Talk:Dooku/Legends

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!!!


 * I see Anakin being a bigger moron than Dooku.

Yes. I wondered about that for a long time as well. Another mistake of his was force-pushing Anakin back after slicing off his arm. During that time, he could've completely decapitated Anakin, preventing Anakin from killing him later aboard Invisible Hand. He DID look sorry for what he had done, though. Maybe Palpatine had already told him to leave Anakin alive. Who knows?-Lord Dooku 04:10, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Another mistake or it he coul have just been plain dumb was that he told obi wanWhat if i told you that the republic was now in the hands of a sith lord called darth sidious. and so on he continues to reaveal stuff.
 * It was Sidious who told Dooku to reveal the stuff to confuse the Jedi with the truth, as revealed in Labyrinth of Evil. Darth Kevinmhk 06:04, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Sorry but thats not really all that possible, first all the events of the phantom meanace and now he reveals sidious, now thats just plain dumb, besides dooku wanted obi wan to join him.
 * Anon, how is that "not really all that possible"? Plus, he only said what he said to deceive Obi-Wan and make it seem like he was on Obi-Wan's side. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 20:05, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

You just cant except the fact that your wrong, sorry dude.


 * Well in anycase thats yout opinion, and these pages are not the place for it Jedi Dude 20:43, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Whatever wierdo freak person!

Hey hey no don't be agressive. Recalling the 2nd film, it seems that Dooku really wants Obi Wan to join him and destroy the Sith, he treats teh Jedi well and could kill lots of Jedis, but he didn't. Is there any novel, comic CANON, that specifies what he did? Did he really wanted to be a "good" guy? We know he was very dissapointed with the Jedis, maybe he really wanted to destroy teh Siths. Again I need to get proofs. Another thing is that this talk between Obi Wan and Dooku doesn't appear in the main article and it should! -Miguel Ricardo-

I agree, it seems to me that Dooku was kind of crying out for someone to save him from the evil of Darth Sidious, but he couldn't just run off or say it out loud because Sidious was listening to him. And yeah, he could've easily killed Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Anakin[though Sidious might have told Count Dooku to keep Anakin alive] if he wanted to, but for some reason he didn't.

 * About the alleged mistake number one: If Dooku had attempted to kill Yoda while he was holding the crane, naturally Yoda would have countered. If he hadn't, he would have died with Anakin and Obi-Wan. If he had, only Anakin and Obi-Wan would have died, Yoda would have lived and might even have prevented Dooku from escaping. Yoda's choice would have been obvious so I wouldn't say Dooku made a mistake. Besides, as it seems, Dooku wasn't intending to kill Anakin, who would have died if Dooku had killed Yoda. Anyway, the article seems to say nothing about Dooku's mistakes so is this discussion essential at all? --Gurbiza 11:00, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

First of all Yoda is alive in IV V and VI is he not? So Dooku couldnt have killed him. Second, Dooku was only a placeholder for Anakin. Palpatine never intended Dooku to be his apprentice. So he couldnt kill Anakin. And last, Dooku preferred Obi-Wan over Anakin. Dooku despised Anakin because he reminded him of himself when he was a pawawan. So he would be going against his own will if he killed Obi-Wan. There, now you can all stop argueing, your questions are answered.

Final duel section
The part detailing Dooku's final battle against Anakin has way too many redudant pictures. I'd say we cut it down to two at most Lalala la 03:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Reminding of a detail
In AOTC we hear Tyranus' name by Jango. Then later we see Dooku on Geonosis introducing himself as Dooku to Obi-Wan. Do we learn later that Dooku is Tyranus in the same movie, or is it a revelation in ROTS? MoffRebus 10:22, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * IIRC, Sidious refers to Dooku as Tyranus when they meet near the end of AoTC. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 21:28, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Not a Sith Lord
Dooku can't technically be a Sith Lord because he was still the apprentice of Sidious. So he does not deserve the title of Darth. Any Thoughts? sorry for not logging in.
 * Er, that's not how it works. Remember, Darth Vader was an apprentice of Sidious too. The apprentice is also a Dark Lord of the Sith and gets the title of Darth. -LtNOWIS 19:49, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Young Dooku Image
There's a picture of Dooku as a padawan on the cover of Star Wars: The Legacy of the Jedi. I don't know how to upload images...well I'm confused with the JPEG, PNG, etc...., but I think that that is a good photo of him as a young padawan, so if anyone can upload a photo of the picture of the cover of the book while cutting away the other parts and centering on Dooku. He's shown right next to the young padawan, Qui-Gon Jinn who's standing next to the young padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi and then Anakin... Cyfiero 01:17, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually, the image in question has already been uploaded way back, but for some reason it was never included in the article. Here, feel free to do whatever you want with it. :) --Tinwe 16:14, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh thanks Tinwe. Marco Lam  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]]( Contact ) 01:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, so I added the image to the article. However, I think it'll look better if it was on the left. So, I'm considering switching the positions of the image of Dooku with Yoda and the image of Dooku with his curved-hilt lightsaber. Any objections? Marco Lam  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]]( Contact ) 01:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I would really rather we not include this image. The article's not supposed to be a gallery of every image of Dooku, the image is a cover so it's not entirely canon, and the green saber + blond just brings in continuity problems. I would prefer to just keep the Yoda image, which is at least an actual event in Dooku's life and not part of a slapped-together montage. Yrfeloran 01:51, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay then, sure thing. But I've seen articles with these kind of images though. I'll have it removed. Marco Lam  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]]( Contact ) 05:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Dooku
Did Lucas explaine why he place Dooku in the movies

I'm not sure, but please sign your post. Cyfiero 04:50, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Dooku's Name?
Is there any canon information, or even fan speculation, about what Count Dooku's first name is? Or is Dooku his first name, and "of Serenno" serves as his surname/family name, as "of (town)" once served Earth nobility in some countries?

 * As of now, there is no canon source giving Count Dooku's full name, or even if he has a longer name than simply "Count Dooku". There are other cases in SW: While most Naboos have first name plus surname, Palpatine uses only one word; Steve Sansweet parallelizes this to real-world Indonesia, where "many people go by one name." Some fans (such as infamous Michael Suttle) have speculated and provided their own, fanon first names for Dooku - none of them is officially aproved by Lucas or subsidiaries. Not even your theory, "Count (first name:) Dooku (last name:) of Serenno", has been confirmed (although it is one of the more reasonable theories I've seen). Hope I've answered your question. --Skippy Farlstendoiro 08:28, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * 'Count Dooku of Serenno' as a phrase has been used in canon (Dark Rendezvous), but it's a minority usage. There is evidence that there may be multiple lines of Counts on Serenno (Rule of Two), but that's ancient and the modern situation is unknown. Count [name] with [name] being the name of the noble house is one use on Serenno in Rule of Two, but I'm unwilling to currently extrapolate. Everyone just calls him Dooku as a Jedi.Yrfeloran 16:49, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Canon
I don't recall the story of the creation of Grievous, especially the blood transfusion from Sifo-Dyas as being classified canon. Did I miss that, or should it be set aside as ambiguously canon in the article? Micah Giett 19:04, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It was mentioned in Insider, in a Grievous article, IIRC, and said to -not- give him Force powers Yrfeloran 16:49, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Eyes of a Sith
I personally never thought Dooku was a true sith but i was wondering if he even ever had the yellow eyes of a sith lord? Was that ever in a book/cartoon? Steves490 04:40, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Name?
I think we should change the title to Darth Tyranus... Aquenral 17:00, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * He was never publicly known as Tyranus. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 17:05, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
