Yoda tapping into the Dark Side for just a few seconds had Dooku fully convinced that the entire Universe was in danger…

[IRBitterSoB]

5:56 I now have this mental image of Dooku saying, "Fine!" and stomping off to a florist shop, slaughtering the people inside, then walking out with an arm-full of roses.

[AFterMath-ldvr]

Dark Yoda: “Give me my..Rose!!”

Shook Dooku: “Shhhht you can have it! Say less, I got yo Rose in my pocket right now😰😨!”

[freddiebinthaplacebe]

Dooku thought he had a brilliant
Until he realized that a darkside Yoda would literally be an uncontrollable and nearly unstoppable monster I mean just imagine what dooku felt for him to instantly be in complete fear for his life

[austinbevis]

I like that yoda offered to allow dooku to come back. Dooku isn’t that bad of a guy, he was pretty much deceived. So it was nice to see that

Tyrannous is a novice Sith. Also I think that Yoda has shown many signs that he has a unique mastery over all aspects of the Force, including the dark side. That’s why he’s so well preserved against it. There’s no secrets hiding in Yoda’s soul, he know who he is in a way no one else ever has. I think that’s what defines his character above all else.

"Mmmmm. ironic, it is. The Dark Side, you say, keeps you safe. But if turn to the Dark Side, I do, then safe you will not be. Heeeheeeheeee"

[EJerk]

Dark side Yoda is the definition of fuck around and find out. 10 time more powerful than star killer with 800 years of wisdom and patience. I truly belive he would be strong enough to defeat 10 of the most power full sith at once from bane and reven to sidius. He would embrace the power and use vaepod to absolutely crush anything in his path.

[aggonzalezdc]

The saddest thing is, of course, Yoda assures him that he will be there to catch him when he falls, if only he would let him. Just a caring father, emploring a wayward son to return.

[josephnizolek]

That’s reason why Yoda and Dark Rendezvous is one my favorite clone wars novel, great scene between Yoda and Dooku

[robpolaris]

Yoda’s greatest power is his wisdom. He finds happiness in simple things. Something many could learn from.

[shkotayd]

That was kind of frightening actually.

Had Yoda turned to the dark side when Order 66 was unleashed, we would have seen what Sauron in LOTR desired to become. But not just endless master of the world, but that of the galaxy.

That he SO far exceeded even Sidious at his most powerful in the Dooku was not a man to fear generally anything either.

[darrancoyle]

Dark Yoda sounds genuinely terrifying!!

[zikbar]

Yoda: "Can the dark side give me a rose?"

Dooku: "No😭😭"

Palpatine: "Have you ever heard of the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise?"

[airaneon]

When Dooku thought it was a good idea to argue with a 900 year old dude. Multiple lifetimes, can't even fathom how many imaginary shower arguments Yoda had with himself.

[crownprincesebastianjohano]

Dark Rendezvous is perhaps the best Clone Wars era novel. Never before, or after, is Yoda or Dooku written so well and to character. No other novel really puts home how much Dooku's departure from the Jedi was a big deal, and how big of a score it was for Sidious to recruit Dooku as Yoda says "The most powerful Dooku was. The most learned, the most knowledgeable. Our greatest student, our greatest failure." It is only novel that explains clearly why Yoda broke centuries of tradition, and his own 300 year old personal rule, that the Grand Master does not take a padawan. Yoda felt he was the only one capable of training such a powerful and gifted student. It more than anything underlines the twin failures of Dooku and Anakin, because the Jedi made the same mistake TWICE with their most gifted students.

[ThoraxetheImpaile]

Dooku: Join the Dark Side, Yoda.
Yoda: Careful what you wish for, you should be.

[shawnkieper]

I choose to believe that Yoda has an intimate relationship with the dark side, therefore he chooses the light! Yoda is so powerful with the force that he easily changes from the light to the dark back to the light to prove to dooku where the true power is.

[jaggershaw]

All the people who dive into the dark side just don't ever seem happy

[Lilitha]

Yoda doesn't want power, so it doesn't seem likely he would fall to the dark side, just from channeling his passion to save his friends. A lot of force users have used their passions without turning evil and cruel and using it from a good way, to save people's life shouldn't be as dangerous as he thinks. It would be more like taking a step towards a grey jedi, than a step towards the sith.
