Why Palpatine Was JEALOUS of Dooku - Star Wars Explained

Palpatine was the mighty Sith Lord pulling all the strings of the Clone Wars behind the scenes, cloaked in the dark side...but even with all of his power, he found himself somewhat jealous of Darth Tyrannus, Count Dooku himself. Why was this? Jealous of Qui-Gon Jinn? Being a Jedi? Being close to Yoda? His powers? What was it really?

[@grandadmiralzaarin4962]

To quote Ventress in Dark Rendezvous , "You must stand too much in his sun Count. He'll use you up and cast you aside, then replace you with someone younger, more pliable." Dooku held great influence in the Galaxy, wealthy without rival, one of the greatest swordsmen and Force users in the galaxy. The Sith Grand Plan owes an incalculable amount to Tyranus. He funded the GAR, found Jango Fett for the Clone Army while also eliminating the Bando Gora as a threat in the same plan, he unified and built the CIS with his charisma, reputation and diplomatic skills turning the disparate fragments into a functional threat all without the Jedi realizing it. He recruited and trained Ventress, Grievous, Durge and the Dark Adepts, he caused a schism in the Jedi Order and held back from killing Anakin several times throughout the war while helping Palpatine increase his own political power. Palpatine literally could not have pulled off his plan without Dooku. With all of that and Dooku nearing the end of knowledge he could learn as a Sith apprentice, it was time to replace him with someone younger and easier to manipulate. Dooku would never have rivaled Palpatine in power, but he could have in influence and that was a threat.

Compared to Darth Maul and Vader, Dooku was not only very powerful in the Force, he was very intelligent and charismatic when it comes to politics and strategy. This is likely why Plagueis was interested in Dooku as an Apprentice in contrast to Maul who is relegated as a Sith Assassin.

[@matthewmann8969]

True Plagueis And Sidious both showed more interest in Dooku then Maul seeing Dooku as a powerful ally even when Dooku was still a Jedi in TPM circa Dooku was naturally gifted in the force and his mastery and potential and midichlorian count was no joke it was slightly higher then Plaguies and others including Mace and everyone else except for Sidious, Yoda, The Skywalkers, Mereks, Abeloth, Father, Son, And Daughter oh yeah. Also Dookus philosophy and political acumen as well as wealth and status and influence as well as lightsaber skills also saw him as someone they wanted on there side for those reasons too. Maul was useful for his unarmed combat skills and for his use with a double bladed lightsaber that most force users were not ready for and that was pretty much it in Legends at least based on most statements and Anakin was useful for not only for his great force potential even higher then The Mereks, Yodas, Sidious, Abeloth, The Father, The Son, And The Daughter as well as his piloting, mechanical, military, and lightsaber skills as well.

Dooku is and has always been my favorite character in the Star Wars series. I believe Palpatine had Dooku intentionally lose his duel to Anakin in order to coerce or manipulate Anakin in turning to the Dark side unbeknownst that Palpatine would use that opportunity to have him killed. This further supports the theory that Palpatine was threatened by what Dooku could become.

[@Th3Nigma]

Dooku intentionally let Anakin cut his hands off? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 hmmmmmm.

[@tanekswain9451]

This is true. Palpatine ordered Dooku to only toy with Anakin prior to the actual duel. Dooku was only overpowered because toying with Anakin made Anakin use the dark side, and then Palpatine ordered Anakin to kill Dooku. Additionally, Palpatine needed Dooku dead not only because of he was a potential rival but because Palpatine wanted Anakin as an apprentice, which couldn’t happen while Dooku was an apprentice to Palpatine.

[@ajace5883]

I think Palp and Dooku were almost equally strong and powerful. Especially after hearing that story I wonder why Dooku accepted him as his master, despite him being younger than himself. It also could have been the other way around, imagine if Palp would've been Dookus apprentice.

[@crownprincesebastianjohano7069]

Sidious new more about the Dark Side so Dooku had to accept him as Master. And maybe they did duel and Sidious gained the upper hand because Dooku is legitimately afraid of Sidious. That said, Sidious also feared him. In Darth Plagueis it is made clear that Plagueis considered Dooku the better swordsman and a proper replacement for Sidious without losing much. Dooku is unique as a Sith Apprentice insofar as he was venerable a master himself of the highest level. Dooku could have easily been Grand Master of the Jedi or Lord Paramount of the Sith in his own right but for being alive in the time of Yoda and Palpatine. And for that reason he was always the biggest threat to Palpatine. Dooku could have killed Palpatine and not missed a beat as the Master Sith. And the grand plan still works, except with the CIS conquering the Republic. Dooku knew of Order 66 and no doubt could have given the order himself.

[@aflyingdorito208]

I think that after Palp killed Plaguise, he also absorbed his essence as part of the rule of 2, making him much more powerful. I can't remember where i heard this from though.

[@Philipp3022]

Dooku first was more interested in his idealist believe to reform the republic, destroy the huge corruption of the senate and the dogmatic static beliefs of the jedi council and safe/help his population on serano as count. somewhen there he turned dark and accepted sidious as leader who introduced him into the plan of the clone wars and funding the CIS with his diplomatic strengths. Such a great underrated character who wasnt that well unfolded in the movies and Clone Wars serie. From episode 2 it could be assumed that Dooku was maybe actually interested to get allied with Obi-Wan or the Jedis to overthrow Sidious before the clone wars starts/ends as he knew Sidious is playing CIS and Republic against each other to legitimate the forming of the empire and distract and eliminate the jedi order.

