杜库伯爵也是一代枭雄,在电影中是唯一使用第二型的人,他曾经是个极为强大的绝地武士和西斯领主,但为何关注他的人不是特别多呢?不解

可能LZ这位朋友有点误解,据我了解,杜库的粉丝也不在少数,在下就是其中一个,可以说我一直对杜库传奇经历非常感兴趣。如果仔细翻看论坛的帖子,你会发现有许多提到杜库的内容,很多星战粉丝对杜库也很关注。只是限于杜库个人经历颇具争议,难以三言两语说清,所以至今专门讨论杜库的文章比较少而已。
随便推荐一下自己翻译的小说《绝地传承》http://www.starwarsfans.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=501里面有杜库由少年成长为绝地武士的故事。
附上一张我最喜爱的杜库美图~送给同样喜欢杜库的同好!

鄙人不才,不过以下确实是在wikistarwars上摘录的,翻译者为DarthBear(以前的CN战队成员),也是部分翻译,因为熊说太多,懒的弄了,之前在旧论坛上发过,希望这次有人可以继续翻译完

以下是原文:
"The best of all would be the strongest student, yes? Wisest? Most learned in the ways of the Force? Best of all, Dooku would be! Our greatest student! Our greatest failure."
―Yoda[src]
“最优秀的学生应该是最强的,是这样吗?还是应该是最睿智的?对原力了解最深刻的?最好的,杜库就是!我们最得意的学生!我们最彻底的失败。”
--尤达
Dooku was a Jedi Master who fell to the dark side of the Force and became a Dark Lord of the Sith. Born on the planet Serenno, he was the heir to vast wealth and the noble title of Count. Dooku was taken by the Jedi Order as a child and apprenticed to Thame Cerulian. As a Jedi Knight, he took Qui-Gon Jinn as his first Padawan, and later trained Komari Vosa. Dooku was a respected instructor in the Jedi Temple and one of the most renowned swordsmen in the galaxy. Only Masters Yoda and Mace Windu were considered to have fought on equal terms with him.
杜库曾是一名绝地大师,但他堕入了黑暗面,成了一名西斯领主。他故乡是赛瑞诺星。出生豪门的他继承着巨额的家产和伯爵的封号。他还是个孩子时就进入了绝地教团,师从Thame Cerulian 。他成为绝地武士后,收了奎刚•金当自己的第一个徒弟。后来他还收过科马里 沃撒。作为导师,他在绝地神殿里备受尊敬;作为剑师,他在全星系里数一数二。据说只有尤达大师和梅斯 云度可以和他一较高下。

Dooku spent nearly seventy years as a Jedi, but a disastrous battle on Galidraan shook his faith in the Order and the Galactic Republic. He fell under the influence of Senator Palpatine of Naboo, and left the Jedi Order. After learning that Senator Palpatine was secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Dooku turned to the dark side and became a Dark Lord of the Sith himself. As Sidious's new apprentice, he was given the Sith name Darth Tyranus.
杜库当了将近70年的绝地武士,但是在格里德瑞恩经历过一次战火的洗礼后,他对绝地教团以及共和国的信念产生了动摇。在那卜星,他受了议员帕卜庭的蛊惑,离开了绝地教团。得知了帕卜庭议员原来是西斯大帝达斯•西迪厄斯后,杜库堕入了黑暗面。他拜西迪厄斯为师,成为了西斯领主:达斯•泰瑞纳斯。

Reclaiming his birthright as Count of Serenno and his vast fortune, Dooku conspired with Sidious to force the galaxy into a war that would bring the Sith to power. He forged ties between corporations and planets discontented with the Republic, and became the leader of the Separatist movement that coalesced into the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Thousands of star systems flocked to Dooku's banner and seceded from the Galactic Republic.
杜库继承了巨额家产,成为赛瑞诺星的伯爵。为了西斯的复兴,他和西迪厄斯密谋,在星系内挑起战争。他与那些对共和国不满的星球政府和贸易集团建立起联系,并成为了分离主义势力的头目。分离主义者通过合并,最终形成了独立星系的贸易联盟。成千上万的星球脱离了星系共和国,投靠了杜库伯爵旗下。

As the political leader of the Confederacy, Dooku led the organization against the Republic in a conflict that would become known as the Clone Wars, which culminated in a great battle over the Republic capital of Coruscant. In a duel aboard the Separatist flagship Invisible Hand, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker defeated Dooku. Skywalker then executed the dismembered and helpless Dooku at the instigation of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Dooku's own Sith Master.

作为贸易联盟的政治领袖,杜库向共和国发动了克隆战争。当战火蔓延到位于科洛桑星的共和国首都上空时,战争达到了高潮。在分离主义军队的旗舰“隐形之手”上的一场决斗中,绝地武士安纳金•天行者打败了杜库。在最高议长帕卜庭(杜库的师父)的唆使下,天行者处决了已经毫无还手之力的杜库。

Jedi (102 BBY–32 BBY)绝地生涯
Childhood 童年
"I've seen your heart, and I know how empty it is. I've seen your anger, and I know how deep it is. I've seen your ambition, and I know how ruthless it is. And all of that will ultimately destroy you."
―Lorian Nod[src]
“我看到你的内心是如此的虚无。我看到你的愤怒是如此的深固。我看到你的野心是如此的冷酷。这些最终会把你送上绝路。”
--罗利安•诺德。
Dooku was born on the planet Serenno to a wealthy noble family. His parents were stern, but proud of his Force abilities, and willingly surrendered him to the Jedi Order. Unlike most younglings, he was aware of his origins and felt driven to prove himself worthy of them.[1]
杜库出身于赛瑞诺星的名门望族。他的父母对他管教很严,但不免对他的原力天赋感到自豪,并心甘情愿的把他送进了绝地教团。和大多数幼徒不同,他很清楚自己的出身,并敦促自己不断努力,要对得起这高贵的血统。

By far the swiftest learner in his year, Dooku was particularly apt at telekinesis[1] and combat games such as push-feather. He could easily move objects with the Force by the age of seven,[1] and he won the Twelve-and-Under push-feather tournament at only nine years of age.[10] Before he became a Padawan, Dooku studied diplomacy and signed up for special tutorials in Senate procedure. Master Thame Cerulian chose Dooku as his apprentice as soon as Dooku turned thirteen.[6] Cerulian sat on the Jedi Council, and was renowned as a historian.[1]
杜库是那一学年学的最快的学生,他特别擅长心灵传动和战斗游戏,比如推羽毛(这个。。这么翻好像很垃圾)。他7岁时就能熟练自如的用原力移动物体,并在9岁时赢得了“12岁以下组推羽毛大赛”的冠军。在成为Padawan之前,杜库学习了哲学,还去上了教议会礼节的辅导班。杜库刚到13岁就被Thame Cerulian 大师收为徒弟。Cerulian是绝地议会的一员,是著名的历史学家


Dooku had several friends when he was younger, including fellow youngling Lorian Nod and alien senatorial aide Eero Iridian. However, Lorian Nod was jealous of Dooku being chosen as a Padawan before him. Insecure about his future as a Jedi, Nod stole a Sith holocron from the Jedi Archives, trying to gain an edge over other prospective Padawans. Dooku visited Nod's room to talk his friend into returning the holocron, but the pair were interrupted by Master Oppo Rancisis, who discovered the stolen item. Nod implicated Dooku in the theft, and Dooku was too shocked to contradict him.[6]
杜库在早年时有过几个朋友,包括罗利安 诺德和外星议员随从艾洛 伊利迪安(伊利丹?嘿嘿嘿。。。)然而,罗利安 诺德因为杜库先他一步成为padawan而心存嫉妒。他对自己将来能不能成为绝地武士毫无把握,于是从绝地档案馆偷了一个西斯全息仪,试图用里面的知识来让自己和别的学徒比起来有点优势,好早日成为padawan。杜库去了诺德那里,想劝他把全息仪还回去,可是Oppo Rancisis大师的出现打断了他们的谈话。大师发现了被盗的全息仪,而诺德居然说是杜库偷的,杜库一听就呆住了,一句话都说不出来。

Nod later visited Dooku, and asked his friend to cover for him, but Dooku was still angry with Nod and did not give him any assurances. The next day, the two were on opposite sides in an urban tracking exercise and ended up brawling with each other. After Yoda broke up the fight, Dooku and Nod were examined separately before the Jedi Council. Dooku told the truth about the theft of the holocron, and Nod was cast out of the Jedi Order. The pair became bitter enemies. This experience made Dooku wary of friendship and attachment, and he became paranoid about the possibility of betrayal.[6]
后来诺德跑去杜库那儿,想求他帮自己顶罪,但杜库的火气还没消,就草草应付了一下诺德。第二天,二人在城市径赛练习(这个不知道是啥,只能这么翻了。。)中碰头,最后打了起来。尤达把他们2人拉开后,他们分别被叫到绝地长老会面前接受审问。杜库说出了全息仪被偷一事的真相,于是诺德被逐出了绝地教团。二人变成了死对头。这次经历让杜库厌倦了友谊和依赖之情,并变得疑心重重,生怕自己哪天又遭他人的背叛。

Even though he studied under Cerulian, Yoda took a particular interest in the young Dooku and was frequently his adviser and confidant.[10] The Jedi Master, however, was equally quick to point out Dooku's flaws when necessary.[6] He also assisted in Dooku's lightsaber training as a Padawan.[11] Building from this foundation, Dooku became an accomplished duelist with the weapon. In his later years, few Jedi Masters were considered equal to Dooku's skill with a lightsaber.[1] Under Cerulian's tutelage, Dooku became a powerful Jedi. He was the most gifted Padawan Cerulian had ever seen, and Dooku learned much from his Master.[10] As he grew older and continued to develop, Dooku became an outspoken individual who had strong views about the systemic corruption that plagued the Galactic Republic.[4]
杜库的师父虽然是Cerulian,尤达对他也特别关注,并时常指导他,成了他的密友。但当尤达发现杜库有哪儿做的不好时,也直言不讳。杜库还是padawan时,尤达也帮他进行过光剑训练。有了扎实的基础,杜库成为了一个很有造诣的光剑决斗大师。在他晚年时,没有几个绝地大师能在光剑技艺上和他相提并论。在Cerulian的指导下,杜库成了一名强大的绝地武士。他是Cerulian见过的最有天赋的徒弟,杜库从他师父那里也学到了很多。随着时间的推移,杜库不断成长,他看到了整个星系共和国的腐败,并对此直言不讳。



Knight and Master 武士和大师生涯
"Let it be said that I was a good Jedi. I never shirked from duty, nor was I tempted by the dark side."
―Darth Tyranus[src]
“就当我曾经是一名出色的绝地武士。我从不逃避责任,我也没有被黑暗面诱惑。”
--达斯 泰瑞纳斯
Dooku as a Jedi Knight with Padawan Qui-Gon Jinn, and Jedi Masters Yoda and Tyvokka.Dooku became a Jedi Knight in his early twenties, and immediately took Qui-Gon Jinn as his first Padawan. The pair was quite close in age, with only ten years separating them.[1] During his time as a Jedi Knight, Dooku and his apprentice were assigned to protect Senator Blix Annon from pirates who were kidnapping senators for ransom. On the senator's ship, Dooku met up with his old friend, Eero Iridian, who was now serving as Blix's aide. Pirates attacked the vessel, exploiting weaknesses in the design, and Blix Annon was kidnapped despite the actions of the two Jedi.[6]
作为绝地武士,杜库师从尤达大师和泰沃卡,并收奎刚 金为徒。在他二十岁出头时杜库就成为了绝地武士,并立刻收了奎刚做他第一个徒弟。作为师徒他们二人年龄相差不大,杜库只比奎刚大了10岁。绝地武士杜库和他的徒弟接受指派,保护布里克斯 阿农议员,因为有一群海盗,他们专门干绑架议员的勾搭来捞取赎金。在议员的飞船上,杜库遇到了他的老朋友,布里克斯议员的随从,艾洛 伊利迪安。海盗利用他们飞船设计上的缺陷,攻击了飞船,尽管杜库师徒奋力保护议员,海盗们最终还是绑架了布里克斯阿农。

During the raid, Dooku recognized one of the pirates as his old friend Lorian Nod and became obsessed with not allowing Nod to win. He neither told his apprentice that he knew the kidnapper nor did he inform the Jedi Council of his failure to protect Senator Annon. Dooku suspected that the security weaknesses and malfunctions on the senator's craft during the battle has been deliberate sabotage, since the craft had recently undergone a security retrofit(改造). He traced the sabotage of the senator's ship back to the responsible factory on the polluted ice world of Von-Alai.[6]
在这场袭击中,杜库认出了其中一个海盗居然是他的老朋友罗利安 诺德,并开始把注意力全集中在怎么打败他上。他没告诉奎刚他认识罗利安的事,也没告知长老会任务的失败。他怀疑议员飞船在交战过程中暴露出来的这些设计缺陷和故障是有人蓄意破坏的结果,因为之前这艘飞船已经在加强安全方面进行过了改造。他从这些蓄意的破坏入手,一路顺藤摸瓜,找到了在冰雪覆盖但污染严重的Von-Alai星球上的飞船制造工厂。

With Jinn's help, Dooku discovered that the factory was owned by Caravan, a corporation belonging to Nod that used child labor on its assembly lines. While they were investigating further, Eero Iridian arrived. Telling the Jedi that he'd found a worker willing to talk to them, he lured the pair into an ambush. There, Colicoid Eradicator droids suddenly appeared and threatened the two Jedi. Iridian had betrayed his early friendship with Dooku and was now working for Lorian Nod. Dooku and Jinn were forced to surrender in order to avoid collateral damage to the factory's numerous child workers. They were injected with toxins that paralyzed them and rendered them unconscious. The incapacitated Jedi were subsequently transported to Lorian Nod's headquarters.[6]
在金的帮助下,杜库了解到这个工厂归一个叫旅行队的公司所有,这个公司的头头是诺德,他还在组装线上聘用童工。当他们在进行进一步调查时,艾洛 伊利迪安出现了。他告诉杜库师徒有一个工人愿意为他们提供线索,并引诱他们二人进了一个埋伏。
他们到了以后,克里克德毁灭者机器人突然出现,威胁着杜库师徒。伊利迪安背叛了旧时的朋友,现在的他为罗利安 诺德效力。杜库和奎刚为避免殃及工厂里那么多童工,被迫投降。他们被注射了毒素,全身麻痹,失去意识。 他们昏迷时被押送到了罗利安 诺德的总部。

The two Jedi woke up in an unfamiliar room some time later, restrained by stun cuffs. They had been captured by Nod, who spoke to them and said he planned to hold them until Senator Annon was ransomed. Unfortunately for Nod, the senator died from a sudden heart attack. This panicked Iridian, who rushed into the room where the Jedi were held and began to argue with the pirate leader. During their quarrel, Dooku broke free from his restraints and used the Force to summon his lightsaber through the door Iridian had opened. Dooku then dueled with Nod, intending to kill him. Only Jinn's objection stopped him from slaying his overmatched foe. Instead, Dooku arrested the two pirates and returned to Coruscant with his apprentice.[6]
过了不久,两名绝地武士醒来发现他们在一个陌生的房间里,还带着电击手铐(这个也是瞎翻的。。。不知道stun cuff是啥)。他们被诺德俘虏了,诺德告诉他们等到阿农议员的赎金到手后再放了他们。不幸的是,议员心脏病突发身亡了。伊利迪安慌了,冲进了关押着绝地武士的房间,和诺德吵了起来。在他们争吵之际,杜库挣脱了手铐,并用原力拿回了在房间外面的光剑,还要感谢了伊利迪安进来后没关门(汗)。杜库与诺德决斗,并想杀死他。多亏金及时劝阻,杜库才没下杀手。杜库逮捕了这两个海盗,并和奎刚返回科洛桑。

After further service with the Jedi Order, including a final mission that lasted two years, Jinn was ready to face the Jedi Trials. Before the pair parted, Dooku advised Jinn that his need for connection with other beings was dangerous, and betrayal should never catch him by surprise. Jinn passed the Jedi Trials, and became a Jedi Knight. Having successfully trained an apprentice, Dooku was promoted to Jedi Master. While Dooku and Jinn had been an effective team, their relationship after Jinn's Knighting was distant.[6] However, Dooku was a great influence on his Padawan. Jinn followed Dooku's moral teachings as opposed to Yoda's in later life.[12] He heeded all of Dooku's lessons except the last one, concerning the inevitability of betrayal.[6]
在进一步为绝地教团效力后(其中包括长达两年的最终任务),金已经可以面对绝地试炼了。师徒俩分别之前,杜库告诫金,对别人的情谊的渴望是危险的,并且要随时为他人的背叛做好心理准备。金通过了绝地试炼,成为了绝地武士。由于成功的教导了一名学徒,杜库被提升为绝地大师。虽然杜库和金两人曾经默契无间,但是当金成为绝地武士后两人开始渐渐疏远了。但杜库对他徒弟的影响是无法磨灭的。在道德上金后来一直遵从着杜库的训诫,而这些训诫和尤达的是相抵触的。他一直谨遵杜库的教诲,除了最后那条背叛是不可避免的。

As a Jedi Master, Dooku was one of the most highly regarded lightsaber instructors in the Jedi Order. Recordings of Dooku demonstrating lightsaber techniques were recorded on the Great Holocron and became mandatory viewing for two generations of Padawans. In addition, a lecture by Dooku on telekinesis was recorded by Jedi Master Asli Krimsan and preserved in her holocron. In the recording, Dooku described an encounter he had with Master Yoda when he was seven, in which Yoda asked him to move a pot with the Force. While Dooku thought the pot was light, and successfully moved it, it was actually massively heavy.[1] During his time as an instructor within the Jedi Temple, Dooku's teachings on methods for conquering arrogance were also particularly well received.[13]
作为绝地大师,杜库是绝地教团里最受尊进的光剑导师之一。杜库演示光剑技巧的影像资料被存入大全息仪,并成了下两代学徒的教科书式的样本。不止如此,杜库做的一次对心灵传动的演讲被也被绝地大师艾斯里 克里姆桑保存在了全息仪里。在这份记录中,杜库描述了他七岁时和尤达大师的一次巧遇。尤达叫他用原力搬动一个罐子。杜库以为那罐子很轻,很轻松的就搬动了,而实际上那罐子重的要命。杜库在绝地神殿担任导师期间,他的有关克服自大心理的教条也颇受欢迎。

