However, it is very feasible that Palpatines' original plan was to have two of the greatest members of the force underneath his guard. There is some hint to that Anakin was essentially a product of Sidious.
Because of this, it is also probable that it was Sidious' plan all along to have his product by his side. If the theories are true. After Dooku had failed and lost his hands and his strongest ability as a Sith it is no wonder Palpatine let Anakin kill him. I say "let" even though he was ordered too. There are two reasons for it. One, we all know that Anakin craved and longed for it, but also, Palpatine was able to absorb the guilt for him by not letting him make that decision.
It brought the Dark Side a great ally, because, Anakin was seen has as a hero in front of the entire Republic, and as such, he knitted a stronger bond with Palpatine who actually let him express what was in his heart of hearts, instead of the restraints at least what Anakin personally felt of the Jedi Council. I thought he might have been worried that the Dook-ster would betray him as the leader of the Sith. Under Jedi interrogation - or even just normal droid interrogation - or something.
I mean, nothing in the movie implies that at all - it seems to be more "Palpatine pushing Anakin along the dark path" in the movie, but presumably a captured Dooku was a big risk to the Emperor.
Of course, that theory throws the whole "Palpatine's plan to get captured" into disarray What if someone else had rescued him and taken Dooku prisoner, or what if Obi-wan hadn't fainted?
But that's a question, not an answer. I'd assumed that rule of two or not, Palpatine needed to keep his secret safe, and a captured Dooku was a big risk to that secret. Because Palpatine wants Anakin to be his next Sith apprentice. Notice that Palpatine is very watchful of Anakin.
Anakin thinks that Palpatine takes care of him and trusts him, but in reality Palpatine was just manipulating Anakin as we see in the movie. In Return of the Jedi , Palpatine does that to Luke. However, Luke rejected Sidious. That's what Darth Sidious does; he double-crosses his apprentices because he always wants a more powerful apprentice. Darth sidious kills Dooku for a reason. Because it is the Sith way to kill your master once you've learned enough of his teachings And since Anakin was a powerful jedi.
He had no need for teachings. Plus Anakin didn't know it was the Sith way to kill your master. Besides what did he have to lose even if Anakin said no he could call order 66 and kill Dooku himself I believe that dooku is killed for two reasons, Both mentioned on here bot not together, In attack of the clones Dooku tells obi wan that "the republic is now under the control of the dark lord of the sith" Then obi wan is set free.
Obi wan would have def told the council about that, and would have reached palpatine. Making him a liability. And then of course to affect anakin. During the Clone Wars series it definitely seemed like Dooku was working his own angle, he may of said he needed bodyguards a few times but when he was training his new apprentice after being ordered to kill Ventress.
Palpatine also knew that Anakin had the highest Force potential of all time and he wanted Anakin to be his successor in the rule of two not Dooku. Palpatine knew that the only way for Anakin to defeat Dooku was by tapping into the dark side of the Force. If Anakin did this he would surpass Dooku and carry out the rule of two, also Dooku was much older than his master Palpatine and didn't have the potential to defeat him and become the Sith master but Anankin did.
Palpatine was a master of deception and knew exactly what he was doing. Both Vader and Dooku were victims of Palpatines foul play.
If Vader and Dooku fought their replacements without their replacements having handicaps the favor of the two battles would fall into the Sith lords hands having them as the victors.

The answer to that question says: The Rule of Two perservered because it worked. Dooku remembered that he was killed 10 years ago on Naboo by Kenobi. Talzin then offered one of her Nightbrothers from Maul's village , as his new assassin.
Dooku, with the "loss" of Ventress and the Jedi attacks, agreed to her offer and left. Dooku was impressed by the Opress's sight and how Talzin described him as the fiercest of his kind, assuring him that Opress would serve Dooku well. Dooku then sent Opress on a mission to secure the outpost on Devaron from the Republic. Dooku was then informed by Opress of his mission's success and returned to him on Serenno.
Dooku then told Savage how they would do great things, be more powerful than Lord Sidious and the former Darth Maul, and rule the galaxy together. Dooku then trained Savage in lightsaber combat and his dark side powers.
Dooku was a harsh taskmaster who tortured Opress with his Sith lightning. After Dooku's first training session with Opress, he sent him on a mission to Toydaria. Dooku told him to bring King Katuunko to him alive. However, Opress failed Dooku when he killed Katuunko and brought him aboard his flagship. Dooku then punished him with his Sith lightning. Ventress then revealed herself to be alive and Opress's true master.
