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)


 * i don't agree with that last part about him going down easier, Anakin tapped into his rage through Obi Wan being hurt, and palpetine surely wouldnt of egged Anakin on if Obi Wan was concious.. Talk
 * No, Anakin was still angry at him for what he did at Geonosis; Anakin would have tapped into his rage even if Kenobi wasn't knocked out. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:46, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The novel has explained it (despite the fact that Palpy triggered the tap in novel while Dooku triggered it in movie), Anakin knew that he could not hold anything back, that 2 of his best frds were in mortal danger now, and his own orothodox Jedi power could never match a Sith Lord, etc blah blah blah. Dooku/Palpy/Ben might more or less contribute to his decision, but like what Star Wars always wanna express, the decision was Anakin's. Darth Kevinmhk 02:32, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, Palpatine might have given some of his power to Anakin for a while so he could fight Dooku. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I doubt that, the last thing Palpatine would try was leaking his identity prematurly. Darth Kevinmhk 13:21, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
 * How would Anakin know, though? Anakin was focused on defeating Dooku, and his rage could have blocked his knowledge of Palpatine giving him more power. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I over heard the conversation and would like to know if obi wan was theyre when anakin was about to kill count dooku and obi wan forbittid anakin to kill him and just arest him and deal with him on coroscant, what would be palpatines reactions? kenobi317 austen landaas
 * i don't understand what you mean really, but i think if you mean if Obi stopped Anakin then Palps would of either taunted Anakin into killing him anyway or had Dooku executed or gotten rid of ;P anyway this isn't the kind of discussion for a talk page Jedi Dude 14:35, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

But that still has something to do with dooku's death right. Well you still awnsered my question anyway, thanks! it would be freaky for palpatine to threat anakin he would kill him when obi wan is standing right beside him.

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)


 * Actualy Obi-wan would know it(fett told him) although i dont think he kne wit ws hs sith name.

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)
 * Actually its form Most Precious Weapon (a Hasbro/Dark-Horse mini-comic)--Themelle444 22:19, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Admiral J. Nebulax 22:45, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Young_dooku.jpg|thumb]] I hope no one gets upset, but I replaced the picture with this one (from the cover of Legacy of the Jedi. I think it looks more encyclopedic, and you can't really read what Yoda says when the other picture is resized, so... It'll still be in the Dooku gallery of course. Naturally you are free to disagree, but I think this picture deserves to be in the article, and the Early life section will get a bit cluttered if we have three pictures there. Opinions? --Tinwe 09:40, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * personally i prefer the old one. Darth Kevinmhk 09:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * If most people think that way, we can always revert. But let's hear what others have to say first. --Tinwe 09:49, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I also prefer the older one. The new one looks too much like a friend of mine. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 10:51, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Afiliation
Should we have it like: "Jedi, Galactic Republic, Confederacy of Independent Systems, as Darth Tyranus: Sith"? Admiral J. Nebulax 12:59, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Master?
I agree with the anon. Unless Dooku was a Jedi Master at 25 or so, he's a Knight in that picture. Yrfeloran 21:03, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Uh, the anon was the one who put in "Master". Admiral J. Nebulax 21:04, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Apologies, clearly should not edit when sleep-deprived. Yrfeloran 21:08, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about it. Admiral J. Nebulax 22:36, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Main photo
Most characters that appeared on the films have promotional photos in the infobox. Does anybody have a good quality promotional of Dooku for the infobox?--Gonzalo84 01:18, 5 March 2006 (UTC) --Redemption 22:00, 1 May 2006 (UTC) I don't know why you are being so hostile Jack. If you have a problem with what he have find something better. Berating the picture doesn't really help. --DannyBoy7783 05:36, 10 May 2006 (UTC) --Redemption 19:48, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll see if I can find one. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 01:20, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * That looks pretty good. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:13, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * That picture is horrible. Some seriously bad photo editing went on here. The edges weren't erased that well and his clothing was blurred or had various filters applied, probably to obscure something wrong in the image. I didn't upload it yet, but what about this image: --DannyBoy7783 14:17, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I also found this one --DannyBoy7783 14:27, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I see no problem with this current one. Plus, we want full-body shots. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:10, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It's been obviously digitally manipulated. I see that as a big problem. There has to be something better. Also, main pics are usually not full body shots Jack. I don't know how much knowledge of photoshop you have Jack, but there is a filter option that can blur and smudge areas but maintain edges. That's what's been done here. --DannyBoy7783 20:42, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * While it is obvious, I don't see any blurs. And we normally want full-body images, DannyBoy, because they're, in my opinion, more encyclopedic. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:32, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Full-body images may be more encyclopedic, but badly-hacked Photoshopped shots surely aren't. I concur that an unShopped headshot would be a better choice until we can find a more appropriate full-body picture. jSarek 21:52, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * How about we see if we can find a better full-body picture first? There has to be one. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:53, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, if you guys don't like this one, I can probably get another within a week. --Redemption 21:55, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I still say this is a good one, but since I'm outnumbered, please do so. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:58, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh believe me. Your going to wonder why you liked this image so much when the new one is uploaded (I'm not sure when though) --Redemption 22:00, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * We'll see about that... ;) Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:02, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with jSarek. I'm going to upload one of those for the time being. Feel free to replace it if something better comes along.--DannyBoy7783 23:12, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * "if something better comes along". About every picture of Dooku fits that description. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:48, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * This one that is now up is blurry. There are many better pictures to have up there. Why not put the one with Dooku shooting Force lightning up for the tim being until we have a good full-body image? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:03, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * To be more specific, the only thing in this photo that isn't blurry is his head. The rest of it is. But hopefully Redemption will come through with a good full-body image of Dooku. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:22, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Personally I like the Dooku shooting lightning at Yoda one for profile pic. But if using that I guess the uploaded pic is not sharp enough. Darth Kevinmhk 11:40, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * The Dooku lightning picture isn't that clear either. The glare created by the lightning washes out the rest of the image. Aren't there silly promotional photos of Dooku too? The ones with the grey background? Those I imagine would be the most sharp and clear. --DannyBoy7783 12:09, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, promotional images might work, but too bad I need my eyes checked. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:09, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's that blurry, but I'm not too thrilled about a main photo being only half his face. -- SFH 19:12, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. A much better photo is needed. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:13, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, all I can tell you is that it won't be up this weekened unfortunatly. Perhaps Monday (reasons beyond my control) --Redemption 01:23, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * There's no rush, Redemption. Take your time. We can wait. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:28, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Countdookufullpromo.jpg|thumb|center]]
 * I think it's good. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:49, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