Dooku was offered a place on the Jedi Council, but he turned it down so that he could remain more independent as a proactive peacekeeper. The Council agreed that his skills made him well suited for such field work.[1] Dooku was known as a political idealist and was skilled at resolving disputes throughout the galaxy. One such intervention was in the Sevarcos Dispute of 52 BBY.[14]. Dooku became friends with many younger Jedi, such as Mace Windu and Sifo-Dyas, and was considered part of the "Old Guard" of potential and then-current Jedi Council members.[15] Some time after the mission to Sevarcos he took a new apprentice, a young woman named Komari Vosa.[1]
杜库曾经被邀加入绝地长老会,但他拒绝了,他想始终做一个独立积极的和平卫士。长老会也认同了这一点,认为像他这么技艺出众的人能担任这样的工作再适合不过。杜库被认为是一个政治理想主义者,很擅长化解星系里的纠纷。其中在BBY52年赛瓦罗斯的一次调停案例中,杜库和许多年轻的绝地交上了朋友,比如梅斯 云度和思佛 戴亚,他还被认为是绝地长老会中现任以及将来成员里的保守派。他去赛瓦罗斯星执行任务没过多久,就收了一个年轻的女徒弟,她叫科玛里 沃撒。



Galidraan 格里德瑞恩
"You killed them. You killed them all. We're all dead."
“你把他们杀了,全都杀了,我们死定了。”
―Jango Fett[src]
詹戈 费特

Of the many missions Dooku undertook, the deadly skirmish at Galidraan was the most disastrous. An emergency call for aid by Galidraan's governor against a Mandalorian invasion prompted a swift but ill-prepared Jedi response. Dooku was the senior Jedi Master of the twenty Jedi thrown together for the task force. Unlike most of his companions, he had some knowledge of the enemy they were facing.[1]
在杜库执行过的无数次的任务中,最具灾难性的要数在格里德瑞恩星的那场生死之战。格里德瑞恩星遭到了曼德罗里安(这帮家伙过了4000年居然还在,汗。。。)的入侵,星球首脑发出了紧急呼救,绝地武士收到并迅速回应,但是他们并没有做好充分准备。由20名绝地武士拼凑起来的救援队奔赴战场,绝地大师杜库担任他们的队长。和他的大多数同伴不同,杜库对他们要面对的敌人有一定了解。

Jedi Master Dooku and Komari Vosa at the Battle of Galidraan.The governor of Galidraan had hired Jango Fett and his followers, the True Mandalorians, to eliminate a local insurgency that was fighting against him. Fett agreed to destroy them in exchange for the location of his enemy, Vizsla, the leader of the Mandalorian splinter faction known as the Death Watch. However, the governor was secretly working with Vizsla and had no intention of letting Fett live after the task was completed. He decided to use the Jedi to destroy the True Mandalorians, and enlisted their aid by claiming the Mandalorians had invaded and were slaughtering political dissidents. The Death Watch impersonated Fett's forces and murdered noncombatants to further incriminate the True Mandalorians in the eyes of the Jedi.[16]
绝地大师杜库和他的徒弟科玛里 沃撒奔赴了格里德瑞恩星的战场。事情起因星球首脑雇佣了詹戈 费特及其下属(他们是真正的曼德罗里安战士)去平息一场本地人发起的叛乱。詹戈答应了这个请求,条件是要为他提供维斯拉的位置。维斯拉是詹戈的死敌,曼德罗里安一个被称为“临终看护”的小派系的头目。但首脑私下却与维斯拉勾结,并打算等詹戈完成任务后直接除掉他。
首脑于是决定借绝地武士的手来除掉这些曼德罗里安战士。他们对绝地武士声称这些曼德罗里安人入侵了他们,还在屠杀持不同政见者。临终看护的人假扮费特的部队,杀了很多非武装人员,这样一来绝地武士也就相信了这些“真正的曼德罗里安人”的恶行。

Dooku was aware of the Mandalorians' reputation as warriors and requested reinforcements from the Jedi Council. The urgency of the situation, however, required him to use only his initial task force.[1] The Jedi were given the coordinates of Fett's camp and surrounded it; Dooku demanded their surrender. Instead, Fett ordered the Mandalorians to open fire.[16] The encounter decimated both sides. The battle concluded after the deaths of eleven Jedi and the near-complete destruction of Fett's forces. Fett was captured alive after killing several Jedi with his bare hands. Upon orders from the Jedi Council, Dooku turned Fett over to the planet's governor without further investigation.[1] The governor took Fett's armor and sold him into slavery.[16]
杜库知道曼德罗里安战士的作风,知道他们不好对付,于是向绝地长老会请求支援。但是当时情况非常紧急,杜库只能用一开始带来的救援队作战。绝地得到了费特营地的坐标,并包围了他们。杜库令他们投降。而费特不但没投降,还命令手下开火。这次遭遇使他们两败俱伤。战斗结束时,绝地武士损失11人,费特几乎全军覆没。在徒手杀死几个绝地武士后,费特被活捉。根据绝地长老会的指示,杜库没有再深入调查事情原委,把费特交给了星球首脑。首脑夺去了费特的装甲,把他卖给了奴隶主。

While he was at the time unaware of the extent by which the Jedi had been manipulated, Dooku learned shortly thereafter how the Council and the Jedi had been used to further the governor's personal motives. This deeply offended Dooku, and he continued to seek out the full story behind the Galidraan debacle. Dooku took a particular interest in the fate of Jango Fett, who had earned his respect as a warrior.[16]
虽然杜库当时没有意识到事情的真相,但没过多久他就知道了绝地长老会和绝地武士从一开始就被利用了,他们牺牲这么多纯粹是为了满足星球首脑的一己私利。这让杜库非常恼怒。于是他继续了调查,想把这件事查个水落石出。杜库对詹戈的去向十分关注,因为作为一名战士,他赢得了杜库的认可。

Dooku's apprentice Komari Vosa was one of the survivors at Galidraan and was said to have killed twenty Mandalorians personally. While Dooku praised her skills with a lightsaber, he was not convinced she was worthy of becoming a Jedi Knight. In particular, he was disturbed by her inappropriate romantic feelings for him and her volatile personality.[17] Shortly after the incident on Galidraan, Dooku refused to recommend Vosa for the Jedi Trials and she was released from the Order.[1]
杜库的徒弟科玛里 沃撒是格里德瑞安一役的幸存者之一,据说他一个人就杀了20个曼德罗里安战士。杜库一方面称赞她的光剑技巧,另一方面觉得他徒弟还没有资格成为绝地武士。除此之外,沃撒对师父不合伦理爱慕之情以及她反复无常性格让杜库非常困扰。格里德瑞安一役过后不久,杜库没有推荐沃撒接受绝地试炼,于是她没能继续在绝地教团呆下去。

Her release infuriated Vosa, but she managed to attach herself to a Jedi mission to Baltizaar to prove Dooku and the Council wrong. While the Jedi repulsed the ruthless Bando Gora cult there, they took heavy casualties. At the end of the fight Vosa was missing and presumed dead. Dooku submitted a protest to the Jedi Council after Baltizaar, arguing that the Council was wasting Jedi lives for political reasons.[1]
这件事让沃撒非常恼怒,但她设法参与了绝地武士一次去巴尔提撒的任务,在杜库和长老会面前证明自己。绝地武士虽然击退了残忍的班多 格拉信徒,但他们自己也伤亡惨重。战斗接近尾声时,沃撒失踪了,据推测已经阵亡了。在巴尔提撒一役后杜库向绝地长老会提交了一份抗议书,他提议长老会不应该为了政治原因而让绝地武士白白送命。




Leaving the Order 离开教团
"Even though I knew that the Senate was corrupt, the Council was fallible, and Jedi training methods far from perfect, I remained with the Jedi Order for twelve years after Galidraan. Why? Because I still believed that I could accomplish some good as a Jedi. I thought I could bring about some positive changes, right certain wrongs, and do better than maintain the status quo. In short, I was an utter fool."
―Darth Tyranus[src]
“我固然知道议会已经相当腐败,长老会也经常作出错误的决定,绝地的训练方法也有很多缺陷,但我还是在格里德瑞安之战后留在了绝地教团12年。为什么?因为我还是坚信我,一个绝地武士,能对此能有所作为。我本以为我能让局势好起来,我以为我能纠正一些错误,我以为我能做更多而不是袖手旁观。一句话,我那时真是蠢到家了。”
-达斯 泰瑞纳斯

Master Dooku and Master Sifo-Dyas.
After the battles of Galidraan and Baltizaar, Dooku became increasingly withdrawn from the Jedi Order. He refused to accept any more missions from the Jedi Council[16] and became concerned about prophecies he felt were coming true about dark times unfolding across the galaxy. While he discussed his concerns with many of the Order's most prominent Jedi Masters, his friend Sifo-Dyas was his closest confidant.[18]
杜库大师和斯佛 戴亚大师。
在格里德瑞安之战和巴尔提撒之战后,杜库与长老会越来越疏远。他不再接受长老会给予的任何任务,而是开始担忧一个预言。预言里提到的黑暗时刻将降临整个星系,而他感觉到这个预言就要成真了。他虽然和很多教团里最有名的绝地大师讨论过此事,他的朋友斯佛 戴亚是他最亲密的知己。

Dooku's growing disenchantment with the Jedi way was sensed by Senator Palpatine, who had been watching Dooku for some time and had plans that required someone with Dooku's reputation, skills, and financial resources. Palpatine was secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, and even before the Battle of Naboo in 32 BBY he had held several meetings with Dooku to feel out his opinions and cultivate him as an ally. Dooku's behavior and beliefs as a Jedi had previously been within the scope of Jedi orthodoxy.[1] However, Dooku flirted with the belief that the dark side of the Force could be called upon without personal corruption as his discontent with the Jedi Order grew.[19]
杜库对绝地之道的逐渐冷漠引起了帕卜庭议员的注意。他已经注意杜库一段时间了,并有一些计划,这些计划只有得到拥有像杜库这样的名望,技艺以及财力的人的帮助才能实现。帕卜庭的真实身份是西斯大帝 达斯 西迪厄斯。甚至在32BBY的那卜之战前他就和杜库会过面。他摸清了杜库的想法,并把他拉拢为自己的盟友。在他还是绝地武士时,杜库一直以正统的绝地信仰约束自己的行为和观念。然而随着他对绝地教团的日益不满,他玩味着一种想法,就是自己不堕入黑暗面照样能使用黑暗原力。

Dooku made several public condemnations of the Senate after the death of his former Padawan Qui-Gon Jinn in a duel with the Sith Lord Darth Maul. This Zabrak was the apprentice of Darth Sidious, raised as a weapon to combat the Jedi Order. Maul did not survive his victory, as Jinn's apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi slew the Sith Lord with Jinn's own lightsaber.[3] Shortly thereafter, Dooku resigned from the Jedi Order, retired to Serenno, and claimed his family title of Count. He neither gave a reason for his decision to leave the Jedi in his public announcement nor did he provide one when summoned before the Jedi Council to explain his actions.[1]
得知他的老徒弟奎刚在与西斯领主达斯摩的决斗中丧身后,杜库对议会进行了几次公开的谴责。这个扎布拉克人是达斯 西迪厄斯的徒弟,他是为了对抗绝地教团而被训练出来的战斗机器。摩的胜利并没有长久,因为他被金的徒弟欧比旺 克诺比杀死。此事过后没多久,杜库就退出了绝地教团,回到了赛瑞诺星,并继承了家族的伯爵头衔。至于他决定离开绝地教团的原因,他既没有向公众透露,也没有告诉绝地长老会。

Dooku's abrupt departure surprised and disturbed the Jedi Order. As a Jedi Master who had voluntarily resigned his commission, Dooku became part of the group later known as the Lost Twenty. In over two thousand years, only nineteen other Jedi Masters had walked away from the Order, and among those Dooku was considered the most bitter loss.[20] A bronzium bust of Dooku was created to join the other sculptures of the Lost in the Jedi Archives.[21]
杜库的突然离开让绝地教团感到惊讶和困惑。杜库在辞退绝地教团的事务后,被列入了“迷失的二十人”之中。在过去的两千年里,除了杜库只有十九名绝地大师离开了绝地教团,而杜库可以算是最令人惋惜的一位。在绝地档案馆里,杜库的铜(汗。。不知道怎么翻译)制半身像和其他19位迷失的绝地的雕像放在了一起。




Dark Lord of the Sith (32 BBY–24 BBY) 西斯领主
"Powerful you have become, Dooku. The dark side I sense in you."
"I've become more powerful than any Jedi. Even you."
―Yoda and Dooku[src]
“变得强大了,你已经。你体内的黑暗面,我感觉到。”
“我现在已经比任何绝地武士都要强大,甚至你。”
--尤达和杜库

Sith apprentice 西斯学徒

Darth Tyranus kneeling before a hologram of Darth Sidious.Dooku's disillusionment with the Senate and the Jedi were no secret to Palpatine, and Dooku was likely partially under Palpatine's influence even before the death of Qui-Gon Jinn. However, Dooku was not yet a Sith, nor was he aware that Palpatine's hidden identity was Darth Sidious. After the Battle of Naboo, Dooku gave some thought to hunting down the hidden second Sith, but concluded that even eliminating both Sith would not halt what he felt was the inevitable advance of the dark side.[18]
达斯 泰瑞纳斯在达斯 西迪厄斯的全息影像面前下跪。帕卜庭知道杜库已经不再对议会和绝地抱有幻想,甚至在那卜之战前,杜库很有可能就在一定程度上受到了帕卜庭的蛊惑。但是杜库那时还不是西斯,他也不知道帕卜庭的真实身份。那卜之战后,杜库曾经想过要揪出在暗处的另一个西斯,但是最终没有实施。因为他认为就算消灭了这两个西斯,他感觉到的黑暗面的降临依然不可避免。

Shortly thereafter, Dooku was approached directly by Darth Sidious. They had a long discussion, and Dooku found that Palpatine's goals were not dissimilar to his own.[18] Despite the recent death of Dooku's apprentice Qui-Gon Jinn at the hands of Darth Maul, Darth Sidious found it surprisingly easy to convince Dooku to ally with the Sith. After seventy years in the Jedi Order, Dooku abandoned his friends and the Jedi way for the dark side of the Force.[1]
在那之后不久,达斯 西迪厄斯亲自找上了杜库。他们进行了一场长时间的讨论,并且杜库发现帕卜庭的目标和自己的很相似。除了在奎刚的死上二人无法和解,西迪厄斯发现杜库轻而易举就被他说服协助西斯。在绝地议会效力了70年后,杜库抛弃了朋友和绝地信条,堕入了原力的黑暗面。

Under the tutelage of Sidious, Dooku was renamed Darth Tyranus and became a Dark Lord of the Sith. With his family holdings on Serenno, he had access to vast reserves of wealth that he used in the service of his new Master. Tyranus was soon fully enmeshed in Sidious's schemes. Shortly after Dooku left the Order, Sifo-Dyas secretly ordered a clone army from the planet Kamino, claiming the army was for the Jedi and the Republic. Sidious informed Dooku of this, and told him to eliminate his friend and gain control over the army.[18]
在西迪厄斯的指导下,杜库更名为达斯 泰瑞纳斯,成了一名西斯领主。有在赛瑞诺星的庞大家产做后盾,杜库用这些资金为他的新主人效力。泰瑞纳斯不久就完全陷入了西迪厄斯的阴谋之中。杜库离开绝地教团不久,斯佛 戴亚在卡米诺星秘密预定了一批
克隆兵,声称这是为了绝地和共和国。西迪厄斯把这个消息告诉了杜库,并要他杀死他的朋友来获得军队的控制权。

Dooku obeyed, murdering the Jedi Master and moving his body to storage on Serenno. He then paid for Sifo-Dyas's clone army under the name of Tyranus.[18] After the death of Sifo-Dyas, Dooku successfully erased Kamino, Dromund,[1] Dagobah, and thirty-five other star systems from the Jedi Archives, despite no longer being a Jedi himself.[22] Additionally, Dooku stole information about secret Jedi hyperspace routes through the Deep Core region in the center of the galaxy.[18]
杜库照做了,他杀了斯佛大师,并把他遗体运回赛瑞诺星储藏。然后他用泰瑞纳斯的名字为这批克隆兵付了款。斯佛 戴亚死后,杜库成功的从绝地档案库(他那时早已不是绝地的一员了)里删除了卡米诺,德罗芒,达格巴以及其他35个星球的资料。此外,他还偷取了位于星系中心深核区域的绝地秘密超空间路线图的资料。

Moving the pieces
"Lord Tyranus, what news of the Mandalorian?"
"Jango Fett will soon become our prime clone. Our plans are proceeding as expected."
―Darth Sidious and Darth Tyranus[src]
Dooku had officially retired from public life, but he was by no means idle. On a mission to the planet Geonosis, on Sidious's behalf, he impressed Archduke Poggle the Lesser with his knowledge of ancient Geonosian atmospheric sailing vessels. The Archduke then presented Dooku with a Punworcca 116-class interstellar sloop as a gift. Dooku was pleased with the ship, and acquired an exotic solar sail in the Gree Enclave to install on the vessel. The sail propelled the sloop and allowed it to go to hyperspace without the use of a standard hyperdrive. This distinctive solar sailer remained Dooku's personal craft for the rest of his life.[23]
“泰瑞纳斯领主,曼德罗里安有什么消息吗?”
“詹戈 费特将会是克隆体的原型。我们的计划进展顺利。”
-达斯 西迪厄斯和达斯 泰瑞纳斯
杜库虽然在公众面前正式退休了,但他一刻都没有清闲。在一次代表西迪厄斯去吉欧诺思星的任务中,他对古吉欧诺森大气帆船的了解给大公小泊格尔留下了深刻印象。大公然后将一搜彭沃卡 116级 星际单轨飞船当作礼物送给了杜库。杜库对这艘飞船很满意,还要求在飞船上再加装一个醒目的太阳帆(gree enclave是啥我不知道,寒。。。)。飞船由帆推动前进,而且这面帆还能使飞船不用常规的超推进器就能进入超空间。这艘奇特的太阳帆飞船后来一直就是杜库的私人飞行器。

