This was Anakins first step towards the Dark Side? Not slaughtering an entire village, non combatants included, children included?

I think that it has more to do with cloning and use of force than pure force alchemy

I don’t get why anakin was so shook about dooku when he literally massacred a whole tribe of tusken raiders 3 years earlier. I know both screwed with him, but I feel like him murdering dooku is a much smaller offense. I don’t see this as a writing flaw. It’s more of a character flaw which adds to complex psychology of anakin/vader

HE COULD NEVER BE A TRUE SITH. HARD TO BELIEVE SUCH A SNOWFLAKE CAME FROM A DESERT PLANET WITH 2 SUNS. 😂 OI...VEY

Imagine a world where Qui Gon trained Anakin and then Dooku was able to shape and refine him further.

Another great video dude

I see the story of Anakin as the ultimate tragedy/redemption story, and it fully reveals the paradox of choice. As you say, becoming a Sith is a series of choices, but did Anakin really have a choice at any point? What would have needed to be different, in order that he could have made a different choice? He had a destiny to fulfill. I've appreciated his redemption far more as an adult, than I did as a child, it has even helped me heal some of my own traumas.

Kit Fisto used a lightwhip. Seems like a skilled user could use it to great effect being able to deflect at range, block attacks against allies, trip up opponents and keep distance between the user and their enemy. Very flexible if hard to master, and it can't get tangled up in an opponent's lightsaber: the user can just switch it on an off to reset it!

So ashamed Maul tried the exact same tactic against Obi-Wan and got rekt for it

The space witches aren't bound to the patriarchal institutions of logic, continuity, or even storytelling for that matter.

I would ask you to drop Canon and Disney altogether. Legends is Star Wars.

It's the biggest mistake Palpatine made, the reason he failed in the end. Leaving Dooku alive gives Anakin someone to disarm the Separatists before he goes ham in the control room. To start the process of dismanteling the things that will fall into the Rebel's hands

Disney is literally just wiping their ass with the franchise by making all this garbage. They don't care about the lore, they only care about money. And they commercialize everything they get their hands on to make as much money as possible. Granted, they have more money than god thanks to their strategy, but when you do that with an IP that you did not develop yourself, you're basically just flushing it all down the shitter. And we're seeing that process play out in real time.

Even in a world far far away black kids still don’t have fathers lol.

I never knew any of this

Anakins life is a tragedy itself

I didn't know Luke took an entire month to construct his lightsaber. I really appreciate the info!

Ah, doesn't matter, I'm sure some random chick already did the same thing 100 years ago...

Cause he had to take over and do all his paperwork?

Dooku had his mother brutalized and tortured to death. Anakin was right to have killed him despite not knowing it

Amazing look into the troubled mind of Anakin Skywalker.

Just sad for Disney for Star Wars for the country just a sad commentary on where we are at right now

Day 522 of asking for a part 3 of what if anakin was trained by qui gon

Sidious got Anakin addicted to mountain dew so he'd be conditioned to act when he heard "dew it" 🤣

Anakin was an illustration of what happens when a troubled hero lives long enough to become an even greater villain and monster. He's also an illustration of what happens when one gives into ones most extreme emotions and allows their thinking to be controlled by them. Love in extreme can lead to jealousy. Jealousy can lead to hate and anger. Hate can lead to even greater pain and misery. Until that all that someone has left. And by that time? They won't even remember what love felt like or why it mattered.

I can't believe Anakin would do anything to hurt Qui's sweet old master. You know the Dukemister actually let Qui-gon have 2 scoops of ice cream on his 27th birthday.

Great video and great analysis of anakins emotional state at the time

Always figured was due not so much that HE killed Dooku but clearly the circumstances of HOW since Dooku was finally beaten an at his mercy. An probably felt all the worse an mistrustful of the rest of his fellow Jedi as even all the Council seemed all to happy to find out Anakin had FINALLY got rid of what MANY, even his personal critics, like Windu (at first) an Obi Wan, had even "yadda, yaddaed away the ending.. Something similar to "yeah he was an ass an traitor Anakin, he took your arm, was a traitor to us all... Lets go grab a beer..."

@5:50 i TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS! None of the shows are long enough to me to be even called a show. Give me a show with at least 10 ep and at least 45 min long not 7 shows and poor writing. Star wars or self is GRAND, the shows need to feel that easy as well.

Another great video always learning something new about my favorite character anakin

😅The darkside is like a drug. Palpatine is the drug lord, feeding lies to Anakin.

Anakin Skywalker: "I regret killing Count Dooku because Christopher Lee is one of my favorite actors." RIP Christopher Lee🪦

He knew Luke only partakes of the most fabulous blue and green milks the galaxy has to offer.

But Palpatine notoriously lacked the ability of foresight, so how could he have a vision of Luke killing him with ease?

