Honestly, I felt kind of bad for him here.
>>220551190if you read the RotS novel its even worse because him and palps had been talking about their whole grand plan and everything before this and the plan was to convert anakin but then he gets overwhelmed and palps goes 'lol kill him' and thats when dooku realizes he's been completely played
>>220551190the more you know about dooku the more you know he was the good guy
>>220551190>>220551254well,he had it coming
>It was at this moment that Count Dooku knew *dramatic pause* he fucked up.
play stupid games, win stupid prizes
>>220551190I didn't. He could have said 'Anakin, HE'S the Sith Lord!' and saved the galaxy, but instead he froze like a deer in the headlights. Contemptible.
>>220551190Do lightsaber blades have weight or is it like fighting with big laser pointers?
>>220551346weightless blade and a heavy hilt its why its hard to use them without training
>>220551346Lucas once said they were supposed to handle like claymores back in the original trilogy but they look lightweight in the prequels as a way to show the jedi at their peak.
>>220551346this>>220551377>>220551387but also we can jsut bullshit that an activated crystal handles diferent. something something force resistance to being handled be plebs
>yeah, I think I'll make the same thread again
>>220551254I always kind of assumed that the Sith accepted the rule of two, and when they had their eyes on a new apprentice, there was a mutual understanding that one of them would have to go. I thought Tyrannus's shock was more due to the suddenness of it. He not only didn't know that he would be the one to go, but he also simply didn't expect it to happen on that day.
>>220551346I had an incredibly vivid dream once where I was a Jedi fighting zombies, so I can say with authority: no. Lightsabers have neither weight nor mass, however, when you cut through something, you get a minute degree of resistance. You know how when you're a kid and it's summer and you've got the hose and your friend is nearby and you squirt him and the hose pushes into your hand from the added resistance...? Like that. Also, when you use the Force to move something, like bash open a door, there is the tiniest sense of tactile feedback. You feel it, just barely.
>>220551316One second you're working with the guy, the next, he's telling someone to chop your head off. Add the fact that you've just lost both of your hands, and it's kind of a lot to process all at once.
>>220551507Feh. First he lost his head, then he lost his head.
In the prequels when Anakin gets his hand cut off his replacement hand is some robot skeleton hand claw, and he's provided for. In ESB it's indistinguishable on the outside as a prosthetic and Luke has it installed on some fucking refugee rebel alliance med bay ship. Did this kind of technology really progress this far in 20~ years?
>>220551449palps mostly bullshits him on that i dont remember it exactly but theyre talking in that room before this about how they'll eventually found the empire and dooku will lead some version of the inquisitors which anakin would be the first one of. he never expected to die that day though and especially for palpatine to betray him. its a decent book
>>220551190>Dooku had Palpatine chained up on his flagship with Grievous and thousands of droids at his disposal>didn't kill Palpatine and assume the mantle of Sith MasterDooku failed as a Sith and had to be replaced.
>>220551449>I always kind of assumed that the Sith accepted the rule of two, and when they had their eyes on a new apprentice, there was a mutual understanding that one of them would have to goit was meant to be that the master would go after the apprentice became strong enough to kill them
>>220551190this film is insanely gay,he was a lot better as Saruman
>>220551634Oh yeah?
>>220551190Real talk, what would you have done in this situation?
>>220551254Dooku became too comfortable with Palpatine thinking he was "in". Should have fucking stayed working as an architect or whatever.
Dooku must have made a Dooku.
I have come to the realisation that I want to bang Shmi Skywalker
>>220551254>if you read the RotS novelNot in the filmNot applicable Just gay fan wankery.
>>220551190Not me, retard should have outrd Palpatine immediately. I swear Palpatine only succeeded because everyone in the prequels are retards.
>>220552512He was just trying to process the situation that he had just found himself in.
brought it upon himself by being evil
>>220551577I genuinely think Palpatine could solo them all without even undoing his restraints.
Why didn't he betray palpy though? Did he think he had more time to come up with something to say? It didn't look like he accepted the loss. A simple "Anakin, wait!" would have given him time to think.
>>220553660Dooku understood that for their plan to corrupt Anakin, him and Palpatine would pretend to be enemies and that Palpatine is officially Anakin's Commander-in-Chief in their duel, so Palpatine rooting for Dooku's loss is still part of the plan. It slowly escalated to Palpatine directly ordering his execution and Dooku didn't know if this was still part of the plan or what Palpatine was thinking. He realized he was in mortal danger but I don't think he had enough time to truly understand what was happening.
>>220551577>Dooku failed as a Sith and had to be replaced.Dooku was never much of a true Sith at heart. He literally fell to the dark side because of how corrupt the Republic/Jedi had become, trampling over the poor, weak, and innocent.Then he joined an ideology who’s central tenant is>There is no mercy.It’s not really clear how much Sidious hid from Dooku (a lot). I don’t think Dooku even realize that the Confederacy was supposed to lose.
>>220551254>trade federation green guys; "Palpatine said we could leave in peace">le evil Anakin: "He meant IN PIECES"That's my only recollection of the novel
>>220551190Never join the dark side.
i literally thought dooku was the coolest thing in episode 2. i even got his curved lightsaber but fucked it up in an intense lightsaber battle. he went out like such a bitch in 3
>>220551603In the Bane Novels, even Bane tries to sidestep of the Rule of Two by the end (he literally invented it). The one constant of the Sith is that they’re selfish hypocrites to the very end.Also, Revan sort of starts the Rule of Two. Malak tries to off Revan, and Revan takes his jaw. Then Malak later just blows up Revan’s ship, which doesn’t really seem in the spirit of the rule. Malak, of course, never actually becomes stronger than Revan.Also, Sidious offed Plageuis while he was sleeping. How is that fair?The Rule of Two is dumb, but it’s not meant to be rational.
>>220554059I had a really cool Anakin's lightsaber (for 2002 at least) and my friend broke it. He broke my toys consistently throughout my childhood. He was lower middle class and I was true middle class, and every time I got something cool, he'd promptly come over to my house to break it. With the Anakin's lightsaber, he just started bashing it against the ground until it broke. I fucking hated that guy. Never be friends with someone poorer than you.
>>220551190>evil people are surprised that other evil people do evil things and do those things to other evil peopleTale as old as time, tune as old as song.
>>220553987>don't joint Sith>don't joint Jedi>wield both light and dark without being a faggotit's really that simple
>>220552476Before or after the rapes?
>>220551190I'm push my pants down with the stubs of my wrists and start jacking myself off with my wrists. What the fuck is Anakin gonna do?
>>220551190That's because you're a god damn moron.
>>220555290On thing to add to this, I'd also look Anakin directly in the eyes while jacking myself off with my wrists. And I'd jack myself off really slowly.
>>220551190That is definitely a "this muthafukka" face
>>220551190I'd say to Palpatine, "I have good news for you, my lord. The war has begun." because I'd be trying to think about the positive things in life in what could be my final moments to take my mind off of what is happening, even though it's more than obvious by now that the war has begin. But then I'd realize that I fucked up and wasn't supposed to call him "my lord" in front of people, so I'd tell Anakin that I just call people in high places of power "my lord" as a habit.
>>220553925>I am your reward, you don't find me handsome?
>>220551190You're supposed to laugh. The bullshit story Obi-Wan tells Luke about how his dad "died" after "Vader was seduced by the Dark Side of the Force" is what actually did happen to Dooku, only he played both the seduced and the betrayed.
