Are the other three episodes going to be uploaded today or on another day? I cannot tell by this video.

[@roi6075]

43:56 First of all, it's not an Ishi Tib, but an Arcona 44:20 Just no, a Twi'lek, an Aqualishan, an Arcona and a Rodian model were created, which were used twice as villagers and twice as Jedi, this is neither detailed nor appropriate for a series that named "Tales of the Jedi". There are many Jedis that you can use as background characters besides Yaddle or Ki-Adi-Mundi, instead of constantly placing new no-name Jedis with the same models (I miss the Jedi cuncil members from episode one). Using four to five models for 20+ characters is just plain lazy. Also, where was Plo Koon at the Ahsoka Arc and Sifo-Dyas at the Doku Arc? (As actual characters without just being mentioned or sitting in the background)

Episode 2 made realize that Maul killing Qui-Gon was a critical piece of Palpatine slowly ensuring that Dooku no longer had his greatest strength to stay on the correct side of the conflict. Dooku & Qui-Gon were such an important balance, and that one moment in Duel of the Fates absolutely twisted the fate of the galaxy into Palatine's grasp. I cannot wait until they see Episode 4.

[@pumpedupbricks]

Jeez, I never thought about that. Wow.

It’s crazy that Qui-Gon likely could have kept both Anakin and Dooku from falling had he lived.

[@sang1342]

The Ahsoka stuff is like comfort food. Really enjoyable but nothing seismic But bro, these Dooku shorts ain't enough. I need 10 seasons of that

[@pointystories582]

I like to think of it as a 'Breaking Bad' Dooku Show. Seeing Dooku's final thoughts in the Revenge of the Sith Novelization was very interesting. By then he categorizes people into threat or utility. If you were not useful to him, it was a longterm death sentence.

[@looming416]

Listen to the dooku Jedi lost it made dooku one of my favorite characters in all of star wars

[@matthewkalasky2891]

If there was A-N-Y complaint I'd have to say about it, it's that they didn't show Dooku meeting Sidious for the first time. What we have so far, however? PERFECTION.

[@niclaswa5408]

Could easily scrap the Ashoka episodes and replace them with more Dooku episodes if you ask me

[@mr.stuffdoer8483]

@@matthewkalasky2891yeah, I don’t think anyone would complain if we get more Dooku with season 2. I just want season 2 to be longer, there’s so much to explore. Dooku, Grievous, and Sifo-Dyas could help greatly with canon’s lore, while ones on Plo Koon or Kit Fisto could greatly develop the council members.

[@moldomre4838]

Just finished the show. I cannot WAIT to see the reaction to episode 4. What a tense episode. It's incredible how much they made the audience want Dooku to stay good despite knowing what he becomes.

[@TOXICYT2016]

Ep 4-6 so good

[@BobPantsSpongeSquare97]

I also like how Dooku is very much a foreshadowing of Anakin falling to the darkside. The jedi council literally caused two jedi to leave and join the sith and cause wars

[@reapersoul8506]

Wonder if they will drop that today or next week

[@pumpedupbricks]

*Spoilers* it gives so much information. It’s so cool to see EXACTLY when Dooku deletes the Kamino file. Him using Sifo’s code, showing he left the order right after Qui Gon’s death, the conflict between him and Sidious, and finally an explanation as to what happened to yaddle. So good.

[@elyanguerin2317]

The lighting symbolism in episode 4 is so, good

[@applefanatic414]

This series fleshed out Dooku’s turn SO well. It’s 100% understandable why he did what he did now. So happy Filoni keeps revisiting the characters that need more backstory.

[@theawesomeman9821]

I'd watch a series dedicated to him

[@MikeHesk742]

Dooku's always been my favourite, in Attack of the Clones I always liked that it feels slightly ambiguous how genuine he is, I've always leant towards him being genuine because he volunteers real information that could have helped the jedi stop Sidious. I was disappointed when the Clone Wars series made him a straight villain, though I understand why. My only complaint with Dooku in these episodes is that he already seems to be choking people, and even eventually joining Sidious and the Sith before Qui Gonn dies. His death always felt like the natural catalyst, and was a beautiful scene here. I wish that had been the turning point for him joining Sidious, after having years and years of these other events building up to it.

