We follow Count Dooku as he confronts corruption in the Senate through a series of missions before falling to the dark side of the Force in Tales of the Jedi.
Tales of the Jedi tells the story of two Jedi: Ahsoka and Dooku. We previously discussed Ahsoka’s journey from her birth to the aftermath of Order 66. In this episode, we explore Dooku’s journey from Jedi Master to Sith Apprentice as he confronts corruption in the Senate and frustration with the Jedi Council. Dooku’s fall to the dark side is a tragic tale that provides the viewer with ample opportunities for empathy. Join us for this episode of Podcast Stardust as we explore Dooku’s fall from grace in the Jedi Order.
In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- Dooku’s first confrontation with a corrupt Senator while on a mission with his Padawan, Qui-Gon Jinn in Justice,
- Decisions made by Dooku while investigating the death of a Jedi Master that lead to the death of a Senator while on a mission with Mace Windu in Choices, and
- Count Dooku’s clandestine activities at the Jedi Temple during the events of The Phantom Menace and how he reacts to Qui-Gon Jinn’s death in Sith Lord.