 * I'll add it in now. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:01, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey, I found a very good picture of Dooku that would be good for the main image. This is a smallified version:

http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/326/tyra1vt0.jpg

Tell me what you think --Sauron18 19:55, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

So here it is, and if anyone can find a good place it would be awesome. --Sauron18 20:44, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * good find, but wev'e got a full body shot which we prefer i think, because it shows the full profile etc. It could find a place within the article maybe though when resized? Jedi Dude 20:11, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't a "profile" picture be better for the main while a body shot goes somewhere else inside the article? --Sauron18 20:16, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, main photo or not I uploaded the picture, but I don't know exactly where it could go in the article (Since When I first saw it I thought of only one place...)

Thing is, Tyvokka -clearly- predates on the curved thing, and you can actually see his curved blade in the Young Dooku image, so it's not like Dooku was unaware his was like that. Yrfeloran 05:06, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Err... we dont know much about the date of birth of Tyvokka's curved hilt, and Dooku occassionaly switch to standard blade, so Dooku may already had his own curved hilt when taking that photo with Tyvokka. Oh well, I guess I would revert it back to your edit in a minute. But maybe we should stated that the main source of Dooku's design was from Holocron. Since curved hilt is neither Tyvokka nor Dooku's invention - i believe they both learn it from Holocrons. Darth Kevinmhk 05:17, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Put back with a little rewriting. Please check it out Yrfeloran, see if it satisfies your POV. Darth Kevinmhk 05:30, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I rephrased slightly due to tense, but I think I kept what you were trying to say. Yrfeloran 05:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, looks great. Darth Kevinmhk 06:26, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Chosen One paragraph
Just noticed that the article compares Dooku's lightsaber to Japanese Katanas by saying that the handles are similar in design. This is completely wrong. Katanas have straight hilts and curved BLADES, Dooku's lightsaber is the other way around.
 * May someone, say QuentinGeorge, stated the source of that Chosen One view of Dooku? Thanks. Darth Kevinmhk 05:19, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I've re-added this section, since it's from a canonical source (Revised Star Wars Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook) and gives us a good insight into at least certain aspects of his personality. Whether he still holds this view as of ROTS is debatable, but not a reason to totally excise the section. QuentinGeorge 05:25, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Fine to me, and i added the Rulebook into Sources section. Darth Kevinmhk 05:29, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * One of my sources was not actually Dooku PoV on double-checking, which, er, seriously weakens my case, but I nonetheless submit that this is one of the many inconsistancies in Dooku's characterization and should perhaps be stated less strongly than it is, particularly as Dooku is stated to have little faith in (that part of?) the prophecy from the time he leaves the order to LoE. The RCR take on the character(I've glanced over, don't have it on hand) is fairly different from most of the other takes, but to be fair, most of the other takes are also somewhat inconsistant among themselves. :) Yrfeloran 05:53, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's that incosistent - his lack of faith in said prophecy might be linked to the fact that he believes the Council has decided upon the wrong "Chosen One". In any case, it's far less of a contradictory characterisation than say... Yoda: Dark Rendevouz and LOE/ROTS. QuentinGeorge 05:56, 30 March 2006 (UTC)QuentinGeorge 05:55, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Meh....Y:DR can -sort of- work with LoE, and LoE is more than a little off from ROTS(which is off from all prior sources, including the AOTC novelization), while Star Wars: Republic does their own thing, and the video games have him randomly break into the Jedi Temple and cackle about erasing the archives :P. Dooku characterization is such a mess, but still, Dooku using "what little faith he had" in the prophecy to explain why he didn't think he could kill Sidious in LoE is certainly very odd if he thinks himself the Chosen One destined to destroy the Sith. Yrfeloran 06:07, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * As I said, it's quite possible he's changed his mind by the time of LOE (especially after seeing Anakin's exploits in the Clone Wars). QuentinGeorge 06:27, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Although Dooku is quite arrogant, he was smart enough to understand that Sidious was indeed far more powerful than him, as witnessed by the sense of "blackhole of the Force" onboard the Invisible Hand (ROTS Novel), he did not attempt to destroy Sidious because he knew he couldn't. He did not engage Sidious to a duel of death during their first meeting because he was already corrupted and twisted. At any rate, whether he believe the identity of Jedi Prophecy's Chosen One is himself or Anakin is not that important, because he believed this: He believe he could change the Jedi, the galactic government, and the citizen of the galaxy, into the twisted ideal of his, all by himself with his master. Dooku did consider he and his master as true saviors, from a certain PoV. Darth Kevinmhk 06:33, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well said. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:13, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Dooku's power
Ok I'm confused, was he second yoda or third to yoda? As I see it, before Anakin came into the order The most powerful jedi were Yoda, Count Dooku, Jorus C'Boath, and Mace Windu
 * At his prime, he was probably very powerful. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:20, 6 April 2006 (PDT)
 * The Jedi didn't make a habit of comparing themselves, so the point is moot. QuentinGeorge 20:43, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Good point. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:01, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I am getting very tired of seeing these questions pop up all the time. It's so irrelevant. Natural talent, training, personality, etc. all effect an individual. Who are we to say who is more powerful than? --DannyBoy7783 00:10, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly, unless a source specifically says otherwise. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:51, 6 April 2006 (PDT)
 * Well, right. I mean, if it is sourced - fine. But these "who is more powerful than who" discussions that keep cropping up are totally irrelevant. --DannyBoy7783 21:14, 6 April 2006 (PDT)
 * Meaningless or not, I will state some canonical hints here, judge them in your own mind: Dooku and Yoda was said to be the only 2 in the Jedi Order who defeated Mace in a duel (Databank); Yoda claimed that on neutral ground, Mace is perhaps the only one in the Order who can stand against Dooku (Yoda didnt name himself!) (Yoda: Dark Rendezvous); George Lucas claimed that Yoda, Mace and a healthy Anakin/Vader were the only person who can stand against Palpatine (The Making of ROTS); Mace & Dooku engaged briefly in Obsession, it was a standoff and Dooku ordered the MagnaGuards to interrupt and drag Mace away; for how & why Anakin defeated Dooku, check Darth Vader's lightsaber training section (base on canonical source); even on Vjun, a dark side world, Yoda was still able to gain the upperhand in his rematch against Dooku (Yoda: Dark Rendezvous). Hope you enjoy this. Darth Kevinmhk 23:10, 6 April 2006 (PDT)
 * "But these "who is more powerful than who" discussions that keep cropping up are totally irrelevant". I agree. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:39, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Not really if you understood why I asked, what it could mean in helping to keep NPOV in order, and the overall intent behind the question. Because one does not understand the relevance or the point of a question, does not mean it is irrelevant, and to call it so is to remain ignorant. There is a purpose behind it.
 * And what purpose would that be? Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:52, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Please remember to sign your post before accusing others. And in my opinion, determining who is more powerful than who can more or less improve the tone and npov, but we all know that "power" is not the sole factor to determine winner and loser. Dooku said enough in LoE: The unforseen and the unexpected can determine the outcome of a fight as much as power. Apart from power, health, mental & physical condition, environment & location, age, mood, emotion, restriant, equipment, time, species, experience, objectives... I can make the list even longer, and every single one of them do play an important role to determine outcome of a fight. So my point is: power isn't everything. Who is, in theory, more powerful than who doesn't mean he would simply win, all the factor listed above together would determine the outcome, not just power. Darth Kevinmhk 03:03, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * True. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:51, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe that before Anakin the order would have been Yoda, Dooku, Mace Windu, and Jorus C'boath. DarthMalus 17:36, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

