Hello old man enjoyer! Just had to check my archive for October 2022 and it turns out I really didn't talk much about TotJ, though I certainly did blog a little about it

So to catch up on that: yeah! I enjoyed the Dooku episodes! His new character model was at times more off-putting than the one from TCW, but the content itself was good. I like that they confirmed he was a principled and just person who got carried away with bad methods. How it started on a small scale and how it snowballed. Especially the pattern of him setting out to confront some injustice or another and causing harm in the end is neat, I think. It's a microcosm of Dooku's whole existence, really, because this whole process repeats and the stakes get higher until he's hurting the entire fucking galaxy in his pursuit of "justice". It's amazing. From a conflict in a small town to a war spanning all of civilization... nice hustle, sir. What a unique talent you have for making people shoot each other.

There are some bones I have to pick with his TotJ episodes and I think he should've been given more time, but I'm happy with what we got. It feels respectful and true to the character painted across the Prequels/TCW. Too bad they can't retcon him to have more of a presence in TPM, he would've been a great addition ����
