Tales of the Jedi - Eps 4 Reaction

[@Steve302]

Physically yaddle was lifting the giant door and metaphorically trying to hold on to what little light was left of dooku… loved it!

[@blakedowning1811]

YES YES YES

As the mouth-with-teeth-shaoed door tried to eat her! Whoever did the art design needs a freaking raise.

[@dignifiedspace1706]

It’s like Dooku got one last look at the light, one last chance to stop the darkness. His face looked like there was conflict but the light didn’t last long enough to take him back

[@1dudecrush]

And Sidious recoils like it’s burning him. Absolutely dripping with symbolism

[@manu.gibert]

​@@1dudecrush Yes, he was affected by the light, like a vampire, feeding from Dooku's left soul.

Im sad Christopher Lee could not see this. This few episodes made him one of the best characters in Star-Wars.

[@liamphibia]

He would've been very proud this. Especially Corey Burton.

[@NintyBros]

honestly, Dooku to me in the films and even in clone wars was kinda overshadowed and forgotten to me personally, but watching tales of the jedi.....i just love it so much and my love for Dooku has soared! One of the best characters for me now!!!!!

[@dannybob42]

Qui-Gon was his canary and without him he fell to the dark Also makes Palpatine egging Anakin to kill him a much deeper wound

[@SamaritanPrime]

Palpatine is a man who loves making things come full circle.

[@brentfuchs5501]

That conversation when Dooku has Obi Wan held captive on Geonosis feels very different now. “I wish he were still alive. I could use his help right now.”

[@patjacksonpodium]

When Dooku said "Qui Gon always loved this tree," and I realized what just happened, I full out cried, my guy. I was not expecting that, especially since we had JUST seen him. That was another level of emotional impact from a character I never expected to get that from. Phenomenal. This was the moment I fell in love with Tales of The Jedi.

[@a_fine_edition2746]

That legitimately might be my favorite scene in the episode, if not this whole series of shorts. I’ll get teary-eyed anytime I see it. So much is said with so little dialogue, and good lord the MUSIC. It’s so sad and haunting. You can feel Dooku’s pain and sorrow with him barely having to do a thing or say a word. Even Yaddle is obviously very upset and worried for her friend. It’s moments like these that make me love Star Wars.

[@sharlayanarchon]

So did I, my friend. So did I. And it was then that I realized what was the catalyst for his fall to the Dark.

[@lsandjs9793]

I love how they portrayed that in a short matter of time however, you see qui gon so recently that u dont think his death would be so sudden but it is, very realistic that way and makes u feel what dooku is feeling

Filoni did the same thing with Maul in Clone Wars and Rebels. Takes a paper thin character and fleshes them out and makes them amazing.

[@jmichaelmatkin]

@@Slabrangoon69 Too soon?

[@Rundas045]

Why did he do that to begin with though?

[@ashleyrobinson3526]

@@Rundas045 because he wanted the production of the clones to be secret after he took over their production (Palpatine ordered Dooku to kill the Jedi Sifo-Dyaus, whom was a friend of Dooku and had a vision of an upcoming conflict, the reason the clones were being made in the first place)

[@jmhaces]

I really enjoyed seeing that Dooku never stopped caring for Qui-Gon, even after he was already well on his way to going to the Dark Side. It was really sad seeing them discuss how he'd like to meet Obi-Wan, and then seeing him mourn Qui-Gon as basically his son, the boy he raised and trained to be a Jedi Master, even to the point to calling Sidious out to his face for allowing Maul to kill Qui-Gon.

[@blakedowning1811]

Yaddle opening the door, the light pouring in--which illuminates Dooku's face, and make Sidious recoil momentarily--it being the last moment for Dooku to CHOOSE the light side... but Yaddle couldn't hold it. The door snaps shut and the darkness covers them all. The veil of the dark side falls over Dooku, and he ends Yaddle's life in front of his new master locking himself into his new place. GOD THE SYMBOLISM THANK YOU STAR WARS

[@jsbcody]

And Yaddle fell forward into the Darkness inside, instead of falling backwards into the Light and getting away to notify the Council.........Just a matter of inches and balance causes what happens to happen.

