman as he only joined sauron as he saw it as the only way to defeat him

Same reason sheev didn't have sith eyes while in office they hide it

Leaves the Jedi for being too political, proceeds to become a politician, Sith logic.

From what I heard (it's maybe from this channel, idk), Dooku's final goal was to build a better galaxy with Sidious with Anakin at the lead of the empire's army.

Dooku - doesn't like the Jedi getting involved in politics - follows a sith master whose goal is to become the the ONLY politician in the galaxy

When I watched the Clone Wars as a kid, I always supported the Confederacy, every episode I waited for CIS to win and every time I was sad when they lost. And so it has been for 6 seasons.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Dooku was not a decent man. Not even close...

I believe Dooku is the perfect example of a Sith he had a benevolent belief to end the actual corrupt Republic but he chose the quick and easy solution or so it was at first, but over time he had to gradually sacrifice his beliefs to maintain the power he got, he probably told him self early on I’m doing this for the people over and over again until one day he stops, he has now become accustomed to the power he has and now the people will be protected and the corrupt Republic will fall but only if he is ruling and any sacrifice is worth it as the ends justify the means. Though he fears Sidious he constantly plots to overthrow him so no one is stronger than him so no one can harm his new empire. I believe this is what Dooku gradually came to believe and his younger self would be horrified of the man he will become

Dooku didn't have sith eyes other than the times he had sith eyes.

Why they make Dooku look like Morn from DS9 on that cartoon?😅😂

The road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

Oh he is he's just not evil

Ends justifying the means is absolutely a traditional Sith aspect. Countless sith became Sith because of "good" intentions

He had sith eyes in the clones wars

I'm curious what Dooku would have done if he learned of Maul.

He also never deformed because the rate of deformity for sith is dependent on their use of the dark side. Sidious engrossed himself within the dark side and how he looks at the end of return of the sith was his true face all along. Dooku preferred lightsaber combat to the force and thus rarely if ever relied on the dark side.

Best character in SW hands down disagree all you want

He was actually the smart one out of Maul, him, and Sidious. Sidious was too obsessed with power and control while Maul was too controlled by his anger from how he was raised and trained. Dooku was able to control his own emotions and become like an almost sith version of Qui-Gon. He showed a lot pf strength if you really think about it and realize that he joined Sidous for years and nvr became a full sith while Anakin did within days of betraying Mace as shown by his eyes on Mustafar after he kills the separatist leaders.

It’s why I think Dooku was more of a Tragic Villain than a normal bad guy. He actually had reasons to stop the Republic, it’s just that like everyone in the Clone Wars, they were puppets so that a Dark Space Wizard could become the king of space.

Dooku as emperor would have made for a much safer galaxy

I think Dooku has potential to become President of the Republic. Why he not joining the Republic instead of Sith when he leaves Jedi Order? 🤔🤔

I feel like unlike most sith who draw from anger fear and hatred Dooku drew from pride. In the end in consumed him entirely sadly.

Dooku was the biggest chad imo

The Jedi had child soldiers. Ahsoka was only 14 and made her a commander in the clone wars. I really hate the way nobody in universe explicitly says how the Jedi are corrupt, instead they just dance around it making it seem like they're overreacting

-leaves jedi order because they became to political -becomes a politician

Count was only using the dark side

Dooku was an antivillain

What show/episode was that Ahsoka clip from? She looked very different there.

Plus, Dooku never got the Sith eyes meaning he never truly immersed himself in the Dark side. He just used a little bit of force lightning here and there 😂

Dooku apologist has entered the chat

6:36 “¿Homo Estás?”🤣🤣🤣

Also dooku genuinely cared of obi wan, in the novelization of ep3 sidious asked him to kill obi wan before the duel, but he never went to kill and I guess that enraged palpatine.

That and he’s a dark jedi