The two of them then fought Dooku but were unable to defeat him. Opress then force-choked Dooku and Ventress and then tried to kill them both. Dooku and Ventress made their escape, then Dooku was then confronted by Ventress, but was able to defeat her.
Just as he was about to kill her, Dooku was blinded and Ventress made her escape. Dooku then ordered his battle droids to kill Opress, but they failed to stop him from escaping. Dooku was assured that Chieftain Nossor Ri and his Quarren were with them. In return for supporting the Separatist cause, Dooku promised Tamson that Mon Cala would be his to rule.
After the Mon Calamari and Republic received Gungan reinforcements from Naboo , Dooku sent Tamson reinforcements, but ordered him to keep them in reserve. Dooku also ordered him to continue to hunt down Prince Lee-Char and reminded Nossor Ri that the Quarren had to support the war effort if they wanted Separatist support. Despite Dooku's best efforts, his plans to conquer Mon Cala collapsed after the Quarren switched sides after learning that Tamson planned to crown himself as the new ruler of Mon Cala.
Dooku set a trap for Skywalker on Naboo, using himself as bait to lure the young Jedi Knight away from his forces. Dooku then formed an alliance with Gungan priest, Rish Loo to provoke a war between the Naboo and the Gungans.
Dooku promised Rish Loo that he would most influential in his new order. Dooku informed his master of General Grievous's capture by the Gungans. Dooku agreed to capture Skywalker in order to trade him for Grievous.
Dooku had Rish Loo lure Skywalker to his lab. Once there, Dooku killed Rish Loo for his foolishness. Dooku and his MagnaGuards fought Skywalker, eventually subduing him.
Dooku then contacted Amidala, offering to exchange Skywalker for General Grievous. Skywalker confronted Dooku on the Zygerrian homeworld, and was subdued by a barrage of Force lightning. Dooku then accompanied Zygerrian slaver, Commander Darts D'Nar , and his forces as they moved into "occupy" the Togruta colony of Kiros. Dooku then convinced the governor, Gupat Roshti , to be taken to a "safe haven.
Dooku then ordered D'Nar to bring Kenobi to him on his knees. Sidious sent Dooku to ensure that the Queen would carry out Skywalker's execution. Dooku then spoke with the Queen and the Prime Minister about Skywalker and his friends' situation.
Dooku was intrigued by her plan to enslave the Jedi, but Dooku's plan was to eradicate the Jedi. He also warned her that her power over Skywalker was an illusion, since he was once a Jedi. When the queen refused to allow Dooku to execute Skywalker, Molec saw her as unworthy of being queen, in which Dooku then force-choked Scintel as Skywalker arrived. Dooku then fought Skywalker and ordered the Royal guard to kill Skywalker for the Queen's murder before he escaped.
Dooku later appeared through a hologram to Lux Bonteri in which he denied killing Mina Bonteri and ordered him killed for treason. Dooku then hired bounty hunter Moralo Eval to carry out a kidnapping of Palpatine. Following Eval's escape with help from fellow bounty hunters Cad Bane and Rako Hardeen Kenobi in disguise , [69] Dooku brought other bounty hunters to participate in this mission for him.
He tested them by putting them inside the box. Dooku became impressed with Hardeen's performance, especially how he was able to kill Kenobi. Dooku then had Eval fight Hardeen till he lost. He then appointed Bane as leader of this team to carry out Palpatine's kidnapping. On Naboo, Dooku listened to Bane's plans. However, he implanted a listening device in Hardeen's rifle case, revealing that he knew that Hardeen was Kenobi all along. The bounty hunter's mission was merely a diversion to distract the Republic troops, while Dooku carried out the kidnapping.
However, his plan was foiled by Kenobi and Skywalker who managed to stop his plot before he escaped. Dooku ordered Grievous to exterminate the Nightsisters of Dathomir while Mother Talzin tortured him through magick. However, Dooku was tortured by Talzin through her magick , demanding he call off Grievous and his army. Dooku contacted Grievous, ordering him to find Talzin before she killed him.
Dooku was saved when Grievous apparently "killed" Talzin in a secret chamber of the Nightsister village. He feared that with Talzin gone, Savage would be a danger to him and his master, as he was becoming more powerful.
Dooku also sensed something else coming; unknown to him, Darth Maul would soon return to the galactic stage with Opress at his side. Following Rash's reports of the rebels , Dooku dispatched super tactical droid general, Kalani to take command of the Separatist forces.
