When a Jedi Padawan Tried to Test Palpatine's Midichlorian Count - Star Wars Explained

[@skyrogue1977]

I imagine he would have to employ the old Sith trick of “Hey what’s that?”

[@charleslee8313]

It's more like the *Black Bush* skit from Chappelle's Show. "Oil? Oil?" (knocks down water glasses; runs off)

[@dearthditch]

Pocket sand!!!

[@GGBlaster]

Whut? Oh gosh darn, every time!

[@ALmizzle415]

Or “hey look! is that count dooku?”

I love how adaptable Palpatine was to keeping his secret.

[@JakotaDaGimp]

"I am the midichlorian" -Palps possibly

[@tiniusaustin1466]

"Palpatine's midichlorian count was so high, even Yoda was like, Hmm, no way he's just a politician. 😂

[@MegaDrain]

I always imagine when it's "friendships" like these where Palpatine does have a slimmer of remorse in him. Like when he calls Maul a true loss. He could've kept this up as long as he needed to until he didn't. But when he had to prematurely end it, I can imagine Palps just taking a deep sigh and going, "Fuck..." You're just a tool to Palpatine, that's apparent, but when a good tool unexpectedly breaks it's annoying. Like, "Fuck... I liked that hammer.."

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

I feel like this is the truth. But also is what sent palps down the full no fs given path. He liked maul. He wanted anakin. Dooku was just a stepping stone.

[@vaultboy4710]

Palpatine also noted that Darth Vader was his biggest accomplishment.

[@AncestorEmpire1]

One of the best clone wars era stories and one of the most tragic ones.

[@natsusatsujinki8342]

Here's one time the council was right about rules and regulations. Revealing Jedi business to outsiders caused the death of many.

[@hackman669]

Perhaps Jedi should only trust a select few senators. Like Bail Organa and Padme. This way information could be passed both ways without Palpatine knowing.😊

[@darsedigh9981]

Great to see the origins of sidious' rise to power despite Dookus' warning to Obi-Wan. I know it was necessary to take information spoken by your foe lightly but Dooku saw him as a grandson almost. It was necessary to trust his words or at least consider them. All this time I thought they hadn't even considered it heavily for so long

[@doomsdaySephiroth]

I think it was a good idea to want to get a blood sample from Palpatine, but I don't think it was wise to have revealed so much information about what it was for to him.

[@noahthomas6726]

Hey Stupendous I have a video idea where you do a tier list of the best lightsaber duelists for each lightsaber form

[@TheStupendousWave]

I LOVE IT! Added to the list!

[@noahthomas6726]

@ Oh yeah can’t wait

[@ObserverAlistair]

We can assume that Palpatine would've found a way to cheat the blood test

[@kevin-2.1]

That would have been a good idea at the time, but Palpatine wouldn’t allow that.

[@JustinMinckley]

Never found out how both died but this makes so much sense that Dooku would find out and then use full power in a battle to get rid of them.

[@TaraCicora]

Another great Republic CW era comic

[@strikerfrost7222]

Could a Jedi sense someone's force power if they really try and focus? I think it'd be pretty interesting if Yoda tried to sense Palpatine but he was actively keeping him out, like an invisible battle of the minds/force

[@AlexRamirez-fj4dj]

I remember reading this story and it was a great idea which palpatine did everything to prevent from happening. The fact they never mentioned this to yoda was their big mistake and made their deaths inevitable. It was probably the only way they could uncover a sith in the senate.

0:17 Didn’t you do a video a long time ago that stated Palpatine’s Midichlorian count was 11,000, Yoda’s was 12,000, Luke’s was 18,000, and Anakin’s was 20,000?

[@samcarey6200]

That’s not true

[@alsimmonshellspawn6021]

Wrong in all ways casual

[@earth_4.5bil]

There are no canon numbers, it’s just that Yoda < 20,000. Luke and Anakin > 20,000 each. Palpatine > Yoda

[@johnpesiri3806]

Mine is over a million

[@earth_4.5bil]

@@johnpesiri3806 you’re the chosen one

[@Michael59197]

Somehow, Palpatine avoided the blood test.

[@WealthTransferTC]

They should have developed some kind of tech like Dragonball that can see the power level

[@Omnipulsar]

it shouldn't take a jedi padawan to come up with this idea, the jedi knew there was a sith somewhere in the senate so they should of came up with this idea on there own but who am i to judge. these are the same people who were given every hint of palpatines true intentions and didn't listen for a single one of them. dooku could of told obi wan palpatine is the sith and the jedi still wouldn't know who sidious is

[@wtfamiactuallyright1823]

Very cool story, this one.

[@t.w.videos1739]

Always wondered what palpatine did with him and man that was brutal

[@123ered]

Its an interesting story, one one side the senate should potentially trust the jedi because they already do, on the other hand its a universe where there is a clone war, and there is an entire race devoted to cloning, in that instance it might not be so far fetched to have suspicions of why they need a genetic sample of everyone on the senate. Imagine if this had actually happened in canon before the clone wars movies and then it played into the senate believing Palpatine's accusations of the Jedi trying to overthrow the republic, that would have been an insane reversal by Palpatine.

[@Crakinator]

Palpatine’s true greatest strength is his ability to think quickly. He instantly adapts to any situation and knows exactly what he needs to do to achieve his ideal outcome. He’s like a chess grandmaster planning and predicting moves many turns in advance, only he’s playing chess against the entire galaxy. And he wins 😂

[@OrangeHatReviews]

Vidar Kim was in the Plagueis Novel. I do remember that. The whole situation of his father and such also explained in the novel. But I was unaware of the Merson Slaughter including that storyline, interesting to say the least. But unfortunate to have Filoni's taint attached to it.

Since midiclorians exist in every cell, couldn't one take, for example a cell from a shed hair, ( the root bulb of the hair is still living for a short time after the hair is shed ), and get the count that way?

My guy where was the stream last night 😢

[@fantasymangacomicvisionary5688]

So the question is still even more. Why didn't Palpatine/Lord Sidious confront The Fallen Fake Jedi Sith in Dooku for telling Obi-Wan about him? This is why I love True Jedi Knights in Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Mace Windu plus True Sith Lords like Darth Sidious, Darth Plagueis, and Darth Tenebrous, not these Off Code Jedi or Fallen Fake Jedi Siths

[@jakstorm3180]

The jedi seem to be very dumb for all the wisdom they are supposed to have

[@PatMiller-mz2bu]

20,000 it was above Yoda and Luke the only one outmatch that was pre Darth Vader

[@lordofpain3476]

How dare the jedi ask such a personal invasion of privacy ? Does their religious persecution know any bounds ?

[@ilovebook95]

if only r2-d2 could pull a 007 (?) mission of subtly swabbing Palpatine's blood for Midi-chlorian count, then history would have changed
