"Well look at you and your pampered life. Your servants, your feasts, your palace. It must have been so easy for you to turn your back on the Jedi Order."
"Yes, I live a privileged existence now. But like you, Vos, I too was taken from my home as an infant and raised in the Jedi Temple. It was only later in life that I discovered my true heritage—a legacy of power and pedigree that was far too intimidating for the Council to accept."
―Quinlan Vos and Count Dooku[6]

House Serenno was the ruling family of the planet Serenno, which was named after them. The other noble houses were under the authority of House Serenno's head, the Count of Serenno.[2] After leaving the Jedi Order, Dooku took up his legacy,[6] and became Count of Serenno.[2] The house's sigil was etched into a stained glass window at the far end of the great hall in Castle Serenno.[2]

Behind the scenes[]

The seventieth issue of the De Agostini magazine Star Wars: Build the Millennium Falcon,[7] published around May 4, 2016,[8] identified the house as "House Dooku" and "House of Dooku".[7]

The house was first identified as "House Serenno" in the 2019 audio drama Dooku: Jedi Lost written by Cavan Scott.[2] According to Scott, "Dooku" does not qualify as the character's first nor last name, with it instead being a singular name.[9] In developing Jedi Lost, which covered Dooku's backstory, Scott considered giving the count another name but ultimately decided against it. As such,[10] Scott has noted Serennian aristocracy only use a singular name while being formally addressed as members of House Serenno. Therefore, Dooku's full name is not "Dooku Serenno," but the count would answer to the formal title "Dooku of House Serenno".[9]

  9. ↑ 9.0 9.1 Cavan Scott (@cavanscott) on Twitter (post): "Don't think of it as a first name, but a singular name. The aristocracy of Serenno only use one name, but use the format Dooku of House Serenno, not Dooku Serenno. In my mind it started as a sign of the importance of independence which runs through Serenno culture." (backup link)
  10. ↑ Cavan Scott (@cavanscott) on Twitter (post): "When working on Jedi Lost we toyed in giving him two names but it didn't seem right, so we settled on the fact that he is Dooku of House Serenno and that the planet took its name from the House. Of course, we don't know what it was called before that... yet." (backup link)
