Why we collected this quote
We love this quote because it’s a rare moment where Obi-Wan and Dooku actually agree on something – even if it’s used immediately by Obi-Wan to make fun of him. The sass master strikes event he more powerful and aged gentleman, he has lost the respect in his eyes, so he’s now the target of sass like everyone else is.
What does this quote mean? (Meaning & Context)
Dooku and the Jedi are forced into an unlikely alliance while being held by Hondo Ohnaka’s pirates. Obi-Wan’s witty remark about Dooku having a lot in common with the “stupid” pirates is a sharp jab at his former collegue’s ego.