Dooku deployed Grievous against Hondo Ohnaka, the pirate who once held the Count as a prisoner for ransom. Still having a score to settle with Hondo Ohnaka for holding him captive in the past, Dooku dispatched General Grievous to Florrum to seize and dismantle all of Ohnaka's possessions making them his own property.
He then had Grievous take Ohnaka away to a prison cell. Ohnaka survived the assault but much of his base was left in ruins. Dooku traveled to the planet Bray. Dooku hoped to use Ravna's ability to infect any living being into unknown violent species to transform millions of clones and swiftly end the Clone War.
However, Dooku was ultimately betrayed by Ravna who sought to infect all beings in the galaxy and proceeded to transform Dooku. After destroying his super battle droid, Dooku stood by as Ravna's followers attempted to infect Kenobi and Gallia. However, Dooku gave into his anger when Kenobi insulted him and called him pathetic, causing Dooku to strike at Ravna with force lightning.
In the chaos of the fight, Dooku told Kenobi and Gallia to destroy Ravna and his followers, a resolution the Jedi saw to by using the Force to collapse the Citadel while Ravna was still inside, thereby burying the creature while Dooku escaped. As the clone army's benefactor, Tyranus was in secret contact with the Kaminoans during the Clone Wars.
Dooku was later contacted by Admiral Trench. Through Trench's line held on Ringo Vinda , he informed Dooku how one of the clones had murdered his Jedi general in a trance-like state. Dooku informed his master that Order 66 might be revealed. Thus Sidious ordered Dooku to kidnap the clone and examine him. Dooku then ordered Trench to kidnap the clone. After the admiral succeeded in doing so, Dooku applauded him and ordered him to send the clone to him.
Tyranus then asked for the inhibitor chip. Tyranus made it clear that only he and Sifo-Dyas knew about the chip's true purpose and that the Jedi must not learn this.
Sometime later, Dooku was contacted by Sidious and was ordered by his master to once again recruit Senator Rush Clovis and name him the new head of the Banking Clan. Dooku then contacted Clovis via the medical droid treating him. Dooku offered to pay the Confederacy's interest on their loans as well as supply Clovis details of the Muuns' secret accounts, in exchange for him becoming head of the Banking Clan. After Clovis took his position on Scipio , Dooku contacted him to congratulate on his appointment.
Dooku then announced that he wished to collect on his "investment" or he will reveal the truth behind's Clovis's appointment. He also threatened that the Confederacy would not pay back their loans.
Thus Dooku forced Clovis to raise the Republic's interest rates to keep the bank afloat. Dooku then arrived at Scipio, accompanied by the Confederate fleet and ordered his super tactical droid, Commander Kraken , to begin the invasion.
Soon after, Dooku arrived on the planet and went to Clovis's office. There, Dooku informed Amidala of the deal he made with Clovis. Dooku ordered her arrest, but Separatist Congress Leader , Bec Lawise , said that their Senate would not approve of this. Dooku then forced Amidala to shoot Lawise. Dooku was then informed by Sidious that the Republic fleet would be arriving shortly.
Soon after, Republic ships led by Anakin Skywalker began attacking Kraken's fleet. Arriving onboard Kraken's flagship, Dooku ordered Kraken to withdraw their forces from Scipio. Kraken protested and claimed that there were droid forces still on the planet.
Dooku dismissed Kraken's concerns and ordered the droid to withdraw. Kraken obeyed and retreated along with the Confederate fleet, abandoning the droid forces on the planet.
Dooku was chastened by Sidious, who warned his apprentice to beware the price of failure for a Sith. Dooku was told about the Jedi's renewed investigation into Sifo-Dyas and his death, choking Dooku as a price for his clumsiness. Sidious sent Dooku to Oba Diah to make sure the Jedi did not learn the truth about the Clone Army and their eventual fates.
When Dooku arrived on the planet, he went towards the former chancellor Finis Valorum 's aid, Silman , and killed him before the Jedi sent to Oba Diah—Skywalker and Kenobi—could unravel the mystery. As the Pykes spoketo the Sith, they unknowingly revealed to the Jedi that Dooku and the identity of "Tyranus" were the same person. Dooku quickly attempted to make his escape, via a Coruscant Freighter docked in the Oba Diah port, but Obi-Wan pushed Anakin toward Dooku, and the two fought on the vessel.
