Was Count Dooku ACTUALLY OLDER than Palpatine?

Did you know that Count Dooku is older than Palpatine? Weird right? A lot of the fandom assume that Palpatine is much older or that he ages slower because of the power of the Dark Side … but Palpatine is actually 18 years younger than Dooku! Seemingly, Dooku has way more experience than Palpatine, but the key to this relationship is that Palpatine has more experience with the DARK SIDE! Dooku learned everything he could from Master Yoda! He wanted more, he wanted to end corruption in the Republic, and to do so, he decided to walk a different path and acquire additional powers, so that he could oppose his old Master without fear of retribution! Dooku's superior age and experience allowed him to become OVERCONFIDENT … he had every intention of Destroying Darth Sidious himself; he even tried to recruit Obi-Wan, and would have gladly taken him on as his own apprentice! Although Dooku grew his powers tremendously through the Dark Side of the Force, he failed to fully understand it’s treacherous nature!!! #shorts #starwars #dooku #sidious #jedi #sith

He ages faster because of the dark side!

It wears on you.

When you think about it, Dooku was the only apprentice of palpatine who could actually look him in the eyes face-to-face

Young Dooku: *big head, mid beard*

Old Dooku: *smol head, galactic beard!*

I realized Dooku’s eyes aren’t yellow, meaning that he doesn’t fight out of hate.

Dooku shouldn't had betrayed Ventress when Palpatine told him to, he could have faked her death and continue her training in secret behind Palpatine's back. Dooku also could become closer to Mother Talzin as she was really strong so they could have a plan to take on Palpatine when the time comes although the relation with Maul would be tense as he was the former apprentice of Sidious but since Dooku didn't really care all that much about the sith and the rule of two he could've given Maul a hand. The main problem with Dooku was that he ended up blindly trusting Palpatine, which resulted in his death at the hands of Anakin.

Dooku became Blinded By The Dark Side just like many others trying to seek more power etc..

[georgecrowcroft]

Dooku was an honourable fool. He tried to do what Revan did, and use the Darkside as a tool, but instead, he let it - and Palpatine - turn him into a monster. Just as Anakin did.

Dooku is a great example of writing a character which criticises the notion of "the ends justify the means". Dooku gave everything he had to end corruption, and all it did was turn a corrupt democracy into a cold dictatorship.

I mean Christopher Lee was older than Ian

Clone wars and tales of the Jedi were so good for the separatists because in the prequels they were so shallow and there clearly weren’t “heroes on both sides” like the episode 3 crawl said, but now dooku has understandable motivations that led him to fall down a dark path and get corrupted since the only way for him to do the right thing meant he had to join sidious for the sith’s resources. From worst Star Wars character to pretty good one is a crazy glow up.

[MikeTV]

He didnt fail to understand the darkside, he didnt let himself be used by it. He used it rather as a tool then actully being fully consumed by it. Hes more like a very dark jedi then an actual sith.

[BramFagan]

Is ot juat me or does anyone else kind love Dooku

[Gamemaster]

I mean tbf, dookou was canonically the greatest swordmaster in the galaxy when he was in his prime

[Cyxap]

Dave Filoni made Dooku evil I’ve never like that version of Filoni since it doesn’t match Christopher Lee personally like in Bad Batch apparently Dooku stole every treasure and coin from his own ppl from his home planet like bru

[morganblackheart]

Dooku was foolish and didn't understand the treachery of the dark side, and that's why Kenobi refused to join him.

[andysyark]

When the end doesn't justify the means

[OdinSmilesRavensLaugh]

Dooku was heavilly underrated! My squad would be worthless without him in SWGOH 😂😂 dooku slaps

[ashtonimus]

Count Dooku is one of my favorite characters honestly

[the-orenge-head]

Have you ever heard the tragedy of darth plagus the wise?

[purplcurse]

Theres a lego book about the dark sidethat I had, and it showed both birth years of Dooku and Palpatine, and it says that Palpatine is younger.

[nuclearbomb]

Fun fact dooku wanted to make grevious force sensitive. So that he could have the power to take sidious. He tried bathing the cyborg in the blood of master sifo diyas. Sadly it didnt work and dookus plan failed
