[chrilpy]

Thinks the Jedi are becoming corrupt politicians
*leaves to become a corrupt politician*

[Trollge]

Shows how much of an great politician Dooku is. He even fooled the entire fan base even as an fictional character

[overlordelektro]

The worst part was that Yoda didnt Care when he found out that Anakin killed him as he believed that Dooku died a long time ago.

[rrensdenn]

Anyone think qui-gon kept obi-wan away from dooku when he was young because he saw through his masters mask, but still held out like a man blocking his dad from meeting his son to protect them

[thepoliticalgunnut]

"Suffer not the Xeno to live."

-High Marshall Dooku of the Black templars

[jakemerchant]

So, Dooku's ideal galaxy would basically be 40K's Imperium of Man.

[EricGraham]

Given that Lorian Nod threw Dooku under the bus for stealing a holocron… it almost parallels Barriss Offee throwing Ahsoka under the bus for bombing the Jedi Temple.

[seantaylor]

Considering Princess Leia was also an aristocrat, I like to imagine that Darth Tyrannus once called someone a "foul-mouthed, scruffy-looking nerf herder." Only he would have said it with calm contempt and killed that "person" (air quotes from his perspective) immediately afterwards.

[Rex-Republic]

Me: *Opens yt for the first after work, first thing I see* "Space Hitler"
Also me: Where the hell am I?!

[mikaelm]

I always liked how Dooku believed himself immune to Corruption and the failings of emotion, but *the* event that led him to abandon the order and start down the dark path was the death of his former, and finest student.

I also think that the nature of dark side allows one to justify one's own character flaws: "I am not truly responsible for my degradation, I have not lost anything, i have always been like this, the Dark Side merely showed me who I truly am."

This is a lie. The dark side strips us of our positive traits and convinces us that that is strength,

I believe that Dooku truly did have noble qualities once. That he may have had reduced emotional affect to start, but he truly did have affection for Yoda, Qui-Gon, and others, in his own way (See Dark Rendezvous).

[defenderofthenorth]

I think there’s a difference between canon Dooku and Legends Dooku after Tales of the Jedi 😂😂

Yeah I’ve read the Revenge of the Sith novelization, Dooku is a MONSTER

[lordkonzilla]

Tyrannus did not have a superiority complex, he simply was superior

[yokai]

If you asked dooku for sympathy, he will toss the galactic dictionary at you, telling you where it is: between (quack) and (quack)

[andreykuzmin]

Great video about Signature Look of Superiority. Probably one of your best, Geetsly.

[JaelaOrdo]

Even if he wasn’t particularly sympathetic he still has maybe my favorite lightsaber in Star Wars (tied with Roblio Darté) and mastered the best lightsaber form.

[kellygreenii]

He became a Sith Lord. Enough said. But like Anakin, we see the influence of a flawed character, the influence of The Dark Side, AND the machinations of one of the most purely evil characters in fiction (Lucas said his inspiration for Palpatine was The Devil)….

…and the result is we see a basically good man with good intentions get corrupted to the point he becomes the corruption he intended to destroy.

The Abyss stated into him and found him wanting. I think it is human nature to feel some compassion for someone who set out to do good but got lost, as opposed to a monster like Palpatine who is drive by pure malice and selfishness.

[based]

Him calling Anakin and obi wan clowns and then later getting beaten by them in the ROTS Novelization was so funny.

[SpiderJack]

He may have started out sympathetic but he lost all sympathy after TPM.

[Pyre]

"Um actually he was sympathetic and the Jedi were the bad guys, because anyone like that is ALWAYS EVIL and all villains are just downtrodden and-"

The worst people are always the ones who have never suffered. He wore the name "Tyrannus" with pride.

That alone should have been most of what you needed to know.

Amazing vid.

[superblasto]

When you help kill hundreds of you former comrades in Attack Of The Clones and not bat an eye - then you're evil personified and deserve no pity & understanding.