[@protector_of_the_realms]

Filoni changed canon again though. This change I actually liked however unlike the first 2 with Maul’s capture on Mandalore and and Caleb/Kansan’s order 66 experience. Absolutely hated the latter change actually, that was so much better in the comic. But yeah always liked it in legends with Dooku only leaving the order after Qui-Gon died and was bothered by canon making it happen 10 years before TPM. I don’t know where tf the story group is though and what they’re doing ahaha

[@AlterEgo756]

Lot of writers have been providing backstories for a lot of Star Wars characters long before Filoni

[@LTJADAN]

We need a Grevious origin story

[@sammundi8235]

When Eric said " I wanna watch a 100 of these," I felt the same way. This is immediately my most favorite star wars anything just because of how much Dooku we got. He has always been my favorite character and getting more of his back story with quality animation, solid story, music and voice acting...I need so much of this.

[@sang1342]

I LOVE that they worked the Living Force into this. You can see why Qui-Gon drove the Council mad...he learned it from Dooku. And they pay it off by showing how that costs Dooku a Council chair, as it later does Qui-Gon Which means, when Dooku tells Obi-wan on Geonosis that Qui-Gon would have joined him, he probably was actually right

[@fissilewhistle]

Unless I’m misremembering, Qui-Gon actually was offered a seat on the Council, but he refused because he’s Qui-Gon.

[@protector_of_the_realms]

Dooku actually was already on the council. He was on it when his apprentice before Qui-Gon, Rael, was on trial for killing his padawan. And then Qui-Gon was also offered a seat on the council which honestly doesn’t make much sense because in TPM Obi-wan speaks to him like he’s never been offered a seat on the council. But ah well I guess canon isn’t canon anymore though as Filoni doesn’t give af and contradicts everything ahaha. I like his contradiction with Dooku not leaving the order till after Qui-Gons death though like it was in legends. Wasn’t a fan of how they made it 10 years prior to TPM in canon originally. Hate Filoni’s other changes though with Maul’s capture on Mandalore and Kanan/Caleb’s order 66 experience

[@NorthernLaw_]

I absolutely loved how "quiet" and "peaceful" this series was, I thought it was just to signify it was before the Clone Wars but even the episodes during the Clone Wars were quiet, it had such a different tone than anything we have seen before, this series had the exact same tone as the final episode as Clone Wars S7 actually, post Order 66 everything was quiet. I liked it

[@PershingOfficial]

It’s almost a parallel before 9/11 in the US. Things bad occurred but at a lesser degree

[@Zhicano]

The quietness really added to the tragedy of it all. It was peaceful but it was an ominous peace before the storm.

[@LA_HA]

That's why it's called The Calm Before The Storm. Unless you speak in layman terms. Then, it's When The Ish Hits The Fan. Ha

[@lsandjs9793]

Im a little late to the party but literally while watching the third episode I was like “this feels like a mature series without being mature”… makes me want like a rated R star wars show or at least tv-14

[@roninunchained]

Dooku shoving Qui-Gon into the barn door has me contemplating whether it was to push him aside to not get in his way or to subtly find a way to stop him from slaying someone down. Glad I wasn't the only one who had that thought cross his mind Hahaha. Episode 2 is either my favorite or 2nd favorite episode. So good!!!

[@Not_Harvard]

Qui-Gon's death is arguably the single most impactful death of a Jedi in hundreds if not thousands of years. Dooku turned only after learning of his death and the Separatists would have never been in such an impactful position without Dooku leading their armies. Clone Wars would have been completely different with Dooku on the other side and Qui-Gon alive to train Anakin and keep him in check. This is the Star Wars content that I have been wanting for the last 2 decades. So thankful to be alive to get to see this.

