How Did Count Dooku Think the Clone Wars Would End?

How Did Count Dooku Think The Clone Wars Would End? At the end of the war, Dooku was of course beheaded by Anakin, bringing the end of the war one step closer. But this is certainly not how he had envisioned the war ending. Dooku had major plans for the new Sith Empire, and it was very different, and maybe worse than the Empire that ultimately manifested. Dooku wanted to reorganize the Galaxy into one that was pure, without the corruption of the senate or democracy. Instead, the Galaxy would be ruled by a human-only totalitarian Government, led by himself and Palpatine. Power and wealth would be stripped from aliens and placed in the hands of the human government. He also wanted to turn the Jedi remnant into a legion of Sith warriors known as the fist of the Empire, who Dooku believed would be led by none other than Anakin Skywalker.

Dooku after being betrayed by a Sith: "Well...That was totally unexpected..."

It's quite tragic that Dooku's horrible mentality began to unfold because his friend Lorian Nodd betrayed him when, as younglings, he framed him for stealing a Sith holocron. Interestingly, Lorian (despite becoming a criminal and fighting the Count, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan several times over the decades) ended up realizing what a fatal mistake he made and unsuccessfully tried to stop Dooku once the Clone Wars had already begun.

Dooku was just a pawn and didn't know it. You could see it on his face when palpatine said do it lol

[aamirrazak]

It’s interesting how instead of Dookus “Fist of the Empire”, the empire ended up having the 501st legion, aka “Vaders Fist” instead

I've always felt like that scene where palpatine says to anakin "we shall be watching your career with great interest", shows at that point he had decided dooku was a pawn instead of a bishop.

[rodhgaralto]

dooku wanted to destroy the jedi to refound them uncorrupted

[timmo]

“It’s not the Jedi way to kill an unarmed man” - Aniken after he has cut off Dooku’s arms. Still the funniest line in a movie ever.

In the revenge of the sith novel. Before his last duel, he was still trying to convince Palps to spare Obi-Wan as well

Claiming he can still be turned

Palpatine's reaction to Dooku's plan: "Unfortunately for you, History will not see it that way..."
Maul: "You really love to remember my existence only when it benefits you, right?"
Palpatine: 😜

If I remember correctly, I thought Dooku had better intentions behind his allegiance to Sidious. Palpatine was able to also trick Dooku into thinking that the Republic was going to be destroyed (along with its corruption) and replaced with a less corrupt form of government.

I don’t think Dooku had in mind or even wanted the Galactic Empire that Palpatine was intending, Dooku just didn’t want the Republic, rather a more pure, just form of the Republic.

To be fair, the Empire was overall still pretty racist against aliens.

[dogbackwards]

I wouldve thought Dooku's new order wouldve been much more inclusive
Considering the separatists are mostly non-human

[TommyMaverick]

When he got his head chopped off he was like "bro I was gonna give you a job"

[cesargonzalez]

Still sounds better than the Disney canon.

[richard]

Not only was Dooku beheaded, but he was behanded, too!

[gtsep_the_mapper]

he would be cancelled in starwars Twitter 🗿

[maplemoose]

that basically is what happened tho. The empire was made up almost exclusively of humans, other species were turned into slave races, and many of the surviving jedi became inquisitors, led by darth vader

*Fun fact:* Palpatine's plan to conquer the Galactic Republic is based on the plot of the 1947 comic "All-Star Comics Vol 1 37". In this story, the Injustice Society of the World tries to conquer America with a complex and brilliant plan, which consists of reinforcing the conflicts between different social groups to the point of starting a civil war. Once the situation became desperate enough, the Injustice Society would appear to cease the conflicts and bring order, winning the love of the people. Later, they would very easily accede to power in a democratic way thanks to the popularity generated by their actions, eventually managing to implement an absolutist system in America with the excuse of protecting the population from future social conflicts. It is incredible how complex and logical that this evil plan was, especially if we take into account that, at that time, comics were not yet taken very seriously.

Damn...that would've been a 🔥 trilogy

[tristanmurphy]

This would be a perfect what if episode.