Dooku also began to learn Sith teachings from Darth Sidious in The Works, a deserted industrial region of Coruscant.[18] However, his training was soon interrupted by his Master with an urgent matter. The Bando Gora cult had reemerged and were dealing in assassination, deadly drugs, corruption, and chaos. Their influence in the galactic underworld was strong enough that Sidious considered them a threat to the plans of the Sith. This "threat" had grown because of their new leader, Komari Vosa, Dooku's former apprentice. Captured by the cult on Baltizaar and tortured to the point of madness, she had escaped and seized control of the entire criminal organization. Dooku had previously rediscovered Vosa, but was allowing her to live as an "experiment." Displeased, Sidious commanded Dooku to kill his former Padawan.[7]
在科洛桑的一个叫The Works的废弃工业区里,杜库开始向西迪厄斯学习西斯教义。可是,他的训练很快就被一件突如其来的事件打断了。班多格拉信徒死灰复燃,并从事暗杀,贩卖致命藥物,引起腐败和混乱。西迪厄斯认为他们在星系黑社会的影响已经大到会威胁到他的西斯计划。这个“威胁”不断滋长,因为他们的头头是杜库以前的徒弟,科玛里 沃撒。在巴尔提撒之战中,沃撒被信徒抓获,并受到了非人的折磨。但她逃了出来,并设法获得了整个犯罪集团的控制权。杜库曾经找到过沃撒,那时杜库没杀她,想拿她“做实验”,看看她能发展成什么样。西迪厄斯很不悦,命令杜库杀了他从前的徒弟。

Tyranus offers Jango Fett five million credits to hunt Komari Vosa.Darth Sidious also tasked Dooku with recruiting a template for the Grand Army of the Republic's clone troopers, one that was capable of slaying Jedi. Resolving to complete both of these missions at once, he placed an extravagant bounty of five million Republic credits on Komari Vosa, and pitted some of the galaxy's most fearsome bounty hunters against each other to kill or capture her. In the end, the Mandalorians Montross and Jango Fett faced each other on Kohlma, a moon of Bogden. Jango Fett triumphed over his long-hated rival Montross, although he needed some assistance from fellow bounty hunter Zam Wesell to escape after being briefly captured by the Bando Gora.[7]
泰瑞纳斯付给詹戈 费特五百万共和币,要他杀了科玛里 沃撒。达斯 西迪厄斯同时要求杜库招募一个人当共和国克隆军团的训练模板。杜库想马上就完成这些任务,就下了一笔五百万共和币的巨额赏金,悬赏科玛里 沃撒,引起了星系里最可怕的赏金猎人之间为了这笔赏金而互相争斗。最后,在伯格登星的一个月球科尔玛上,一个叫蒙特罗斯的曼德罗里安人与詹戈 费特遭遇。詹戈击败了他的宿敌。他被班多格拉势力抓捕后,在逃脱时曾向同行的赏金猎人扎姆 威赛尔求助

In a brutal fight, Fett subdued Komari Vosa and captured her alive. However, Dooku was also on Kohlma and had observed the fight in secret. He slew his former apprentice with the Force, and then revealed his presence to the surprised Jango Fett. Fett demanded payment, but was intrigued at Dooku's offer of greater wealth if he helped to create and train a clone army.[7]
在一场无情的决斗中,费特打败并活捉了科玛里 沃撒。然而杜库那时居然也在科尔玛,并在暗中观察了这场决斗。他用原力杀死了他以前的徒弟,并出现在当时还没回过神来的费特面前。费特要他的赏金,但杜库说如果他能帮助创造并训练克隆军团的话,就给他更多的赏金。费特对此很感兴趣。

At a later meeting, Dooku and Jango Fett addressed the history that lay between them. While Dooku had discovered most of the true story behind the manipulation of the Jedi and the Mandalorians at Galidraan, he did not know what had happened to Fett afterwards and wished to find out. Mistrusting Dooku because of his Jedi past, Fett attempted to extort further concessions out of him by infecting him with a biological weapon. The Sith Lord feigned defeat and convinced Fett to tell the rest of his tale. While Fett spoke, Dooku healed himself with the power of the Force. Finding his leverage suddenly neutralized, Fett agreed to be cloned on the condition he would receive the first clone unaltered to have for his own.[16]
在后来的一次会面中,二人提到了他们之间不愉快的往事。虽然杜库了解了格里德瑞安一战的大部分真相(绝地武士和曼德罗里安人是如何被利用了互相残杀的),他还是不清楚费特后来怎么样了,而他也很想知道。但是费特想到杜库曾经当过绝地武士,不信任他,于是就用生化武器攻击杜库,想借要挟杜库做更多让步。杜库假装中招,费特被杜库骗到,并把之后发生的事情说了出来。在他说的期间,杜库用原力把自己治好了。费特一看形势不妙,就妥协了,他同意当作克隆体的模板,条件是将克隆出来的第一个人原封不动的交给他。

Dooku's hand was silently behind many events in the years leading up to the Clone Wars. On the planet Ryloth, he supported the attempted coup of Twi'lek exile Kh'aris Fenn, with the intent that under Fenn's leadership Ryloth would eventually secede from the Republic. As part of his plan to seize power, Kh'aris Fenn had Clan Secura heir Nat Secura kidnapped. Nat Secura's father was Lon Secura, an influential clan leader and Fenn's enemy. When Jedi Master Tholme was captured trying to rescue the boy heir, Dooku himself intervened to spare the Jedi, as be thought Tholme could be of later use to him. Due to the actions of Tholme, his former apprentice Quinlan Vos, and Twi'lek Jedi Aayla Secura, Kh'aris Fenn did not succeed in usurping control of Ryloth and young Nat Secura was returned to his family. Though the Jedi had prevented Fenn's victory, they remained wholly ignorant of Dooku's role in the matter.[24]
杜库在克隆战争前的几年里一直默默操纵着很多事件。在莱罗斯星,他支持过特维列克人的放逐者卡里斯 芬,杜库的想法是在芬的领导下,把莱罗斯星球从共和国分裂出去。在夺取权力的过程中,芬绑架了赛库拉家族的继承人纳特 赛库拉。纳特的父亲是隆 赛库拉,他是一名有权势的家族头领,芬的死敌。当绝地大师索尔姆在企图营救纳特时被抓时,杜库亲自出面干涉,放走了这名绝地,因为杜库觉得索尔姆以后还有利用价值。在索尔姆,他以前的徒弟奎因蓝 沃斯,以及特维列克族的绝地武士艾拉 赛库拉的共同努力下,卡里斯 芬霸占莱罗斯星的计划失败了,小纳特也被安全的送回到他家人的手里。虽然绝地武士们击垮了芬,但他们对杜库在整件事里的所作所为浑然不知。

During this time Dooku also assisted a Trade Federation assault on Kashyyyk that resulted in the extermination of the army that served the Wookiee Trade Guild. The guild had resisted Trade Federation attempts to tax them. Since there were no Wookiee survivors of the battle, no rumor of Dooku's presence on Kashyyyk reached the Republic.[25]
在这同时,杜库也协助了贸易联盟攻打卡西克星,全歼了乌奇贸易商队的护卫军团。当贸易联盟企图向商队收税时,商队发起了抵抗。由于乌奇军没有战斗生还者,共和国没有得知杜库的出现。

Creating Grievous 创造格里弗斯
"I have the Kaleesh general. He was not conscious to witness his "Jedi" captor. In fact, he is completely unaware of what has transpired. You may begin preparations for your experiment."
―Darth Tyranus[src]
As the years passed, Darth Sidious and Darth Tyranus made preparations for war against the Republic. They planned to use the droid armies of the Trade Federation and other corporations, and they needed generals for those armies. Sidious considered a Kaleesh leader named Grievous a candidate due to his skill in warfare, and ordered his apprentice to enlist Grievous to their cause.[18]
“我抓到凯尔西将军了。他昏迷不醒,没看到自己被“绝地抓捕者”抓住的一幕,实际上他对发生的一切都浑然不知。你们可以准备开始试验了。”
随着时间的推移,达斯 西迪厄斯和达斯 泰瑞纳斯在为反共和国战争做着准备。他们计划用贸易联盟和其他公司的机器人军团,而且他们需要一个军团将领。西迪厄斯想到了一个叫格里弗斯的凯尔西人领袖当候选人,因为他非常善战。他命令徒弟招来格里弗斯来为他们效力。

Dooku conspires with Geonosian leader Poggle the Lesser.
Dooku in turn spoke with San Hill of the InterGalactic Banking Clan about recruiting Grievous.[18] Grievous had previously been the head of the Banking Clan's droid army, but had left to fight in a war on his homeworld. San Hill, Dooku and Poggle the Lesser—who had remained an ally of Dooku's—then hatched a plan to cripple Grievous and rebuild him as a cyborg warrior under their control. They arranged for an ion bomb to be planted on Grievous's shuttle, Martyr. The shuttle was altered so that Grievous would be ejected when the bomb exploded.[26]
杜库和吉欧诺森的头头小泊格尔一起搞阴谋
杜库与星际银行家族的山 希尔讨论招募格里弗斯的事。格里弗斯以前是银行家族机器人军团的首领,但他离开了岗位,回到自己家乡打仗。山 希尔,杜库和小泊格尔(当时仍是杜库的同盟)三人密谋,想要先把格里弗斯弄成重伤后改造成听他们命令的半机械人。他们设法在格里弗斯的飞船“烈士号”里埋了一颗离子炸弹。飞船经过了一些改造,好让格里弗斯在炸弹爆炸时被弹出舱外。

Grievous was gravely injured in the explosion of Martyr, and by the time Dooku reached the site of the crash, he was already dying. Only a heart stun preserved his life long enough for him to be transported to Geonosis. While Grievous was being shipped to the Geonosian homeworld, Dooku returned to his own homeworld Serenno to collect the blood of Sifo-Dyas, whose corpse was stored there.[27]
烈士号的爆炸将格里弗斯炸成重伤,当杜库赶到坠落地点的时候,他已经奄奄一息了。最后他还是靠心脏麻痹保住了性命,被运到吉欧诺森。在运送格里弗斯的同时,杜库也回到了他的家乡赛瑞诺星,从储藏在那里的斯佛 戴亚的遗体中取得血样。

On Geonosis, the Geonosians encased what was left of Grievous in a metal body and rebuilt him almost completely. The resulting creation retained only part of the brain, the eyes, and a sack of internal organs from the original Kaleesh. Even Grievous's brain was altered and augmented to make the general a more effective tool of war. In addition, Sifo-Dyas's blood was transfused into Grievous during his reconstruction as an experiment in midi-chlorian transplantation.[27] The midi-chlorians, as expected, did not induce Force-sensitivity in Grievous, but they helped to save his life.[26]
在吉欧诺斯,吉欧诺森人把格里弗斯仅存的器官放在一个金属的身躯里,并几乎完全改造了他。改造后的格里弗斯只拥有以前的大脑的一部分,眼球和一些内脏器官。他的大脑都被改造,扩充,令他更像一个战争机器。此外,格里弗斯在改造过程中还被注射了斯佛 戴亚的血液,当作迷地原虫的移植试验。和预期的结果一样,迷地原虫没能激起格里弗斯对原力的敏感性,但是他们确实帮助格里弗斯保住了性命。

Dooku was quite pleased with the finished product. He personally trained Grievous in lightsaber combat, turning the cyborg into an expert duelist. Dooku now had a commander to lead droid armies in the upcoming galactic war, something the Count had no desire to do himself.[18]
杜库对改造后的格里弗斯很满意。他亲自训练了格里弗斯的光剑战斗技巧,使这个半机器人成了一个光剑决斗专家。星系战争即将到来,本来就不想统领机器人军团的杜库,现在有了一个得力的军团统领。

Leader of the Separatists (24 BBY–22 BBY) 分离主义势力的领袖
Main article: Confederacy of Independent Systems 主要文章:独立星系联盟。
Birth of the Separatist movement 分离主义势力的崛起
"He is a political idealist, not a murderer."
“他是个政治理想主义者,不是杀人犯。”
基 阿迪 芒迪告诉帕德美 阿米达拉
―Ki-Adi-Mundi, to Padm Amidala[src]

Count Dooku, Separatist orator.
As plans laid by the Sith for over a decade began to come to fruition, Dooku reappeared on Raxus Prime in 24 BBY, commandeering a Republic communications station[28] and giving a speech that heavily criticized the Republic for its decadence, hypocrisy, and corruption and the Jedi Order for its complacency. Dooku publicly called for entire systems to secede from the Republic and join the Separatist movement.[29] Separatist sentiment indeed soon spread, and on some planets dissatisfaction turned into armed resistance against the Republic. Propaganda in Dooku's name flooded communications networks, though much of it could not be directly attributed to him.[30] Dooku himself had a mobile base of operations and no fixed address. Rumored sightings of him were headline news across the Republic.[29]
分离主义势力演说家 杜库
随着西斯十多年来苦心经意的计划的不断成熟,杜库在24 BBY年在拉克萨斯主星现身了。他占领了一个共和国的通信站,并发表了演说,沉重抨击了共和国的衰败,虚伪和腐败,以及绝地长老会的盲目自满。杜库号召整个星系都脱离共和国,加入他的分离主义运动。分离主义势力的观念很快就传播开来,并且在一些星球上,对共和国的不满演变成武装抵抗。打着杜库的名号在网络上的宣传已经泛滥,而实际上这些宣传里大部分不是杜库发起的。杜库自己则在基地里发号施令,基地是移动的,因此没有固定的地址。共和国报纸头条都是杜库在某地出现的流言。

As his fame grew, Dooku became a figure of great controversy. An unknown party posted a large illegal bounty for his death,[31] and several bestsellers were written about his rise to prominence in galactic affairs.[30] although he subcontracted Holowan's capture to Zam Wesell.[32] Dooku, having convinced Tambor to cancel the other bounty on the trio, accepted the prisoners from Fett. He offered the three of them the opportunity to work for him, in exchange for their lives. Rodd, Groodo, and Holowan accepted Dooku's proposal.[33] Dooku also recruited scientist Jenna Zan Arbor to the Separatist movement, and attempted to enlist Granta Omega, the son of Qui-Gon Jinn's apprentice Xanatos, to his cause. However, Omega was killed before he could enter the Count's service.[34]
随着杜库名声的壮大,他成了公开辩论的话题人物。一个不知名的团体下了巨额非法赏金,悬赏杜库的人头,很多最畅销书写的都是杜库如何在星系政坛上一举成名的。

这是未完成的:

Warning: The following paragraph(s) contain(s) information which ONLY appears in a Star Wars Tales #1–#20 story that has not been referenced elsewhere; therefore, its level of canonicity is ambiguous.
Although Jango Fett spent much of his time training the Alpha-class Advanced Recon Commandos of the Kamino clone army,[35] he was kept on call by the Count for the occasional mission. Shortly before the clone army reached maturity, Dooku sent Fett to kill a group of Kuati rebels that were harassing his allies. The bounty hunter brought his son Boba Fett along, gave him a thermal detonator, and used him as a distraction by sending him into the camp. While Boba was questioned, Jango killed the entire rebel encampment on Dooku's orders. This mission was the beginning of Boba Fett's training as a warrior.[36]

Tales #1–#20 information ends here.
Dooku's next move was to try to arrange the secession of the planet Ansion. Ansion was the hub of a network of minor alliances, including the Malarian Alliance and the Keitumite Mutual Military Treaty. Due to these pacts, Ansion's secession would prompt many other wavering worlds to consider leaving the Republic. Commerce Guild President Shu Mai and Ansion Senator Mousul orchestrated Dooku's plan through various agents, backing the Separatist-inclined Unity of Community government against Ansion's Alwari nomads. The plan failed due to the intervention of Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli as well as their Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Offee. In response, Dooku shrugged off the loss and informed Shu Mai that Ansion was not necessary in the grand scheme of the Separatist movement.[37]

Shu Mai had also dealt with a small rebellion among the secret supporters of secession in the Commerce Guild. Industrialist Tam Uliss wished to step up the Commerce Guild's plans to bring down the Republic despite Ansion's failure to secede and against Shu Mai's wishes. Shu Mai informed Dooku that she had given Uliss's faction an object lesson by killing Uliss in a staged accident. Dooku was pleased, telling Shu Mai that his own plans were nearing completion.[37]

A conspiracy revealed
"As I explained to you earlier, I am quite convinced that ten-thousand more star-systems will rally to our cause, with your support, gentlemen."
―Dooku, to the Separatist Council[src]
Some of Dooku's allies were more reluctant than others. Nute Gunray insisted on the death of Padm Amidala, the Senator and former Queen of Naboo who had led to Gunray's defeat in the ill-fated invasion of Naboo, as a prerequisite for the secession of the Trade Federation.[18] Dooku sent Jango Fett to kill the Senator, but Fett decided to subcontract the task to Zam Wesell. The Jedi thwarted Wesell's assassination attempt, and Fett was forced to kill Wesell and leave without killing Amidala. Obi-Wan Kenobi then traced the weapon Fett used back to the planet Kamino. He discovered Fett there, as well as the clone army that Sifo-Dyas had once ordered. The army was now fully grown and ready for delivery to the Republic.[21]

Fett escaped arrest on Kamino and fled to Geonosis, where a meeting between Dooku, the heads of many major business and economic interests, and selected senators was taking place. Many of these had long been allies of Dooku, such as Commerce Guild head Shu Mai and Archduke Poggle the Lesser. This meeting resulted in the formation of a new Confederacy of Independent Systems to oppose the Republic. Of the major factions present, the Corporate Alliance, Geonosian Industries, the Techno Union, the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and the Trade Federation became signatories to the treaty to form the Confederacy, while the Commerce Guild pledged unofficial support to the fledgling government. Kenobi, still pursuing Fett, discovered this meeting and attempted to inform the Jedi Council. However, Kenobi was captured by the Geonosians midway through his transmission. He was accused of espionage and thrown into a prison cell.[21]