[@StevenLeitner]

It’s crazy that at the time Palps and Plageus looked at Dooku as more powerful than Palps as an apprentice, but then when Palps becomes the master and has Dooku as his apprentice, it’s clear Dooku is no match for Palps. There is definitely something to becoming the master, that when an apprentice kills his master, he gets a huge influx of power that he didn’t have before. However I think all along Palps was to be more powerful than Dooku IN THE DARKSIDE because of the kind of person he is. Palps is basically a sociopath and being that way basically feeds into everything that makes the dark side powerful in someone. Basically where someone like Dooku who is power hungry and dark but only at times and can turn it off and be sensible can never get as powerful as a sociopath like Palps who never turns it off...it’s all about himself and he doesn’t care about who he hurts or destroys...that’s why when Dooku becomes Palps apprentice he gets rag dolled and force choked and cowers to him because in no way can he beat Palps on his own...even though he’s powerful. PS...it’s a pretty boss move by Palps though...the person who your master was thinking about replacing you with...you make that person YOUR apprentice and force choke his a$$ and make him kneel down to you...that’s a Master Boss move by The Senate himself

The clone wars animation is the best star wars storytelling of the whole franchise IMO.

Dooku sucks

[@greecostyler]

Even count dooku is a antagonist i really like his figure. He is wise, intelligent a good fighter. And even darth plaguies favors him this means on a point he would be stronger than darth sidious. I really would like to see a fight between dooku and sidious. Did sidious train with dooku?

[@crownprincesebastianjohano7069]

It is implied, but there is really nothing Sidious could teach him about swordsmanship. But certainly has an insight in Force attacks that a Jedi might not.

Hey SWT, can you make a video on why Luke’s Green saber was hardly in the sequel trilogy? Why do you think it was only shown in a flashback and then completely ignored when Rey buried the other 2 sabers?

[@rburns9601]

He probably got rid of it after he went into exile

[@Grafitykilz]

It's mentioned in a book that there's a green lightsaber on the same planet as where rey picked up leia's lightsaber

[@kicapanmanis1060]

Wouldn't surprised me if he kept it on the island just like Leia's. The Force projection he did in 8 being the blue one also implied he didnt cherish it as much as the blue one. Also the entire present Sequel trilogy, Luke had no need for a lightsaber cos he gave up being a Jedi. The closest was when he fought Rey on the island but even then there was no time to grab it.

[@Namby]

That's a really good question! Would love to see a video made on this!

He lost his lightsaber in Return of the Jedi when he threw it off the bridge-thing while fighting Vader in the Death Star.

[@tristanlambert658]

I’d imagine if Palp was replaced and Dooku was the one groomed for a seat on the senate to resurrect the Sith empire he’d probably have done it better. Something tells me that Dooku’s past as a Jedi would play a big part in his empires defence against the Jedi order returning and given his past as a count I think he’d handle his politics better in general and make less enemies to his empire while still ruling with a strong hand. I think the only place Dooku would fall short in comparison is gaining an apprentice like Anakin.

[@Avenging_Archer]

Dooku was so powerful he instinctively used Force Lightning as a Padawan.

[@dixonb.tweenerlegs4225]

@@GambleMontessori Wouldn't be that much different. If Anakin dies, Palpatine would just rule the galaxy by himself. He already had enough political power to do it and enough force power to wipe out the remaining Jedi. But he would probably make his son or Rey take Vader's place down the line.

Dooku only lost to Anakin because he was just toying with him.

[@ultimatebladelock5212]

CawCaw KawKaw No, at best you partially attribute his loss to fatigue but in just about every adaptation of the fight Anakin legitimately overcomes Dooku. Edit: An excerpt from the ROTS novelization stating Dooku was not holding back- "[Dooku thought]: These clowns might-just possibly-actually be able to beat him. No sense taking chances; even his Master would agree with that. Lord Sidious could come up with a new plan more easily than a new apprentice." This sounds to me like he decided to take them on with full strength so as not to risk his own life.”

[@lukedekker315]

Ultimate Bladelock I thought I read somewhere that sidious wanted dooku to go soft on anakin. Dooku was arguably the beat swordsmen around. Sidious wouldn’t gamble that fight.

[@ultimatebladelock5212]

Luke Dekker The initial goal was to turn him yes but toward the end of the fight Dooku was fighting for his life. In the novel he was forced into a purely defensive stance no longer able to redirect and evade Anakin’s strikes eventually being overwhelmed. Logistically it makes sense Makashi’s weakness as a form is its lack of kinetic output.

[@RandomizationShow]

I agree with Ultimate Bladelock. Dooku’s lightsaber form, combined with his lesser stamina, gives him little chance against a force user that fights as aggressively as Anakin. Add in the fact that Anakin’s feelings about his severed hand were in the mix, and it’s no wonder that Dooku lost.

[@lukedekker315]

CawCaw KawKaw yeah anakin had potential to be the best ever but he was barely 23-24 years old. A lot to learn. There’s a reason why he lost to obi won, even though he was a sixth at that point

[@billyrayvalentine5079]

It seems to me that Darth Plagueis and Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus were a better match. Both seemed like they had no issue sharing power. They likely would have figured out immortality, built a Sith army, swaying Anakin easily to lead it since they truly knew how to save people from death. If this happened I think they would have been unstoppable. I would love to see a "what if" story on that.