[@joshbourne9679]

This one was my favourite, it’s just so powerful. I got teary eyed for yaddle and I barley knew her. Such an amazing episode

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

We get to know her a lot more, in Phase Two of The High Republic. She'll also likely get depicted (along w/ Yoda) in The Acolyte.

[@jeffreydegraw4070]

Dooku is a classic tragic character where his reasonings are totally sound but his methods are wrong. Add the fact that he completely miscalculates Palpatine’s manipulation tactics so all his actions are pointless at the end. He is just another tool in Palpatine’s pocket. Fantastic 3 episode arc!

Which was more heartbreaking; the fall of Dooku or Anakin? In about 45-50 minutes, Filoni gave us a back story for Dooku that left most of us wanting more.

[@foulrot]

After these shorts, I think Dooku's fall is more tragic. Anikin fell due to his love for Padmé, Dooku fell due to his want for peace and order for the entire Republic.

[@danzansandeev6033]

@@foulrot I mean that’s why there is a saying that road to hell is paved with good intentions. Majority of people who fell to the dark side wanted to do good

[@MonsterTeegs]

Man, Filoni's star wars work always feels like genuine George Lucas star wars. I've missed it so much.

[@foulrot]

George was great at world building, Dave is great at character development, something George kinda lacked in.

[@estebangarcia9168]

Interesting facts: Dooku's family is very very rich, his father hated him when he manisfest force senses and he abandon Dooku in a forest, a jedi searcher found him and he carried him to Coruscant. His mother died when he was young, and when he left the order, he reclaimed his titles of his homeworld and he became Count Dooku of Serenno and a very wealthy man in the galaxy, because of that he financed easily the separatist faction

[@galmorzu]

Anyone else also notice the way the giant door also looked like a massive toothy maw, like they were inside a great beast of darkness that was threatening to swallow them all?

[@crocadillius6418]

Sick rhyme

[@sharlayanarchon]

I wasn't expecting to cry for Count Dooku today. But I did. I wasn't expecting to discover his paternal love for Qui-Gon ran so deep. I wasn't expecting to cry as Dooku crossed blades with Master Yaddle today. But I couldn't stop crying. I'm still crying as I write this. And. . .I never expected to be offering up a prayer that he found peace before Anakin's blades found their mark. But I do. And I hope he found his way into the Light of the Force.

[@boomieboo]

The "Tales of" series is going to blow up because it can go anywhere and be about anything at any time next season. Tales of the: Sith, Bounty Hunters, Old Republic, etc. I hope LF sees this potential in future iterations and exploits it to the highest degree.

[@williamrichards8682]

"The Jedi Order’s problem is Yoda. No being can wield that kind of power for centuries without becoming complacent at best or corrupt at worst. He has no idea that it’s overtaken him; he no longer sees all the little cumulative evils that the Republic tolerates and fosters, from slavery to endless wars, and he never asks, ‘Why are we not acting to stop this?’ Live alongside corruption for too long, and you no longer notice the stench.” -Count Dooku, former apprentice of Yoda

[@Senbonzakura776]

Loved that episode! The visuals and that music was perfect. Also It was just so great hearing Ian McDiarmid as Sidious. It ending by fading out with that smirk from Sidious was perfect. I had never known what happened to Yaddle, and while I'm not a Jedi fan...RIP Yaddle

[@ZeroOhNine]

I always loved Dooku even in the prequels, he was actually my favorite between Maul, him and Grevious. What we got in those movies was just enough to get a taste of what happened to him. The Prequels were supposed to be about _Anakin's_ story and fall, so what we got was enough without taking away from anything else.