[@NobleGuardianW]

I love that Windu was in control so much, just for him to kill that guy without hesitation. It really shows his ability to tow the line of dark while staying in the light

[@LA_HA]

[Edited to correct Vaapad spelling] I'm really into his Vaapad style. Anakin could've really grown strong(er) under Windu's tutelage. I love Obi Wan Kenobi, but he wasn't the best choice to train The Chosen One. A much older, balanced, wiser, and stronger master on the order of Windu and Yoda would've been a far better choice... since Qui Gon Jinn died, I mean. He would have been perfect to train Anakin

I could not stop smiling throughout that first episode. As someone who grew up with Clone Wars, Ahsoka really feels like an old friend 🧡💙 Also, if I remember correctly, Ahsoka was taken to the Jedi temple when she was three, and I think it was said that she was an orphan at the time, which is really sad watching the episode, but also kind of good that she wasn’t just taken away from a loving family…

[@xglitch97]

BRO... Dave Filoni LITERALLY talked about the plot summary of the episode JUSTICE in a round table he did with the other directors/writers! I'm soo happy he was able to bring his style and storytelling ability to HIS interpretation of the Pre-empire Rebulic. The second the Master put his lightsaber on the table and was like, this is how its gonna go, I thought, "These are Dave Filonis' Jedi!" And It worked soo perfectly.. You could see in the faces of the captors that they were beaten as soon as he revealed himself, you either do what a Jedi tells you, or die. And the fact that the true Hero of the day ended up being the apprentice, freaking QUI-GON JINN, holy shit what a great episode, and I'll just go ahead and say this rn 2 episodes in, an AMAZING series. Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, I will love and cherish you forever no matter what. Thank you for breathing new life into this amazing world.

[@sebastiansuazo2734]

man, dooku´s fall to the dark side is soooooo understandable, as much as anakin´s, episode 2 and 3 were amazing.

[@joeg6478]

this series showed that dooku was always sidious' most loyal apprentice. he wasn't pressured, abducted as a child or manipulated into turning to the dark side like the other apprentices. As an elder master jedi he made the choice freely, sold his soul with both eyes open and once the choice was made, he never looked back. dooku more than any other character besides Palpatine created the conditions for the galactic empire's existence and as an ironic bit of karmic punishment, the moment the task complete and his replacement was ready, he got cast out and forgotten like his old jedi light saber.

Yes, Janina is from Battlefront II. I've been acquaintances with her for awhile (my friend ended up becoming friends with her). She's a really down-to-earth person - no Hollywood ego whatsoever. I spoke with her after she was cast in Battlefront II, and the excitement she had for being part of Star Wars canon was blatantly obvious. She's a huge fan herself, and she said it was the honor of her career. So I'm really happy Dave Filoni reached out to her to be a part of this.

[@artsohc]

In episode 1 of ToTJ, Ahsoka is identified as a Jedi by an elder in a tribe on some backwater world. By ANH, the Jedi are all but forgotten even in the core of the galaxy. That is one of Palpatine’s greatest victories.

[@rachelpicheo8959]

Love is not ATTACHMENT. Jedi allow themselves to grieve. Everyone expected Dooku to grieve. Obi-Wan cried with Qui-Gon in his arms. Attachment is using that person's death as a reason to do whatever you want without morals.

Dave Filoni just keeps proving over and over that he is not just the best writer for Star Wars besides George Lucas, but one of the best storytellers of our generation!

I mean, at this point Dave is better than Lucas. Lucas will always deserve praise, but let's be honest his writing sucks overall. He's great at overall plots, but there's a reason episode 5 is the best movie. He didn't direct it or write the screenplay There's a reason Clone Wars is a billion times better than the prequels.

[@chrisyancey89]

Baby Ahsoka was adorable and her cooing noises are the same as Grogu's. She quickly mastered how to use the Force to calm animals, while she was an infant. Ezra tried and couldn't do that on Atollon. I was also surprised at how Dooku was teetering on the brink of the dark side already. Hopefully, if they ever do a volume 2, they canonize the incident on Galidraan. That would be an excellent starting point for Dooku's mistrust of the Jedi. Mace Windu seemed shady in the 3rd episode. I wonder if he was lying when he said he had no idea that he would be getting the council seat instead Dooku. Wouldn't be the first time a Jedi lied.

