Dooku: *Holds back against Anakin*
Dooku: All according to plan
Dooku: *Gets overpowered by Anakin*
Dooku: All according to plan
Dooku: *Gets his arms cut off by Anakin*
Dooku: HOLY F*CKING HELL THAT all according to plan.
Sidious: Good Anakin! Good! Kill him!
Dooku: Wait a damn minute THIS WAS NOT PART OF THE PLAN

The betrayal was written all over Tyranus's face!

[aamirrazak]

To quote the awesome revenge of the Sith novelization, “Treachery is the way of the Sith”. Dooku learned that the hard way

[Skarbro]

“He who controls Skywalker, controls everything.” 😎

I never understood why Dooku's last words weren't

[biljancanin]

Christopher Lee did such a freat job portraying Dooku. Class Actor

[cleavland]

Honestly, Dooku has a solid complaint with the Empire's H.R. Dept.

[Ben]

So…Palpatine lied to his apprentice?…I hope he doesn’t do that to Anakin. (Looks at the camera)

[chadcat]

Dooku shouldn't be surprised. Betrayal is the way of the sith. They've been doing it for tens of thousands of years lol

"Do you understand that the Sith practice the rule of two?"

*dooku peers over with his spectacles and nods*

"Then do you understand that by adding Anakin you subtracted yourself?"

[mowtow]

It was the moment when Dooku finally realised what was the plan all alone. He was the patsy, the scapegoat for the war. To be used and then tossed aside. Dooku was one of the smartest people around but he never figured it out. He never understood that "been captured and then re-emerge to join Sidious in the new order" - its a pipe dream. He was the main villain of the war, no-one would accept him back as "redeamed". That was something that even Palpatine could not swing off.

First (and maybe only) rule of the Sith: there's always two, a master and an apprentice.
Sidious: so we turn Anakin and then we rule the galaxy together.
Dooku: Sounds super fun, all 3 of us together right?
Sidious: sure.

[darthmaul]

That’s actually so sad that Dooku tried to convince palpatine to change his plans because he didn’t want to kill Obi Wan. He probably saw a lot of Qui Gon in Obi Wan and saw it as practically killing his own apprentice. Remember he even tried to negotiate something similar with Obi Wan the first time they met on Geonosis

[masterofdisguise]

Honestly, I like that he doesn't say anything. He's in shock, he just got his arms cut off.

[mystblox]

Dooku a real one for not snitching on Palpatine

[whengrapespop]

Quite cool that Christopher Lee has been a part of some of the biggest franchises in cinema history. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and even James Bond.

[ChrisVillagomez]

Not only did he not foresee Palpatine's plan, but when he looked up at Anakin before being beheaded, the Episode 3 Novelization says that Dooku finally understood Palpatine's true plan and allowed Anakin to kill him knowing that Palpatine and the Sith would win, and he was almost at peace with it

[purplewolfranger]

Dooku: "Hey guys, Palpatine is the sith lord and he's restrained. Should probably take care of that."

[thenovicewhispers]

He knows the rule of two. He knows sith history and lore. HE IS A SITH. He should have seen it coming as soon as Palpatine suggested keeping Anakin alive.

I love how this ties in with the scene in ROTJ. Palpatine tempts Luke just like Anakin, but the Anakin in Vader stops him. He soon realizes Luke is right, he is still a Jedi.