[@jamesfoster9613]

The only thing this episode was missign was Sidious going, "Rise...Darth...Tyrannis!" It would have been an amazing echo of Episode III. Also, Qui-gon being from Coruscant is...fascinating. I never knew that. But the tree is important symbolism from Yoda's arc in Clone Wars s6, and seeing it return here is just amazing.

[@rhannah7873]

Dooku's episodes in this series have inspired me to purchase the audio book for Dooku: Jedi Lost. I want to learn so much more about him.

Bro this episode was so haunting I was on the verge of tears

[@Ty-yy7zr]

You know Dave wrote these episodes with help from some books, like dooku jedi lost, and whatever George had on him when he probably asked as reference.

[@DCComicsGamer]

So, so good. Yaddle was always one of the great Star Wars fan questions - the only other member of Yoda's race we'd ever seen (until Grogu), she was on the council in Episode 1 but disappeared before Episode 2. It's never been explained what happened to her until now. SO GOOD. And having McDiarmid AND Neeson back AND Bryce Dallas Howard as Yaddle?? SO GOOD!!!!

[@foulrot]

Yaddle and Grogu are the only members of Yoda's species currently in canon, but there were at least 3 others in old legends, Master Vandar Tokar, Master Oteg, and Jedi Knight Minch.

[@DCComicsGamer]

That episode was a masterpiece. It tied in so well with the on screen action of The Phantom Menace.

[@chasecaldwell2335]

The audiodrama (also in book/script form) "Dooku: Jedi Lost" which came out a few years ago also does a very good job of fleshing out Dooku's backstory. I definitely recommend it if you want more.

[@bradsmith2661]

Imagine if the Prequel Trilogy were written with dialogue like this

If the storytelling was done this well in the prequels I think they would have been a lot better. We hardly get any of this stuff with dooku

[@jmoney6782]

This series is so fucking good.. Need more tales of Jedi!!!

[@Star4wars1]

It makes dooku like many in the prequels more tragic he wants to bring order and peace at any cost and palpatine manipulates him like he does to everyone he meets, makes his character more tragic and relatable. Also his death hits different now, that shock on his face is saddening

[@Dagenspear]

Everything, emotionally, about the character of Dooku, in this Dooku arc is all built on things from the PT. Dooku being Qui-Gon's teacher is in AOTC, and wishing he was here, along with Dooku being a political idealist who sees the republic as corrupt. The PT did this. This show is taking those elements and giving far more expansion to them, yes, but this was all set up in the PT. Dooku was a pawn to Palpatine in those movies. That was his role. Those movies weren't about his tragic fall. Could he have been done far better? Yeah, I think so. But to call him the worst? I don't agree. He had the role he was primed for, to me.

[@ZeroOhNine]

Completely agree. I feel like they're kinda being too hard on the PT in these videos.

[@kevenpinder7025]

Dooku reopens the door, unscrews his light saber, removes his Kyber Crystal and throws it as far as his strength and the force will propel it.

[@blakereed92]

Dooku knew the two of them couldn't take Sidious alone. He did what he had to do.

[@zazoreal5536]

The gate opening with the last light was like Dooku's last chance to turn around.

[@malachithegreat3889]

Considering that the original plot of the prequels was to reveal that Jar Jar (the Phantom Menace) was the evil secret Sith version of Yoda pulling the strings of the dark side all along with Palpatine ("Usual Suspects" style). Then ret-conned by Lucas because of Binks bad reviews, and shoehorning in Dooku in as replacement for the evil Jar Jar. (Yes it was supposed to be evil Jar Jar fighting Yoda in ep 2 originally). This backstory by Filoni fixes the prequels. Because Dooku obviously was a last addition with no backstory or motivation. So this really works.

[@dennisellis3605]

These episodes make me wish this was a full movie of the events up to him joining Palpatine. How cool would it be to see a young Dooku as Padawan to Yoda & the teachings Yoda have him that shaped his outlook.