Deciding to interrogate Kenobi personally, Dooku visited the cell where the Jedi was held. The Geonosians had placed Kenobi in a containment field to immobilize him and disrupt his access to the Force. The captive Kenobi immediately accused the Count of treason, but Dooku claimed the Jedi's capture had been a mistake. While questioning the prisoner, Dooku sifted through Kenobi's memories, looking for weak points in his defenses.[38] The Sith Lord then attempted to sway Kenobi to his side, claiming the Republic was incurably corrupt and that Qui-Gon Jinn himself would have joined Dooku if he knew the truth. When Kenobi refused to believe that his former Master would have ever abandoned the Jedi Order and the Republic, Dooku told him that Darth Sidious, a Sith Lord, had control over the Senate. He made one last appeal for Kenobi to defect, saying that together the two of them could destroy the Sith. Kenobi refused the offer. Disappointed, Dooku left the Jedi in his cell and mentioned that it would be difficult to secure his release.[21]

Battle of Geonosis
Main article: Battle of Geonosis
Arena bloodbath
"Master Windu. How pleasant of you to join us."
"This party's over."
"Brave, but foolish, my old Jedi friend. You're impossibly outnumbered."
―Dooku and Mace Windu[src]

Count Dooku enters the Petranaki arena.Obi-Wan Kenobi's transmission to Coruscant had reached Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padm Amidala on Tatooine, and the two of them attempted to rescue Kenobi despite orders from the Jedi Council to stay put. Both were captured trying to infiltrate the Geonosian stronghold where Kenobi was being held. Dooku offered clemency in return for Amidala supporting the Separatists, but she refused. The two would-be rescuers were both sentenced to death in the arena by the Geonosians following a quick trial.[21]

Kenobi had also been sentenced to death in the same manner, and the three of them met again in the Petranaki arena. They were chained to poles, and an acklay, a reek and a nexu were released to devour them. Dooku, Gunray, Fett, and others observed from a high balcony, while Geonosian spectators packed the stands. However, the execution did not go precisely as planned, and the three escaped their chains. Gunray was furious that the three prisoners weren't dying as planned and ordered Fett to shoot them, but Dooku advised patience and countermanded the order.[21]

The three prisoners were still dodging the arena monsters when the executions were interrupted by the sudden arrival of Jedi reinforcements. Anakin Skywalker had retransmitted Kenobi's message to the Jedi Council, and they had dispatched a strike team led by Mace Windu, who surprised Dooku on the balcony, but spoke with him briefly instead of ambushing him. Fett then drove the Jedi Master off the balcony and onto the arena floor.[21]

The clones attack

Count Dooku attempts to flee the Battle of Geonosis."?The Jedi must not find our designs for the Ultimate Weapon. If they find out what we are planning to build, we're doomed!?"
"I will take the designs with me to Coruscant. They will be much safer there…with my Master."
―Poggle the Lesser and Dooku[src]
Dooku had been anticipating the arrival of the Jedi reinforcements and revealed that the captured Jedi were simply bait for a trap. Ten thousand battle droids awaited Windu's task force, as well as numerous Geonosian warriors. The new Separatist Droid Army of the Confederacy overwhelmed the reinforcements, and many Jedi died while Dooku observed from the balcony.[21]

The Count did not join the battle personally, though Jedi Master Coleman Trebor reached the balcony and attempted to attack him. Fett killed Trebor, but was slain himself by Mace Windu when he descended to the arena floor. After the Jedi had taken significant losses and were trapped in the arena, Dooku ordered the droids to cease fire. He then called on Windu to surrender, but he refused.[21]

The remaining Jedi prepared to meet their fate, but their rescue was at hand. Dropships descended from the sky, carrying Yoda and many clone troopers. The Jedi Order had taken command of the clone army Dooku had helped create, just as the Sith had planned. The droids opened fire again, but the reinforcements provided enough cover for the arena survivors to escape onto the dropships.[21]

Similar landings took place outside the arena, where Trade Federation core ships had been parked. A clone invasion swept across Geonosis, and the Separatist forces were forced into full retreat. The leadership of the new Confederacy regrouped in the Geonosian command center, and agreed to abandon Geonosis. Dooku pretended not to know how the Republic had gathered such a powerful army in so short a time, while Poggle the Lesser commanded his warriors to hide in the catacombs under the Stalgasin hive. Poggle also entrusted the plans of the Geonosians' Ultimate Weapon to Dooku to keep the Jedi from discovering them.[21]

Jedi confrontation
"As you see, my Jedi powers are far beyond yours. Now, back down."
"I don't think so."
―Dooku and Obi-Wan Kenobi[src]
Dooku himself fled to his secret hangar on a speeder with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in close pursuit. They arrived as Dooku was preparing his solar sailer for launch and confronted him. Kenobi instructed Skywalker to be cautious in his approach, but Skywalker charged at Dooku. The young Jedi Padawan was unprepared for Dooku's resulting blast of Force lightning that hit him and telekinetically threw him against the wall of the hangar. Skywalker collapsed to the floor, temporarily incapacitated, leaving Kenobi alone to face Dooku.[21]


Dooku battles Anakin Skywalker.Kenobi successfully deflected another blast of lightning from Dooku with his lightsaber, but as the duel went on, it became clear he was outmatched in blade-to-blade combat. Toying with his opponent, Dooku slashed Kenobi in the arm, and then the thigh. Incapacitated, Kenobi dropped his blade and fell to the floor. Dooku raised his lightsaber blade for the killing stroke, but before it fell, Skywalker, recovering from his previous injuries, hurtled across the room and parried the blow.[21]

Kenobi was too injured to rejoin the fight, but he Force-pulled his lightsaber into grasp and tossed it to Skywalker, who then attacked Dooku with both blades swinging. While Dooku was initially driven back, he adjusted his tactics, forcing Skywalker to retreat and destroying one of his two blades. The duel continued, intensifying, until Dooku found an opening in Skywalker's defense and sliced off his forearm. Victorious against both his opponents, Dooku prepared to flee, knowing other Republic forces would arrive.[21]

Before he could escape, however, one last Jedi confronted him: Yoda. Dooku attempted to defeat his old Master with a combination of Force lightning and hurling machinery and parts of the hangar roof at him. When that failed, Dooku insisted on settling their contest with a lightsaber duel. Leaping into action, the two engaged in a fierce duel. Yoda, using his mastery of the Force, showed great agility as he leaped about the room, but neither was able to gain the upper hand.[21]


Dooku meets with Darth Sidious on Coruscant.However, time was on Yoda's side. Forced to act due to incoming Republic and Jedi reinforcements, Dooku used the Force to topple a massive power column towards the wounded Kenobi and Skywalker in an effort to distract Yoda. As the Jedi Master broke off the duel to save the two Jedi, Dooku made his escape in his Geonosian solar sailer. Seconds later, clone troopers led by Padm Amidala arrived in the hangar.[21]

Having fled the battle, Dooku set his course for Coruscant, landing undetected on the Republic capital with his solar sailer. In The Works he met with his Master and informed him that events were moving forward and the long-planned war had begun. Darth Sidious was pleased with what his apprentice had accomplished.[21]

Clone Wars (22 BBY–19 BBY)
Early conflicts
Duel on Bakura

Dooku incapacitating Sora Bulq on Bakura."Anger is useful—unless it is used against you."
―Dooku, to Sora Bulq[src]
Immediately after reporting to Sidious in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis and the beginning of the Clone Wars, Dooku headed to his secret base on Bakura to regroup the scattered Separatist forces. However, Jedi Master Tholme anticipated Dooku's journey to Bakura, and lay in wait with Vaapad master Sora Bulq. The pair hoped to capture the Sith Lord, and confronted Dooku while he was still fatigued from the events on Geonosis.[39]

The three combatants engaged in a ferocious lightsaber duel, during which Dooku used Force lightning to take down Bulq. He then tried to bring Tholme over to the dark side, but Tholme refused. Dooku attacked Tholme, viciously stabbing through his shoulder and back before removing the Jedi's left eye. Finally, Dooku brought the roof down upon Tholme, leaving him under a vast pile of rubble. He then left with the unconscious body of Sora Bulq.[39]

Dooku tended to Bulq's wounds and converted him to the dark side of the Force through persuasion. Sora Bulq would become a loyal ally to Dooku and a valuable asset for the Confederacy during the war. The Count dispatched Bulq to rescue the injured Tholme from the rubble, so that Bulq would be able to work within the Jedi Temple on Dooku's behalf without suspicion.[39]

Artifacts and war machines
"Dooku! I'm going to make you pay for what you've done!"
"Ah, young Skywalker. I sensed your presence near. You will be the first to test my new gift for the Republic. I'm curious what effect it will have on a Jedi."
―Anakin Skywalker and Dooku[src]
As the Clone Wars continued, Dooku became more and more feared across the galaxy due to his role as the head of the Separatist forces. One of the first campaigns in the war involved the re-creation of the Dark Reaper, an ancient Sith weapon. The power source of the Dark Reaper, known as the Force Harvester, was buried on Raxus Prime. While Dooku was supervising this excavation, he placed a live bounty on Jango Fett's son Boba Fett, who had slipped away during the Battle of Geonosis. The bounty hunter and former Jedi Aurra Sing captured Fett and brought him to Dooku on Raxus Prime. Dooku housed the young Fett while he determined how much the boy knew about the Count's Sith identity, and initially indicated that he would take responsibility for his upbringing.[40]

Fett ignored the rules Dooku had set for his stay and investigated the excavation. Irritated at this and by Fett's clumsy threat to reveal his dual identities, Dooku ordered the young bounty hunter to be terminated. However, due to an imminent Jedi attack, he left the task to his new bodyguard, Cydon Prax. As a result, Fett escaped Dooku's enforcers and fled.[41]

Dooku and Cydon Prax found the ancient Force Harvester just as forces led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived and attacked the Separatists with a clone army. Dooku and Prax boarded a cruiser loaded with the Force Harvester as the Republic forces overwhelmed the Separatists, but Skywalker spotted Dooku and charged after him. He confronted Dooku in the cargo bay of the cruiser. Unconcerned, Dooku mentioned he was curious what effect the Force Harvester would have on a Jedi. The two briefly dueled before Prax shot Skywalker with a tranquilizer dart.[5]

Dooku imprisoned Skywalker and took him to Alaris Prime, one of Kashyyyk's moons. He had decided to test the Force Harvester there, but his plan was foiled when Skywalker escaped and freed the Wookiees, rallying a resistance force. In the confusion, Dooku fled, taking the Force Harvester with him. He used the Harvester to drain the life-force from inhabitants of Aargonar, Bakura and Mon Calamari before retreating to Thule to prepare the rest of the Dark Reaper for use.[5]

His plan for the Dark Reaper was finally thwarted when the Jedi attacked Thule. Dooku unleashed the Dark Reaper on the Republic's forces, but Skywalker broke through the Separatist lines to reach it, killing Cydon Prax. Having learned from a hologram of the ancient Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma how to resist the effects of the Sith weapon, Skywalker destroyed the Dark Reaper and the Force Harvester that fueled it. With the Dark Reaper gone, Dooku fled the field.[5] This series of victories was a coup for Republic propagandists, who claimed the Confederacy was on the run. Dooku attempted to refute this assertion in a public statement, claiming Raxus Prime and other worlds were only temporary bases and the most important Separatist planets remained secure and well-guarded.[42]

Another weapon the Confederacy acquired was a new type of war machine, the Decimator. These Decimators were stolen from the Republic due to their potential to swing the war against the Separatists. The machines were captured by Dooku's most trusted general, Sev'rance Tann, on the planet Eredenn Prime. Tann was a Chiss Force-user and a skilled tactician who had served Dooku since before the Battle of Geonosis.[43]

Before Dooku acquired the Dark Reaper, Tann assaulted the Wookiee-inhabited moon of Alaris Prime to capture the activation codes for the Decimators. After that success, Dooku ordered her to invade and capture the Republic energy world of Sarapin with her army. While Tann succeeded in capturing the world, she did not hold it for long. The Republic struck back, retaking Sarapin and later defeating and killing Tann at the Battle of Krant.[43] The Decimators were destroyed in the process, removing the advantage the Separatists had gained from their possession.[44]

A new ally
"The dark side is strong in me, for I am Sith."
"A bold claim, but you are not Sith. You wear the trappings of the Sith, you fight like the Sith, but this can be imitated, however. You lack a vital quality found in all Sith. Sith have no fear, and I sense much fear in you."
―Asajj Ventress and Dooku[src]

Dooku duels Asajj Ventress, who would soon become his Dark Acolyte.Two months after the Battle of Geonosis, Dooku traveled to The Cauldron, a gladiatorial arena on Rattatak. He was hoping to find a new servant to carry out his wishes. Upon his arrival, he was greeted by his host and taken to watch the contest. He soon sensed a disturbance in the Force as Asajj Ventress, a Rattataki warlord, silently assassinated his guide, seeking to impress him. Dooku praised her skills, but told her he wasn't looking for a spy.[45]

Ventress then jumped down into the arena, slaughtering the other gladiators under Dooku's watchful gaze. When she had finished, Dooku applauded her, telling her she was more powerful than he had sensed. Ventress claimed in turn to be a Sith,[45] but Dooku laughed at her before leaping into the arena and denying her claim. Ventress angrily attacked Dooku, but before she could reach him he incapacitated her with Force lightning.[8]

Dooku brought the unconscious Ventress to a room on Rattatak and waited for her to wake up. When she did, he attacked her as she was exploring her surroundings and they engaged in a vicious lightsaber duel across the room, taunting her as they fought. Ventress was skilled, and proved to be a challenge, even for a Sith Lord. However, Dooku brought her down, disarming her of her two lightsabers and then sundering the weapons.[8] Ventress admitted defeat, but instead of killing his opponent, Dooku introduced her to his Master, Darth Sidious, who was impressed by her skill with a lightsaber. Sidious then set Dooku's new servant on a mission to find and kill Anakin Skywalker.[8] Ventress was eager to kill a Jedi, and Dooku gave her a pair of lightsabers that had once belonged to his fallen apprentice, Komari Vosa.[1]

Dooku was confident that she would quickly dispatch Skywalker; Sidious said that it did not matter either way, as she was only an instrument of their plans.[8] Asajj Ventress would encounter Skywalker many times throughout the Clone Wars, though she never did succeed in killing him. She also served Dooku as a commander and acolyte.[46]

Rallying the Confederacy
"Dooku is not the only threat you will face. He has many dangerous servants, as well!"
―Tholme, to Quinlan Vos[src]
During the first few months of the Clone Wars, Dooku spent much of his time inciting systems to rebel and preparing strategies against the Republic. However, mindful of the ultimate goals of the Sith, he also sabotaged some of their potential victories. The Battle of Kamino was designed by Dooku and Sidious to prolong the Clone Wars and scupper any advantage that the Separatists initially had. Commander Merai, a Mon Calamari idealist and one of the Confederacy's best tacticians, planned an assault on the planet Kamino to wipe out the cloning facilities. Jedi Knight Aayla Secura discovered this planned attack, and relayed the information to the Republic. Dooku's agent Tookarti informed the count of these events, but Dooku told him that they did not matter.[47]

The battle went just as the Sith Lords had planned. The Republic fleet ambushed the Confederacy's ships and destroyed many of them. Furthermore, Merai was killed and his fleet routed. Despite the losses the CIS sustained, this was a victory for the plans of the Sith. While Dooku regretted the loss of Merai, Sidious was pleased with how their strategy had effectively ruined all hopes of an early end to the conflict. The critical Kamino cloning facilities had been saved, maintaining the balance of power between Confederacy and Republic forces.[48]

Prevented by Darth Bane's Rule of Two from taking his own Sith apprentice,[1] Dooku instead built a cadre of Dark Acolytes. Along with Asajj Ventress, Sev'rance Tann and Sora Bulq, Dooku enlisted former Jedi Tol Skorr and Kadrian Sey,[49] as well as other Force-users such as Trenox and Saato.[50] He honed their skills but taught them few, if any, of the Sith secrets.[10]

On the galactic scale of the war, Dooku's charisma swayed many to the Confederate cause—whole star systems pledged themselves to the Separatist cause on the former Jedi's words alone. In addition to his Force adepts, Dooku recruited warriors like the Gen'Dai mercenary Durge to augment the Confederacy's already potent arsenal.[51] Even the Jedi Order was not initially united against the Separatists, as a few Jedi even joined Dooku's forces, while others had refused to join their comrades in the war. One Jedi allied with Dooku, Sora Bulq, exploited the Republic's ignorance over his true allegiance and attempted to convince more Jedi to ally with the Separatists at a meeting at his family estate on the moon of Ruul.[52]

This plot to divide the Jedi failed due to the intervention of Mace Windu, who unmasked Bulq as a traitor. Sian Jeisel, one of the wavering Jedi Bulq had invited to Ruul,[52] even agreed to lead clones in the war. She and two other Jedi, Masters Kai Justiss and Tsui Choi, were on a Republic troopship that was captured by Dooku's forces. The Jedi expected to be killed, but Dooku unexpectedly ordered their release, claiming that all Jedi were his brothers and sisters. Bulq questioned him about this approach in private, and Dooku said that the purpose was to sow dissension among the Jedi, and that even mercy had its uses.[49]

Three months after the death of Sev'rance Tann, his favored general, Dooku had yet to replace her as the leader of his armies. To choose a successor, he pitted Commanders Ventress, Durge, and General Grievous against each other on the Trenchant Space Station. Grievous was more than a match for his two opponents, even though they worked together against him. Dooku rewarded the cyborg with command of the Confederacy's armies, while Ventress and Durge were left to recuperate in a bacta tank.[53]

Grievous proved a worthy choice as Supreme Commander. He was revealed to the Jedi on Hypori to devastating effect, outmaneuvering five Jedi at once. His emergence as the commander of the Confederacy's droid armies changed the course of the war from then on, and he slew many Jedi personally.[54]

The conflict spreads
"In league with the wicked Count Dooku, more and more planets slip…"
―Yoda[src]

Count Dooku allying with the Quarren Isolation League.As the war progressed, Dooku sent Durge to Muunilinst to aid San Hill in repelling an imminent Republic assault[55] and pushed the Quarren Isolation League to war on Mon Calamari.[56] He also dispatched droids to Ilum in order to strike a devastating blow at the heart of the Jedi Order[57] and advised Shogar Tok, who was fighting Republic forces on Brentaal IV.[58]

