Doppelgänger of Dooku

A doppelganger clone of Count Dooku, seemingly identical but less powerful than the real Count, was defeated by Anakin Skywalker on the planet Metalorn ten months after the Battle of Geonosis.

Many suspected it was a forced-growth clone. However, the nature of his disappearance after his defeat at Skywalker's hands, as well as the fact that clone gestation times indicate that the Dooku clone would have had to have been prepared a great many years in advance of the confrontation on Metalorn, suggests that the entity that Skywalker defeated was in fact a dark-side created Force-doppelganger.

Behind the scenes

 * Ironically, all of the other movie Sith Lords have been cloned in the EU. Dooku's predecessor, Maul, rose again in Tales: Resurrection; Darth Vader was cloned in Galaxy of Fear: Clones; and naturally Palpatine used cloning technology himself in Dark Empire.  Also interesting to note is that Vader/Anakin fought the Tyranus, Vader, and Maul doppelgangers.
