Dooku still sounds like he did nothing wrong other than being a little lib at first but then realizing force was necessary, which they portray as the “Dark” Side, and that’s when we see him in the movies.
I do hate how US media must necessarily make any potential revolutionary be evil for no reason just to make the good guys be people like the Jedis sitting around doing nothing except reinforcing the slave “Republic”/Empire.
To be fair to the prequels, it doesn’t let those in the Republic off the hook. They all were complacent, corrupt, overlooked slavery and criminal syndicates, punished love, etc and it led to their downfall and drove Anakin to do what he did. I know most people see the Jedi as the “good guys” still but it’s pretty obvious they were kinda dogshit to me.