Nevertheless, Dooku defeated Skywalker and made his escape, having succeeded in stopping the Jedi from learning the truth of the Clone Army. However, the news that Tyranus—a man they knew had hired Jango Fett—was actually Dooku disturbed the Jedi, as it showcased that their enemy had made them an army.
Sidious attacked Yoda through the Force, utilizing the bond that once existed between Dooku and his old Master. Dooku was then informed by Kraken that Lord Sidious demanded his presence on Coruscant. Arriving on Coruscant in the Works, he was greeted by Sidious, who then led him to the tower's ceremonial chamber.
Both he and Lord Sidious felt that Yoda was on the Sith homeworld of Moraband for some unknown reason. Dooku then allowed Sidious to use his blood to create an illusion for Yoda due to him being his former master with both using their Sith lightning. In the ritual, Dooku and Sidious were confronted by Yoda, Anakin Skywalker , Captain Rex, and a squad of clone troopers who were tasked with eliminating the Sith. Dooku attacked the clones with Force lightning and dueled with Skywalker and was eventually killed by him.
At the end of the ritual, they had failed in breaking Yoda and knew they needed more time to defeat him and the Jedi. Grievous fought with Obi-Wan Kenobi while attempting to secure a large kyber crystal on Utapau.
Towards the end of the Clone Wars, Count Dooku and General Grievous took interest in a massive kyber crystal on the neutral planet of Utapau. They hired several Sugi mercenaries led by Endente and Amani outcasts to excavate the crystal and to guard it respectively. However, her death attracted the attention of Master Kenobi and the Jedi Knight Skywalker, who traveled to Utapau to investigate.
Investigating Tu-Anh's death and the presence of MagnaGuards, Kenobi and Skywalker traveled to the plains of Utapau to investigate a group of Amani outcasts. While traveling through Utapau's wilderness, the two Jedi were captured by several Sugi mercenaries who brought them to Endente, who informed them about the Confederacy's interest in the kyber crystal. When the Jedi offered to buy the crystal for twice the amount, Endente informed Dooku via hologram about the Jedi and demanded more compensation to offset the Jedi offer.
Dooku ordered him to kill the Jedi and promised that he would send Grievous to "give him what he deserved. The actions of the Jedi, Kenobi and Skywalker, prevented Dooku from gaining posession of the kyber crystal. As Endente and his Sugi comrades prepared for a counter-assault to recover the kyber crystal, they were contacted by Dooku who informed him that Grievous was coming to meet them on the plains of Utapau.
Fearful of reporting his failure to the Sith, Endente told Dooku to send Grievous to meet them at Pau City instead on the pretext that the Amani could no longer be relied upon to guard the crystal. Despite their efforts, Endente and his forces failed to recover the crystal from the Jedi, who made their way to Pau City's spaceport.
Grievous eventually learned of Endente's failure and executed the Sugi mercenary. After a struggle, Grievous, with the help of Governor Blom, managed to recover the crystal from the Jedi and loaded it onto his shuttle.
The Jedi followed him aboard, but Grievous managed to capture Kenobi. Following Kenobi's capture, Grievous gave a report to Dooku, who ordered him to execute Master Kenobi and to deliver the crystal urgently to Serenno; stressing that he would tolerate no failure.
Despite Grievous's efforts, the two Jedi managed to destroy the crystal and Grievous's fleet. Grievous alone escaped to report the failure to his master. During the waning days of the Clone Wars, Count Dooku commanded an assault on the planet Mahranee , which led to the genocide of the Mahran species. In addition, Dooku also issued orders that all Mahran be killed on sight.
Dooku's assault was witnessed by the Jedi Council on Coruscant, who at the suggestion of Master Obi-Wan hatched an unusual plan partnering maverick Jedi Master Quinlan Vos with the Nightsister bounty hunter and Dooku's former apprentice Asajj Ventress.
After partnering with Ventress as a bounty hunter, Vos eventually revealed his true identity. Seeking revenge against Dooku for his actions against her and her people, Ventress agreed to help Vos by training him in the ways of the dark side.
After Vos completed his training, Ventress received word from the Separatist contact Sumdin that Dooku was going to visit Raxus Secundus , where he was due to receive the Raxian Humanitarian Award for his services to the Confederacy. For that trip, Dooku was accompanied by his military commander General Grievous. Before receiving the award, Dooku gave a patriotic speech to a large crowd defending the Separatist cause and attacking the Republic and the Jedi.
During the public banquet, Asajj took the opportunity to meet up with Dooku and challenge him to a duel at the overlook nearby. Dooku agreed but secretly contacted Grievous for reinforcements. However, Vos anticipated this and managed to lock Grievous in a room.
