Tales of the Star Wars Galaxy: Palpatine and Count Dooku discuss Obi Wan & Anakin ROTS Novelization

[@laflux]

For those unaware, it's from the ROTS novel, before the duel on the invisible hand.

[@KMerse1]

And one of the reasons why the book is so much better than the movie - while the movie itself is already one of the best Star Wars pieces ever.

[@based4560]

Its not the whole thing from the novel, there was a sentence cut I believe. Nonetheless, still amazing.

[@adambeardy558]

That’s the ship grievous was on am I correct? The ship name I mean

[@magnushenriksson6580]

@@KMerse1 I concur,but people fail to give proper credit to Darth John Williams :) Hell, I bought my dvd of Revenge of The Sith at...the gas station.And then bought the soundtrack cd :)

[@stars9084]

Really? I'm glad you told me that, it tells me where to direct my issue. This scene honestly feels a little ridiculous to me. I definitely understand Dooku believing this was the plan to the end of the Clone Wars, and I understand all of the thoughts/doubts/wishes he has here. But for the life of me I cannot imagine him being stupid enough to voice any of the thoughts that weren't about Anakin to Palpatine. Talking to a Sith like that may as well be holding up a big neon sign saying 'I should die now.'

[@masscreationbroadcasts]

"How fortunate I am to be lectured by my own apprentice." Cold AF.

[@coruscant100]

For all the evil Dooku has done, I can't help but feel this scene makes me feel bad for him. A man who wanted to bring a new age of order and a better government and realized too late his own master saw him as nothing more than a pawn.

[@thanqualthehighseer]

He never knew the chaos and corruption he wanted to stop was caused by the Sith over centuries to set up the clone wars and fall of the Jedi.

[@hal0justcal865]

His ideology is horrendous. A human centric galaxy. He was very xenophobic sure no corruption but enjoyed slavery and oppression of others

[@lorenzdecena]

Both He and Darth Maul were one step behind against Darth Sidious.

[@WTFudgeMaster]

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. He deserved his fate. He was a murdererous dictator and made a deal with the Devil.

[@BurnTheTOXICSWFanbase]

[@mr.dystopian5554]

Palpatine: "Anakin is perfect just the way he is" *Anakin gets major burns and 3 limbs chopped off* Palpatine: "Well, fuck..."

[@SanosEdge]

You almost felt bad for him. Spending over a decade to prepare Anakin for conversion, but to see his life's work all but destroyed because of Vader's carelessness

[@GonzGunner]

Palpatine used one tool, and one tool only....he took advantage of Anakin's grief at losing Padme', and as described in Star Wars Canon, Anakin came to the realization that he had nowhere else to go, no other option other than to submit himself to Palpatine's will.

[@ArcRogerr]

"It is... fatiguing playing the villain for so long." Damn that hit

[@Justinian7290]

The ROTS Novelization was one of the first Star Wars books I read growing up. It was captivating to see the events behind the characters' eyes, but it was also melancholic to see these interactions between such dynamic characters that we unfortunately never see make it to the big screen. Dooku did so much for Sidious, and in the end he was discarded without remorse. Great job, as always, Stories!

[@joshuakolton9955]

My thoughts exactly!

Oh god, the scene when Palpatine gloats over Plagueis while he's dying with the AI voices.

[@TK-ev]

Completely agree. Palpatine convincing Hego that the Jedi had to be destroyed philosophically before they can be destroted physically was intense writing.

[@theprophet25]

It’s because the creator is now using text from novels. This is much better than AI conversations

[@Mephiles550]

I really love these. Since Dooku was ranting about Grievous’ failings, could you make one of these videos focusing on Grievous next? Maybe one where he argues about his strength despite not having the force and practically being a robot?

[@JonathanBresnihan77]

I love these stories. This particular conversation that takes place, not seen in the movie, right before Anakin and Obi-Wan show up is actually canon from Matthew Stover's novelization of ROTS. It's a great read and my personal all time favorite book.

[@sbs3000]

I'd heard this conversation took place in the novelization but haven't read it myself. Does this video match the text or is the dialogue here based upon it?

[@xavierhall185]

Damn right!