Five months after the Battle of Geonosis, Dooku watched the testing of a new superweapon, the Planet Killer, a device capable of destroying a planet, to see whether it would prove more useful to the Sith than the planned Ultimate Weapon. Due to the intervention of Mace Windu, the weapon was disabled before it went off, and Dooku had its creator removed.[59]

Dooku also took part in missions to recruit more planets to the side of the Separatists. At a meeting on Null he tried to recruit the leaders of several strategic worlds, including Junction V, into the Confederacy's fold. His old enemy Lorian Nod, somewhat reformed, was now running Junction 5 and pretended to be his ally. Nod had once again betrayed Dooku, though, and was working with Yoda and the Jedi to thwart the Count's plan.[6]

Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived on Null to investigate and found that Dooku had hired an assassin to kill Samish Kash, another of the leaders there. At the meeting itself, the leaders collectively decided to stay with the Republic. Displeased, Dooku unleashed battle droids on the dignitaries, but they were all saved by Skywalker and Kenobi, who collapsed part of the room the meeting was taking place in with the Force, crushing the droids. Thwarted, Dooku left the scene, but Nod pursued him and attempted to sabotage his speeder. Nod was unsuccessful, and Dooku slew him personally before departing Null.[6]

Corruption and chaos
Jedi treason
"I've known the truth about you from the start, Quinlan Vos."
―Dooku[src]
Another Jedi, Quinlan Vos, had originally been dispatched by the Jedi Council to infiltrate Dooku's inner circle. This was a risky gamble by the Jedi, as Vos was dangerously close to the dark side, and Dooku knew this, hoping to use it to his advantage.[49] Vos, on his mission to get closer to the Count, dealt with Dooku's agent Tookarti, offering Republic holocomm codes. Tookarti then framed Vos as the one who had betrayed the Republic at the Battle of Brentaal IV. Only a few of the Jedi knew of Vos's undercover mission, so Agen Kolar was sent to hunt the supposed renegade Jedi down. Vos escaped Kolar and continued on his mission.[60]


Dooku with Quinlan Vos.After gaining admittance to the Count's headquarters by fighting his personal guard of Tol Skorr and Kadrian Sey, Vos was accepted as an acolyte. His skills were tested by Dooku and Sora Bulq and found satisfactory, so Dooku asked Vos to accompany him on a mission to Tibrin, the planet of the Ishi Tibs. There, Dooku and his minions met with the leader of Tibrin, Suribran Tu, a notorious dictator hated by the populace. Suribran Tu offered to defect to Dooku and rule Tibrin for the Confederacy.[49]

Dooku asked Vos and Sey what he should do with the Ishi Tib ruler. Sey argued that they should accept Suribran's offer, while Vos said that since he was willing to betray the Republic he could not be trusted and allowing his oppressive government to remain would only prove that the Confederacy was no better than the Republic. Dooku accepted Vos's argument and beheaded the Ishi Tib ruler. The population of Tibrin then hailed Dooku as a liberator.[49]

Vos soon had another mission: to kill Senator Zurros, a Falleen who had earned Dooku's disfavor. Instead of killing the senator, Vos intimidated him into submission. Zurros promised not to betray Dooku again, and Vos took his topknot and a recording of him begging for forgiveness back to the Separatist headquarters.[49]

The Count and his minions were otherwise occupied when Vos arrived. Jedi Master Shylar had been captured trying to infiltrate Dooku's headquarters, and he was interrogating her with the assistance of Sey and Skorr. Shylar was a childhood friend of Vos's who had once held romantic feelings for him, and she condemned him as a traitor, but Vos did nothing to save her, mindful of his cover. Dooku accepted Vos's creative interpretation of the orders he had been given about Zurros. He then returned to the torture of Shylar, who died believing Vos had betrayed the Jedi.[49]

The next mission Dooku invited Vos on was to Vos's own homeworld of Kiffu. The Count had been negotiating with Sheyf Tint Vos, Quinlan's great-aunt, in order to establish a Separatist base on Kiffu's twin planet of Kiffex. Tint refused to accept Dooku's monetary offer for basing rights, and Dooku ordered her killed. While the Sheyf's guards were slaughtered, Vos rescued his great-aunt and led her to safety, killing Kadrian Sey in the process.[49]

Dooku pursued Vos and caught up with him and Tint Vos. His cover blown, Vos attempted to defend his great-aunt, but was quickly defeated by the Sith Lord. Dooku urged him to read the woman with his Kiffar psychometry. Vos did so and learned that his great-aunt had sacrificed his parents to the Anzati to seize power. Overcome by rage, Vos cut down his great-aunt and became submerged in the dark side of the Force.[49]

From then on, Vos became Dooku's assassin, murdering enemies like Senator Viento and his former Twi'lek ally Kh'aris Fenn. As a reward Dooku gave Vos the power crystal of Darth Andeddu's lightsaber.[61]

Sith knowledge

Dooku with Darth Andeddu's holocron."A dark Jedi is nothing compared to the power of the Sith."
―Dooku[src]
As the years passed, Dooku immersed himself fully within the persona of Darth Tyranus, Dark Lord of the Sith. He sought out and collected ancient Sith artifacts, particularly holocrons. In a daring raid on Coruscant, he even breached the Jedi Temple itself. While cortosis battle droids distracted the Jedi Council in the depths of Coruscant,[50] Dooku stole the Sith holocron he had studied as a young man from the Jedi Archives.[44] In addition, he sent his minions Quinlan Vos and Tol Skorr to retrieve the long-lost holocron of Darth Andeddu from the Sith graveyard world of Korriban.[61] Dooku also gave a Sith holocron to fallen Anzat Jedi Nikkos Tyris, one of the founders of the Jensaarai sect.[44]

The Jedi suspected their former comrade was indeed a true Sith, but could not discern the identity of the elusive second Dark Lord. Vos thought Sora Bulq was the one they sought, but this was due to a deliberate deception on Dooku's part. While some of Dooku's acolytes, like Asajj Ventress, were aware of the existence of Darth Sidious, many were not.[62]

Other schemes
"The war progresses well. I have dealt out your deaths, your schemes, your betrayals. I have paid for your war with my riches, my time, my friends, and my honor."
―Dooku, to Darth Sidious[src]
Warning: The following paragraph(s) contain(s) information which ONLY appears in a Star Wars Tales #1–#20 story that has not been referenced elsewhere; therefore, its level of canonicity is ambiguous.
During the Clone Wars, Dooku posted a bounty on Jedi that members of a mining colony attempted to collect. They killed a Jedi named Lunis, but his Padawan Obs Kaj escaped. Dooku shot down the fleeing Padawan and only paid the miners the bounty for the one Jedi they had killed.[63]

Tales #1–#20 information ends here.
While Dooku spent much of his time shepherding the Separatist Council and running the war, he occasionally completed missions for Sidious personally. On one such mission he slipped under the eye of Jedi Ki-Adi-Mundi and Aayla Secura to complete a vital task on the planet Hitaka. The two Jedi had been diverted on a supposedly important mission by Palpatine. The mission they were given was meaningless, however, and served only to distract them from his apprentice's work.[64]

Dooku continued to assist local Separatist leaders, sending droids to aid Alto Stratus in his struggle on Jabiim.[65] Dooku also found it sometimes necessary to take action to protect Sidious's identity, such as when he arranged the death of Jedi General Ronhar Kim at the Battle of Merson.[66]

Balance of power
The war continues
"Though we have had setbacks on vital worlds, we shall avenge the defeats on Muunilinst and Metalorn, and strike back with renewed spirit. Our droid armies, under unfaltering command by the most proven of Generals, are indefatigable. Our flesh-and blood soldiers have iron wills bolstered by the knowledge that they fight for the truth."
―Dooku[src]

Count Dooku and aide in a Separatist propaganda broadcast.As the war continued, Dooku and Grievous planned to destroy an invading Republic army on Viidaav as well as the Separatist-allied inhabitants of the planet by rendering the surface uninhabitable. Droids planted charges on the planet and prepared them for detonation. However, the Republic forces and the Viidaav colonists discovered the plot and fought through the droids to stop the detonation sequence. The detonation charges did not go off, and the planet was saved.[67] In general, Dooku kept a careful watch on Grievous, sending his servant Vulpus to observe the general when he decided to do cyborg experiments on Jedi Padawans.[68]

Despite taking no direct action in the Separatist invasion of the critical communications hub of Praesitlyn, Dooku and Ventress advised Admiral Pors Tonith. Tonith was tasked with capturing the planet and denying its use to the Republic. Opposing him were Jedi Generals Anakin Skywalker and Nejaa Halcyon. Skywalker in particular was being watched closely by Dooku and Sidious, who wished to test his power and bring him closer to the dark side. Once again manipulating the battles of the Clone Wars to suit the Sith schemes, Dooku delayed reinforcements to the Separatists until the last moment, resulting in a defeat for Pors Tonith's forces and a victory for the Republic.[69]

Meeting on Vjun
"I have gone too far down the dark path ever to return."
―Dooku[src]
There were those who thought Dooku might possibly be saved, among them Grand Master Yoda. However, Yoda did not act until Dooku sent a peculiar message to the Jedi Temple. He had spared the life of captured Jedi Jai Maruk and sent him to Yoda with a gift. This gift, a small shell, was significant to both of them, as it recalled a conversation they had had when Dooku was a Padawan. After meditating and receiving insight from the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn, Yoda decided to meet with Dooku on the planet Vjun.[10]

Dooku had stressed the need for secrecy to Yoda, but Yoda informed the Jedi Council and Chancellor Palpatine of the vague outline of his plans. Sidious then confronted Dooku over the meeting, but Dooku maintained he meant only to kill Yoda. To meet with Dooku, Yoda slipped out of the Temple in secret and was replaced by a double. This double's ship was ambushed and destroyed by Ventress. As the galaxy reeled at the apparent death of Yoda, the real Yoda's location was betrayed by the droid Solis, who was traveling with him.[10]

Ventress then tracked Yoda down and attacked the escorts he was traveling with. While she slew two Jedi Masters, she was outsmarted and humiliated by Yoda and her ship was destroyed. Dooku was extremely displeased at the turn of events and was about to order her death. However, Ventress shocked him with a proposal that they both turn on Dooku's Master, Sidious. While Dooku did not accept this proposal, he spared her life and ordered her to his headquarters on Vjun.[10]

Ventress's attack had allowed Sidious to pin down the time that Yoda would arrive on Vjun to meet with his apprentice. As Palpatine, Sidious spoke with Mace Windu and arranged for Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi to be sent to Vjun to assist Yoda if necessary. As they traveled to Vjun, Yoda arrived there and infiltrated Chateau Malreaux, Dooku's temporary headquarters.

Jedi Padawans Whie Malreaux and Scout and the droids Fidelis and Solis had accompanied Yoda to Vjun. They were left behind in the caverns below the chateau while Yoda sought out Dooku alone. Ventress trapped and briefly captured the two Padawans, and both droids were destroyed defending them. Whie and Scout escaped Ventress briefly, but they only escaped death by the arrival of Kenobi and Skywalker. Ventress had been wounded fighting the Padawans and their droids and fled from Kenobi and Skywalker without a fight. Instead, she then stole their ship and escaped off-world.[10]

Meanwhile, Yoda had gained entrance to Dooku's office through the window. Dooku invited him in, and the pair spoke at some length. After an initial conversation about the Count's childhood and family, the Jedi Master confronted Dooku over his choice to join the dark side, and asked him to explain why the dark side of the Force was superior. After listening, Yoda admitted to having some of the dark side in him, but also claimed there was still some light in Dooku. He challenged Dooku to return to the Order, claiming that he would find more forgiveness from his old Master than his new one.[10]

Dooku seemed to consider this, but the two were interrupted by the chaos of Kenobi and Skywalker ripping through the chateau's defenses and defenders. Realizing Skywalker was on Vjun and interpreting this as a betrayal, Dooku lashed out in a cold fury at Yoda. In a brief lightsaber battle he slightly wounded the Jedi Master, but found himself unable to defeat him. Instead, he elected to escape before Kenobi and Skywalker joined the fight.[10]

Battle of Boz Pity
"Even if you kill me, the fighting and death will continue. Of course, you won't kill me. Not today."
―Dooku, to Mace Windu[src]
Asajj Ventress continued her hunt for Anakin Skywalker, and confronted him once more on the rooftops of Coruscant. While she wounded Skywalker in the ensuing duel, Ventress was defeated and thrown off a building.[70] She was seriously injured in the fall, but Dooku arranged for her rescue and brought her to the world of Boz Pity for medical treatment and cybernetic enhancement. While she recovered, Dooku and Grievous adopted the medical facility as a temporary headquarters.[71]


Count Dooku at the Battle of Boz Pity, flanked by MagnaGuards.The Republic believed Ventress had died on Coruscant, but Kenobi was not so sure. He successfully tracked her to Boz Pity, and brought Skywalker, numerous clones and most of the Jedi Council with him. His ship, the Intervention, landed near the Separatist facility, and disgorged an army. While the other Jedi fought the CIS droids defending the base, Kenobi infiltrated the med center where Ventress was being treated in a bacta tank. He found Dooku there, and accused him of corrupting her. Dooku denied this, claiming that Ventress had been consumed by anger when he discovered her. Furious at the implication she was weak, Ventress smashed the bacta tank with the Force and broke free.[71]

Tossing Ventress her lightsabers, Dooku ordered her to kill Kenobi and withdrew. Heading across the battlefield, the Sith Lord was confronted by Mace Windu, who had just taken out Grievous. Windu attempted to kill Dooku, but Dooku outmaneuvered his old friend with the aid of two IG-100 MagnaGuard droids and rescued the damaged general. Entering his shuttle with Grievous, Dooku spotted Ventress running towards them, pursued by Skywalker and Kenobi.[71]

Perceiving she would not make it to the shuttle in time, Dooku ordered Ventress shot and his shuttle left without her. Seriously wounded, Ventress then turned on Kenobi, attempting to kill him for driving Dooku away. Skywalker stabbed her with his lightsaber to save Kenobi. Although all present thought her dead, she survived through a Sith meditation technique.[71]

The final moves
Defeat at Saleucami
"Your little victory means nothing!"
"It means you have lost, Dooku. You will always lose."
―Dooku and Tholme[src]
Quinlan Vos had betrayed Dooku and rejoined the Republic during the war, but pretended to remain a double agent for him. Dooku knew of Vos's continued internal conflict with the dark side, and meant to exploit it. While Vos's heart was with the Republic, the dark side still had a great hold on him. Vos accompanied an army led by Jedi Council member Oppo Rancisis to Saleucami towards the end of the war, and settled in for a siege that lasted five months. The Confederacy was cloning and training Morgukai assassins at Saleucami, creating their own clone army. Jedi Master Tholme had previously infiltrated the Separatist volcano base, and was trapped inside for the entire siege.[62]

Tholme's ongoing sabotage of the base finally became too much of an irritant for former Jedi Sora Bulq, who was leading the CIS forces. He contacted Dooku, who was disappointed in his failure to catch and kill Tholme. After a discussion with Bulq, Dooku ordered that Vos eliminate the Jedi Master for them. Those orders were relayed to Vos in the enemy camp, and Vos confronted Tholme in the lava-filled caverns below the Separatist base. While Vos did not initially intend to kill his former Master, the pair had an argument that escalated to the point of combat. A boulder fell and split the pair, spilling Tholme into a deep lava pit. Assuming that Tholme was dead, Vos returned to the Republic lines.[62]

Later, Vos was again brought into the Separatist base in secret. He appeared before Bulq and a hologram of Dooku, who had one final test for him. Dooku told him that his lover, Khaleen Hentz, had been a Separatist agent all along, and had seduced Vos on Dooku's orders. He ordered Vos to kill her, but Vos refused, as she was pregnant with his child. Instead, he turned on Dooku's minions.[62]

Tholme had survived his fall into the lava. With Aayla Secura, who had infiltrated the Separatist base, he assisted Vos in his fight against Dooku's Dark Acolytes. Bulq and Skorr were both killed by Vos, while Secura slew the Morgukai warrior Bok. Meanwhile, Republic forces destroyed the defenses of the Separatist base and began bombarding it. Vos, Secura, and Tholme escaped the disintegrating base, and the bombardment destroyed the Morgukai cloning facilities. Dooku had lost three powerful allies and an entire army in one battle, but the war waged on.[62]

The brink of disaster
"I am displeased by this turn of events, Lord Tyranus. Greatly displeased."
―Darth Sidious[src]
Dooku had spent much of the war supervising the Separatist Council, allowing Grievous to command the droid armies. After Boz Pity, he made a temporary home on Kaon. A Confederacy defeat at Cato Neimoidia forced Nute Gunray to flee the world, leaving a critical communications device behind. This mechno-chair was Gunray's secret line of communication to Separatist figures like Grievous, Sidious, and Dooku himself. Its capture prompted a crisis for Sidious and Dooku, as Sidious was now in serious danger of being unmasked by the Republic and the Jedi.[18]

Concerned, Dooku traveled to The Works to consult with Sidious in person. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were tracking down the builders of Gunray's mechno-chair to try and find clues to Sidious's identity. Dooku and Sidious agreed to lure Kenobi and Skywalker to Naos III, where they would be attacked by bounty hunters hired by Dooku. Sidious also tasked Dooku with Kenobi's death.[18]


Dooku spars with General Grievous.Dooku's bounty hunters failed in their task, and Kenobi and Skywalker learned about the Sith lair in The Works from the pilot Fa'ale Leh, who had worked for the Sith. This was not in the Sith plan. Shortly after Dooku engaged in a practice sparring session with Grievous,[9] he was urgently contacted by Sidious. The Jedi were investigating The Works, and threatened to discover Sidious's secret headquarters on Coruscant under 500 Republica.[18]

To evade Jedi pursuit, Dooku suggested that Sidious leave Coruscant, but he had other plans. To draw his Jedi pursuers off his scent, Sidious arranged to send Kenobi and Skywalker to Tythe, using Dooku and a Separatist assault as bait. Dooku would then kill Kenobi and lure Skywalker to the dark side. Sidious also ordered Grievous to attack Coruscant with the rest of his forces while the Republic was engaged on Tythe.[18]

On Tythe, Dooku waited in a LiMerge Power plasma facility for Kenobi and Skywalker, who landed and began searching for him. They discovered a hologram of him, but were delayed by swarms of battle droids. Furious, Skywalker gave into his anger and unleashed a Force Scream. This massive release of power caused the roof of the building to collapse on the three of them. The first to extract himself the rubble, Dooku was shocked by Skywalker's power and had a brief moment of doubt relating to Sidious's plans. He quickly overcame it, escaped the planet and jumped for Nelvaan to throw the Jedi off his trail. From there, he jumped almost immediately to Coruscant, where a great battle was already in progress. Grievous had captured Palpatine, and was holding him prisoner aboard the Invisible Hand, his flagship.[18]

Awaiting the Jedi
"Just as Count Dooku predicted!"
―Grievous[src]
The news of Palpatine's capture shocked the galaxy, and many believed that the Republic was on the verge of collapse. Palpatine had carefully plotted his own kidnapping, however, and even Grievous was unaware that his hapless captive was also the feared mastermind behind the Confederation. Arriving on the Invisible Hand, Dooku took charge of the prisoner, leaving Grievous to command the space battle outside.[72]

Late arrivals to the fight, Kenobi and Skywalker mounted a rescue mission to save the Chancellor. They boarded the Separatist warship and began to fight their way through its defenses. Dooku observed the pair and ordered Grievous to herd the Jedi toward him and the Chancellor. Speaking to Sidious, Dooku requested that Kenobi be given one more chance to turn to the dark side, citing that a Jedi of Kenobi's integrity would lend support to the planned New Order. Sidious disagreed. claiming that Kenobi was too indoctrinated by the Jedi to turn, and he insisted Dooku kill the Jedi Master.[72]

Sidious's plan as Dooku understood it was that Dooku would kill Kenobi and provoke Skywalker into enough of a rage that the Jedi would tap into the dark side. At that point, Sidious would reveal himself to Skywalker and convert him to the Sith cause. Dooku would then be "arrested," and defect to the Republic in captivity, re-emerging to aid Sidious in establishing a Sith Empire.[72]

Duel above Coruscant
"I sense great fear in you, Skywalker. You have hate. You have anger. But you don't use them."
―Dooku, to Anakin Skywalker[src]

Dooku incapacitating Kenobi with telekinesis.The day would not turn out that way, however. Both Kenobi and Skywalker's lightsaber skills had improved dramatically since their last duel, although they initially did not reveal this, allowing Dooku to underestimate them. As the duel wore on, however, Dooku realized there had been a miscalculation. Both Jedi suddenly changed their saber styles mid-battle and began to wear down the Sith Lord's defenses, although he swiftly re-adjusted. Dooku had initially been toying with them, but he soon knew he was in for the fight of his life.[72]

Eventually, Dooku was able to regain the upper hand when he used the Force to levitate Kenobi and hurl Skywalker into a wall at the same time. The Count then Force-choked Kenobi and telekinetically hurled him across the room. Kenobi was knocked unconscious, but Dooku collapsed a balcony on the Jedi with the Force for good measure. Getting to his feet, Skywalker carried on the fight alone.[2]


Dooku on his knees before Anakin Skywalker, betrayed by his Master.During their one-on-one duel, Dooku taunted Skywalker, calling on him to use his fear, hate and anger. With Palpatine's encouragement, Skywalker channeled his hatred of Dooku and tapped into the dark side of the Force. Refusing to be intimidated by the Sith Lord's casual victory over Kenobi, Skywalker drove Dooku back and overpowered him. With an elegant maneuver, he proceeded to slice off both of the Count's hands, bringing him to his knees. Unarmed, Dooku was at the Jedi Knight's mercy.[2]

Expecting his Master to intervene and save his life as Sidious had promised to do in the case of defeat, Dooku instead was shocked to see the Dark Lord goad Skywalker to deliver the deathblow. It was then that Dooku came to realize the second deception: Sidious never intended for the Count to survive; he was simply the tool used to create the Confederacy and make Sidious's plan truly possible. Skywalker, holding both his and Dooku's lightsabers crossed before Dooku's throat, beheaded the Count and took one step closer to the dark side.[2]

Legacy
"His death was a necessary loss."
―Darth Sidious, on Dooku[src]
Dooku's replacement as Darth Sidious's apprentice was Anakin Skywalker, whose Sith name was Darth Vader, while Grievous was his successor as the leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[72] Dooku's identity as a Sith Lord and the truth behind the Clone Wars both remained obscure to the public for a long time. The official Imperial propaganda line was that Dooku had never truly left the Jedi Order, and the entire Clone Wars had been a Jedi plot to seize control of the Republic.[15]

Long after the Galactic Empire had fallen, after the destruction of the Tedryn Holocron, two Jedi holocrons and one Sith were discovered by the New Jedi Order. Recordings of Dooku were preserved on all three devices. While the Great Holocron and Asli Krimsan's holocron both showed Dooku as a teacher in the Jedi Temple, the mysterious Telos Holocron contained a narrative by Darth Tyranus of his reasons for leaving the Jedi Order, and shed some light on his true role in the Clone Wars to researchers such as Jedi Master Tionne.[1]

Personality and traits
"He was one of the most brilliant Jedi I've ever had the privilege of knowing."
―Jocasta Nu[src]

Dooku in a calm, calculating mood.Master Dooku was an accomplished philosopher, orator, politician, and warrior, regarded as one of the greatest Jedi ever for his strength of character and his strength in the Force. Yoda considered him both the Temple's greatest student and one of his greatest failures. By the time of the Clone Wars, Dooku had been a practitioner of the Force for nearly eight decades.[10]

Dooku was driven to succeed even as a youngling, and was fully devoted to the ideals of the Jedi Order and of service to the galaxy. He sought to become a great Jedi Master, and did not even consider the possibility of a life outside the Order, though he knew of his heritage as a nobleman and at times felt self-conscious about it.[1] Dooku chose Padawans he thought had the potential to become great Jedi themselves, and endeavored to teach them all he knew.[6] However, his Padawan Komari Vosa was infatuated with him, which was one of the factors that led to her dismissal as his apprentice.[17]

Dooku did not ever forgive betrayal easily. An encounter as a Jedi Knight with Lorian Nod, his former friend who had once tried to frame him, nearly led to Nod's death. However, his Padawan Qui-Gon Jinn successfully appealed to Dooku's honor as a Jedi, and Dooku relented.[6] Dooku perceived the Battle of Galidraan as a betrayal by the Jedi Council of the ideals it was supposed to follow, something that greatly influenced his fall to the dark side.[1] As a Sith, his discussion about returning to the light side with Yoda on Vjun immediately broke down when Dooku discovered that Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were present and interpreted that as a personal betrayal.[10]

As a Sith Lord, Dooku became a Humanocentrist.[72] While he remained a connoisseur of alien art and antiquities,[73] he secretly despised most if not all of the corrupt aliens on the Separatist Council. He divided the entire galaxy into two categories: threats and assets. The threat category was for beings or institutions that interfered with his personal advancement and would have to be eliminated, the asset category being for those who could aid, or at least not hinder his advancement.[72]

By the time of the Clone Wars, Dooku believed that the sorrow and injustice of the galaxy could only be responded to with anger and hate.[10] He came to believe that the Jedi Order should embrace the dark side and rule the galaxy alone without the interference of the Senate. As a Sith, he planned to transform the Jedi into a Sith Army, and intended to forcibly recruit Force-users into such an army.[72] While often assuming a genteel and civilized manner, Dooku had no qualms about torturing[49] or ordering the deaths of hundreds of his former comrades,[4] nor about committing any number of atrocities as leader of the Confederacy.[34]

Powers and abilities
Lightsaber training
"He is a fencer. Leverage, position, advantage—they are as natural to him as breathing."
―Qui-Gon Jinn's spirit, to Yoda, on Dooku[src]

Dooku in the Form II opening stance.Before his resignation, Dooku was known as one of the most skilled duelists and lightsaber instructors in the Jedi Order.[1] Along with Yoda, Dooku was one of only two Jedi who were known to have bested Mace Windu at sparring,[3] and during the time of the Confederacy Crisis, it was said that aside from Yoda, only Windu would have been his equal on neutral ground.[10] Though styles like Form III, IV, and V were more practical in the age of blasters, Dooku's competitive spirit drove him toward the second form of lightsaber combat, Makashi, though he maintained a working knowledge of other forms as well.[18] He was one of a very few practitioners of this dueling-centric lightsaber form in the Order at the time,[1] and unmatched in his mastery of it.[21]

When he became a Sith Lord, Dooku had little left to learn about dueling, though he ended up learning the Sith art of Dun M?ch, or disrupting an opponent's concentration by the use of taunts.[74] He was nearly successful in using Dun M?ch to disrupt Anakin Skywalker's concentration in his final duel on the Invisible Hand. However, his attempt backfired on him fatally, as his taunts only encouraged Skywalker to draw on his anger to break through Dooku's defenses.[72]

Force abilities
"His knowledge of the Force was…unique."
―Jocasta Nu, on Dooku[src]
As a Jedi, Dooku was a renowned student of the Force and learned many of the Jedi arts. He was recognized as a skilled master of telekinesis, and lectured on the subject as a Jedi Master.[1] His skill in telekinesis was usually used to augment his dueling prowess, although he was also capable of a limited form of flight.[8] As a Sith Lord, he sometimes combined telekinesis with the use of Force lightning[4] or Force choke.[2] Dooku had a notable ability to multitask, and used the Force frequently even in the midst of lightsaber combat.[2]

Dooku also had knowledge of the Living Force, and used it once to heal himself of a deadly plague.[16] In addition, he was able to tame animals and bend them to his will, most notably a krayt dragon.[75] As Darth Tyranus, he learned how to forcibly rip information out of the minds of his enemies with the Force.[38] Dooku also mastered the Qey'tek meditation, which allowed him to hide his presence in the Force. Opposing Jedi were usually unable to pierce this concealment, although Kenobi succeeded on Tythe when he was previously aware Dooku was present.[18]

Equipment
Apparel
When he assumed his title of Count, Dooku abandoned his Jedi robes and adopted the style of dress worn by Serenno royalty for at least a thousand years.[76]. He was usually seen wearing a silver-clasped cape over a belted tunic and trousers in varying shades of black or brown. His clothes were made of the finest materials.[77] In particular, his dress boots were made out of rare rancor leather, while all his cloaks were lined with armorweave as a protective measure.[20]

Lightsabers
"Finesse. Artfulness. Economy."
―Dooku, to Grievous on the Invisible Hand[src]

Dooku's standard lightsaber.As a Jedi youngling, Dooku wielded common training lightsabers under the tutelage of Yoda,[6] but after Thame Cerulian took him as his Padawan, Dooku constructed his own lightsaber. It had a cylindrical hilt of fairly standard design.[29]

When Dooku became a Jedi Master, he constructed a more personalized lightsaber, which had a curved hilt that allowed for precise movements and was designed for a Makashi duelist. It could be shortened with the press of a button, allowing for more flexibility in lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat.[20] This lightsaber had a blue blade,[16] and Dooku wielded it during the Battle of Galidraan.[1] Dooku also occasionally carried a more conventional lightsaber as a Jedi Master.[78][1]


Dooku's curved-hilt lightsaber.As a Dark Lord of the Sith, Dooku returned to the curved lightsaber design he had wielded at Galidraan. He installed a red synthetic lightsaber crystal into his curved hilt, the mark of a Sith blade, which also contained a dual-phase setting, allowing him to instantly shorten the blade.[21] His curved lightsaber was the inspiration for the lightsabers constructed by Dooku's final Jedi apprentice, Komari Vosa, and wielded by her as the leader of the Bando Gora. After he slew Vosa, the Count gave these unique weapons to his Dark Acolyte, Asajj Ventress.[1] Dooku's Sith lightsaber was abandoned by Anakin Skywalker on the conning tower of the Invisible Hand, next to Dooku's corpse. The section of the Invisible Hand that contained the conning tower separated from the bridge when the ship broke apart during Coruscant re-entry.[2]

Starships
?The human's starship, it flies as if by magic. If Poggle crosses him, the human might use his magic against us.?
―Unidentified Geonosian guard[src]

Dooku's solar sailer.Count Dooku's personal transport after he left the Jedi Order was a Punworrca 116-class interstellar sloop, a gift from Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser. The ship had a special Gree solar sail that provided an exotic form of superluminal propulsion and was stealthy enough for Dooku to slip through Coruscant's defenses unnoticed on numerous occasions. It was unarmed, although it sported a tractor beam array.[23] Dooku usually left the piloting to a modified FA-4 pilot droid augmented with Vulture Droid programming.[79]

The conning tower of the Confederate command ship Invisible Hand was also refitted to Dooku's specifications. It became known as the "Wizard's Tower," and was both a mobile base of operations and a private sanctum for the Count.[80] The Invisible Hand had previously been Nute Gunray's flagship, but was given to General Grievous when the Separatist military command was centralized.[81]

In a different version of how Dooku recruited Jango Fett to serve as the host for the clone army, Dooku put out an advertisement recruiting Mandalorian aspirants, inviting them to attend an event held at 1138 Miles Lane on Coruscant. In the fine print, it stated the last man, woman, or other standing would be hired. While Dooku observed, Fett showed up and took control of the gathering, verbally abusing and killing his competitors one by one as he enumerated the rules of "Fett Club." Finally, Fett was the last one remaining, and Dooku hired him, telling him to report to Kamino immediately.[82]

At some point during the Clone Wars, Dooku was observing a battle over Kashyyyk from a distance. However, the reception on his television set failed, and he was forced to recruit General Grievous to serve as an antenna for the set. While Dooku was successful in regaining reception, the Separatists lost the battle.[83]

Portrayal

Christopher Lee, playing Dooku's final moments.Dooku was portrayed by Christopher Lee in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Kyle Rowling portrayed Dooku during most of the character's lightsaber sequences, due to Lee's inability to enact these physical scenes because of his age. Rowling's head was digitally replaced with Lee's during post-production.[84]

Dooku was voiced by Corey Burton in Star Wars: Clone Wars[85] and all video game appearances with the exception of Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, where he was voiced by Jeff Bennett.[86]

Christopher Lee is to voice Dooku in the film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and has already recorded his dialogue.[87]

Character origins
The name "Dooku" was based on the Japanese word "doku," meaning poison.[88] In the Galician and Portuguese languages, "do cu," pronounced exactly as in "Dooku," means "from the ass." For this reason, Dooku's name was changed to "Dookan" in Brazil.[89]

Tyrannus—or more properly, Tyrannos—is an ancient Greek word, originally used to describe someone who ruled a city-state after overthrowing the preexisting government. It was a legitimate form of government and the word's meaning was not unfavorable in itself, but over time, as democracy developed, it gained negative connotations and came to mean "oppressor" or "tyrant."[90]

Aside from his name, Dooku has many similarities to Dracula, another famous role played by Christopher Lee. Both are villainous, erudite and sophisticated counts who wear a cape and dress in black. Additionally, Lee's Dracula played opposite Peter Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing on many occaisions.[91] Cushing portrayed Wilhuff Tarkin in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, a character that had some influence on the concept of Dooku.[92]

Continuity
Yoda is heavily implied to have been Dooku's Master in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and some early materials also indicate Dooku was trained by Yoda.[20] However, Thame Cerulian was established as Dooku's Master in the young adult book Legacy of the Jedi, and all subsequent sources on the topic.

The color of Dooku's hair as a younger man is inconsistent, being shown as blond on the Legacy of the Jedi cover, some shade of brown in Jango Fett: Open Seasons and the Most Precious Weapon comic, and black in several other sources, such as Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force. In addition, Dooku's hair had not completely lost its natural color at the end of Jango Fett: Open Seasons, but it was completely white in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, which covered the same time period.


Dooku, young and old.What Dooku's lightsaber color was as a Jedi is also somewhat unclear. He used a green training lightsaber in the Most Precious Weapon comic, and has a green lightsaber similar to his Sith one on the cover of Legacy of the Jedi. Dooku was also depicted with a green lightsaber on the cover of one of the issues of Jango Fett: Open Seasons. However, within Open Seasons Dooku had a blue lightsaber blade.

Originally, Dooku was set to wield two lightsabers in combat against Yoda in Attack of the Clones. However, the idea was later dropped, and Dooku was stated to dislike usage of multiple blades in Labyrinth of Evil, though the comic version of Episode II kept the idea intact. In a likely reference to this cut sequence, Dooku's first action figure included a secondary lightsaber, albeit with a green blade.