Together, Ventress and Vos confronted Dooku at the overlook. After exchanging pleasantries over a glass of Alderaanian wine , Dooku engaged the assassins in a lightsaber duel. Using his mastery of the dark side, Dooku overpowered the two assassins and used the Force to hurl them against some nearby pillars. Despite Vos's best efforts, he was unable to best Dooku and was taken captive by the Sith Lord.
Ventress managed to escape following a scuffle with Grievous but was unable to rescue her lover Vos. Dooku then struck Vos unconscious with Force lightning and spirited his Jedi captive away to his palace on Serenno. Vos was captured and taken to Dooku's castle on Serenno, where the Jedi was turned to the dark side of the Force.
Using his psychometric abilities, Vos realized that Dooku was telling the truth. Shortly later, Ventress and Boba Fett's bounty hunter syndicate launched a mission to rescue Vos.
However, they were forced to flee empty-handed after Vos, who had given in to the dark side, attacked Ventress. Following the attack, Vos became Dooku's new Sith apprentice. Despite turning to the dark side, Vos secretly planned to force Dooku to lead him to his master, Darth Sidious, and then kill the two Sith Lords. Dooku assisted his master in interrogating his former apprentice Maul about his Shadow Collective at the Spire on Stygeon Prime. However, Maul then made his escape with his Mandalorian super commandos to Zanbar.
Dooku then contacted Grievous after Maul's forces retreated. Dooku hoped this attack would draw Talzin out. Dooku, accompanied by a pair of MagnaGuards, then went to Ord Mantell to capture Maul and level the city.
Dooku was then confronted by Brother Viscus and the Nightbrothers. Dooku was easily able to defeat the Viscus and his men. However, Dooku was then surrounded by Maul's forces before he had the chance to kill the defeated Viscus. Dooku was offered a deal by Maul; to abandon Lord Sidious and serve Maul. Dooku refused, knowing that Sidious was more powerful than they realized. Maul told him that together with Talzin, they would be Sidious's undoing.
Dooku then spoke with Talzin, warning that betraying Sidious would be a folly. Talzin told him that Sidious was ready to replace him with a new apprentice. She then revealed to Dooku how Sidious came to her promising to make her his right hand but betrayed her when he took Maul. She also revealed that Maul was her son. When the Republic forces boarded their ship, Dooku decided to assist Maul in killing the Jedi, but not before secretly freeing Grievous.
Dooku then killed Tiplee and then escaped with Maul and Commanders Saxon and Kast aboard a gauntlet fighter. Dooku was then taken to Dathomir by Maul. There, he was taken to a chamber in the Nightbrother village to have his life-force taken from him to allow Talzin to regain her form. Dooku was then possessed by Talzin when Grievous and Sidious arrived. However, she was no match against Sidious's skill while inside Dooku's body.
Dooku was freed when Talzin became whole. He then assisted his master in fighting Talzin until Grievous killed her. Despite Maul's escape, Sidious assured Dooku that their future was certain.
Dooku killed Ventress and tried to use her death to push Vos fully to the dark side. Following Talzin's death, [90] Dooku and his new right-hand man, Quinlan Vos, launched a renewed military campaign against the Republic.
Vos quickly gained the moniker " Admiral Enigma" among the Republic media. With the help of Ventress, Kenobi and his former apprentice Anakin Skywalker infiltrated Dooku's Providence -class Dreadnought and made their way to the bridge , hoping to encounter "Admiral Enigma. However, Vos and Dooku had anticipated the rescue and arranged for Vos to appear in an emaciated state. While Ventress sensed that Vos had turned to the dark side, his Jedi colleagues eagerly welcomed Vos home. Using his high-placed position within the Jedi hierarchy, Vos leaked intelligence on two Republic operations to Dooku.
This allowed the Separatists to sabotage an asteroid supplies warehouse and to evacuate a listening post on Vanqor prior to a Republic attack. After discerning that Vos had turned to the dark side, the Jedi Council sent Vos on a mission to kill Dooku. With the help of Ventress, Vos and the Jedi learned that Dooku's dreadnought was last sighted above the crystal-covered planet of Christophsis. Vos managed to infiltrate Dooku's dreadnought and engaged the Sith Lord in a lightsaber duel.
