if you would join us everyone and welcome back to another video
now Count Dooku was molded by two unique powerful masters Yoda and Sidious alike
powerful beings at the opposite end of the spectrum yet who at the same time
shared many similarities similarities Dooku is musing over as he awaits his
sister's arrival in the industrial complex known as the works on Coruscant
in James Luciano's labyrinth of evil we're gonna go over something that's
quite interesting here it's the old EU book I've been going over with you guys
that follows Anakin's and Obi Wan's last adventure before the start of episode 3
and as Dooku compares the 800 plus year old sage with the being that is the
embodiment of a thousand years of Sith teachings he recalls his duel with a
diminutive Grandmaster of Genesis in Attack of the Clones
the outcome of which is very different in Dooku's mind than how Yoda remembers
it and how a lot of fans actually think the fight went of his youth Sidious had
offered little these past 13 years of his master Darth Plagueis even less more
than once it had occurred to do cou that Sidious and Yoda had certain qualities
in common principally that neither was entirely what he appeared to be that is
made frail by age or by the intensity required to master the Sith or Jedi arts
on Geonosis Yoda's easy pairing and indeed handling of the Sith Lightning
Dooku hurled at him had come as a surprise had made him wonder if on some
level during the course of Yoda's 800 odd years the Jedi Master hadn't delved
into the dark arts if only as a means of familiarizing himself with his perceived
enemy and on Vernon only months ago Yoda himself had admitted as much carry
our darkness with me I do he had said Yoda probably believed that he had
defeated Dooku on Geonosis but in fact Dooku had only fled the fight to
safeguard the plans he had been carrying the technical readouts - what would one
day become the ultimate weapon are there other ways you can think of how Yoda and
cities are alike do you believe Duke who actually
retreated for the Death Star plans and wasn't really afraid of Yoda do you
think he could have out powered him even now something also interesting here is
that Yoda says that the darkness he carries within him this is something we
can also see from the Clone Wars when Yoda fought his dark side self just
before he met Bane or at least the Sith ghost of him and mind you this was all
on Corbin the dark side planet of the Sith now what a lot of people don't
understand is that everyone has the dark side within them but it's whether you
choose to emphasize that or not just as everyone has the light side in them this
is also something mace windu says to Obi one when he's talking about how Obi Wan
is now the master of source su mace windu starts telling him how he created
vapor to channel the darkness within him and this is also indicative of his
purple lightsaber which is red and blue light and dark good and evil Jedi and
Sith and that's something that made mace windu such an interesting character is
that he was able to harness that darkness within him and use it for good
channel it in another way and this is something that I guess Yoda is talking
about as well when Dooku talks about Yoda handling the
force lightning that he hurled at him it makes you wonder if Yoda had actually
ever used force lightning himself to really understand how to ricochet that
now there is a force power called to terminus which allows you to actually
hold a lightsaber blade for a brief amount of time depending on your force
ability also to control or deflect or absorb force lightning which is what
Yoda did it's a very advanced technique and it's not something that you see
every Jedi do because smart and they'd just be holding lightsabers with their
hands and wouldn't really matter anymore who had a lightsaber so with being so
old I like how Dooku actually thinks maybe
Yoda did turn to the dark side once maybe not because he was evil or he was
actually turning to the dark side because he was assist or wanted to be
one but because he wanted to understand a broader view of the force now of
course this negates everything that the Jedi are about at least in today's day
and age with what Palpatine says to Anakin whereas the Jedi just view the
force and dogmatically but Yoda was around for almost a thousand years so I
could see him definitely trying to learn different aspects of the force and
experimenting with it so these are all interesting little things that we can
think about and I wonder if they're going to add upon this stuff in the
future now with these books such
labyrinth of evil and Revenge of the Sith novelizations and this and that I
find when it comes to anything before the sequels whatever book was created
during George Lucas's time I think those are canon in my opinion I just feel like
if George wrote off on those or if he accepted those as being you know that
pre lewd or the sequel to after Revenge of the Sith or like this one the prequel
to Revenge of the Sith labyrinth of evil by James Wilson oh then that would make
it in my mind Canon at least now I know it's a very controversial thing to say
but in my opinion I just think that that's really what George would have
wanted and for me I'm a George Lucas Star Wars fan so I'm gonna leave you
guys with that let me know what you think about all this in the comments
below and I'll see you in the next video thanks for watching until then remember
the force will be with you always
