Forum:KB:Why exactly does Dooku tell Obi-wan about the corruption in the Senate?

When I first saw AOTC for the first time all those years ago, I took Dooku as a very interesting character; a man who left the order, broke away from the Republic, and founded his own Confederacy. I never really saw him as a "Bad Guy" per-say, more as a man who follows the most convenient path. So why exactly does he tell Obi-wan about Sideous? I always viewed it as-if Dooku was actually trying to form an alliance against Palpatine, even mentioning needing Qui-gon's help. But when Obi-wan openly rejected him, Dooku had no other choice than to follow through with Sideous' plot. This theory somewhat also supports why Dooku erased Kamino from the Jedi Archives. Does this seem plausible, or are there other motives? --John Alfred Hammond, CEO (talk) 05:14, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
