Dooku is honestly my favourite out of all of sidious’s apprentice. He has the most realistic portrayal of a Jedi and Sith Lord I’ve ever seen.

Dooku is a good example of you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

[grandadmiralzaarin]

It's about time the Count got his due as a character. Maul and Vader often get more love from fans, but Dooku/Tyranus is far more complex than either of them and far more pivotal. Dooku was trained by both Yoda and Sidious, he was friends with Yaddle and Mace Windu, he trained Qui Gon Jinn, Grievous, and Ventress. He hired Jango Fett, started the Clone Army and the Confederacy, while keeping it under wraps from the Jedi.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Tales of the Jedi short series. Showed intriguing aspects of Dooku and Ahsoka.

Dooku - A Star Wars Story. Make it happen.

Count Dooku is just about the best SW has to offer.. so many layers to the man, a man I can see myself in (doing bad in the hope of it doing good), disenchanted with unfair politics, an old world regality, a strict moral code.. I love the guy and Chris Lee was the perfect real word enbodiment of Darth Tyranus

[matrixyst]

i love dooku, this video does a great job explaining his character and why it makes him so compelling

[jaydub]

Dooko was definitely the best part of the show. Especially episode 2 with young Qui Gon. I thought that was deep.

[Whiterin]

Dooku had a lot of potential. He was one of the most talented lightsaber users of the Jedi, and had a mastery of dark side powers second only to Palpatine, yet never once let it take control of him. He had perfectly reasonable and acceptable reasons for leaving and going against the Jedi. He was entirely right about the Jedi. His mistake was believing and trusting Palpatine.

No one could have played Count Dooku better than Sir Christopher Lee. What a Legend

[johnnyscifi]

I enjoyed the Dooku episodes the most!! Especially the last one

[TheDanggamers]

Episode 2 was my absolute fave of the bunch, he relates so much to anakin so much it was very cool to see.

[andrewaiello]

Makes you wonder what would've happened if the Count didn't fall to Dark Side.

[tadsnyder]

Dooku, mace, and anakin hold a special place in my heart any more deeper looks at them I always welcome!

Count Dooku has been one of my favourite characters in Star Wars since I was a small boy, probably the character I resonated with the most. I am simply very glad that the character is growing in popularity due to this excellent new mini series.

[BaconPraline]

I've been watching your videos for a few months and you helped cement my love for Dooku

[tristankawatsuma]

I still have to wonder when he made the jump from betraying his friends and former comrades to creating two armies, one to cause chaos and havoc across the galaxy and another to wipe out every Jedi and be used as a force of subjugation and possibly brutality. Then again, the fact he kept being allies with a guy partially responsible for the death of his Padawan not to mention the fact he actually paid the Pyke Syndicate to murder his best friend to gain control of the cloning project.

I can see Count Dooku being a lot like Megatron of the IDW 2005 Continuity. Both fought back against a government full of corruption, but both took a damn dark path. Though one difference would be how the Cybertronian Senate quickly enacted diabolical schemes to stop the Decepticons while the Republic Senate went a one year debate over whether to raise an army or not. Though it probably should be recognized that both Dooku and Megatron viewed becoming emperors to save the galaxy.

I have to question though if Dooku would be as bad as Megatron. Megatron became a tyrant who created a Decepticon Empire committing genocide against organics. While Dooku was anti-alien in Legends, we don’t get hints of this in Canon. I can see Dooku forcing all Jedi to convert and making planets renounce democracy and seeing it only as a tool of corruption. But beyond that, I would imagine those would be his only similarities with Palpatine. Maybe.

[Gamerafighter]

I’d really like a mini series about Dooku, if that’s possible. He’s such an underrated character.

[mitchcoleman]

Dooku is my favorite dark side character, especially because of his many layers. He cared about those around him such as Ventress so much so that he resented the idea of killing her under Sidious’s orders. Great great video!!!

[teenagestacker]

Bit by bit Dooku has been becoming my favourite star wars character
