“We Sith are an unseen opposition, Tenebrous had told his young apprentice, a phantom menace. Where the Sith once wore armor, we now wear cloaks. But the Force works through us all the more powerfully in our invisibility. For the present, the more covert we remain, the more influence we can have. Our revenge will be achieved not through subjugation but by contagion.”

When the film was first released, a lot of people hated that Dooku was killed so early and ignominiously, especially since the same thing had happened to Christopher Lee in Lord of the Rings. But the Clone Wars show went a long way to fixing that, as his constantly getting away with so much horrible stuff was a lot easier to bear when we knew the whole time it would end with Palpatine throwing him away so casually. And Lee’s incredible expression of shocked betrayal is all the sweeter after going through the show.

First, excellent job color coordinating the necklace, shirt and nails. To answer one question you had: Yes, Anakin met Grievous for the first time aboard the ship. The Clone Wars had to make sure Anakin never came face to face with Grievous. I'd almost say it was a running joke to see how close Anakin and Grievous would come without an encounter. You picked a good spot to start Part 2. You'll know why when you start Part 2. Finally, I would like to say you made a great decision to rewatch Episode 3. Not only will it refresh your memory, but it will make the Siege of Mandalore arc even more intense than it already is.

Tales of the Jedi gives excellent back story to Dooku in three short videos.

It comes up yet again in this movie - the number one reason why I don't like Jedi is because of that stupid "attachments" rule. It seems like they are trying to stamp out one of the few true satisfactions in life - connecting with other people! With a philosophy like this, they were always doomed to failure because of human nature.

Not having that. They existed perfectly harmoniously as an organisation for 25,000 years and helped make the Republic prosperous and a peaceful place throughout most of that vast period. To be a Jedi is a selfless duty, one to the people, and to the will of the force. It can be argued that was lost at this time with Palpatine's machinations, the Jedi lost their way which led to their fall; but their way worked for millenia with the no-attachment rule and almost every single Jedi that ever existed, respected that.

I'm entitled to my opinion, as are you. The Jedi could never exist in the real world (even if they did have powers) because it is unnatural not to form attachments and connections with other people.

Tbf although it's unnatural to the human psyche, there are plenty of examples of religious orders in the past who had a similar philosophy regarding attachment to others, especially men with women. I could absolutely see the Jedi being real, just not super popular and more as a way out if you have no opportunities in life. Or a way to get rid of spare children in the past like monasteries and nunneries were.

There are many Eastern religions or schools of thought that teach love without attachment. That most of our emotional pain in life comes from attachments to material pursuits and relationships with others. Monasteries and Nunneries still exist today both in Christian and Eastern religions. Those who choose that life learn to serve others without these attachments. They just don't go around with laser swords or using mystical mind powers. For most people, yes it is unnatural. But Jedi were supposed to be servants of all. Also like monks and nuns, the Jedi were very few in number. Remember they didn't want to train Anakin in the beginning, because he had already formed such a strong attachment to his mother. Still being a child it would've been very difficult to willingly break that attachment (and he obviously never fully did so). Nor with Padme. They only grudgingly relented because of his potential fulfillment of prophecy. What brought them down was getting involved in politics and becoming somewhat of a police arm of the Republic. This gave Palpatine the fuel for his rise.

Well said. Jedi also don't feel like they are missing out because they aren't in relationships. Does Kit Fisto, Tera Sinube or Plo Koon go around moping because of their devotion to the Order? No, of course not, they are at peace, are balanced individuals who help when they can, and restrain their great power only to use their gifts when needed; hence one of the reasons they reached Masterhood, whilst Anakin was not even Jedi Knight material. Its the altruism and selflessness to help others, and follow the will of the force to whatever end, that gives Jedi their sense of purpose in their lives.
