[@TopOpp223]

Dooku's eyes in this scene alone tell their entire story. His eyes focused in, genuine when he says "Qui Gon always spoke very highly of you". Then the way Dooku looks down to the ground when he says "I could use his help right now", eyes glossy and filled with sadness. It truly was a cry for help. The look of disappointment as he walks away, saddened that Obi Wan was not yet ready to share that moment with him. Obi Wan was simply too young, too immature to understand. Obi Wan will later have to endure a similar grief. Having to walk away from Anakin on Mustafar and again in the Kenobi show, only then would he have had time to reflect on all of his experiences. Qui Gon changed history.

[@zeppelincraft1443]

It's mind-blowing the words, "I could use his help right now" did not mean he wanted him to join the seperatists but actually meant he wanted to be saved from this situation and the clutches of Palpatine.

[@stephencollins9062]

Kenobi show sucks deaddogsballs and is an abomination to anyone with any basic morality.

[@doomermurks6959]

Qui-Gon never fell to the dark side, so the experiences differ. Dooku left because of the rampant corruption of the Republic and the lack of action and neglect the Jedi took to combat it. He saw the Jedi as blind fools, thus why he left in the first place. Obi-Wan made the decision to leave Anikan. He practically gave up on him thinking he couldn’t be saved. The one thing that definitely brings them together was that they felt they lost someone important to them. Both lost Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan lost Anikan.

[@kalskirata953]

This is not true. Dooku by no means wanted out of his situation. He truly believed in his cause, he just put his confidence in Palpatine, just as the Republic did, and got swindled. Truth be told, Dooku was right about the Jedi and the corrupt Republic.

When she left the order, that was one of the big wedges between Anakin and the rest of the order. Things grew from there@@grienardus12

I always loved the CW episode where Dooku, Obi-Wan & Anakin are held hostage by the pirates I appreciated the respect they both have when talking to each other that I think stems from their mutual appreciation of Qui-Gon Jinn

[@reddragon_2002]

I liked that Obi-Wan managed to catch Dooku as he was falling.

[@Conrad1013]

Dooku deserves his own show, his life was very interesting

[@MrKing_MC]

Dooku is that one kind of anti hero that everybody loves and respects.

[@happiestaku6646]

Honestly, with the way Dooku is with Obi Wan here, makes me think that part of him did not want it to be that way and honestly still wished to help the Jedi defeat The Sith, he just wanted to forge his own path

[@henryfuentes3425]

Dooku probably had a plan to over throw palatine in the end. But you know anikin got a head of that plan

[@Grubnar]

At that moment in time, Dooku had turned his back on the Jedi Order, because he believed it to be corrupt ... and he was right! But he had not yet come to understand just how much worse Palpatine would turn out to be. It is like that old saying, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

[@user-zl3og4pi2l]

Rest in Peace, Sir Christopher Lee

[@pauljordan2361]

It's that look he gave him as he walked away , spoke the truth 😊

[@SauceyFredo]

Qui-gon actually presented the greatest threat to palpitine, even more so then yoda, since he was especially adept with force prophecies and energy he already sensed the disturbances on the force as early as his time with Dooku. He also had a better understanding of the force than the Jedi Council did (which obviously became a bastardization of what they once were) He was on to Sidious and he wanted to save Anakin from his destiny but couldn’t

[@Theredmeep852]

Honestly Dooku saying "I could use his help right now" sounds more like a plee for help to get out of the darkness he's in rather than wanting to convince him to join the dark side. (Edit: Jesus I was not expecting this comment to blow up 0,0 1.5k likes thanks 😅)

[@investlikeawarrior]

Well said

[@Theredmeep852]

@@investlikeawarrior thanks lol, idk just the way he says it and doesn't respond to Obi-Wan, just looks at him with sadness, quietly sighs, then turns around and walks out slowly.

Yeah I’ve allways seen it as him saying he just wants his friend back for spiritual council

100% he asks for help, not assistance in evil or a partner in crime, help from his young innocent student.

[@chimera6485]

Agreed

[@stonespicher2207]

I love how Christopher Lee’s feeling towards the loss of his padwan fits so well with the feeling of the Tales of the Jedi series even though they were years apart and out of order.

[@CDNBreadDogs]

The line "I could use his help right now" has a whole new meaning when you realize he wasn't talking about Qui Gon being the one to change heart

[@ambuknight]

I knew this scene was DEEP even when I was young I had always Saw Dooku as a man who was doing what he thought was right even knowing he was a villian... And the tales of the Jedi really supported this idea for me.

Christopher Lee wasn't just great as Dooku, he was great as just about anything he was cast in. A master of his craft and he is sorely missed.

Imagine Dooku seeking out Maul to kill him for what he did to Qui Gon 😱

[@starmovies5523]

Idk man Maul lost to Obi wan While Dooku could hold his own against Obi wan AND Anakin

[@johncampbell9107]

He lost to obi wan only because of his arrogance. He was playing with his food and got caught off guard. If he remained serious obi wan would be dead along with qui gon.

[@matthewchitcarof5692]

dooku no diff lol@@F3aT1aL3

[@bradleygarrett4580]

Dooku is such an interesting character. There is so much more grey area to him than just light vs dark.

[@KingOmegaZyro]

As I grew older I didn't see Dooku as a villain, but just a man that genuinely wanted change in the Galaxy for the better. His means may have been extreme, but the guy still cared.

[@kalskirata953]

Exactly what he was. Dooku was an honest pragmatist who saw through the corruption of the Jedi and the Republic.

[@BEZIMMIENY96]

Changing the galaxy for the better by leading separatist alliance that randomly burned colonies, used assassins, forced planets to join their force, used slavery. Much better than the republic indeed.

