Doppelgänger of Dooku



A Force doppelgänger of Dooku, seemingly identical to the real Count but less powerful, served the Confederacy of Independent Systems as one of the real Dooku's Dark Acolytes. Ten months after the Battle of Geonosis, he was assigned to guard Techno Union Foreman Wat Tambor's cortosis battle droid factory on the planet Metalorn, and was killed trying to defend it from Jedi Padawan Anakin Skywalker.

The nature of Count Dooku's doppelgänger is unknown. What is known is vague. By all accounts, this Dooku was a mystical doppelgänger that the real Count had conjured through the Force. Dooku thought of it as a clone, although this may have been a figurative use of the term. After Skywalker killed him, his body simply vanished.

Behind the scenes
All of the other movie Sith Lords have been cloned, made a manifestation of the Force, or resurrected in the Expanded Universe as well. Dooku's predecessor, Darth Maul, rose again in Resurrection; Darth Vader was cloned in Galaxy of Fear: Clones; and, naturally, Palpatine's spirit inhabited clone bodies of himself in Dark Empire. Interestingly, Anakin Skywalker defeated the clones of Dooku, Maul, and himself.
