Why doesn't Dooku reveal Sidious before his death?

Dooku knows Palpatine is Sidious. At least it results from the novel. Palpatine speaks with Dooku before the fight in Grievous' chamber, as Darth Sidious. However, in the end, right before his death, he does not reveal the Chancellor as the sith lord. I mean, he could've said: "At least I die, let's provide some useful info to these Jedi's. Hey, hey!!! Palp is Sidious!!" He does not do that. Why is that. Moreover, in the book, he begs for mercy from the Chancellor. But he keeps the secret.

Possibilities:

A) He was too scared to talk

B) He was begging Sidious to save him by eye-contact, or possibly some kind of force telepathy

C) He thought Sidious would save him (as in B) but that if he revealed the truth, Sidious would make sure he died. Also, knowing Anakin to be a Jedi, and that he should not kill him, he was expecting Anakin not to kill him and did not want to anger Sidious by saying it, or felt it was unecessary because he was not going to die

D) Sidious had told him they'd turn Anakin together, so he was expecting help from Sidious and his expression meant, "any time now!"

they all sound good to me

1.maybe he thought anakin wouldnt believe him
2.palps would deny it
3.it would make anakin even more angry because it would be blaming his mentor.
4.It would sound as if Dooku was trying to save his own skin

Well episode II he tried to help Obi-wan by telling him the Sith lord is alive and will destroy everything..

but the consel ignored Dokoo so why would they believe him this time.

And Palps wanted him dead he knew to much

And he knows he told Obi-wan so thats why

And Dokoo wasn't that bad in episodeII attacked of the clones he has Obi-wan in some kind of rotating freeze thing it was hillarious.lol 😆

But Dokoo wasn't as bad as Palp and he actually fought Yoda and ran after words Palps just ran with out a fight.

Dokoo he didn't seem to like being a sith to much but thats me.

And Palps had to make a spark in Anikan then he would fan the flames then Anikan would be burned in two way lol 😆 then DV Darth Vader would be born.

And Papls for once needed a young aprentice and AS (Anikan Skywalker) was the strongest and youngest so he took him then white became black like MJ except other way around lol

Green dude: A) You have no idea what you're talking about and, B) You can't spell.

I do like that moment in the film though.. The way Sidious looks at him and says "Kill him. Kill him now." Dooku was like "!!!!!"

Who's Dokoo? Anikan?
And wtf are you talking about? It makes no sense.

IMO he wasn't trying to help obi wan but make him trust him.

As if having two lightsabers at his throat he'd think that much through in a heartbeat AND make a decision not to talk 😖hifty:

And Palps wanted him dead he knew to much

which is known as PIS (plot induced stupidity)

And he knows he told Obi-wan so thats why

See comment about this above

And Dokoo wasn't that bad in episodeII attacked of the clones he has Obi-wan in some kind of rotating freeze thing it was hillarious.lol 😆

Again, IMO he was trying to get obi to trust him, maybe gain another dark side ally.

But Dokoo wasn't as bad as Palp and he actually fought Yoda and ran after words Palps just ran with out a fight.

this is extremely confusing as everything in that phrase is wrong.

Dokoo he didn't seem to like being a sith to much but thats me.

You really need to watch the toon series clone wars. If he didn't like being a sith, i dunno who did.

And Palps had to make a spark in Anikan then he would fan the flames then Anikan would be burned in two way lol 😆 then DV Darth Vader would be born.

This explains why Sidious let Dooku die, not why Dooku didn't talk. Again, PIS

And Papls for once needed a young aprentice and AS (Anikan Skywalker) was the strongest and youngest so he took him then white became black like MJ except other way around lol

several mistakes in that sentence

1. Anakin was strongest of HIS AGE not of all
2. He wasn't the first young apprentice Sid took. Remember someone called....Darth Maul???? He was trained by Sidious since infancy

Green dude really ought to cease posting. And get the damn movie title right. "Attacked of the Clones".

Dooku seemed speechless, and didn´t have much time to say much.

He didn't reveal all because he he knew the prophecy had been misinterpreted by the Jedi, the chosen one would kill off nearly all the JEdi and all the Sith. He knew he needed to die for Anakin to become evil, don't forget there can only be 2 Sith at a time.

he didnt because dooku was palpys ***** and couldnt bare to harm him

Because Palps held his mouth shut with the force?

Could it REALLY be as simple as that?

He does say somthing but it got cut out of the Movie becos it was too obvious that he was a Sith Lord...

It's on the DVD

maybe you haven't worded that the way you wanted, because the way you've worded it it sounds like he sacrificed himself. And trust me, Dooku would never sacrifice himself just like that.

Maybe he hoped Sidious would step in, maybe he was to scared to talk. Maybe he thought Anakin would go over the top if he did tell him, or maybe he just wanted to see Anakin fail and hoped that this was the way to do it. Hurt the Jedi even as he dies, he couldn't prevent that anymore. It was just a matter of who he hated more the Sith or the Jedi... I think he choice he hated the Jedi more and decided to stay silent to hurt them.

he simply was too stunned to say anything.
notice he didnt even have time to beg for his life.
two words: scared shitless

if Sids would have been smart, he would have made anakin his new apprentice and Dooku a sith lord....

without killing one of them of course

Don't forget the "only two" rule
