This article contains spoilers for Star Wars: The Bad Batch episode 3.Surprisingly, Star Wars: Bad Party He suggested that Count Dooku became a sort of hero for the rebellion during the Dark Times of the Empire’s reign. More than a decade before the Clone Wars began, Palpatine began pulling Dooku to the dark side and may even have forced the Jedi Master to leave the Jedi Order. Dooku claimed the ancestral throne on the planet Serenno, a world historically often an important leader among the Outer Rim planets. He used this position to become the leader of a group known as the Separatists.
The Separatists began as a political movement, but the Sith always planned to use them to incite war across the galaxy. The Clone Wars was the ultimate Jedi decoy designed to drive Jedi off Coruscant and kill them on battlefields far from the Galactic Core. Jedi are unfit for war; War is naturally aggressive and a good soldier is one who aspires to domination, but both of these traits belong to the dark side. It ended the Clone Wars when Palpatine summoned Order 66, and few Jedi were able to connect with the Light strong enough to sense the impending betrayal. Dooku had already been slain, killed by Anakin Skywalker as part of his return to the dark side, and the Separatist leaders were slain before long. When the Clone Wars calmed down, only Palpatine had really won.
Dooku’s Warnings About Republic Fulfilled in Palpatine
Surprisingly, Star wars It reveals that Dooku was still respected by the Separatists after the Clone Wars ended. It’s important to remember that few knew Dooku had fallen to the dark side, many believed that he was a former Jedi who believed the Republic was becoming increasingly authoritarian. From this perspective, the end of the Clone Wars seemed to confirm everything Dooku had taught. He was right about the Jedi leading the Republic army before turning his back on Chancellor Palpatine. And—whether motivated by fear of the Jedi or simply by a desire for power—he was right about Palpatine turning the Republic into an Empire. Every instance of transgressing the imperial frontiers strengthened Dooku’s claim; In Princess Leia’s words, the more the Empire squeezed the galaxy, the more plausible Dooku’s arguments became.
It is important to remember that the movement that would become the Early Rebel Alliance was not really born in the Galactic Core. He was born in the Outer Rim, where separatist beliefs remained strong. The most loyal beings tended to be non-humans, victims of the Empire’s prejudice, and many of their races sided with the Separatists during the Clone Wars. Palpatine has a strange feeling that the Clone Wars created the conditions for the Rebel Alliance, and Dooku’s message was a big part of that.
Star Wars Gives Dooku An Unexpected Legacy
All this gives Dooku a very surprising legacy. He is the Sith Lord, defending and even voicing his passions for those who will become sworn enemies of the Sith. Since their origins, the Sith have been fascinated by their vision of the future; Palpatine liked to pretend that everything was as he had predicted. But he could never have guessed that the Separatist movement would become the seed of the Rebellion and that his apprentice would have an unexpected legacy that would ultimately destroy the Empire. Star Wars: Bad Party indeed, it gave Dooku a much more complex, sophisticated role in the history of the galaxy.
