Dooku
Shouldn't this article be under Dooku, without the title? --Imperialles 15:09, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes. Done. --SparqMan 00:40, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Age
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous led me to believe he was born in 103 BBY, not 102. What is the source for 102? --SparqMan 15:20, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC)
 * Leland Chee. It's probably the same issue as Anakin, who was born halfway through a year. QuentinGeorge 21:15, 1 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Dooku's early inspiration?
I´ve heard that Count Dooku was inspired by a Senate politician featured in an early draft of SW. Is this true? if so, it should be added to the BtS section. :) VT-16 12:42, 10 Sep 2005 (UTC)

The Death of Tyranus
When Dooku died, Obi-Wan was knocked out. Palpatine told Anakin to kill Dooku, but Anakin said it's not the Jedi way, he must had learned that from Obi-Wan, he would tell Anakin to let him live and to capture him. So if Obi-Wan was still awake, would Dooku survive?

If so, Dooku is the one who knocked him out, does that mean he's responsible for his own death? Double D 19:21, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * In a roundabout sort of way, yes. I agree that Anakin would probably not have killed Tyranus if Obi-Wan had been conscious. Hindsight is 20/20. Actually, he may have died anyway. A situation where he could be captured may never have arisen, and he may have been killed in the fight if that was the only way to subdue him. Also, he would have gone down easier if both Jedi had remained in the fight. – Aidje talk 20:43, 29 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Quote

 * Please stop putting that other quote at the beginning of the article. We only want *one* lead-in quote, just like our other articles. Look at the article itself. There are two quotes in the body even before we get to the disputed one. If you REALLY don't like that Jocasta Nu quote there, take it out completely. QuentinGeorge 20:25, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Additionally, please don't crop that picture. I chose the size of it for a reason and I'm starting to get annoyed by Starkeiller's habit of going and cropping all the pictures for no apparent purpose. Cutting off the rest of the lightning in the picture just removes the context and makes the picture look ugly, IMO. QuentinGeorge 20:25, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I always have a purpose. I replaced the image with one that had higher resotion, that's all. I want the Wiki to look nice and tidy. And I actually didn't crop it, I replaced it with the one from the Databank. --Master Starkeiller 20:44, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Ok, sorry. I just wanted the pic to have all of the lightning in it, rather than cut off. Can we leave it there until I get a high-res still straight from the DVD? QuentinGeorge 05:46, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Okay, I won't move it again. Please unlock it, as someone is putting in a stupid thing that he was resurrected and led a Dark Side army during the Galactic Civil War. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 22:19, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * No probs. I just wanted the lead-in quotes to be consistent. :) (When we first put them in, a few people got carried away, and Anakin Skywalker had four lead-in quotes at one stage. QuentinGeorge 05:46, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I actually think the Nu quote should go up there. I realize that we can't have to many up there (the Jedi Exile had like seven at one point), but I think the Nu quote followed by the Obi-Wan quote helps emphasize the tragedy of Count Dooku. -- SFH 00:00, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I say no, mainly because it's a quote from a deleted scene that never was in the finished movie. QuentinGeorge 00:29, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, we don't want this to come down to a vote (like on Palpatine), so let's just decided once and for all. I think it should go at the top before the Kenobi quote, but I don't want to start an Edit War. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 12:22, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Why should the quote be a problem? Why should it be discussed? It's just a quote, no problem, up or down, who cares? --Master Starkeiller 21:41, 8 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I uploaded that DVD pic and put it there. --Master Starkeiller 14:44, 9 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * As for that picture, Dooku's face is shaded, so you can't really see him, so I reverted it to the picture where you can see his face a lot better. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 14:46, 9 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Now it's not shaded. --Master Starkeiller 15:20, 9 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you. It looks a lot better now. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 18:42, 9 Oct 2005 (UTC)

His Name
In ANH, Obi-Wan didn't called Vader "Anakin", because that name no longer had any meaning to him. So why don't they call Dooku "Tyranus", Dooku is not a Jedi any more, doesn't that mean the name Dooku has no meaning to him. Double D 19:25, 14 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * It's the same reason Sidious still goes by Palpatine. He wishes to keep a public face of some sort rather than simply coming out and saying "Look, I'm a Sith." Times had changed by ANH. – Aidje talk 20:11, 14 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Plus it's unlikely any of the Jedi would actually know his Sith name. --MarcK [talk] 10:48, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Image
The current one, being horizontal, looks a little awkward on the main page and at Featured article/History. I would suggest we make it a bit more vertical. --MarcK [talk] 10:50, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree. Besides, most other articles had vertical images instead. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 13:09, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Is it okay now?--Master Starkeiller 15:04, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * What? You didn't do anything. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 15:05, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I cropped it. --Master Starkeiller 15:56, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, it still looks the same to me. Cmdr. J. Nebulax 20:29, 20 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Idiots...
Some idiot just changed Dooku's name in dozens of places to "Kolniek" or something like that. Let's get this idiot banned and the page fixed. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:26, 15 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Picture
Would this be a nice pic. to add for the Early Life of Dooku?:Themelle444 14:06, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Nice. It might need to be a little smaller, possibly 250px, but we could always add it in. Admiral J. Nebulax 15:54, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * You can always make it smaller just adjust the "px" 81.243.245.3 18:04, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I know that. I was just saying when it is added to the article, it should be 250px. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:14, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Where is it from? --Master Starkeiller 20:41, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * It's definitely from a comic. ;) Admiral J. Nebulax 20:43, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Haha, that's a start! I placed it in the article. Is it fine? --Master Starkeiller 20:50, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Yep. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:50, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
