if you join us hey guys how are you doing today
so something really interesting about Star Wars is that the novelizations of
the movies are actually quite different in various scenes than you would think
there's a lot of extra dialogue a lot of extra scenes and we really get to go
into the minds of the characters during really pivotal moments in today's video
I want to go over something that I found really interesting and I think you will
too it takes place during the invisible hand ship during the fight between
Anakin and Dooku now this is at the point where obi-wan is already warded
away with the force and out of the picture and during this time which I'm
gonna make a separate video on itself because it's like three or four pages
long Dooku is explaining in his mind or rather revealing to the reader what he
actually starts to realize about Anakin and what he really starts to see before
him as Anakin is slowly transforming and even reveals that he's already half Sith
anyways in today's video I'm gonna go over something that gives us a bit of
insight as to what Anakin sees as he's fighting Dooku near the end just before
he actually defeats him so here it is when Count Dooku flies at him blade
flashing whatõs fist cracks out from Anakin's childhood to knock the Sith
Lord tumbling back when with all the power that the dark side can draw from
throughout the universe Dooku hurls a jagged fragment of the Durasteel table
Shmi Skywalker 'he's gentle murmur I knew you would come for me
Anakin smashes it aside his head had been filled with the smoke from his
smothered heart for far too long it has been the Thunder that darkens his mind
on our ganar on GEB in in the Tuscan camp on Tatooine that smoke had clouded
his mind had blinded him and left him flailing in the dark a mindless machine
of slaughter but here now within this ship this microscopic cell of life in
the infinite sterile desert of space his firewalls have opened so that the terror
and the rage are out there in the fight instead of in his head and Anakin's mind
is clear as a crystal bell in that pristine Claire
there is only one thing he must do decide so he does he decides to win so
the main thing I want to talk about here is that Anakin really starts to draw on
his emotions and this is something that the Sith are notorious for whereas the
Jedi really trying to stay away from they want to keep a level head whereas
the Sith want to use every single experience they have in fact they
encourage to have all of these attachments and all of these things to
go on with their lives because all of them elicit emotions and from that they
can draw their strength now for a little added context a few pages before this
Anakin was becoming too powerful for Dooku and Dooku actually just had to
make fun of him a little bit and taunt him which shook Anakin out of his power
and almost dethroned him from being able to kill him and it explains this in
great detail as Dooku is talking about what he's doing and what he sees from
Anakin when he taunts him how Anakin is just entirely afraid of his fear and of
his rage and of a letting go in general of what would happen if he actually used
the rage within him but then Palpatine piped up when he saw that Anakin was
shook and tells him to use this rage that it's your weapon and that's really
all it took for Anakin to become this machine that just kills Dooku in the end
but during that he sees all of these things when he's fighting the Sith Lord
he's not even seeing Dooku at that point he's just seeing you know whatto and
treating him like the slave that he was and then when Dooku hurls that table at
him which I think would have been a really cool scene to see in the film
which we didn't get probably because of pacing or whatever Anakin sees his
mother being rescued by him on Tatooine no longer a slave I knew you'd come for
me it just goes to show more about Anakin's character arts that he's
entirely emotional and that he's got a lot of baggage he's got a lot of
hang-ups on a lot of things that really show you that this guy is quite unstable
when it comes to not giving in to his emotions because he has so many that
have been locked up for so long and so finally when order 66 comes around or
just about we finally get all of those locked up emotions unlocked and
exploding and well the rest is history I hope you enjoyed this little video I'm
gonna be covering more from the the SIP novel and I hope you find it
interesting too the stuffs pretty sweet have an awesome rest every day and I'll
see you in the next video until then remember the force will be with you
always
