 Sith Lord is not to be trifled with, but I will not be there to protect you, my old ladder one. You need not worry, Master. Obi-Wan fills that role now. He acquits himself quite well. Okay, we're gonna be making sense of life through Tales of the Jedi episode four, The Sith Lord. I've very much enjoyed it. This is actually, this is my favorite of the whole miniseries. I just learned it, I learned it so much. A lot of things just hit me right in the feel good hole. It follows Count Dooku as he is now at this point in league in Kahootz with Sidious. He erases Kamino from the archived charts and runs into his old padawan Qui-Gon, who had just encountered Darth Maul. The Jedi don't believe he was actually a Darth. They don't believe that the Sith could have returned. Then Qui-Gon goes back to continue the events of the Phantom Menace. It goes to where Qui-Gon is killed and Dooku is shattered by that and that's basically really the final nail in the camel. Basically the final straw that broke the confidence back and he's like, I am so done now. So he goes to meet Sidious at their favorite hiding place. Yaddle follows him and then they have a bit of a more of a quandary. Dooku ends up fighting Yaddle. The death. Dooku is now pretty legitimately Sidious's new apprentice as that was his way of proving his loyalty to Sidious. So yeah, again, I liked fleshing out the characters more. For instance, found out that Qui-Gon was born on Coruscant which is super cool and it's like maybe my favorite scene in the whole episode is after Qui-Gon gets killed by Darth Maul because this episode is happening in tandem with the Phantom Menace just from different viewpoints which I also thought was very cool. That's kind of what really finally pushes Count Dooku over the edge. He was close to Qui-Gon so when he felt like the Jedi were being very dismissive of Qui-Gon's claims of Sith being out in a boat, out in a boat. Dooku just was not having it. He did not appreciate that because he probably also felt dismissed a lot by the Jedi. He kind of understands the feels. Master, I've been warning them about the coming darkness for years. Never to be taken seriously. When he's talking to Yaddle about the tree, the Jedi tree that they got, I like that. It was just really nice to kind of tie the bond together between Dooku and Qui-Gon and to kind of drop in a couple bits of Qui-Gon background. Qui-Gon's my favorite character so I enjoyed learning more about Qui-Gon. So it was cool to see that they have the part where Qui-Gon is about to go back to a Naboo for the last act of the Phantom Menace and he has a nice interaction with Dooku. I really liked where they kind of again reference attack the clones where Dooku talks about how highly Qui-Gon would talk about Obi-Wan. Which again was kind of just like an added nice touch, an added texture. It wasn't super crucial dialogue for the movie but I like that they were able to take that and kind of expand on it. And I liked seeing Yaddle and Dooku reminisce about how quickly their apprentices grow up. Master Dooku, are you all right? They grow up so fast, our students. Yes, it is the way of things. Indeed. Helping someone grow and passing on what you know but then also seeing them become their own person and changing and maybe doing things differently from you. Just the natural order of things I think they even say. Seeing Dooku talk about Qui-Gon to Sidious was interesting and then Sidious retorting back that we both lost an apprentice. There's almost kind of like a weird humanizing moment for Sidious. Not I guess really it's still kind of from like a selfish kind of manipulative tactic way of phrasing it but it was interesting just to kind of see again. How was that? This episode for me it's hard it's hard to explain fully but it just felt so Star Wars to me and I know everyone has a different way of this is where words fail. I think a lot of times because especially when it comes to things regarding feelings towards childhood or feelings of things that make people happy and angry. When it's dealing with emotions it's hard to articulate sometimes when it comes to this but and everyone has a different meaning when they say it feels like Star Wars or it doesn't feel like Star Wars but for me this feels like Star Wars. Kind of gave me the feeling that I would get from my favorite Star Wars content. It gave me that feeling. I think that's that's why I felt like Star Wars. It's staying true to the old while still telling a new story or expanding on the already existing story. I think maybe that's my definition of what feels like Star Wars you know. The conflict with Dooku was interesting. Going back now at the the clips of Dooku and Attack the Clones I'm actually seeing now more conflict in him than I'd ever really noticed before however merciful he does seem and regretful at times when it comes to the things he's doing in the movie. What's cool about Tales of Jai that I like instead of undermining pre-existing lore and content it is truly expanding it and also making me understand pre-existing stuff more. Like now I look back at Attack the Clones and I notice in all the ways that Count Dooku was more of just wanting to do the right thing and he's regretful of maybe some of the decisions he's had to made and he's regretful of some of the decisions he's had to make and you know still kind of feels that somewhat of a connection towards a lot of the Jedi that he used to serve aside. So this show is making me see stuff that wasn't Attack the Clones but I just never noticed before. Oh yes I can always use more Dooku fighting with some agile little green Yoda folk also gave me Attack the Clones vibes so it was cool to see Yaddle be just as agile it was a good fight very satisfying the whole show everything was very satisfying. Ian McDermid is the goat this episode explaining why Yaddle wasn't seen at the end of Phantom Menace which is also something that I never realized it made me see more of Phantom Menace as well that I didn't catch before I've seen that movie a million times never really thought that Yaddle wasn't there at the end ceremony they're like oh well let's let's have some fun with why she wasn't there it shows like the people that were working on that know those movies for instance so well that they can notice things that they can then play around with to create stories within the stories and kind of make everything it's one complete thing and get to see all the different perspectives and where everyone was at and what everything was going on at the same time and Yaddle doing Obi-Wan's battle stance was also very cool I don't know that's something that I'm sure probably it makes sense lore-wise maybe she uses the same lightsaber style like Sorsu or I don't know it just seemed cool either way yeah I liked it the way it ended I like that they you know she's she's powerful she was able to at first stop the door from crunching her but in the end she lost it drains you you know when you got to hold up a big crunch door the kind of door they'll just mash it a bit it takes energy to stop the door from doing that to you so I like that at the end she's just plopped episode four Tales of the Jedi is in my opinion the most star-worsy thing I've seen since probably some of the lost missions of the poem wars for me it rang true that bell that knell you know hitting that knell making that knell sound of the bell overall it was just pleasing but that was some stuff that I thought uh fourth episode of Tales of the Jedi what do you guys think of that episode let me know share your thoughts in the comments below we'll have a discussion till next time it's real too far I don't know what you mean like on Jin you allowed Maul to kill him you lost an apprentice and so did I
