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.

[@fissilewhistle]

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

[@jacquesmassard9226]

Feloni has been saying this for years so i am not shocked.

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@Spongebrain97]

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

[@ihaveafettfetish9348]

Tales of the Jedi was a masterpiece, especially Dooku’s episodes. Qui-Gon will always be the purest and best example of a Jedi imo. I could literally just watch a whole series about Qui-Gon and Dooku. That final scene tugged at the heartstrings. Qui-Gon basically said the same thing to Obi-Wan in The Phantom Menace shortly before the duel with Maul. Man, I’m really hoping that Filoni does more of these.

[@dragonhunter1315]

I really want a second season

[@hdudhehdhd2222]

@Alvie the only episode i feel needed to be a bit longer is the last episode but the rest feels perfect to me. It’s really crazy how they managed to deliver such deep and meaningful stories in such a short time

[@Codani100]

The shows always hit

[@jerbungo9797]

I have no doubt that Disney will have Lucasfilm create a second season. This show definitely shows that whenever they create a great product like Tales or the Jedi and Andor and not put limited resources such as Kenobi and Boba Fett, they would get much more sales of Disney+ subscriptions.

[@lukeskywelker9768]

Filoni should do Tales of Mandalore and show us young Jango and how Count Dooku recruited him, now thatd be something

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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!!!

[@maja.z.pszczola]

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…

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.

[@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.

[@tortoiseoflegends4466]

@@DazHotep6EQUJ5 the first episode was kind of weak IMO. Even if we weren't very over saturated with Asohka content, it really didn't tell us anything we didn't know or recontextualise anything. Starting out with plo Koon taking her to the temple, and having a couple of timeskips where they explore their relationship and ending with her assignment to Anakin would've been more interesting IMO.

[@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'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.

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.

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! Episode 1 was like a classic Akira Kurosawa film, Episode 2 was like a classic western movie, and Episode 3 did something I thought was impossible and made me not only care about Dooku but actually side with him.

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. He wasn't running it. Dave really saved star wars and kept it amazing

[@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.

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.

[@joselinvalle6219]

Other than the art and animation being GORGEOUS, the music for the Dooku arc was just *chef’s kiss*. I was getting Hans Zimmer vibes and on a more niche note, bits of Vinland Saga. It was just so good!

[@TheGeneralGrievous19]

Thank You for the reaction! ♥ I think Episodes 1-3 were great! I cannot wait to see your reaction to the rest of them. Episodes 5-6 are amazing as well. Episode 4 was the best one imo. The show is beautiful with it's music and animation, all in the spirit of Star Wars. I especially like the expansion of Dooku's story and the background for why he left the Jedi Order. I love Tales of the Jedi! 🧡🖤

I believe that's actually Kevin Kinner's SONS that are doing the ost with him, not his brother

[@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.

[@hobblesan99]

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.

[@cyradus]

Ahsoka is my favorite character in the Star Wars Universe. It was great to see more pieces of her story. The animation is beyond amazing in all of these.

[@Joker23236]

Yeah unfortunately they pretty much wiped the ahsoka book out of canon which is insane because Dave filoni gave the okay for that book to be written and than he does what he did in episode 6 lol

[@theawesomeman9821]

@@Joker23236 they havent wiped it from canon, Disney just wants to depict Ashoka on a different storyline because they know nerds will be sensitive how the book gets adapted.

[@protector_of_the_realms]

@@Joker23236 Ffs when I saw the trailer I was like Filoni better not be contradicting canon again ahaha. 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

wow what fantastic show was waiting the hole day for the the reaction

[@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

The Dooku Trilogy is a good one

[@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. (See Anakin with Shmi) English speaker use attachments to mean 'I prefer to have you around' that is not the Jedi Attachment. "attachment refers to an attempt to control things that you can't control."

[@Caveman05256]

Dooku has always been my favorite character in star wars, and these episodes gave him the justice he always deserved

[@jjc5871]

I loved episode 2 and I was fully on board with Dooku wiping out the Senator and his soldiers.

[@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

[@4everhealthwellness344]

Mace was a council member during the Phantom Menace which us when Chancellor Valorum was in charge of the Senate. During episode one though Padme got persuaded to call for the vote of no confidence and Palpatine became Chancellor

[@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.