The mistakes of Dooku
Dooku made 2 big mistakes on Genosis: One, he didn't just kill our favorite trio with his lightsaber, ending the greatest warriors of the Republic, and 2, When Yoda was holding the crane, he could of killed Yoda with his lightsaber, killing the 4 reatest Jedi, Yoda, Anakin and Obi-Wan would be dead, and Luke never born. Talk about a moron!!!

Where did his Soul Go?
So what happen to Dooku's soul? Did it go to the Light Side of the Force (Heave) or the Dark Side of the Force (Hell)? If he felt sorry about his bad deeds, he could have gone to the Light Side (That what the Roman Catholics believe, that the biggest sinner can go to heave if he feels sorry about his sins. Anakin went to the Light Side because he felt sorry. Maybe Dooku did too. Double D 19:31, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't think so. Anakin proved he was good when he killed Palpatine. Dooku didn't do anything good at the end of his life. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:49, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yoda almost success in turning Dooku back to the light. But when Dooku saw Anakin stormed Vjun, he thought Yoda betrayed him. It was that very moment that he truly forsaken his old life and embrace the cruel darkness completely. Darth Kevinmhk 03:24, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Dooku definitely was lost in the darkness. There's no way Dooku was sorry and went into the light. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:27, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Both Jinn and Yoda stated in Yoda: The Dark Rendezvous that "He thinks he is lying." and in the end of the book The old Jedi sighed. "So close, I was!" I believe Dooku really have some weak and soft moment on Vjun, but it doesnt last long. Darth Kevinmhk 12:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * But, back to the main question, Dooku didn't cross over to the light. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:39, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I never said he has, for that matter. Just hope to provide some background info. :) Darth Kevinmhk 12:52, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I know. I directed my last statement to Double D. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:41, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I guess ur all right. I just find it hard to believes, cause Sidious and Maul were evil from the start, but Vader and Tyranus were good at first and became evil later on. Double D 18:56, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * So? That doesn't mean anything. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:01, 7 May 2006 (UTC)


 * But where is it stated there is even a Hell for his soul to go to in the first place? Quidon88 15:25 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Stop posting in the middle of discussions already. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:26, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, dragged and clicked in the wrong spot. Won't happen again. But do you know? --Quidon88 01:00, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, due to the fact that there are Force ghosts, there has to be a place for the good guys after death, there must be a place for the bad guys after death (after all, Palpatine was trapped in the "madness beyond death" {or however they have it} after his final death). [[User:Jack

But dousn't that mean that only Force Ghosts still exist. The rest just dissapear?

You are not a sith
I would liek to see that quote when he talked to Asajj in the cartoon. It goes something like "You are not sith. You may fight like a sith. You may wear the trappings of a sith. But these things can be immitated however. The Sith lack one thing. Fear. And I seance alot of fear within you."

Sorry if it is in thier but I want to see it. Its a fan favorite. ~Darth Wickan


 * but where would that go, maybe on Asaji's article but not here Jedi Dude 15:42, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

In mu opinion I dont think we need the "he is a politac idealist" quote


 * well, it does reflect his chracter so it stays, this isn't about opinsions anyway? Sign your name as well please. Jedi Dude 22:37, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Battlemaster?

 * For all intent and purposes, which source exactly states Dooku as Battlemaster? And which source state he was "head lightsaber combat instructor and principal for advanced saber combat" ? Even if he was the head, I fail to see head lightsaber combat instructor automatically equals to Battlemaster. Darth Kevinmhk 17:48, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Umm...the head lightsaber combat instructor is the Battlemaster. If you want to find out who originally stated this, ask around or try to find this quote in a publication like Star Wars Insider or something. I just noticed this today, so I have no idea how long this has been stated. Xepeyon 19:51, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The Battlemaster article says that a battlemaster should be proficient in all lightsaber forms. Dooku obviously knew some Shii-Cho, as every Padawan does, mastered Makashi on a high degree, but what about practicing other styles? I know from the EpIII novel that he knew other forms, but it cannot be know how well he could have used them in practice. - TopAce 19:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Consider how Dooku hates Ataru and Jar'Kai, and had no experience with Form VII, I very doubt he knew "all" forms. In addition, not even Cin knew Form VII, so why he was Battlemaster? Darth Kevinmhk 00:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Drallig still practiced more lightsaber forms than Dooku. It's a whole different fish in the keetle that Dooku could have beaten him with his Makashi, but still... - TopAce 10:24, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Not to mention that Dooku surely began his Makashi training after becoming a Sith, being aware that he would have to fight Jedis.Petiflo 10:29, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't want to argue with you, but as far as I remember, the article makes it pretty clear that Dooku was a master of Makashi even before he became a Sith. - TopAce 11:06, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes Dooku was, he was battlemaster becasue simply he was a master in battle, who needs more? Jedi Dude 11:14, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * We had a lot of Jedi worth the so-called "master in battle" honor. I honestly doubt a Jedi title would grant to someone with such casual reason. I begin to wonder if this was just speculation. No one was able to provide an exact source stating Dooku as Jedi Battlemaster yet. Darth Kevinmhk 15:26, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * This is very conflicting. It states he was head lightsaber instructor, yet he dispised(and possibily avoided training in) the forms Ataru and Jak'Kai. The article states that the Battlemaster had to have a deep knowlege of all styles as well as mastering them to an incredibly high degree. If dooku hated them, how could he teach padawans who wanted to be trained in the forms? Cin Drallig is safe, because I read that a Jedi had to master other styles in order to train in VII, and considering that most didn't he probably didn't have to worry about the matter as often. Dispite Dooku disliking the styles, he may have mastered them, is only to use traits to increase his mastery in Makashi. Makashi was meant for 1-on-1 battle, but he cound use it against multipile opponents. He may have taken traces from other styles to perfect this. If he did indeed master them, that could be one of(or the only) reasons for doing so. PS. Shouldn't this be in the battlemaster section considering other Jedi are being discussed here as well as Dooku? Xepeyon 23:49, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Only Makashi was canonically confirmed as Dooku's known style. While we are safe to assume he knew Shii-Cho from his youngling years, Dooku knowing any other forms are just pure speculation, with no canonical source to back up. By the way, I begin wondering about "head lightsaber instructor" too, can anyone please provide a source for that? Darth Kevinmhk 05:42, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Unless anyone could present solid evidence that Dooku was once a Jedi Battlemaster, otherwise I would remove the succession box and Dooku's name from Battlemaster page. Darth Kevinmhk 04:02, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
 * To find out for sure, you'd have to find the person that wrote this, it may even be a caption bubble in a comic. No idea for sure, however. Even if you take his name away form the battlemaster's page, the paragraph still states him as such. There is a site that has some online comics about Star Wars, but I haven't read all of them, nor do they have them all. Just saying, maybe someone could find it there.Xepeyon 13:19, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Hair Color?
Why does it say in the article that his hair is dark brown? I thought his hair color (prior to its turning white) was unconfirmed.
 * In Jango Fett: Open Seasons, it's brown - Kwenn 19:53, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Check the Gallery of Dooku images for pics - Kwenn 19:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Charlemagne's Lighsaber
"The curved hilt of Dooku's lightsaber is similar in design to that of Charlemagne, King of the Franks and founder of the Holy Roman Empire."

The way someone wrote this sentence, it sounds like Charlemagne had a lightsaber.--Darth Oblivion 18:54, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