What you said may be right, but I think you're overlooking something. It goes back to how his life on Tatooine. As Shmi said, "The Republic didn’t exist on Tatooine." To Anakin, to Shmi, and to the others at Mos Espa and elsewhere in the Outer Rim, the Republic was a distant paradise, where all the problems seemed to have been solved. But none of them were living in paradise. Anakin, Shmi, and all the others were good people trying to survive. They had to resort to your own resources to survive. They had to do whatever you must to survive. They didn’t care about the means. All they cared about was the end - their survival. That extended to other things as well. When they were wronged, they’re going to do whatever they could, whatever they must to correct it. Whether they acted out of justice, retribution, or revenge, it didn’t matter. All that mattered was that the one who wronged them was punished. And they were going to do all that whether it met the approval of the Republic or not. Whether it meets the approval of the Jedi or not. That stuck with him ever since he left Tatooine. His childhood on Tatooine had shaped his way of thinking, and no amount of Jedi teaching could or would ever undo that. And over the course of the war, he did what he felt was necessary to save others.. And he didn't care how he went about it. Tal Merrik was one example. Choking Poggle the Lesser to learn how to save Ahsoka and Barriss was another. In his mind, and from how he grew up, the ends justified the means. From his viewpoint, neither the Jedi nor Padmé could ever understand that because they didn't grow up the way he did. Did his time on Tatooine make him vulnerable to the dark side? Yes. Was he an agent of evil? No. I would call him a dark hero. He said he shouldn't have killed Dooku. But look back to his life on Tatooine. Neither he, nor his mother, nor the people of Mos Espa ever received justice from the Republic. Naboo never received justice for what happened in TPM. Honestly, I don't think Anakin believes in Republic justice. To him, justice is seeing the Separatists leaders dead. I said he wanted them - Dooku, Grievous, Gunray, and all the rest dead. Not necessarily that he wanted to kill them, though there were three exceptions - Dooku, Grievous, and Gunray. Gunray's obvious. Dooku - for his hand. Grievous - for all the Jedi he had killed. If Anakin were presented with the opportunity to kill them, he would have taken it. Gunray, Tambor, and Poggle were taken prisoner at one point, yet they were all free and leading the Separatists in ROTS. We saw how Gunray escaped, but we don't know how the other two did. The Republic had them in custody. In Anakin's mind, the Republic had the chance to interrogate them, learn what they knew, then execute them. And the opportunity slipped through their fingers. He wasn't going to take the chance of that happening here, even if he had already severed Dooku's hands. He can feel regret all he wants, but deep, deep down in him, he felt completely justified here. In his mind, Dooku was going to be sentenced to death for his acts, so he delivered it. Sooner than planned, but... If the Jedi and the Republic had a problem with that, then maybe they should have been more decisive and more active in delivering justice to Tatooine and the Outer Rim Territories long ago. If they had, then maybe things could have been a lot better. The Clone Wars would never have happened. And maybe his dark path could have been avoided all together.

Wow paralleling Anakin’s regret and shame in killing Dooku with Mace Windu about to kill Sidious is an amazing insight.

Dooku was un "unarmed prisoner" Lol

Keep making videos about true Star Wars topics, please no more Acolyte videos. That sh¡tshow is NOT Star Wars man.

I don't have a problem with this. How do we know that the twins aren't the will of the Force? I think that before anyone judges this, we should get to the end of the story.

And yet people wail about The Acolyte's Force experiments be lore breaking.

Also if you remember theres no way anikan would have been able to rescue the chancellor, carry obi wan, and keep dooku as a captive, while also having to deal with grevious.

I loved where Anakin called Ahsoka "Snips". That was so cool!! Yes, I love how Anakin let Vader surface. The first time I saw it, I was wondering if Vader was coming out on his own, but after a few times of watching this, he was voluntarily channeling Vader. He had control. Vader did not consume.

I remember when that comic book of episode 3 came out (that you are image referencing) and how it came out like a month before the movie.. my 14 year old self didn’t have the discipline to not read it 1000 times and essentially spoil the movie.

"Dooku was an unarmed prisoner" I see what you did there

By the way ROTS goes I think Obi-wan thought Anikan was a sith directly after killing Dooku

Painful, just thinking about it.

I love that pic at 1:01

anakin was the biggest hypocrite he didn’t wanna kill dooku “bc it wasn’t the jedi way” but soon as palpatine said do it he did it but when windu wanted to kill palatine his ass wanted to intervene for his selfish reasons 💀

A person like Anakin might feel good about vengeance for a moment, but then it comes back to haunt them. Which is why forgiveness and showing mercy on an enemy is better than killing him or her. Mercy and forgiveness can make the world a better place, whereas revenge and malice only makes things worse , and may even result in another wanting vengeance on the one who takes revenge through murder.

I wonder if there's anything in the star wars books that tell what could have happened if the council had explained to anakin why they wanted him to spy on Palpatine would anakin have been more willing to spy on Palpatine had he understood why the council wanted him to spy on him
