Separatist: Tries to win
Palpatine: They can't do that. Shoot them, or something

[PixlPlayer]

That’s an interesting angle. The only real reason that the clone wars was even close was because the separatists were never supposed to win

In this episode, Allen bullies a crippled old man.

Nobody:
*Count Dooku in his final moments* “Ouch, this has gotten out of hand...”

[sashabraus]

Remember kids: don't listen to the elderly, they're secretly sith lords

[DISTurbedwaffle]

Dooku: "Hold on, I have a superior military. Why am I the one taking orders?"

[Ikcatcher]

We would probably have to watch those wrist rockets

Technically some of them did. I'm pretty sure poor Greivous actually tried to win the war. He didn't understand what Palpatine meant when he said "The end of the war is near"-he meant the Seps were gonna lose-Greivous was confused as the Seps were getting their asses kicked and Dooku was dead and Greivous thought Sidious wanted to actually help him win.

Dooku: tries to win
Palpatine: You weren’t supposed to do that...

[ryanlorenzo]

Literally everyone else in the Separatist Alliance who wasn't Dooku: You mean we WEREN'T trying to win this whole time?

It's interesting to think that one of Count Dooku's probable conditions in a peace scenario might actually be the balkanisation of the Jedi Order as the Count himself wanted to reform a new order in his liking.

I imagine Palpatine had a contingency plan for just about every scenario. Including his apprentice betraying him. I would expect that to be one of the first things he planned for.

Sheev: some mistakes were made, so how about coming back on the team Maul my boy?

[theiceking]

The thing about Count Dooku is that he wasn't really a Sith Apprentice. He was really more of a anti-hero then a Sith. Mostly because he just wanted to rebuild a better version of the Jedi Council and the Republic. Because the Republic was a corrupt government.

[topdog]

Dooku could have just exposed Palpatine as the Sith Lord after the battle and publicly revealed the whole plan to play both sides. Also Count Dooku still wouldn't have been able to take on Yoda on Geonosis by himself. Maybe he would just run after the battle before challenging Yoda. Then after exposing Palpatine he could try and join Yoda and the council to go deal with him.

[isaackim]

Imagine how different the Clone Wars could be if Dooku wasn’t tainted by the Dark side?

[sbkeel]

Now I want a "What If" novel or comic series about Dooku betraying Palpatine starting at the battle of Geonosis going forward... I think it would be amazing! Maybe even include Dooku getting a vision of Palpatine's betrayal as the reason he strikes out first.

[SammyBoy]

Dooku thought he knew Palpatine like the back of his hand. It truly left him stumped

[palpadur]

an interesting thought occurred to me near the end of this video: with all the forces at his command during the battle of Geonosis, Count Dooku was basically the Star Wars version of One Punch Man. had he decided to, he could have ended the battle right then and there.

I can't believe you just called the Neimoidians "Trandoshans", you can't do that, shoot him, or something.