[@BEZIMMIENY96]

​@@kalskirata953Would be also nice if he has seen his own corruption and corruption of the CIS he was leading

[@jaylonsmith7591]

When he Dooku said, "I could use his help right now." He meant mentally help him not as an ally to the sith or the Dark Side.

[@Suicidal_Soy_Sauce]

You're right, but I think Obi-Won misinterpreted Dooku's meaning when he said he could use Qui-Gon's help as them joining together because Obi-Won believed Dooku was the Sith Lord the Jedi had been searching for, not knowing there was another in Sidious. That's because Sidious was using Force Clouding to hide himself from the Jedi.

[@demonicspecter7039]

I agree! I think it was a call for help because he was in internal conflict. Not because he wanted him to join the dark side.

[@offworlder1]

It was, Dooku was still not fully embraced with the dark side in AOTC, he was still conflicted and he really did mean he could use help to come back from the dark side. Obi-Wan just did not understand and since they never met before he did not know light side good Dooku making it impossible for Obi-Wan to be that life line.

[@rhys5958]

That side eye spoke a thousand words

[@jakemeredith278]

Dooku is a great example of a high quality person with high care factor that was used, abused and punished over and over by a toxic leadership system. The Jedi council truly failed this great man who cared so much.

[@skankhuntdave7232]

Out of all the shows and movies I’ve ever seen, there has never been anything on tv that gives me as much emotions as Star Wars does. Star Wars really makes you search for the beauty of life in the story. Everywhere and everyone is touched by darkness and heartbreak.

[@abelvalente1425]

Legendary gentleman and legendary actor. May he rest in peace.

[@ankitbhardwaj6640]

He knew Jin would never join him. He needed jins advice. Obi wan didn't know he meant that.

Sheesh the actor never make an scene with Liam nesson in this movies but he can show the most deepest sadness when his character remembers his old friend Truly a Masterpiece of acting

[@Natedog-gx3nj]

"I could use his help right now" 😢

[@Matt_JJz]

The dark side itself not only corrupts and shifts those who embrace it, but everyone who embraces the light. They become so terrified of the dark side, even when someone who embraced it; even a little is pushed away when they are begging for help. Dooku was trapped and needed Obi-Wans help, as he saw Qui-Gon within him, but the dark side blinded Obi-Wan into not helping Dooku, further holding its grasp over him.

[@themr_wilson]

"I could use his help" Palpatine sensed Dooku's apprehension and allowed him to be killed

[@ianjones6018]

Goddamn dude Christopher Lee was such a damn good actor you can see how much sorrow he feels when thinking about Qui-gon

[@_mostpalone]

When Obi Wan says “Qui Gon Jin would never join you”, the look Dooku gives him back says “I know” imo

[@jnmusic9969]

Such amazing acting, you can really hear the sadness in his voice, especially when he takes a deep breath before saying “I could really use his help now.”

[@hewhoplugwalks]

'I wish he were still alive. I could use his help right now..' Goddamn, Lee's delivery is nothing short of amazing. He genuinely sells the pain of a father who lost his son.

Dooku's eyes at the end there were like..."I need him here to bring me back to the good side".

[@offworlder1]

Qui-Gon’a death was the key to dark side victory in the PT: 1. Anakin did not have the right master and goes dark side 2. Dooku is now willing to embrace the dark side being angry about Qui-Gon’s death and ignoring the man’s warnings 3. Palpatine is able to play both sides of TCW without any real opposition 4. The jedi are easily blinded by the dark side and become more arrogant

[@SH1N0B1W4N]

That look Dooku gave Obi-Wan at the end said everything, Qui-gon may not have joined him in the dark but he could have helped Dooku return to the light.

[@davidtucker9498]

I always viewed this scene as Dooku tugging at Obi-wan's emotions to try and get him to join Dooku, but ultimately insincere, but now it feels like Dooku felt genuinely lost and wished for Qui-gon's guidance...

[@RaulMunoz-ou2vw]

He wasnt looking for Qui-gon to join, more like he needed him to talk sense into him. Everyone holds that one person in thier hearts who's "thier voice of reason" for Dooku, it was most likely his apprentice. Star Wars is really heavy on the student-master dynamics i love it.

[@Gobblin_Goblin]

God it’s video mashups like these that really show how well the new show feeds into established lore making the classic that much more powerful.

[@wednesdaygeckok.7899]

Dooku was like a grey sith. He hated the jedi ways but not life and the galaxy. He only joined the emperor because he believed that was the only way to create the galaxy he wanted. Its just a damn shame we had to wait as long as we did to actually get any of that.

[@nigel9298]

Well he didn’t know he was joining the emperor, only working with Darth sidious to topple the republic who never revealed himself

[@xDEEZxNUTS69]

Reminds of another video showing Obi-wan from A New Hope remembering Anakin in the prequels. Both Christopher Lee and Alec Guinness were phenomenal actors, capable of breathing so much life into characters with just there expressions and tones.

[@Sleeper_Solutions]

Now it makes me feel so arrogant thinking back watching this scene as a kid that he wanted Qui-Gon to join him. But actually to give him a way back to the light. And Christopher Lee is such a brilliant actor that without even knowing what the context was you can see that emotion. Absolutely incredible.

[@MichaelMedici61W2]

That just hit me in my nerd feels like “You already have, Luke….”

[@Starchie28]

I don’t think Dooku meant he wanted Qui-Gon’s help to expand Palpatine’s cause. I think that was a glimpse of the man Dooku used to be taking a brief second to mourn the loss of a true friend. He feels lost without Qui-Gon, and part of him is ashamed he never became a part of his dynamic with Obi-Wan 😔
