Star Wars: The Bad Batch

Matt Stover ’s novelisation ofStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sithcontains a melodic line that perfectly sums up the Force ’s sullen cult ; " perfidy is the way of the Sith . " Every Sith is expected to put themselves first , and even the most powerful and skilled apprentice is see as disposable should a good campaigner be discovered . Palpatine certainly model this doctrine ; he seduce Dooku to the dour side even when Darth Maul was still alive , and then sacrificed Dooku for Anakin Skywalker . Darth Sidious could not resist the natural king and potency of the Chosen One , although he was at long last frustrated when his new apprentice was so critically wound by Obi - Wan Kenobi .
Palpatine had been lead on Dookufor a long clock time . There ’s actually evidence Dooku never acknowledge Palpatine ’s aim to wipe out the Jedi , instead believing they would be reclaim under his leaders - presumably anticipating a reappearance to the ancient time when the Jedi served the balance of the Force , rather than alone the light side , before the schism that created the Sith . He certainly never understood that so many view of the Clone Wars were engineered to push Anakin Skywalker to the threshold of the colored side ; something of a snoot , Dooku was disinterested in the hard worker boy from Tatooine , who he considered naked and unprocessed . And yet , for all that ’s the case , Star Wars : The Bad Batchseason 2 , episodes 1 and 2 subtly hint that Dooku may have anticipated some variety of betrayal , and process to establish a powerfulness base of his own should his master betray him .

Star Wars: The Bad Batch Reveals Dooku Hid His Dark Side Artifacts
Star warfare : The Bad Batchseason 2opens with an exciting two - part story in which Clone Force 99 raid Dooku ’s fortress on Serenno , interfering with an regal mission to secure gem stored there . Attentive viewers will fleetly recognize the architecture in Dooku ’s throne - way ; his toilet itself is similar in design to Darth Vader ’s fort on Mustafar , created to channel the power of a glowering side vergence . Surprisingly , though , neither the Empire nor Clone Force 99 seem to stumble upon any dark side artifacts .
All Sith run to read the morose side , and Dooku always had an interest in ancient traditional knowledge - even studying Jedi vaticination that predated the Jedi schism . The absence of Sith relics is all the more singular given recent comics have confirmed otherSeparatist leaders possess Sith treasures , with Kieron Gillen , Si Spurrier , and Emilio Laiso’sDoctor Aphra#16 revealing Techno Union leader Wat Tambor possessed Sith treasure that dated back to the beginning of the Sith .

They were still there decades after the deaths of both Dooku and Wat Tambor , waiting to be aim by stealer . Presumably Palpatine never realise Dooku had distributed thepowerful Sith artifactshe possess among his friend .
Dooku was a adherent of the dark side , and it has always seemed unexpended that he was so convinced his master would not betray him . Star Wars : The Bad Batchseason 2 , episode 1 and 2 subtly reframe this ; they suggest Dooku knew betrayal was the fashion of the Sith , and prepare himself for such an contingency . The surprise , however , was that Palpatine should betray Dooku in favor of Anakin Skywalker , who Dooku looked at with a sense of distaste and disdainfulness . He got retaliation after a fashion , though , deny Palpatine the treasures he would have fuck to get his hand on .