[@ProQuo360]

In fairness to Ezra, he was always easily distracted and hot headed as well. Hence why he gets a master like Kanan who’s similar in mindset but understands where Ezra comes from over time as the episodes continue and they grow both closer as student and master.

[@rakshithanand8262]

As much as Windu is dogmatic and abrasive, he is steadfast, self-aware and loyal to a fault. His whole lightsaber form is built around accepting his inner darkness and channelling it to fight. So no, I think he was 100% truthful- he just assumed that Dooku would be like him and not care about a council seat. He didn’t realise how much Dooku mistrusted the Jedi Order already.

[@YTAG33]

I hated episode 1. Jedi have different talents and specialties. Ahsoka is like a ninja, not a master of animals even as an adult. Why would this be her story as a baby? For the story to make sense it should have been Ezra and a Wolf before his parents were captured by the Empire.

[@RoxyOceanwave]

it really wouldn't suprise me if someone on the council took mace aside before the mission and said "do as we say and your position on the council is nearer then you think" hence his umbearable attitude with sticking to the "rules"

[@rakshithanand8262]

@@RoxyOceanwave I don't buy that because Mace is not someone who desires or values power outside of his ability to serve. If he can serve as a council member, fine. If he serves as a Padawan, fine. We know that he actually steps down as Master of the Order during the Clone Wars because he feels he can serve better as a general on the front lines, though he won't get another opportunity to lead. Again, the whole point of him is that he resists the Dark Side every day through rigorous self-control i.e. following the rules. No, I think Mace's issue is that he applies his own thoughts to everyone. HE isn't corrupt, so everyone else can't be. He doesn't understand why Dooku wants more authority at all because Mace can't comprehend that Dooku wants change from the status quo. And to be fair to Mace, I'm pretty sure that if Dooku was honest with him he'd voluntarily step aside like he does later for Yoda. Of course, a lack of open communication as a whole is a big flaw of the Prequel-Era Jedi.

I was worried that inquisitor was intended to be the first one she faced but obviously it’s not the inquisitor from the book. But yeah he’s changed so much like Maul’s capture on Mandalore (which I preferred in the book), Caleb/Kansan’s order 66 experience (which I much, much preferred in the comic and think it’s horrible in bad batch) and now also Dooku’s timeline of leaving the order where in canon it was supposed to happen 10 years prior to TPM. Though tbh that never really sat right with me and I preferred the legends timeline of him being apart of the order until Qui-Gon’s death so I’m okay with this canon contradiction and love episode 4 of this season so much. But damn man, no idea what’s going on with Filoni, he used to be so caring and respectful haha. I also don’t know where tf the story group is at and what they’re doing lol

[@Joker23236]

@@protector_of_the_realms yeah I mean it didn’t do it too bad but if I’m not mistaken bail didn’t even know ahsoka survived the purge until she contacted him in the book but yet they met at padmes funeral in this. And than she explodes sixth brothers lightsaber and takes the crystals and purifies them into her white lightsabers in rebels and than none of that happens in this. All to make ahsoka look more badass by cutting his head off lol

Sometimes I forget Star Wars is a fantasy genre not Sci-Fi and it always hits me in the face lmao

Episode 3: perfect continuation of Dooku's realization and self-confirmation of how the corruption of Courscant is leading to the corruption of the Jedi. The opening conversation between Mace and Dooku foreshadowed the ending... where Mace's strict adherence to "rules" and "protocol" is what led to his appointment to the Jedi High Council. Dooku, then, left feeling slighted and further pushing a wedge between him and the Jedi Order. Dooku was valid in his statement. Rules and protocol have their place, but when they become "maddening" they lose their purpose. Also, his statement to the Raxus prisoner about evolving... organizations that do not evolve are doomed to die.... parallel to the Jedi Order's strict adherence to 1000+ year old norms and protocols.

[@PWR.SHADOW]

Im loved the first episode but I am absolutely gutted we didn’t see Master Plo take Ahsoka to the temple as he was the one who took her there, yes Anakin was her master but Plo was like a father figure to Ahsoka calling her “Little Soka” gets me all the time and that he showed his wisdom to Ahsoka and heart that she carried throughout the clone wars. Plo for example cared more about the clones than the mission and when Ahsoka needed to survive order 66 she still refused to kill the clones even when her mission was to survive. She learn the skills from Anakin but her heart comes from Master Plo

[@OrangeFlyer41]

Something I thought of while watching episode 3 since master Katri is the same species as Luminara, and at some point in the clone wars they mention that only someone from that species can train a padwan from their species. If master Katri had a padawan it could have been Luminara

[@bobafett1313]

26:38 it’s almost like the relationship between Anakin and Ahsoka where in the clone wars we see Anakin turn dark side for some moments to force choke or what not and Ahsoka is there to stop him and calm him down.

[@branchie8979]

i loved when ahsoka's mom roared back at the saber-cat thing so badass

[@chrisklitou7573]

First episode with Asoka as a baby with the Big cat reminded so much of Baby Tarzan from the Cartoon

[@hobblesan99]

What I love about the first episode is the North American-like landscape: the pine trees, the "dandelions," the goat-like animals. I also enjoyed the Native American-like style of the Shili culture: respect the land, respect the animals... thank them for their sacrifice and "take no more than you need."

[@tomtudorweaver1078]

I loved the Dooku episodes, he's a character who I mainly liked because it was Christopher Lee, but they really allowed some characterization to shine here in a clear and concise way. On top of it being refreshing to have a master turn to the dark side rather than the apprentice, I really like how the picture they paint of him is clearly someone more so against a corrupt Republic and Jedi council, and has fairly legitimate reasons for feeling that way, rather than someone who's truly in favor of the ways of the dark side the same way Palpatine is. It really makes him a lot more tragic as it's so clear how Palpatine would use all of that to manipulate him, it's not like Maul or Anakin who were far more impressionable and pliable given their relative youth, Dooku is an older, beaten down man with a clear standpoint informed by years of experience.

[@GameTavern2224]

So good seeing this character flushed out in such a short yet so effective way. I've read through the Jedi Lost book so seeing this all play out on screen is just a joy for me

[@noahhelsee1340]

Qui-Gon is to Dooku what Huey is to Billy Butcher

[@brianalambert1192]

So let me get this straight; Clone Wars has become a cult classic enough that Disney finally decided to put money into it along with the Bad Batch spin off which got two seasons, the writers had this story for Dooku set up, and the title of the show is called Tales of the Jedi, and yet rather than allowing the team to do full length episodes in arc style format like in Clone Wars as the Dooku episodes clearly were meant to be viewed that way and maybe 12 episodes to be able to tell stories of 4-6 Jedi depending on episode length, they restricted them to mini episodes, only let them do stories on two Jedi (we all know why Ahsoka's stories were told, but I'm convinced the writers just wanted to tell Dooku's story and that's how this show came to be), and released them all at the same time in complete opposition to the way they have traditionally released new content? I don't know if any of you are following my logic but as much as I loved the new stories, they feel to me to be more evidence that Disney does not have faith in the Clone Wars franchise and has to be forced to put money and time into it. The only consolation I have is that it looks like these episodes were done by people who are passionate for the story they're telling and Disney just let them do what they wanted to do this time around. I know I sound whiney. I feel like a parent of a kid who is remarkably talented at something and I'm waiting for them in a talent show full of kids that are average or better than average and when the announcers let my actually talented kid on stage, they're doing so begrudgingly if that analogy makes any sense

[@marcusmcgill4423]

My only issue was Obi-Wan still having the mullet from Episode II. When he and Anakin first meet Ahsoka in The Clone Wars (2008) film, he was rocking the short hair that he ends up having in Episode III and throughout The Clone Wars series. So someone dropped the ball on that continuity.

[@jackdubz4247]

Or they deliberately updated the character model.

[@marcusmcgill4423]

@@jackdubz4247 Don't think the mullet would be an update. Especially, since The Clone Wars series is canon. So that would be breaking continuity.

[@protector_of_the_realms]

Filoni has already broken continuity several times though. The Maul capture on Mandalore is different from the novel, he completely changes Caleb/Kanan’s order 66 experience for the worst which I’m still so mad about, here he changes when Dooku left the order by 10 years which I don’t mind because that’s how it was in legends and I always felt a little off about him leaving 10 years before TPM in canon and he changes the Ahsoka book again with episode 6. He doesn’t care about canon or continuity at all. Disney and Lucasfilm lied to me when they said it all matters and I’ve wasted so much time and money now ahaha. Can’t imagine how the authors feel

[@marcusmcgill4423]

@@protector_of_the_realms True. I just hate it when it happens. I get it when there's a reason for it, but when they just do it just to do it or they don't remember what was done before, then that's when it annoys me. As a filmmaker myself getting into the industry (indie horror), I was taught by mentors and fellow colleagues to always stick with continuity unless there's an absolutely good reason to break it.

it shows at this time, the Jedi have basically became part of the Senate, since the Ruusan reformations, for 1000 years there was peace. The Jedi had lost their way and become more and more directly connected with the Senate they had lost their way.

Episode 4 is a masterpiece

[@Vahki100]

agreed! my favourite one

[@DarthDimadome]

Watching this and thinking about the one time Windu was willing to break the rules and kill Palpatine. Because at that moment, he realized following the rules had led to the rise of evil in the galaxy. But he didn't want to kill Palpatine because it was the right thing to do, he wanted to kill him because Palpatine was living and formidable proof that blind loyalty to a corrupt and archaic system can lead to arrogance and ruin...and rather than embrace change, he couldn't stand to see it live. "He's too dangerous to be kept alive." Not dangerous to the galaxy...dangerous to the system.

[@therediodeerman5811]

Young Dooku sounds so much like Allan Rickman

[@raulmckool]

18:50 Mind blown by how SPOT ON Eric was about Qui-Gon's death pushing Dooku over the edge. 🤯

[@AustinFoss00]

Qui Gon was absolutely the most "Jedi" of all the Jedi. He most likely could have kept Dooku and Anakin on the side of good and all 3 of them could have reformed the Jedi and Republic. No diss to Obi-Wan, he did his best and he will always be a great Jedi, but Qui Gon definitely would have raised Anakin better

[@laytontashjian327]

There’s also some foreshadowing in episode 3, when Dooku says that it is unlikely for a Jedi to fall from a surprise attack, unless it was done by someone who they trusted. Great foreshadowing towards how the Jedi trusted the clones, and paid the paid the price for it later.

[@kfactor20]

On the topic of the Jedi Council taking in padawans at such a young age, I get why they do bc they wanna avoid them having any attachments considering it can lead to the darkside. However, I think that’s kinda “brainwashing” them into being good, you know what I mean? Like I feel like that was a major flaw in the Jedi Order, they never really gave younglings a chance to choose their own path, it was decided for them. Again, it was to avoid any turning to the darkside and overthrowing the Jedi but considering how arrogant the order became, it just felt like they were brainwashing in a sense at that point. Imagine how many Jedi possibly grew up to be cocky and arrogant bc of their unwavering confidence in the Jedi order. It could’ve been what caused them to be easily blindsided by order 66. Like arrogance is what held them back from sensing any unsuspected trouble. While Jedi like Ahsoka, Yoda, Jaro Tapal, and possibly others were able to sense it in time bc they were more in tune with the force. Idk, maybe I’m talking out of my ass but that’s what I think

[@hobblesan99]

Episode 2. I loved the European village style. I enjoyed how the episode showed the destituteness of the people due to corruption and how Dooku experiences the fallout it brings. He sees it first hand and begins to question both his purpose in the Jedi order and the Order itself. Excellent story-telling.
