A gag reel during the end credits would go a long way in making these movies better, I would argue.

Darth Maul would have died from being sliced in half, but then he fell in a pit which cancelled out the death

A small portion of Act 3 of TROS will be the gang looking for a pit deep enough to toss Leia down into, so she can be brought back. I assume this will be where Keri Russell's character comes into play.

Coincidentally enough, Luke's shoe is probably going to be in TROS, in a scene involving Jedi psychometry.

He just loves putting spaceships on the ground.

The Enterprise was built on the ground in Star Trek, it rises out of the ocean in Into Darkness (and then the Vengeance crashes), the most memorable shot on Jakku is of a downed Star Destroyer, Starkiller base is a spaceship that is the ground, etc etc

It's mocking the latest placemat theory that Kylo is a Sith (and/or that Palpatine wasn't a 'real' Sith).

To be clear, since there's evidently a lot of confusion, there are only three Siths in the Star Wars movies: Darth Sidious, Darth Maul, and Darth Vader. (Dooku was working undercover as a Sith, but self-identified as a Jedi.)

He’s working undercover as a Sith. When Palpatine’s not around, he tries to convince the other Jedi to join him and kill Palpatine. He’s acting shady about it, though, because he has a secondary goal of taking over the Republic and putting the Jedi directly in charge.

Windu actually ends up agreeing with Dooku: bringing a team of Jedi to assassinate the democratically-elected Palpatine is exactly what Dooku asked for.

It’s the plot of Episode 2 and 3.

Count Dooku: What if I told you that the Republic was now under the control of a dark lord of the Sith?

Obi-Wan: No, that's not possible. The Jedi would sense it.

Count Dooku: The Dark Side has clouded their vision.

Obi-Wan: I don't believe you.

2 things come to mind:

1)if he's trying to convince the Jedi to turn on Palpatine you'd think he'd put more effort into trying to talk to Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda instead of having big choreographed fights with them

2)Dooku's got Palpatine strapped to a chair surrounded by an army of robots, even if Palpatine is Force gently caress-Master Supreme Dooku's still got pretty good odds of killing him right then and there. Worst case scenario Dooku tries to kill Palpatine in front of Obi-Wan and Anakin, Palpatine kills Dooku, and Obi-Wan and Anakin find out Palpatine is a Sith Lord.

Well it is understandable that they’re confused/upset, because the prequels do an insanely good job of concealing the fact that Dooku is a ‘good guy’ fighting to save the Jedi from corruption. Even though Dooku openly states this, and even though Yoda and Windu ultimately agree with Dooku’s “political idealism”, fans side with Obiwan and simply disbelieve the obvious. They tune it out, because he wears a black cape.

“The Dark Side has clouded their vision.”

This is where it’s good to be really clear: although people talk about a ‘rule of two’, there is, strictly speaking, only one Sith in the entire series: Palpatine, the Sith Master. Palpatine is THE Sith, and he is never supplanted. Palpatine may award the title of Sith to a single subordinate of his choosing, but he has no actual intention of allowing that person to become a Master like him. There are tales and legends of other Sith, but we never see them.

(So although Yoda says “there are always two”, the actual rule is that there are never more than two. Palpatine only ever chooses one Chosen One to be his flunky, at a time.)

CharlestonJew posted:

Dooku is a ‘political idealist’ who despises corruption, and those characters have been corrupted - clouded by the Dark Side. From his point of view, those particular Jedi are evil.

Palpatine is pretending to be in danger. He does the same trick to Windu, and then to Luke. Dooku is presumably aware of this.

Jango calls him Darth Tyranus when he's talking with Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan brings it up to Yoda who confirms it is a Sith title. "With the forename Darth, a Sith he must be."