A major continuity difficulty was caused by the events of the Game Boy Advance game Star Wars: The New Droid Army. In the final battle of the game, Dooku was defeated and presumably killed by Anakin Skywalker. This was obviously unworkable within canon, so several retcons were introduced. The first was that the Dooku killed was a Doppleg?nger created through the Force.[44] The second was that the Dooku killed was a clone.[10]

Early scripts of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith had additional dialogue during Dooku's death scene, after his wrists had been sliced off. Some of the cut portions of this scene can be seen in in the Episode III novel and the comic adaptation. Some of this dialogue was removed because Christopher Lee felt that it was out of character for Dooku to beg Sidious for his life, and George Lucas ended up agreeing with him.[93]

Warning: The following paragraph(s) contain(s) information which ONLY appears in a Star Wars Tales #1–#20 story that has not been referenced elsewhere; therefore, its level of canonicity is ambiguous.
Although Jango Fett spent much of his time training the Alpha-class Advanced Recon Commandos of the Kamino clone army,[35] he was kept on call by the Count for the occasional mission. Shortly before the clone army reached maturity, Dooku sent Fett to kill a group of Kuati rebels that were harassing his allies. The bounty hunter brought his son Boba Fett along, gave him a thermal detonator, and used him as a distraction by sending him into the camp. While Boba was questioned, Jango killed the entire rebel encampment on Dooku's orders. This mission was the beginning of Boba Fett's training as a warrior.[36]

Tales #1–#20 information ends here.
Dooku's next move was to try to arrange the secession of the planet Ansion. Ansion was the hub of a network of minor alliances, including the Malarian Alliance and the Keitumite Mutual Military Treaty. Due to these pacts, Ansion's secession would prompt many other wavering worlds to consider leaving the Republic. Commerce Guild President Shu Mai and Ansion Senator Mousul orchestrated Dooku's plan through various agents, backing the Separatist-inclined Unity of Community government against Ansion's Alwari nomads. The plan failed due to the intervention of Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luminara Unduli as well as their Padawans Anakin Skywalker and Barriss Offee. In response, Dooku shrugged off the loss and informed Shu Mai that Ansion was not necessary in the grand scheme of the Separatist movement.[37]

Shu Mai had also dealt with a small rebellion among the secret supporters of secession in the Commerce Guild. Industrialist Tam Uliss wished to step up the Commerce Guild's plans to bring down the Republic despite Ansion's failure to secede and against Shu Mai's wishes. Shu Mai informed Dooku that she had given Uliss's faction an object lesson by killing Uliss in a staged accident. Dooku was pleased, telling Shu Mai that his own plans were nearing completion.[37]

A conspiracy revealed
"As I explained to you earlier, I am quite convinced that ten-thousand more star-systems will rally to our cause, with your support, gentlemen."
―Dooku, to the Separatist Council[src]
Some of Dooku's allies were more reluctant than others. Nute Gunray insisted on the death of Padm Amidala, the Senator and former Queen of Naboo who had led to Gunray's defeat in the ill-fated invasion of Naboo, as a prerequisite for the secession of the Trade Federation.[18] Dooku sent Jango Fett to kill the Senator, but Fett decided to subcontract the task to Zam Wesell. The Jedi thwarted Wesell's assassination attempt, and Fett was forced to kill Wesell and leave without killing Amidala. Obi-Wan Kenobi then traced the weapon Fett used back to the planet Kamino. He discovered Fett there, as well as the clone army that Sifo-Dyas had once ordered. The army was now fully grown and ready for delivery to the Republic.[21]

Fett escaped arrest on Kamino and fled to Geonosis, where a meeting between Dooku, the heads of many major business and economic interests, and selected senators was taking place. Many of these had long been allies of Dooku, such as Commerce Guild head Shu Mai and Archduke Poggle the Lesser. This meeting resulted in the formation of a new Confederacy of Independent Systems to oppose the Republic. Of the major factions present, the Corporate Alliance, Geonosian Industries, the Techno Union, the InterGalactic Banking Clan, and the Trade Federation became signatories to the treaty to form the Confederacy, while the Commerce Guild pledged unofficial support to the fledgling government. Kenobi, still pursuing Fett, discovered this meeting and attempted to inform the Jedi Council. However, Kenobi was captured by the Geonosians midway through his transmission. He was accused of espionage and thrown into a prison cell.[21]

Deciding to interrogate Kenobi personally, Dooku visited the cell where the Jedi was held. The Geonosians had placed Kenobi in a containment field to immobilize him and disrupt his access to the Force. The captive Kenobi immediately accused the Count of treason, but Dooku claimed the Jedi's capture had been a mistake. While questioning the prisoner, Dooku sifted through Kenobi's memories, looking for weak points in his defenses.[38] The Sith Lord then attempted to sway Kenobi to his side, claiming the Republic was incurably corrupt and that Qui-Gon Jinn himself would have joined Dooku if he knew the truth. When Kenobi refused to believe that his former Master would have ever abandoned the Jedi Order and the Republic, Dooku told him that Darth Sidious, a Sith Lord, had control over the Senate. He made one last appeal for Kenobi to defect, saying that together the two of them could destroy the Sith. Kenobi refused the offer. Disappointed, Dooku left the Jedi in his cell and mentioned that it would be difficult to secure his release.[21]

Battle of Geonosis
Main article: Battle of Geonosis
Arena bloodbath
"Master Windu. How pleasant of you to join us."
"This party's over."
"Brave, but foolish, my old Jedi friend. You're impossibly outnumbered."
―Dooku and Mace Windu[src]

Count Dooku enters the Petranaki arena.Obi-Wan Kenobi's transmission to Coruscant had reached Anakin Skywalker and Senator Padm Amidala on Tatooine, and the two of them attempted to rescue Kenobi despite orders from the Jedi Council to stay put. Both were captured trying to infiltrate the Geonosian stronghold where Kenobi was being held. Dooku offered clemency in return for Amidala supporting the Separatists, but she refused. The two would-be rescuers were both sentenced to death in the arena by the Geonosians following a quick trial.[21]

Kenobi had also been sentenced to death in the same manner, and the three of them met again in the Petranaki arena. They were chained to poles, and an acklay, a reek and a nexu were released to devour them. Dooku, Gunray, Fett, and others observed from a high balcony, while Geonosian spectators packed the stands. However, the execution did not go precisely as planned, and the three escaped their chains. Gunray was furious that the three prisoners weren't dying as planned and ordered Fett to shoot them, but Dooku advised patience and countermanded the order.[21]

The three prisoners were still dodging the arena monsters when the executions were interrupted by the sudden arrival of Jedi reinforcements. Anakin Skywalker had retransmitted Kenobi's message to the Jedi Council, and they had dispatched a strike team led by Mace Windu, who surprised Dooku on the balcony, but spoke with him briefly instead of ambushing him. Fett then drove the Jedi Master off the balcony and onto the arena floor.[21]

The clones attack

Count Dooku attempts to flee the Battle of Geonosis."?The Jedi must not find our designs for the Ultimate Weapon. If they find out what we are planning to build, we're doomed!?"
"I will take the designs with me to Coruscant. They will be much safer there…with my Master."
―Poggle the Lesser and Dooku[src]
Dooku had been anticipating the arrival of the Jedi reinforcements and revealed that the captured Jedi were simply bait for a trap. Ten thousand battle droids awaited Windu's task force, as well as numerous Geonosian warriors. The new Separatist Droid Army of the Confederacy overwhelmed the reinforcements, and many Jedi died while Dooku observed from the balcony.[21]

The Count did not join the battle personally, though Jedi Master Coleman Trebor reached the balcony and attempted to attack him. Fett killed Trebor, but was slain himself by Mace Windu when he descended to the arena floor. After the Jedi had taken significant losses and were trapped in the arena, Dooku ordered the droids to cease fire. He then called on Windu to surrender, but he refused.[21]

The remaining Jedi prepared to meet their fate, but their rescue was at hand. Dropships descended from the sky, carrying Yoda and many clone troopers. The Jedi Order had taken command of the clone army Dooku had helped create, just as the Sith had planned. The droids opened fire again, but the reinforcements provided enough cover for the arena survivors to escape onto the dropships.[21]

Similar landings took place outside the arena, where Trade Federation core ships had been parked. A clone invasion swept across Geonosis, and the Separatist forces were forced into full retreat. The leadership of the new Confederacy regrouped in the Geonosian command center, and agreed to abandon Geonosis. Dooku pretended not to know how the Republic had gathered such a powerful army in so short a time, while Poggle the Lesser commanded his warriors to hide in the catacombs under the Stalgasin hive. Poggle also entrusted the plans of the Geonosians' Ultimate Weapon to Dooku to keep the Jedi from discovering them.[21]

Jedi confrontation
"As you see, my Jedi powers are far beyond yours. Now, back down."
"I don't think so."
―Dooku and Obi-Wan Kenobi[src]
Dooku himself fled to his secret hangar on a speeder with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker in close pursuit. They arrived as Dooku was preparing his solar sailer for launch and confronted him. Kenobi instructed Skywalker to be cautious in his approach, but Skywalker charged at Dooku. The young Jedi Padawan was unprepared for Dooku's resulting blast of Force lightning that hit him and telekinetically threw him against the wall of the hangar. Skywalker collapsed to the floor, temporarily incapacitated, leaving Kenobi alone to face Dooku.[21]


Dooku battles Anakin Skywalker.Kenobi successfully deflected another blast of lightning from Dooku with his lightsaber, but as the duel went on, it became clear he was outmatched in blade-to-blade combat. Toying with his opponent, Dooku slashed Kenobi in the arm, and then the thigh. Incapacitated, Kenobi dropped his blade and fell to the floor. Dooku raised his lightsaber blade for the killing stroke, but before it fell, Skywalker, recovering from his previous injuries, hurtled across the room and parried the blow.[21]

Kenobi was too injured to rejoin the fight, but he Force-pulled his lightsaber into grasp and tossed it to Skywalker, who then attacked Dooku with both blades swinging. While Dooku was initially driven back, he adjusted his tactics, forcing Skywalker to retreat and destroying one of his two blades. The duel continued, intensifying, until Dooku found an opening in Skywalker's defense and sliced off his forearm. Victorious against both his opponents, Dooku prepared to flee, knowing other Republic forces would arrive.[21]

Before he could escape, however, one last Jedi confronted him: Yoda. Dooku attempted to defeat his old Master with a combination of Force lightning and hurling machinery and parts of the hangar roof at him. When that failed, Dooku insisted on settling their contest with a lightsaber duel. Leaping into action, the two engaged in a fierce duel. Yoda, using his mastery of the Force, showed great agility as he leaped about the room, but neither was able to gain the upper hand.[21]


Dooku meets with Darth Sidious on Coruscant.However, time was on Yoda's side. Forced to act due to incoming Republic and Jedi reinforcements, Dooku used the Force to topple a massive power column towards the wounded Kenobi and Skywalker in an effort to distract Yoda. As the Jedi Master broke off the duel to save the two Jedi, Dooku made his escape in his Geonosian solar sailer. Seconds later, clone troopers led by Padm Amidala arrived in the hangar.[21]

Having fled the battle, Dooku set his course for Coruscant, landing undetected on the Republic capital with his solar sailer. In The Works he met with his Master and informed him that events were moving forward and the long-planned war had begun. Darth Sidious was pleased with what his apprentice had accomplished.[21]

Clone Wars (22 BBY–19 BBY)
Early conflicts
Duel on Bakura

Dooku incapacitating Sora Bulq on Bakura."Anger is useful—unless it is used against you."
―Dooku, to Sora Bulq[src]
Immediately after reporting to Sidious in the wake of the Battle of Geonosis and the beginning of the Clone Wars, Dooku headed to his secret base on Bakura to regroup the scattered Separatist forces. However, Jedi Master Tholme anticipated Dooku's journey to Bakura, and lay in wait with Vaapad master Sora Bulq. The pair hoped to capture the Sith Lord, and confronted Dooku while he was still fatigued from the events on Geonosis.[39]

The three combatants engaged in a ferocious lightsaber duel, during which Dooku used Force lightning to take down Bulq. He then tried to bring Tholme over to the dark side, but Tholme refused. Dooku attacked Tholme, viciously stabbing through his shoulder and back before removing the Jedi's left eye. Finally, Dooku brought the roof down upon Tholme, leaving him under a vast pile of rubble. He then left with the unconscious body of Sora Bulq.[39]

Dooku tended to Bulq's wounds and converted him to the dark side of the Force through persuasion. Sora Bulq would become a loyal ally to Dooku and a valuable asset for the Confederacy during the war. The Count dispatched Bulq to rescue the injured Tholme from the rubble, so that Bulq would be able to work within the Jedi Temple on Dooku's behalf without suspicion.[39]

Artifacts and war machines
"Dooku! I'm going to make you pay for what you've done!"
"Ah, young Skywalker. I sensed your presence near. You will be the first to test my new gift for the Republic. I'm curious what effect it will have on a Jedi."
―Anakin Skywalker and Dooku[src]
As the Clone Wars continued, Dooku became more and more feared across the galaxy due to his role as the head of the Separatist forces. One of the first campaigns in the war involved the re-creation of the Dark Reaper, an ancient Sith weapon. The power source of the Dark Reaper, known as the Force Harvester, was buried on Raxus Prime. While Dooku was supervising this excavation, he placed a live bounty on Jango Fett's son Boba Fett, who had slipped away during the Battle of Geonosis. The bounty hunter and former Jedi Aurra Sing captured Fett and brought him to Dooku on Raxus Prime. Dooku housed the young Fett while he determined how much the boy knew about the Count's Sith identity, and initially indicated that he would take responsibility for his upbringing.[40]

Fett ignored the rules Dooku had set for his stay and investigated the excavation. Irritated at this and by Fett's clumsy threat to reveal his dual identities, Dooku ordered the young bounty hunter to be terminated. However, due to an imminent Jedi attack, he left the task to his new bodyguard, Cydon Prax. As a result, Fett escaped Dooku's enforcers and fled.[41]

Dooku and Cydon Prax found the ancient Force Harvester just as forces led by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived and attacked the Separatists with a clone army. Dooku and Prax boarded a cruiser loaded with the Force Harvester as the Republic forces overwhelmed the Separatists, but Skywalker spotted Dooku and charged after him. He confronted Dooku in the cargo bay of the cruiser. Unconcerned, Dooku mentioned he was curious what effect the Force Harvester would have on a Jedi. The two briefly dueled before Prax shot Skywalker with a tranquilizer dart.[5]

Dooku imprisoned Skywalker and took him to Alaris Prime, one of Kashyyyk's moons. He had decided to test the Force Harvester there, but his plan was foiled when Skywalker escaped and freed the Wookiees, rallying a resistance force. In the confusion, Dooku fled, taking the Force Harvester with him. He used the Harvester to drain the life-force from inhabitants of Aargonar, Bakura and Mon Calamari before retreating to Thule to prepare the rest of the Dark Reaper for use.[5]

His plan for the Dark Reaper was finally thwarted when the Jedi attacked Thule. Dooku unleashed the Dark Reaper on the Republic's forces, but Skywalker broke through the Separatist lines to reach it, killing Cydon Prax. Having learned from a hologram of the ancient Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma how to resist the effects of the Sith weapon, Skywalker destroyed the Dark Reaper and the Force Harvester that fueled it. With the Dark Reaper gone, Dooku fled the field.[5] This series of victories was a coup for Republic propagandists, who claimed the Confederacy was on the run. Dooku attempted to refute this assertion in a public statement, claiming Raxus Prime and other worlds were only temporary bases and the most important Separatist planets remained secure and well-guarded.[42]

Another weapon the Confederacy acquired was a new type of war machine, the Decimator. These Decimators were stolen from the Republic due to their potential to swing the war against the Separatists. The machines were captured by Dooku's most trusted general, Sev'rance Tann, on the planet Eredenn Prime. Tann was a Chiss Force-user and a skilled tactician who had served Dooku since before the Battle of Geonosis.[43]

Before Dooku acquired the Dark Reaper, Tann assaulted the Wookiee-inhabited moon of Alaris Prime to capture the activation codes for the Decimators. After that success, Dooku ordered her to invade and capture the Republic energy world of Sarapin with her army. While Tann succeeded in capturing the world, she did not hold it for long. The Republic struck back, retaking Sarapin and later defeating and killing Tann at the Battle of Krant.[43] The Decimators were destroyed in the process, removing the advantage the Separatists had gained from their possession.[44]

A new ally
"The dark side is strong in me, for I am Sith."
"A bold claim, but you are not Sith. You wear the trappings of the Sith, you fight like the Sith, but this can be imitated, however. You lack a vital quality found in all Sith. Sith have no fear, and I sense much fear in you."
―Asajj Ventress and Dooku[src]

Dooku duels Asajj Ventress, who would soon become his Dark Acolyte.Two months after the Battle of Geonosis, Dooku traveled to The Cauldron, a gladiatorial arena on Rattatak. He was hoping to find a new servant to carry out his wishes. Upon his arrival, he was greeted by his host and taken to watch the contest. He soon sensed a disturbance in the Force as Asajj Ventress, a Rattataki warlord, silently assassinated his guide, seeking to impress him. Dooku praised her skills, but told her he wasn't looking for a spy.[45]

Ventress then jumped down into the arena, slaughtering the other gladiators under Dooku's watchful gaze. When she had finished, Dooku applauded her, telling her she was more powerful than he had sensed. Ventress claimed in turn to be a Sith,[45] but Dooku laughed at her before leaping into the arena and denying her claim. Ventress angrily attacked Dooku, but before she could reach him he incapacitated her with Force lightning.[8]

Dooku brought the unconscious Ventress to a room on Rattatak and waited for her to wake up. When she did, he attacked her as she was exploring her surroundings and they engaged in a vicious lightsaber duel across the room, taunting her as they fought. Ventress was skilled, and proved to be a challenge, even for a Sith Lord. However, Dooku brought her down, disarming her of her two lightsabers and then sundering the weapons.[8] Ventress admitted defeat, but instead of killing his opponent, Dooku introduced her to his Master, Darth Sidious, who was impressed by her skill with a lightsaber. Sidious then set Dooku's new servant on a mission to find and kill Anakin Skywalker.[8] Ventress was eager to kill a Jedi, and Dooku gave her a pair of lightsabers that had once belonged to his fallen apprentice, Komari Vosa.[1]

Dooku was confident that she would quickly dispatch Skywalker; Sidious said that it did not matter either way, as she was only an instrument of their plans.[8] Asajj Ventress would encounter Skywalker many times throughout the Clone Wars, though she never did succeed in killing him. She also served Dooku as a commander and acolyte.[46]

Rallying the Confederacy
"Dooku is not the only threat you will face. He has many dangerous servants, as well!"
―Tholme, to Quinlan Vos[src]
During the first few months of the Clone Wars, Dooku spent much of his time inciting systems to rebel and preparing strategies against the Republic. However, mindful of the ultimate goals of the Sith, he also sabotaged some of their potential victories. The Battle of Kamino was designed by Dooku and Sidious to prolong the Clone Wars and scupper any advantage that the Separatists initially had. Commander Merai, a Mon Calamari idealist and one of the Confederacy's best tacticians, planned an assault on the planet Kamino to wipe out the cloning facilities. Jedi Knight Aayla Secura discovered this planned attack, and relayed the information to the Republic. Dooku's agent Tookarti informed the count of these events, but Dooku told him that they did not matter.[47]

The battle went just as the Sith Lords had planned. The Republic fleet ambushed the Confederacy's ships and destroyed many of them. Furthermore, Merai was killed and his fleet routed. Despite the losses the CIS sustained, this was a victory for the plans of the Sith. While Dooku regretted the loss of Merai, Sidious was pleased with how their strategy had effectively ruined all hopes of an early end to the conflict. The critical Kamino cloning facilities had been saved, maintaining the balance of power between Confederacy and Republic forces.[48]