[@maksymilianziele28]

3:58 good point - if Dooku killed Obi-Wan and made Anakin fall to dark side, what makes anyone think Anakin would then join Kenobi's murderer's side just like that and listen? Then again, after Windu's death, Anakin just like that agreed with Palpatine Obi-Wan was an enemy like all Jedi.

[@preciousotoakhia9789]

How did Anakin know they clones would betray they Jedi or did he see it as him killing they Jedi only

[@jensenrogers6611]

Also, a maverick Jedi such as Dooku siding with the master of the man who killed his padawan with little resentment. I could see Anakin doing the same.

[@RomanHistoryFan476AD]

Palpatine never intended for Dooku to live after this fight. He intended for Dooku to get rid of Obi-Wan then Anakin enraged by that would get rid of Dooku. Leaving Anakin without a master and more reliant than ever on his friend Palpatine.

[@raistlin3462]

"Play your part, my apprentice, and the Galaxy will be ours." Technically true, I guess. "Ours" meaning Palpatine and Anakin.

Dooku was such an idiot & a tool. I can't believe it trusted sidious so much. & In the end dooku looses his head

[@shockwave2291]

To quote Ki-Adi Mundi: “He’s a political idealist, not a murderer.” He was idealistic thinking he could use Sidious to serve his own political interests, but wasn’t cunning enough to realize Sidious was using him and planned to murder him as soon as a better pawn showed up.

[@maxarturo2031]

Like Anakin, he was a fool for trusting Palpatine until he saw him trying to kill his own son.

[@tgmartin]

YES! I've been saying this for ages. He knew full well that Sidious had a creepy obsession with Anakin and the whole Rule of Two was common knowledge in Jedi circles, yet he still didn't suss until he got executed.

[@timurjack8773]

Dooku made so many mistakes during clone wars, about getting captured by pirates, captured by Maul and he still complains about it.

[@fossoyeur6610]

a discussion with grievous would be nice to see, whether with yoda, obi wan, plo koon , dooku, ...

[@DeMarcusFountain-sv6fi]

What always makes me chuckle is Dooku was 20 years older than his "Master" Sidious, yet he was so easily manipulated by the Sith Lord. Guess he wasnt as "wise" as he thought he was

[@obsidianstag13]

Palpatine/Sidious' greatest weapon as a Sith is not his lightsaber combat skills, nor his abilities granted through the Force such as telekinesis or lightning blasts, it is his keen foresight, strategic mind, and masterful way with words.

[@Macielos1]

I've never liked the idea of Dooku being this aware of Palpatine's plans regarding Anakin and still obedient enough to play along. I mean, of course he is loyal, but it's because he's constantly assured of his future role as a second-in-command in Sidious-reigned galaxy. He knows the Rule of Two and he's clearly no fool, so hearing what he heard here he'd immediately understand he's expendable and he'll soon be replaced by Skywalker if he fulfills his role to the end. Even more, I was also disappointed when Filoni made him responsible for planting Order 66 within clones. Meaning that he knew from the start he would be leading the war meant to be lost. It would be so much cooler if Dooku knew only one scenario - of Separatist victory over the Republic - while Palpatine starting the Clone Wars was prepared for both sides to eventually win. So it would be EITHER Order 66 and Republic transformation into the Empire OR Separatists becoming dominant force in the galaxy and decimation of the Jedi by their hands.

[@NerdX151]

It also shows how Dooku never truly saw himself as a Sith. He saw his role at Palpatine's side as a temporary one to reach his political goals. He thought the Dark Side was merely a tool that he could use and discard when it suited him, but that's never the case.

Do the Dooku quote about how the Jedi Order's problem is Yoda, and about corruption and slavery. It showcases Dooku being right, but also on the path to becoming the very thing he swore to destroy, so so perfectly. And beyond that...

[@matthewmann8969]

To be fair Sidious should of tried to encourage Anakin/Vader early on to be more refined and controlled with his raw power that way Ani/Vad would of been less likely to lose the way he did on Mustafar if at all Dooku had a point when he said that raw power is nothing if not controlled and focused which ironically Ani/Vad became good at after his cybernetic reconstruction later on yeah.
