Damn. Dooku is and will forever be my favorite Sith

[ShadowDancer]

Supposedly George Lucas wanted him to beg for his life, but the actor who played him (Christopher Lee) believed he would never do that. I like the silent realization better

[GamingBeFly]

Star Wars can be summed up as “damn it anakin”

[AdvanceWarrior]

Christopher Lee did a great job expressing this. The shock on his face after all the time he's been with Palpatine.

[fosterfied]

Let’s be honest, Palpatine has such a hold on Anakin being like a father to him and Ani already hated Dooku with all his heart and soul that he wouldn’t have believed him anyways.

[inkycreations]

You can see the horror in his eyes as he realizes Palpatine’s true plan.

[CollinMcLean]

Sith always betray one another.
Dooku knew he served a snake and still let him bite him.

[aaronmurovanchik]

Dooku told Obi Wan about Darth Sidious, Dooku was going to continue the tradition of the apprentice betraying the master

[DienPhillips]

Dooku also probably didn’t know Anakin was actually gonna kill him and he thought he had more time.

[jeffsers]

I can imagine that if Dooku had said something, Anakin would have stopped a beat to hear him out. But then Obi-Wan would've gone the whole "Don't let the darkside cloud your judgment" road. This makes me feel really bad for Dooku

[MaskedImposter]

Wait, so Anakin makes a big deal about not killing defeated opponents to Windu, but when it comes to Dooku he's like yea sure let's kill this guy.

[Moonwalker]

I like doku face like damn I can't believe this evil sith that has not regard for anyone other than himself and his own goals would betray me

[urbanwarchief]

Never trust anyone who offers you power

[reallymakesyouthink]

If they had a speech bubble to match his expression it would be "ah s**t".

[michellerahe]

"I've been looking forward to this"

[stevenbari]

It was described in a novelization that Dooku was about to say something just right becore Anakin beheaded him, you can even see this in the movie. I always figured he was about to reveal Palpatines true identity

[BCCSquidward]

*Dooku internally:* "I'm about to die! I should really be exposing this liar immediately... but I might that dark side cookie if I stay quie-"
*Gets decapitated* ☠️

[youarewrong]

But he did expose palp. Just not to Anakin and the entire Jedi council ignored it.

[LTRX_]

Kinda thought it could also be a mix of being Force choked by Palpatine, but this explanation makes sense

[thewestfire]

Dudes entire life flashed before his eyes and he only made it to year 40 before Anakin interrupted his reminiscing
