The RISE & FALL of Count Dooku | Full Story (4K)

Count Dooku’s story is one of the darkest and most tragic tales in all of Star Wars. From noble Jedi Knight and teacher of Qui-Gon Jinn to Darth Tyranus, the Sith Lord who led the Separatists and helped orchestrate the Clone Wars, Dooku’s rise and fall shaped galactic history forever. This video covers his entire journey – from his painful childhood on Serenno, to his years training under Yoda, the infamous Battle of Galidraan, his resignation from the Jedi Order after Qui-Gon’s death, his secret recruitment by Darth Sidious, and ultimately his betrayal and death at the hands of Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith.

To tell this story with full accuracy, we drew on both Canon and Legends sources, weaving them into one complete narrative:

Dooku: Jedi Lost (Canon) – his childhood, training in the Temple, and bond with Sifo-Dyas

Tales of the Jedi (Canon) – missions with Qui-Gon Jinn and his final confrontation with Yaddle

Jango Fett: Open Seasons (Legends) – the Battle of Galidraan and Dooku’s first doubts about the Jedi

Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (Canon) – Qui-Gon’s death and the return of the Sith

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter (Legends) – the fall of Komari Vosa and Dooku’s recruitment of Jango Fett for the clone army

Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (Canon) – the rise of the Separatist Alliance and the Battle of Geonosis

Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003 microseries) (Legends) – Dooku’s discovery and training of Asajj Ventress

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 series) (Canon) – his manipulation of the war, betrayal of Ventress, creation of General Grievous, and political deceptions.

Dark Disciple (Canon) – Quinlan Vos and Ventress’s attempt to assassinate Dooku, ending in Ventress’s sacrifice

Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (Canon) – Dooku’s final duel with Anakin aboard the Invisible Hand and his brutal betrayal by Sidious

Dooku’s life shows how even the noblest Jedi can fall when pride, disillusionment, and manipulation twist their ideals. His story isn’t just about a Sith Lord – it’s about a man who believed he was saving the galaxy, only to create the very Empire he thought he would rule.
