All right, then, Zephiel. We're good, and we'll just agree to disagree. As for ACstyles, I think he's a good debater.
Edit: Nebaris (I knew you loved me, lmao), Lightsnake is correct in regards to Sidious's delusion that he was a "savior". Lucas confirmed this in the RotS commentary, saying that "evil never thinks of itself as evil" and that Sidious isn't any different.
"Sidious does not consider himself evil but rather a savior." page 194 of the Complete Visual Dictionary.

Now while Lucas did not paint the portrait that well in the movies, we learn very well in the EU that Dooku is not "evil" in the Sith tradition. He's not a Palpatine...but he's not a Yoda, either. I felt he was portrayed and explored the best out of most any character in the Era. A character who can be argued to be virtuous and noble by one person and despicable and evil by another is my kind of character.In fact, let's discuss this point. What do you think Dooku as? Good? Evil? What proof do you have of either?
Well, considering that he did try to persuade Obi-Wan to join him to destroy Darth Sidious (which he refused) near the end of episode II, I'd say he's part good, and mostly evil for the reasons most others have already mentioned...
Needless to say, I didn't like how he was so easily killed off in episode III...

Persuading Obi-Wan to join him, was fake, he told Obi-Wan the truth about Sidious controlling the Senate and when Obi reported this to the council, they immediately denied it and said that Dooku joined the Dark Side and that he was using lies as weapon, it was part of Sidious and Dookus plan.
Ah. That's right. Now I remember...
I had a strange feeling I said something wrong there... Thanks for clearing that up. 🙂
Yeah. They did deny what Obi-Wan had said for the reasons you stated...
