If you were Dooku how would you have reacted in this position to avoid having your head lopped off? Bear in mind you had plenty of time.

I stopped watching during s4. I know this character came in and killed the asiatic and maybe some other characters. Did they pussify him after that?
The scissor motion is so fast it would sever his head almost instantly after he made a motion to lean backward.
anakin was still making up his mind doe so he would hesitate
as Dooku, I'd probably be too busy monologuing to think of a plan. but if I had to react
Stare dumbfounded before coming to acceptance that Anakin would surpass me and then silently await death.
PALPITINES BEHIND IT ALL!
He didn't know that Darth Sidious was Palpatine
Wat?
The entire reason sidious killed him off was because he was the only one that knew who sidious was.
Well, it was that and because he saw Dooku as old and busted and wanted to trade him in for Anakin. Dooku likely genuinely wasn’t expecting the betrayal at that moment, which is why he was so shocked into silence. You can see it in his face right before he gets decapitated that he knows he’s fricked. Also, he was probably in immense pain from getting both his hands cut off too.
Sifo-Diyas was likely manipulated by Sidious into commissioning the army. He was killed by Sidious after the fact to keep his connection to the whole affair hush-hush.
I have a question
If Sifo-Dyas commisioned the army, how can there be something like order 66 in the programming of the clones? He would have had to agree to that right? But he's a Jedi, he wouldn't have wanted that to be a feature
Sidious ordered the Kaminoeans to put the kill order in there after the fact.
Why did the Kaminoeans listen to him if he wasn't the one who commissioned the army? Why didn't they mention Sidious to Obi-Wan, if they told him about Sifo-Dyas?
he offered them money so they shut up
they don't really have to follow anything because they're so remote and Corporate Sector advanced in terms of tech.
it felt stupidly retconned
Kaminoians were a remote isolated small community on some God forsaken ocean planet
they probably didnt give a flying frick as long as they were paid
the Clone Wars shit how the clone troopers akshually had a chip in their brain and werent just soldiers following order, and the Kaminoians trying to cover it up was lame and stupid
They were sitting on a frickton of clones and nobody to take them of their hands. Of course they told him whatever they thought he needed to hear to accept the army.
But yeah, it was obviously lazy writing to pull a giant clone army out of a hat because George Lucas needed to have Clone Wars and forgot to set it up earlier.
Its not so suspicous when you take a look at all the other orders the clones had implanted in them. Order 65 had the clones removing the chancellour by force if he was voted unfit to lead by the senate but tried to maintain power.
But who had the authority to issue these orders? Wouldn't a chancellor have to issue order 65?
In that case it was a senate supermajority or the top military council.
The orders can come for different people depending on what it is. For exmaple 65 could only be issued a senate with majority vote. 66 could only be personally ordered by the chancellor, I guess as added security against possible abuse. Though that doesnt work so well when the chancellor himself is the enemy.
Why didn't Obi-wan know who Sifo-dyas was? He was on the jedi council around 10 year pre AOTC. Obi-wan would definitely been an adult then. Why would a jedi not know whose on the high council?
can you name your country's entire cabinet? dummy
he knew who Sifo-Dyas was, thats why he is confused when the Kaminonians tell him Dyas ordered the clone army ten years ago because he was aware Dyas was already dead ten years ago
>he saw Dooku as old and busted and wanted to trade him in for Anakin
Looking back it's no surprise that prequelgays are all homosexuals posting pictures of Hayden Christensen.
Sifo was killed by Dooku and then Dooku ordered the clone army under the name of Dyas. It was official in a novel or comic but also in the movie its a dead giveaway when Jango Fett tells Obi-Wan he never heard of any Sifo Dyas since the man who ordered the clone army was a Lord Tyrannus and Dooku’s sith name is Darth Tyrannus
lol, he dead on tells Obi-Wan Sidious is controlling the Senate and the same day Palpatine gets elected supreme chancellor, get a clue moron
it was more of the Sith constantly backstabbing each other because of the moronic rule of two, Sidious wanted Anakin as his new apprentice, same when he wanted Luke and his plan was having Luke killing Vader and doing it succumbing to the dark side, hell lot of EU shit at the time centered around Dooku keep telling Ventress they will kill Sidious so Ventress can become a Sith and Vader plotting to kill Sidious alongside Starkiller
They would not believe him.
why didn't he just force push him like he did gandalf
>ITTY BITTY BABY
>ITTY BITTY BOAT
I don't believe it!
HABEEB IT
To see such a great actor and such a hyped character just go RUH ROH and die in the first ten minutes was dumb as frick.