[@YodatheHobbit]

I am so confused by how you guys don't understand the George already had Dooku erasing Kamino by impersonating Syfo Dias, his grief of losing Qui-Gon, desire to meet Obi-Wan. This was all in Attack of the Clones. As far as those parts go we're only just now finally seeing it. It was already written about as plot points. The only thing Dave really wrote is Yaddle making the discovery of them together. George even had a whole bigger backstory about Dooku forming the confederacy in earlier drafts of the script.

[@jimmygarcia1586]

Watching these episodes make that line that Luke said in the last Jedi more poignant. "It's time for the Jedi to end."

[@TaintedPeter]

The last Jedi was fucking ass. That isnt the true Luke

[@Helbore]

This is one of the problems I have with The Last Jedi. If anyone understood the story of the prequels, then they'd understand this is exactly why the prophecy of the chosen one played out as it did. These Dooku shorts further elaborate on that. The Jedi order of the old Republic was complacent and too bogged down in politics. It had to go so that it could be born anew, in order to defeat the Sith. Effectively, this is the whole narrative point of the first six films, once complete as a saga. Anakin brings down both the Jedi and the Sith, paving the way for Luke to rebuild the order as it should be. The Last Jedi acts like that story hadn't already played out and still needed telling. It got it completely ass-backwards. It should have been the story of Luke teaching Rey the true meaning of being a Jedi, as it was meant to be before the bureaucracy crushed it.

[@jimmygarcia1586]

Never said the movie was good. Nor did I say it was bad. So keep be mindful of your feelings young Padawan.

[@Dagenspear]

Not really. Luke's never developed in that movie to know or care or even have repeated the actual real mistakes, like that, of the old jedi. No submissiveness to the senate or politics, not engagement in war. As far as TLJ depicts, Luke got angry one day and did something really stupid and then just gave up and started blaming the old jedi.

[@SomeKindaSpy]

Yeah, no. Fuck that movie. That wasn't Luke at all. Luke in the "Legends" or rather the Extended Universe, recognized the failings of the Jedi from all he had learned of them and reinvented them.

[@tylerbrown5526]

The last time we see Yaddle in canon (I believe) is on the council in The Phantom Menace. Everyone has been wondering what happened to her for awhile.

[@rachelpicheo8959]

The ultimate Tragedy is that Yaddle was on Dooku's side. Meaning that other Jedi probably would have agreed with Dooku. But Sidious separated Dooku from his Jedi Family. Dooku thought he was alone in the order. that is what got him.

[@nihilisticadventure]

Go back and watch the movies. Dave filoni did not "retcon" Count Dooku, everything Dave did was in service to Christopher Lee's portrayal in episode 2 and 3. Then maybe you can make the connection of why Dave focused on these two characters, Ahsoka and Count Dooku are very much connected. let's see if you can figure out why.

[@jacksonyon5276]

This was easily the best episode out of this already 10/10 masterpiece of a show. I really wish Dave was overseeing all the creative decisions on all the shows. Imagine if Kenobi or the book of Boba Fett was this good

[@ctwolfe72]

Best piece of Star Wars in years!

[@zazoreal5536]

The Reason they paired Ahsoka with Dooku is because they have a similar road....both see how the Jedi have fallen and can't help the Jedi. Dooku chooses to fight against it while Ashoka loses faith and stops fighting until she realizes that it is the way of the Jedi to protect and she doesn't need to call herself a Jedi to do what a Jedi was meant to do. That is why in the mandalorian she no longer says "I am no Jedi"

[@thedefinitionisthis]

Fascinating how 3 animated shorts did SUCH a better job at showing the fall/corruption of a Jedi Master, than 3 feature-length movies with direct input/execution by the creator. This one was definitely the highlight of the collections, even tho they’re all great.

[@thedarkknight2221]

Bryce Dallas Howard was amazing as Yaddle. I always wondered what happened to her after Episode 1 and sadly now we know. Also I hope that if Bryce was there when Ian McDiarmid and Liam Neeson recorded their line she took pictures.

