Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi might have only been six episodes long, but the animated miniseries still managed to enhance our understanding of the lives of two of the most significant Jedi in the canon, especially Count Dooku, with the exploration of his origins allowing us to view him as a much more textured, nuanced character than before. At the same time, Dooku’s descent into darkness reminds us yet again what is unequivocally the single most important — and most epic — moment in all of Star Wars.

In the Dooku-centric episodes of Tales, we discover just how much the Jedi, who became Darth Tyranus, cared for his padawan, Qui-Gon Jinn, with his final push to the Dark Side coming after the death of Liam Neeson’s hero at the hands of Darth Maul in The Phantom Menace. As one Redditor pointed out, this makes the legendary Duel of the Fates battle between Qui-Gon and Maul even more integral to the saga’s storyline as it is a key juncture in the lives of both Dooku and Anakin Skywalker.