Lucas paving the way for Rian Johnson's subverted expectations bullshit
he should have filled grievous' role throughout the film. I bet he did in early drafts then george realised he could add an extra action figure
Dooku, Grievous, and Maul should have all been a single character that acted as a reflection of what Anakin would become as Vader, and it would have been nice to have a singular terrifying threat throughout the prequels until Sheev reveals himself as the big bad.
>skilled but wienery and inexperienced apprentice gets cut in half for his arrogance
>comes back with cybernetics, a more careful fighting style, and a greater use of the force and mind games, spends more time politicizing and manipulating than fighting due to his wounds
>gets wounded so much during the clone wars or end of aotc that he goes full droid body which makes him far deadlier than before
You fricking suck dude. This is an awful idea.
No u. Why is it awful?
>awful idea
It was clearly Lucas' intention. He was just too bad at writing to consolidate them all into one character like anon recommends.
oof
General Grievous aka Hacky McCoughenstein is an allegory for Osama bin Laden. While the Republic/America fights in the Clone Wars/Iraq they are distracted by Grievous/Osama hiding in a desert-cave. Meanwhile Sheev/Bush erodes the nation's civil liberties via emergency powers/the Patriot Act.
Attack of the Clones was Dooku’s movie.
This film is about Palpy and Vader.
The fact that dooku or Palpatine wasn't behind the creation of the clone army and it was just some random guy is do strange to me.
Wasn't Sifo-Dyas supossed to be a play on Sidious
No it's just some random jedi.
Yeah I wish they’d have saved his death for halfway through the film and made it the official turning point for Anakin, Mace Windu getting his arm cut off honestly didn’t seem like as big of a betrayal to me.
You have to understand that Dooku's only purpose was so Lucas could have Count Dracula in his movie.
>Count Dookula is a little on the nose, George.
>Count Dooku, then.
>Brilliant.
that makes sense. it's stupid, but it makes sense.
The point was to pick up where the last one left off, proving Anakin has grown a lot as a fighter. Dooku wasn't the point of the 3rd movie you mong.
tuck my head into my shirt like a turtle and open one button and continue to fight
Don't dew it!
>Wait! This wasn't meant to be the revenge of the sith! The attack of the clones was just a distraction to stop you uncovering the phantom menace that was keeping you from finding a new hope!
Then I punch him in the nuts.
invest in staryards that does recycling.
What if count dooku was simply aborted?
I'd just taunt Anakin, probably nothing I could do so I'd say "your mother enjoyed her sandpeople dicking" and smile as he killed me in rage
Non meme answer, do a force backflip then do a runner.
Trying any words is futile since palps will just argue against it.
"Palpatine is a Sith"
Serious question: if Anakin got cured of his oneitis, what would’ve been the endgame of Sidious?
Yoda should've just sent him a Manosphere playlist and some prostitutes
>name is pronounced "dookoo" but can't spell it that way because it looks like "doodoo"
>count dookoo
>sounds like moronic count dracula
>literally looks like count chocula
>we have the guy who had the gimmick of Count Dracula
>lets give him a gimmick called Count Dooku
who booked this shit
Why didn’t they ever call him Darth Tyranus?
Felt like they should have stopped calling him Dooku after his reveal as a Sith in AOTC.
Jedi chuds were deadnaming him.
They all knew him as Dooku except palpy.
Obiwan didn’t just start calling Anakin by the name Vader until way later.
I call him count dooky/I because he sounds like and smells like poop lol ahahahaha and it means poop in another language so ahahahahahaha lolol XD
Wtf hahahaaha pkg I’m crying irl right now absolutely based post omg I can’t breathe hahahahah
Hahahaahah see anon? Also I’m playing battlefront 2, the good one on the ps2 hahahaah I’m gonna rekt some nooobs online
God bless you anon give em hell lmao
Am winning. We’re going MLG on those clankas
Also is it ever explained what he is a count of? It’s weird in general that you have count as a title on Star Wars anyway. I think agree when people said Lucas just wanted to reference Count Dracula.
Count of the planet Serenno. He had a comfy castle.
lore wise, he was taken as a baby away from his by the way noble family
when he left the Order he went back to his home planet and claimed his family’s heritage, became a count and started a political career
that’s why in the beginning of AotC Mundi and Windu say Dooku is a politician, who once used to be a jedi
Jango and Sidious called him Tyrannus
Grievous called him Dooku because he was a well known politician before becoming a Sith lord
Im pretty sure the Jedi didnt know his Sith name, they always called Sidious a Sith lord or THE Sith Lord(trademarked) too
Yoda called him Sidious
In Brazil Dooku was renamed because the name was similar to "Dou o cu", which means pretty much "I willingly get fricked in the ass".