Despite besting Dooku, Vos refused to kill him and instead demanded that Dooku lead him to Darth Sidious. Unknown to both Dooku and Vos, they had been tailed by Kenobi and Skywalker. The two Jedi Knights promptly arrested Dooku and his apprentice and transported them to the Venator -class Star Destroyer Vigilance as prisoners. While being marched to the Vigilance's brig, Vos managed to free Dooku, who in turned freed Vos. Ventress attempted to fly them back to Dooku's dreadnought but they were shot down by the Vigilance and crash-landed on Christophsis.
Ventress's sacrifice undermined Dooku's plans for Vos, who reclaimed his status as a Jedi. Dooku and his fellow travelers survived the crash but the Count sustained a serious injury since he had not been properly strapped in. After navigating through Christophsis's crystal-covered landscape, they managed to reach a local Separatist base that was built into a giant crystal tower.
Upon arriving, Dooku was informed that Darth Sidious was seeking an audience with him. During a brief hologram conversation, Dooku requested help from his master to get offworld.
Shortly later, Kenobi and Skywalker launched a full-scale assault on the Separatist base. Together, Dooku and his opponents made their way into an outlying crystal sanctum. On the way, Dooku was struck by a blaster blast and was knocked unconscious. While Ventress wanted to let him die, Vos insisted on keeping him alive. While Vos assisted the battle droids in the defense of the base, Ventress moved Dooku into the crystal sanctum. After stirring, Dooku taunted Ventress by deriding her as a "grant" and claiming that Vos had much potential as a Sith Lord.
Ventress responded that Vos had "bigger plans" for Dooku. When Vos entered the sanctum, Ventress confronted him about his decision to join Dooku and the dark side.
While Ventress and Vos were preoccupied, Dooku took the opportunity to attack his former pupils with Force lightning. He wanted to kill Vos, but ended up striking Ventress, who pushed Vos out of the way. Though Quinlan managed to stop Dooku, Ventress was mortally wounded. Dooku then attempted to goad Vos into killing him, but realizing that the act of murder led to the dark side, Vos refused and reaffirmed his Jedi identity.
While Vos comforted his dying lover, Dooku took the opportunity to rendezvous with Sidious's starship and fled off-world. Despite failing to kill Dooku, Vos was pardoned by the Jedi Council after he rejected the dark side and continued serving the Jedi war effort. However, Dooku was unaware that Sidious's true intentions were for Anakin to kill him and replace him as Sidious's apprentice. When Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi made their way to the bridge where the Chancellor was being held in an attempt to rescue him, Dooku arrived and confronted the two Jedi, flanked by two super battle droids.
He engaged them in a brief, but fierce lightsaber duel. During the duel, Dooku defeated Kenobi, who was incapacitated and knocked unconscious when the Count used the Force to pin Kenobi to the ground with a metal balcony. He then took the opportunity to mock and goad Skywalker, saying that the young Jedi knight had great fear, hate and anger in him, but was refusing to use them. However, Dooku was soon overpowered by an angered Skywalker, who, with one slash of his lightsaber, severed both the Count's hands at the wrists.
Skywalker then caught Dooku's lightsaber out of the air and crossed it with his own blade at the Count's throat. The Clone Wars finale is suddenly making Revenge of the Sith a much more complicated and interesting piece of the Star Wars mythology.
Here are three ways "The Phantom Apprentice" changes the canon of Revenge of the Sith , for the better. When Obi-Wan and Ahsoka speak via hologram, we suddenly realize that The Clone Wars is now taking place after the first minutes of Revenge of the Sith. That decision has put the Jedi in a bind because the only person who could have told them anything about Sidious got his head cut-off by hot-head Skywalker.
In fairness, this wasn't entirely Anakin's fault. However, the idea that the Jedi Council really wanted to question Count Dooku does alter existing canon a tiny bit. In Revenge of the Sith , Anakin says that Dooku "must stand trial," which is not the same as being taken into the Jedi Council for questioning. Also, in the film, nobody mentions that the Jedi are annoyed about the death of Dooku, mostly because they are too busy making Anakin spy on Chancellor Palpatine.
In the most pivotal moment in the episode, Maul asks Ahsoka to join him to stop the chaos that Darth Sidious is about to unleash. On some level, this makes sense: Darth Maul would have been aware that some kind of "revenge" against the Jedi would happen, after all, one of his only lines of spoken dialogue in a Star Wars film comes is when he says "At last, we shall have our revenge" in The Phantom Menace.
Ironically, now that the literal revenge of the Sith is about to engulf the galaxy, the guy who spoke that iconic threat actively wants to prevent said revenge from taking place.
