Pity Dooku has to get killed off so early. Lucas just ain't giving these Dark Jedi the on-screen time they deserve. I mean, look at Darth Maul: Got chopped in half. A shame, seeing as how the actor that played him did a really good job. I'll be so pissed if Dooku gets killed by a falling rock in a cave somewhere. He deserves to die in a blaze of glory, honor and rememberance. (Christopher Lee is the best villain)

I wished he had more screen time. He could of finished his rematch with Yoda.

I too was dissapointed with the amount of screentime Dooku got... especially for such a great actor.

I don't get why he didn't say anything before Anakin killed him... shouldn't he have begged for his life? meh.

Also... why didn't Yoda try to track him down to reface him? Yoda owned his arse in AOTC.

He did track him down.

Refer to Yoda: Dark Rendezvous.

Ahhh, fair enough then... so - to save me having to read an entire book - what happened basically?

Did Dooku run again? Surely he can't have beaten Yoda...

I was also surprised the shortness of the duel. I thought it would be longer too before that end.

the duel imo was simply to showcase how much anakin had grown as a jedi... not much else, certainly not giving lee what he deserved...

DeVi| D0do: In the book Yoda was winning, so Dooku launched a missile at the mansion where they were fighting. Dooku ran while Yoda was busy stopping the missile. If it had hit, it would have killed Anakin, Kenobi and two Padawans.

Dooku didn't beg for mercy because he has more dignity than that.

I don't really care.

Me neither.

I don't care if the old asswrinkle was talented and respected in his profession, I just don't care!

no

ask yourself this...what purpose would Dooku have served in the rest of the film? there was no need for him to survive any longer than he did

Rather than beg for my life, I would have blown Palpatine's secret to Anakin. Might as well, seeing as the old bastard had just betrayed me- make his life harder as well!

You never know, he could have bargained his way out of it. Worth a try at least, rather than being silent.

Yes, a shame he had to die to early because I liked Dooku very much. But note the 'had'; the way the story was built he had to be dealt with ASAP.

He should have been in AOTC from the start, to be the opposition all the way, rather than just turning up for the last couple of reels.

He does say somthing to Sidious just before his heads cut off but Lucas cut that part out, it will be on the DVD

I like the fact that Obi Wan was beaten twice by Dooku... I like the fact that he had OBI WANs number and defeated him easily.

As for Anakin defeating Dooku easily, It was bound to happen. He held deep resentment torward Dooku, and it made him powerful. I loved it, I loved the fact that Dooku was killed fast because it showed Anakin had grown in power.
1 General Grevious was killed due to Obi Wans thinking
2 Dooku was killed due to Anakin's grown anger and skill as a jedi
3 Anikan was defeated because he was overconfident with his newly found powers.


Obi Wan has a resume that just kills!
1 Killed a Sith Lord as a padiwan
2 Battled Jango Fett toe to toe and came out a draw. (two smart fighters)
3 Killed Durge from the clone wars
4 Lead the Clone troopers in the Clone wars as a general (several victories too)
5 Defeated General Grievious
6 Survived the first encounter with Count Dooku (saved by yoda)
7 Survived Dooku a second time (saved by Anakin)
8. Defeated Darth Vader (episode 3)




I love Obi Wan... Even in death he gets to use his communing with the force to train and help luke.
He was by far one of the weaker jedi but he was a hell of alot smarter then alot of JEDI. Its what makes him so unique!

i don't think obi was weak. he's one of the best jedi that there was.
and yeah the dooku deserved more screen-time. but the siths did get alot of screen-time. especially vader.
and it would've been good to have 2 siths(dooku+vader) join forces.

the fight should have been longer...reminicient to luke and vader in rotj. anakin should have over-powered him a lot more, not just with that move to chop his hands off.(although, that WAS damn cool.) he should have owned his ass for a little while and toyed with him.

The look on his face says everything that really needs to be said after Palpatine says, "Kill him."

Hehe...the audience gasped at that part, and also when he said "DO IT!"

As if it werent obvious that Palpy=Sidious


I was really looking forward to the Dooku fight after reading the novel. I was dissapointed at how much was cut from it...

I wanted to see Dooku use force lightning again.

Darth maul was a good actor? He had about 4 lines, and he wore heavy make up, how is that good acting?

I suppose if you consider fighting to be a part of acting then maybe he could be. But thats a whole different debate.

I wanted to see Episode III mostly because of Lee and I was really disappointed to realize that his part was only a few minutes long!

Christopher Lee really brought some life to this new trilogy! It's shame that Lucas didn't really use his talents. He has been great as Count Dooku - he is very believable as an all-powerful Jedi. And I loved the line that Lee had: "Twice the pride, double the fall".

Actually Ray Park, who was Darth Maul, didnt have any lines. He was voiced over by a different guy (forget his name).

I still believe that no matter how smart his role was in ROTS, he totally nailed it

I would have prefered if the fight was a bit longer...had Anakin flip sorta like Luke did in ROTJ and then kill Dooku while using his rage..oh well. Still a great flick.

They should of revealed that Dooku killed Sifo Dyas and placed the order for the Clone Army.

nah
