if you would join us hey everyone and welcome back to another video today
we're gonna cover another excerpt from the labyrinth of evil pages 61 to 62
chapter 11 even as a kid I remember when I first saw attack the clones seeing
Dooku was really a revelation for me it allowed me to see so many other darkside
users than the typical Darth Vader and Darth Maul prior to that episode you got
to see a very elegant and nobleman who was once actually a Jedi the master of
qui-gon jinn I was so intrigued I wanted to know more about Count Dooku why did
it leave the order how could he betray Master Yoda who was his mentor now of
course fast-forward 20 or so years later and we get our answers in Canon but one
of the things that stuck out to me the most was why did he reveal to obi-wan
that the Sith were around and their grand plan even that a Dark Lord is
controlling the Senate now luckily for the Sith at least the Jedi dismayed
Dooku and thought he was lying but what if they hadn't was this a plea for help
from Dooku was this the last part of him that was still in the light or just
another part of Sidious as elaborate machination and schemes today I'll give
you Obi ones and Yoda's thoughts on why Dooku told them I'm gonna go over
another excerpt from James Luciano's great book which is now legends
labyrinth of evil the story takes place just prior to episode 3 where thanks to
having discovered nute gunray's mech no chair that he uses to talk to Sidious
with the Jedi realizes that Dooku's Sith master actually does exist and that
Dooku might have told the truth back on Geonosis now before I begin reading
there will be mention of the Sith on Naboo who Obi one killed they obviously
mean Darth Maul now I just want to let you know that he is considered dead at
this point as this book was written far before the Clone Wars meaning before
they resurrected Darth Maul so let's begin the name Sidious had come up only
once since the war began on Genesis when Dooku had told an imprisoned obi-wan
that assist Lord by that name had hundreds of Republic senators under his
influence at the time ob1 assumed that Dooku was lying in order to persuade
obi-wan that he was still aligned with the Jedi although attempting to thwart
the powers of the dark side by his own methods and yet even after Dooku had
revealed himself to be sitt trained Yoda and others on the council
continue to believe that he had been lying about Sidious two council members
were convinced that Dooku was the Dark Lord having somehow tutored himself by
Seth holocron perhaps in the use of Darkseid powers
now that Sidious appeared to be real obi-wan didn't know what to think a hunt
for Dooku Sith allies had been going on almost since the start of the war Duke
who was known to have trained Jedi in the Dark Arts Jedi Knights who had lost
faith in the ideals of the Republic Padawans fascinated by the power of the
dark side misinformed novices such as asajj ventress who had been mentored by
a Jedi but the question remained who if anyone had been Dooku's teacher thirteen
years earlier when obi-wan had fought and killed a Sith on Naboo had he killed
a master or an apprentice the question was rooted in the belief that the Sith
having essentially defeated themselves a millennium earlier had learned that an
army of Sith could never stand and that there should be only two at any given
time lest a pair of apprentices conspire to combine their strengths to eliminate
a master more a doctrine than a rule but a doctrine that had managed to keep the
Sith order alive if well concealed for going on a thousand years but the horns
and tattooed Sith whom Obi one killed could not have trained Dooku
because Dooku had still been a member of the Jedi Order then as clouded as the
dark side made some things there was simply no way Dooku had been living a
double life within the walls of the temple itself Master Yoda obi-wan said
is it possible that Dooku wasn't lying about the Senate being under control of
Sidious Yoda gave his head a quick shake while they walked looked hard at the
Senate we did and risked much we did by doing so questioning in secret those we
serve but no evidence we found he glanced up at obi-wan if in control of
the Senate Sidious was would not defeated the Republic already P would
not to the Confederacy the core and inner rim belong Yoda paused for a
moment then added perhaps a Geonosis an accident it was that Dooku revealed
himself had he not searched we would have for Sidious leaving Dooku to
escalate his war what Thank You obi-wan hmm oh we went
folded his arms thought long and hard about that day
master and I believe Dooku couldn't help revealing himself even though he may
have regretted it when he was fleeing for his ship it was
almost as if he allowed himself to be seen almost as if he was attempting to
draw us into an engagement my first thought was that he was trying to ensure
the safe escape of Gunray and the other separatist leaders but my instincts tell
me that he wanted desperately to demonstrate how powerful he had become I
think he was genuinely surprised to see you turn up but instead of killing
Anakin or me he deliberately left us alive to send a message to the Jedi
right you are obi-wan pride undid him forced him it did to show us his true
face could he have been trained by this Sidious stands to reason it does
accepted by Sidious he was following the death of the one you killed so do you
guys agree with Yoda that Dooku revealed the truth by accident or was it pride
what about my earlier answer tations that it could be a spark of good in him
a spark of light or just part of cities his plan and if so what was that plan
maybe he wanted to enlighten the whole council by revealing to them that the
Sith Lords really do exist and that he brought them to light and to maybe
change their ways as he believed that they had lost their ideology of the
force the same as qui-gon who felt that the Jedi didn't really follow the force
anymore merely just politics I guess we'll never know however there was that
observation Obi one made about the rule of two he said it was more a doctrine
than a rule so what do we make of this I always thought it was strange that there
were other Darksiders being trained by the Sith when there should only be two
but if it's a principle that can be bent then that explains why dark acolytes
like asajj ventress or later in the new canon the
inquisitorial are allowed to exist such as when Maul was being trained by
Palpatine and Plagueis was still alive so how is all of this different really
than allowing multiple apprentices are some just merely tools and assassins but
if they're trained in the ways of the Sith then doesn't that really bend or
break the rule is it maybe a power level thing do the Sith purposely seek weaker
medium powered force sensitives it doesn't really sound like something a
Seth would do as they're always striving from
more strength and power asajj ventress herself eventually grew strong enough in
the force for Darth Sidious to consider her a threat so I guess my ultimate
question is is the rule of two even real was it ever followed authentically think
on this we must hope you enjoyed this video let me know your comments about
all of this down below have an awesome rest of your day and until the next
episode remember the force will be with you always
honestly
Oh