>implying your average star wars fan doesn't love getting fricked in the ass
>Help, help! Palpatine is Darth Sidious! Yes, Palpatine, my main enemy in the clone wars, is a dark lord! Sidious did it! He's been dead for centuries, but he's back and he killed Sifo-Dyas! Don't ask how, no one ask how! There were no witnesses, please do not look for any! The other jedi in the council were clouded with the dark side! Don't bother using your force, Anakin, I believe it's all clouded too. I am so upset right now. Has anyone seen Grievous? When do I get my council seat?
>reveal who the sith lord is
Palpatine kills everyone in the room easily.
>try to move
Anakin senses it with the force and kills you
>beg for your life
Actually has a decent shot of working. Killing an enemy combatant who's just standing there not saying anything is a lot easier than killing one that's begging for their life and clearly surrendering.
But that's not how it works. A good sith wants to die and convert the person who killed them. Could Dooku get out of this pickle? Probably. Will he? No, Palpatine wants him to die and he's not going to disobey.
Dooku literally told the truth about everything that was going on
>lol Obi-Wan, the Sith Lord literally pulling the Senate on strings
>nah dont believe u
despite being usually wise, Obi-Wan was peak Jedi here, stubborn ignorance when you are faced with the truth you were played like a fiddle
>Join me Obi Wan and together we can destroy the Sith
Was this just a trick or did he actually want to destroy the Sith?
Trick. It's the same as the scene with Darth Vader and Luke in ESB and shows how rule of two works: the sith constantly trying to gang up on their master and take power. Dooku was a Sith Lord, he was corrupt, and he wanted power for himself.
>“His [Vader’s] motives at this point are purely evil. He simply wants to continue on what he was doing before, which is to get rid of the Emperor, make himself Emperor. He only sees his son as a mechanism to further that ambition. This is mad lust for power.” — George Lucas, Empire Strikes Back Audio Commentary
Is the original trilogy worth watching with the audio commentary?
It’s definitely worth watching with the Audio track of your rape, that’s for sure.
All the movies are worth watching with the audio-commentary. It will give you a better understanding of Star Wars and what George was going for, and you won't end up being a moron spewing out some nonsensical headcanon or some wookieepedia autism eu fanfiction, like the majority of Cinemaphile posters. Also, check out "The Making of..." books to get even more insight.
>He only sees his son as a mechanism to further that ambition.
Possible moronation on George's part. Or more retconning since it SEEMS like Vader's perceptive on things should have shifted when he knew the love of his life and his child was alive.
Rule of two. The Sith constantly backstab each other. Dooku’s apprentice Qui-Gon was dead, but there is a good chance he saw Qui-Gon in Obi-Wan. Script isnt this deep, but lore wise it could be an actual attempt on Dooku’s side
ok my bad, this
is better explained
He was serious. Dooku was never really into the Sith ideology, he legitimately wanted to improve the galaxy. That is, for him power was just a means to an end, while for Palpatine it was the end in itself.
Why they spin so much?
To win.
Is this the exact same choreo as in the film? Because it looks much better without the moronic closeups.
It was the original planned choreography made by the stunt team. Then during the day of the shooting, George Lucas decided to throw it out and change it.
The original plan was to CGI Palpatine's face on a stunt member like they did for Episode 2. But then George Lucas showed up, changed his mind, and made Palpatine's actor (who was in his 50s) learn new choreography with 15 minutes of Practice. Lucas thought that the CGI wasn't good enough and wanted the real actors to learn to do it themselves.
>made Palpatine's actor (who was in his 50s) learn new choreography with 15 minutes of Practice
Isn't this... based? He's paying these actors a lot of money. He should make them work hard for their salary
>Lucas thought that the CGI wasn't good enough
ah, classic george lucas.
>somehow, Palpatine did it
Apparently, according to Disney-Wars, if you’re strong enough with the Force, you can just block lightsabers with your bare hands.
it's not that far of a stretch
the space wizards can already stop and throw things with a lot more mass than a lightsaber blade
It was fine when Vader did it, he's Vader, but they're having everyone do it now. Almost as bad as having literal infants moving things with their minds with zero training
They do that in legends sometimes too. Its not blocking with your flesh though its using the force to stop it right before it hits your hand.
“He’s israeli!”
How come Dooku barely reacted to getting his hands cut off? He looked mildly annoyed