[@MagisterV224]

Dooku fall kinda mirrors Anakin’s fall. In the Clone Wars Anakin slowly became disillusioned with the Jedi Order and the council. Because of the Order he lost his mother(Obi Wah refusing to listen to his nightmares) Because of them he lost Ahsoka. Because of them he’s constantly downgraded for his achievements. And in RoS he was about to lose his beloved because of them(yoda urges to accept it rather than help, though he only operates on half the information). So Anakin switches sides to the one that offers solutions. Like Dooku he kills the symbol of his disillusionment( Dooku kills Yaddle who represents Yoda, Anakin kills Mace the source of his Jedi problems) and like Dooku he falls to his knees asking himself “ What have I done?”

[@marcusmcgill4423]

@pReview'd Bryce Dallas Howard voiced Yaddle in this episode. And that was Ian McDiarmid reprising as Palpatine.

[@chancewrightva]

Gonna be honest, I'd put Tales of the Jedi in my top 5 Star Wars shows. For the Dooku Episodes Alone, this show is so well crafted by Dave Filoni and his Crew!

[@darkurge69]

Yeah bro Adam was me the entire episode. I could not believe we are getting material THIS GOOD. Don't get me wrong, I knew it would be fire, but these Dooku episodes hit so differently & add that layer I needed b/c Dooku's fall was always an interesting point that was like never revisited....UNTIL NOW.

[@thatscouttrooper]

I think I was developing a crush on Yaddle while watching this episode. It was mostly in the voice, I was like, "Man, whoever's voicing Yaddle right now is really doing it for me". Turns out she was voiced by my #1 celebrity crush, Bryce Dallas Howard. I saw that in the credits and I said "Ah. Now it makes sense. I'm not weird for being attracted to female yoda, I'm just being true to who I already am." It also had to do with how she was written as a character that I enjoyed. Also the episode as a whole was easily the best of the series. Filoni is a genius and needs to be in charge of Lucasfilm.

[@agentsculder2451]

I'd really like to see Dave Filoni and Tony Gilroy work together on something. Dave's got all the Star Wars knowledge and Tony is a brilliant storyteller. Maybe they could do a show or film about the New Republic together.

[@OnlyAFoolsHope]

In one of the comics it’s Yoda who confronts Dooku and tries to bring him back to the light. He almost succeeds too, except Obi Wan and Anakin show up unannounced and attack Dooku, making him think Yoda set a trap. He then fully joins Palpatine, and Yoda never quite forgives Anakin for interfering. I like this better though.

[@breakbones47]

The look on their faces at the end 😂😂

[@DJHolte]

Very good episode -- the only thing that bothered me was Yaddle's incredibly dumb decision to try to get in the fray against a Sith Lord (with Dooku's help or not) _without_ sending a quick message back to Jedi HQ letting them know what was up with Dooku.

[@melodydiagames]

This wasn't retcon just so y'all know. The corruption of the Senate has p much always been understood to be the reason he turned from the Jedi. He even said as much to Obi-Wan in Attack of the Clones. Him fighting Yaddle is def new however. Speaking of Yaddle, as far as I know, her only appearance in the movies/television was during one scene in the council chamber during The Phantom Menace. She was however, strangely absent during Qui-gon's funeral in that same exact movie. Now we know why.

Except we DON'T see the motivations. Big missing piece is how exactly Sidious convinced Dooku to cause so much death and destruction to thousands of innocents for the vague promise of "freedom".

I love Dave Filloni and think he should be the one in charge of all Star Wars right now. I think he is creative director write now.

[@TraXlem]

goes to show how the dual of the fates was so so important not just for Anakin but for Dooku and subsequently the whole universe. idc what anyone says Qui-Gon was the single most important character in the Star Wars Universe, and Sidious had the foresight to make sure he didnt survive.
