I still think about how Mace Windu says to Padmé in Attack of the Clones of Dooku: “you know Count Dooku was once a Jedi? He couldn’t assassinate anyone. It’s not in his character”.
If Mace Windu, he who takes no shit and who suffers no fools, says “it’s not in his character” it tells you a lot about the kind of Jedi Dooku was and how he presented himself. But it also tells of the astonishing depth and speed of his fall. And you can see the deep wound of betrayal on Mace’s face when he draws his blade on Dooku in the arena on Geonosis.
