This scene really explains why Palpatine was so sure Luke would turn after he defeated Vader until he threw his lightsaber away. If he can get Jedi as wise Dooku & as powerful as Anakin to start the path down the Dark Side after killing in cold blood as... the result of a duel, why shouldn't it have worked a third timeshow more

Luke never had the military style training, the combat wariness. He never had time to aggrandize his own achievements or be renowned for his accomplishments. His humility was his only saving grace - and a very important lesson for any would be Jedi.

Palpatine literally used the exact same psychological playbook for 50 years and it worked flawlessly until a farm boy from Tatooine decided he’d rather get electrocuted to death than kill his dad. Luke throwing that lightsaber away is still the ultimate power move in cinema history. 😭

Dooku was wise to leave the Jedi. I don't think the same can be said about his decision to serve Palpatine. It's a shame his wisdom only worked one way.

It’s to show as a Jedi, their greatest lessons come from failure. Luke is nothing like the old Jedi order, that he is something more. Ben and Yoda wanted him to be better than them, to insure he acknowledged the mistakes they (and past Jedi) made so he wouldn’t do the same.

Eh, I prefer the EU's version of Yaddle's death. Getting blown up by a gangster that was getting investigated by the jedi. Filoni's version makes Dooku too evil. Dooku never fell to the dark side, he did not have sith eyes. He used the dark side, but it did not corrupt him.

Fatal misunderstanding by Palpatine if so. Both dooku and anakin were able to be manipulated due to the jedi orders rigidness, actually playing to dookus and anakins good intentions. There was no similar foil for Luke. There was no basis for his turn like a jedi order.

Now I can't wait until Mando is old and grey and Grogu starts growing hair like Yaddle. Maybe Disney will put Grogu in frosted tips or have a bleach-blonde surf bum look. LMAO. 🤣😂 Hair on that species was a hilarious mistake.

You don’t appreciate peace until life gives you a reason to miss it.

The lesson to learn with Dooku is that a good man who expects good in others and finds nothing but dissonance and inaction can become evil out of necessity. I am afraid to say I deeply understood Dooku after this moment. Deeply empathize.

Palpatine is the ultimate kind of evil

I hate to be semantical but killing following a duel is the OPPOSITE of killing in cold blood. His blood is LITERALLY still pumping.

Yoda tenía pelo?

What is this?

Unlike for them, Luke found another way, believed in his father to remember the man he was

"oh I've been betrayed" 🔥

That cackle always get me palpatine was to good

Was this written in the 80s?

"wise" used to mean something

And he tried to do it a third time by trying to seduce Rey into killing him, taking in his essence and becoming empress though this time HE was his own target. Still failed of course.

@grok what series is this?

which show is this?

Is that yoda?

Count Dooku the only person that fought 2 of yoda spieces so far.

First I was like and 😀 then I was like 😁 - the gears smile

but yoda was dookus master

Facts 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

NO , both of them are idiots Luke is not the same Who tf will turn to the dark side because he had nightmares about his wife 🫩

If he’s would’ve just shut the fuck up it WOULD have worked lmao

Unlike Dooku, I wouldn't have hesitated because I hate Yaddle so much.

Palpatine was defeated by nepotism, change my mind

from what is this