Prevented by Darth Bane's Rule of Two from taking his own Sith apprentice,[1] Dooku instead built a cadre of Dark Acolytes. Along with Asajj Ventress, Sev'rance Tann and Sora Bulq, Dooku enlisted former Jedi Tol Skorr and Kadrian Sey,[49] as well as other Force-users such as Trenox and Saato.[50] He honed their skills but taught them few, if any, of the Sith secrets.[10]

On the galactic scale of the war, Dooku's charisma swayed many to the Confederate cause—whole star systems pledged themselves to the Separatist cause on the former Jedi's words alone. In addition to his Force adepts, Dooku recruited warriors like the Gen'Dai mercenary Durge to augment the Confederacy's already potent arsenal.[51] Even the Jedi Order was not initially united against the Separatists, as a few Jedi even joined Dooku's forces, while others had refused to join their comrades in the war. One Jedi allied with Dooku, Sora Bulq, exploited the Republic's ignorance over his true allegiance and attempted to convince more Jedi to ally with the Separatists at a meeting at his family estate on the moon of Ruul.[52]

This plot to divide the Jedi failed due to the intervention of Mace Windu, who unmasked Bulq as a traitor. Sian Jeisel, one of the wavering Jedi Bulq had invited to Ruul,[52] even agreed to lead clones in the war. She and two other Jedi, Masters Kai Justiss and Tsui Choi, were on a Republic troopship that was captured by Dooku's forces. The Jedi expected to be killed, but Dooku unexpectedly ordered their release, claiming that all Jedi were his brothers and sisters. Bulq questioned him about this approach in private, and Dooku said that the purpose was to sow dissension among the Jedi, and that even mercy had its uses.[49]

Three months after the death of Sev'rance Tann, his favored general, Dooku had yet to replace her as the leader of his armies. To choose a successor, he pitted Commanders Ventress, Durge, and General Grievous against each other on the Trenchant Space Station. Grievous was more than a match for his two opponents, even though they worked together against him. Dooku rewarded the cyborg with command of the Confederacy's armies, while Ventress and Durge were left to recuperate in a bacta tank.[53]

Grievous proved a worthy choice as Supreme Commander. He was revealed to the Jedi on Hypori to devastating effect, outmaneuvering five Jedi at once. His emergence as the commander of the Confederacy's droid armies changed the course of the war from then on, and he slew many Jedi personally.[54]

The conflict spreads
"In league with the wicked Count Dooku, more and more planets slip…"
―Yoda[src]

Count Dooku allying with the Quarren Isolation League.As the war progressed, Dooku sent Durge to Muunilinst to aid San Hill in repelling an imminent Republic assault[55] and pushed the Quarren Isolation League to war on Mon Calamari.[56] He also dispatched droids to Ilum in order to strike a devastating blow at the heart of the Jedi Order[57] and advised Shogar Tok, who was fighting Republic forces on Brentaal IV.[58]

Five months after the Battle of Geonosis, Dooku watched the testing of a new superweapon, the Planet Killer, a device capable of destroying a planet, to see whether it would prove more useful to the Sith than the planned Ultimate Weapon. Due to the intervention of Mace Windu, the weapon was disabled before it went off, and Dooku had its creator removed.[59]

Dooku also took part in missions to recruit more planets to the side of the Separatists. At a meeting on Null he tried to recruit the leaders of several strategic worlds, including Junction V, into the Confederacy's fold. His old enemy Lorian Nod, somewhat reformed, was now running Junction 5 and pretended to be his ally. Nod had once again betrayed Dooku, though, and was working with Yoda and the Jedi to thwart the Count's plan.[6]

Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrived on Null to investigate and found that Dooku had hired an assassin to kill Samish Kash, another of the leaders there. At the meeting itself, the leaders collectively decided to stay with the Republic. Displeased, Dooku unleashed battle droids on the dignitaries, but they were all saved by Skywalker and Kenobi, who collapsed part of the room the meeting was taking place in with the Force, crushing the droids. Thwarted, Dooku left the scene, but Nod pursued him and attempted to sabotage his speeder. Nod was unsuccessful, and Dooku slew him personally before departing Null.[6]

Corruption and chaos
Jedi treason
"I've known the truth about you from the start, Quinlan Vos."
―Dooku[src]
Another Jedi, Quinlan Vos, had originally been dispatched by the Jedi Council to infiltrate Dooku's inner circle. This was a risky gamble by the Jedi, as Vos was dangerously close to the dark side, and Dooku knew this, hoping to use it to his advantage.[49] Vos, on his mission to get closer to the Count, dealt with Dooku's agent Tookarti, offering Republic holocomm codes. Tookarti then framed Vos as the one who had betrayed the Republic at the Battle of Brentaal IV. Only a few of the Jedi knew of Vos's undercover mission, so Agen Kolar was sent to hunt the supposed renegade Jedi down. Vos escaped Kolar and continued on his mission.[60]


Dooku with Quinlan Vos.After gaining admittance to the Count's headquarters by fighting his personal guard of Tol Skorr and Kadrian Sey, Vos was accepted as an acolyte. His skills were tested by Dooku and Sora Bulq and found satisfactory, so Dooku asked Vos to accompany him on a mission to Tibrin, the planet of the Ishi Tibs. There, Dooku and his minions met with the leader of Tibrin, Suribran Tu, a notorious dictator hated by the populace. Suribran Tu offered to defect to Dooku and rule Tibrin for the Confederacy.[49]

Dooku asked Vos and Sey what he should do with the Ishi Tib ruler. Sey argued that they should accept Suribran's offer, while Vos said that since he was willing to betray the Republic he could not be trusted and allowing his oppressive government to remain would only prove that the Confederacy was no better than the Republic. Dooku accepted Vos's argument and beheaded the Ishi Tib ruler. The population of Tibrin then hailed Dooku as a liberator.[49]

Vos soon had another mission: to kill Senator Zurros, a Falleen who had earned Dooku's disfavor. Instead of killing the senator, Vos intimidated him into submission. Zurros promised not to betray Dooku again, and Vos took his topknot and a recording of him begging for forgiveness back to the Separatist headquarters.[49]

The Count and his minions were otherwise occupied when Vos arrived. Jedi Master Shylar had been captured trying to infiltrate Dooku's headquarters, and he was interrogating her with the assistance of Sey and Skorr. Shylar was a childhood friend of Vos's who had once held romantic feelings for him, and she condemned him as a traitor, but Vos did nothing to save her, mindful of his cover. Dooku accepted Vos's creative interpretation of the orders he had been given about Zurros. He then returned to the torture of Shylar, who died believing Vos had betrayed the Jedi.[49]

The next mission Dooku invited Vos on was to Vos's own homeworld of Kiffu. The Count had been negotiating with Sheyf Tint Vos, Quinlan's great-aunt, in order to establish a Separatist base on Kiffu's twin planet of Kiffex. Tint refused to accept Dooku's monetary offer for basing rights, and Dooku ordered her killed. While the Sheyf's guards were slaughtered, Vos rescued his great-aunt and led her to safety, killing Kadrian Sey in the process.[49]

Dooku pursued Vos and caught up with him and Tint Vos. His cover blown, Vos attempted to defend his great-aunt, but was quickly defeated by the Sith Lord. Dooku urged him to read the woman with his Kiffar psychometry. Vos did so and learned that his great-aunt had sacrificed his parents to the Anzati to seize power. Overcome by rage, Vos cut down his great-aunt and became submerged in the dark side of the Force.[49]

From then on, Vos became Dooku's assassin, murdering enemies like Senator Viento and his former Twi'lek ally Kh'aris Fenn. As a reward Dooku gave Vos the power crystal of Darth Andeddu's lightsaber.[61]

Sith knowledge

Dooku with Darth Andeddu's holocron."A dark Jedi is nothing compared to the power of the Sith."
―Dooku[src]
As the years passed, Dooku immersed himself fully within the persona of Darth Tyranus, Dark Lord of the Sith. He sought out and collected ancient Sith artifacts, particularly holocrons. In a daring raid on Coruscant, he even breached the Jedi Temple itself. While cortosis battle droids distracted the Jedi Council in the depths of Coruscant,[50] Dooku stole the Sith holocron he had studied as a young man from the Jedi Archives.[44] In addition, he sent his minions Quinlan Vos and Tol Skorr to retrieve the long-lost holocron of Darth Andeddu from the Sith graveyard world of Korriban.[61] Dooku also gave a Sith holocron to fallen Anzat Jedi Nikkos Tyris, one of the founders of the Jensaarai sect.[44]

The Jedi suspected their former comrade was indeed a true Sith, but could not discern the identity of the elusive second Dark Lord. Vos thought Sora Bulq was the one they sought, but this was due to a deliberate deception on Dooku's part. While some of Dooku's acolytes, like Asajj Ventress, were aware of the existence of Darth Sidious, many were not.[62]

Other schemes
"The war progresses well. I have dealt out your deaths, your schemes, your betrayals. I have paid for your war with my riches, my time, my friends, and my honor."
―Dooku, to Darth Sidious[src]
Warning: The following paragraph(s) contain(s) information which ONLY appears in a Star Wars Tales #1–#20 story that has not been referenced elsewhere; therefore, its level of canonicity is ambiguous.
During the Clone Wars, Dooku posted a bounty on Jedi that members of a mining colony attempted to collect. They killed a Jedi named Lunis, but his Padawan Obs Kaj escaped. Dooku shot down the fleeing Padawan and only paid the miners the bounty for the one Jedi they had killed.[63]

Tales #1–#20 information ends here.
While Dooku spent much of his time shepherding the Separatist Council and running the war, he occasionally completed missions for Sidious personally. On one such mission he slipped under the eye of Jedi Ki-Adi-Mundi and Aayla Secura to complete a vital task on the planet Hitaka. The two Jedi had been diverted on a supposedly important mission by Palpatine. The mission they were given was meaningless, however, and served only to distract them from his apprentice's work.[64]

Dooku continued to assist local Separatist leaders, sending droids to aid Alto Stratus in his struggle on Jabiim.[65] Dooku also found it sometimes necessary to take action to protect Sidious's identity, such as when he arranged the death of Jedi General Ronhar Kim at the Battle of Merson.[66]

Balance of power
The war continues
"Though we have had setbacks on vital worlds, we shall avenge the defeats on Muunilinst and Metalorn, and strike back with renewed spirit. Our droid armies, under unfaltering command by the most proven of Generals, are indefatigable. Our flesh-and blood soldiers have iron wills bolstered by the knowledge that they fight for the truth."
―Dooku[src]

Count Dooku and aide in a Separatist propaganda broadcast.As the war continued, Dooku and Grievous planned to destroy an invading Republic army on Viidaav as well as the Separatist-allied inhabitants of the planet by rendering the surface uninhabitable. Droids planted charges on the planet and prepared them for detonation. However, the Republic forces and the Viidaav colonists discovered the plot and fought through the droids to stop the detonation sequence. The detonation charges did not go off, and the planet was saved.[67] In general, Dooku kept a careful watch on Grievous, sending his servant Vulpus to observe the general when he decided to do cyborg experiments on Jedi Padawans.[68]

Despite taking no direct action in the Separatist invasion of the critical communications hub of Praesitlyn, Dooku and Ventress advised Admiral Pors Tonith. Tonith was tasked with capturing the planet and denying its use to the Republic. Opposing him were Jedi Generals Anakin Skywalker and Nejaa Halcyon. Skywalker in particular was being watched closely by Dooku and Sidious, who wished to test his power and bring him closer to the dark side. Once again manipulating the battles of the Clone Wars to suit the Sith schemes, Dooku delayed reinforcements to the Separatists until the last moment, resulting in a defeat for Pors Tonith's forces and a victory for the Republic.[69]

Meeting on Vjun
"I have gone too far down the dark path ever to return."
―Dooku[src]
There were those who thought Dooku might possibly be saved, among them Grand Master Yoda. However, Yoda did not act until Dooku sent a peculiar message to the Jedi Temple. He had spared the life of captured Jedi Jai Maruk and sent him to Yoda with a gift. This gift, a small shell, was significant to both of them, as it recalled a conversation they had had when Dooku was a Padawan. After meditating and receiving insight from the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn, Yoda decided to meet with Dooku on the planet Vjun.[10]

Dooku had stressed the need for secrecy to Yoda, but Yoda informed the Jedi Council and Chancellor Palpatine of the vague outline of his plans. Sidious then confronted Dooku over the meeting, but Dooku maintained he meant only to kill Yoda. To meet with Dooku, Yoda slipped out of the Temple in secret and was replaced by a double. This double's ship was ambushed and destroyed by Ventress. As the galaxy reeled at the apparent death of Yoda, the real Yoda's location was betrayed by the droid Solis, who was traveling with him.[10]

Ventress then tracked Yoda down and attacked the escorts he was traveling with. While she slew two Jedi Masters, she was outsmarted and humiliated by Yoda and her ship was destroyed. Dooku was extremely displeased at the turn of events and was about to order her death. However, Ventress shocked him with a proposal that they both turn on Dooku's Master, Sidious. While Dooku did not accept this proposal, he spared her life and ordered her to his headquarters on Vjun.[10]

Ventress's attack had allowed Sidious to pin down the time that Yoda would arrive on Vjun to meet with his apprentice. As Palpatine, Sidious spoke with Mace Windu and arranged for Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi to be sent to Vjun to assist Yoda if necessary. As they traveled to Vjun, Yoda arrived there and infiltrated Chateau Malreaux, Dooku's temporary headquarters.

Jedi Padawans Whie Malreaux and Scout and the droids Fidelis and Solis had accompanied Yoda to Vjun. They were left behind in the caverns below the chateau while Yoda sought out Dooku alone. Ventress trapped and briefly captured the two Padawans, and both droids were destroyed defending them. Whie and Scout escaped Ventress briefly, but they only escaped death by the arrival of Kenobi and Skywalker. Ventress had been wounded fighting the Padawans and their droids and fled from Kenobi and Skywalker without a fight. Instead, she then stole their ship and escaped off-world.[10]

Meanwhile, Yoda had gained entrance to Dooku's office through the window. Dooku invited him in, and the pair spoke at some length. After an initial conversation about the Count's childhood and family, the Jedi Master confronted Dooku over his choice to join the dark side, and asked him to explain why the dark side of the Force was superior. After listening, Yoda admitted to having some of the dark side in him, but also claimed there was still some light in Dooku. He challenged Dooku to return to the Order, claiming that he would find more forgiveness from his old Master than his new one.[10]

Dooku seemed to consider this, but the two were interrupted by the chaos of Kenobi and Skywalker ripping through the chateau's defenses and defenders. Realizing Skywalker was on Vjun and interpreting this as a betrayal, Dooku lashed out in a cold fury at Yoda. In a brief lightsaber battle he slightly wounded the Jedi Master, but found himself unable to defeat him. Instead, he elected to escape before Kenobi and Skywalker joined the fight.[10]

Battle of Boz Pity
"Even if you kill me, the fighting and death will continue. Of course, you won't kill me. Not today."
―Dooku, to Mace Windu[src]
Asajj Ventress continued her hunt for Anakin Skywalker, and confronted him once more on the rooftops of Coruscant. While she wounded Skywalker in the ensuing duel, Ventress was defeated and thrown off a building.[70] She was seriously injured in the fall, but Dooku arranged for her rescue and brought her to the world of Boz Pity for medical treatment and cybernetic enhancement. While she recovered, Dooku and Grievous adopted the medical facility as a temporary headquarters.[71]


Count Dooku at the Battle of Boz Pity, flanked by MagnaGuards.The Republic believed Ventress had died on Coruscant, but Kenobi was not so sure. He successfully tracked her to Boz Pity, and brought Skywalker, numerous clones and most of the Jedi Council with him. His ship, the Intervention, landed near the Separatist facility, and disgorged an army. While the other Jedi fought the CIS droids defending the base, Kenobi infiltrated the med center where Ventress was being treated in a bacta tank. He found Dooku there, and accused him of corrupting her. Dooku denied this, claiming that Ventress had been consumed by anger when he discovered her. Furious at the implication she was weak, Ventress smashed the bacta tank with the Force and broke free.[71]

Tossing Ventress her lightsabers, Dooku ordered her to kill Kenobi and withdrew. Heading across the battlefield, the Sith Lord was confronted by Mace Windu, who had just taken out Grievous. Windu attempted to kill Dooku, but Dooku outmaneuvered his old friend with the aid of two IG-100 MagnaGuard droids and rescued the damaged general. Entering his shuttle with Grievous, Dooku spotted Ventress running towards them, pursued by Skywalker and Kenobi.[71]

Perceiving she would not make it to the shuttle in time, Dooku ordered Ventress shot and his shuttle left without her. Seriously wounded, Ventress then turned on Kenobi, attempting to kill him for driving Dooku away. Skywalker stabbed her with his lightsaber to save Kenobi. Although all present thought her dead, she survived through a Sith meditation technique.[71]

The final moves
Defeat at Saleucami
"Your little victory means nothing!"
"It means you have lost, Dooku. You will always lose."
―Dooku and Tholme[src]
Quinlan Vos had betrayed Dooku and rejoined the Republic during the war, but pretended to remain a double agent for him. Dooku knew of Vos's continued internal conflict with the dark side, and meant to exploit it. While Vos's heart was with the Republic, the dark side still had a great hold on him. Vos accompanied an army led by Jedi Council member Oppo Rancisis to Saleucami towards the end of the war, and settled in for a siege that lasted five months. The Confederacy was cloning and training Morgukai assassins at Saleucami, creating their own clone army. Jedi Master Tholme had previously infiltrated the Separatist volcano base, and was trapped inside for the entire siege.[62]

Tholme's ongoing sabotage of the base finally became too much of an irritant for former Jedi Sora Bulq, who was leading the CIS forces. He contacted Dooku, who was disappointed in his failure to catch and kill Tholme. After a discussion with Bulq, Dooku ordered that Vos eliminate the Jedi Master for them. Those orders were relayed to Vos in the enemy camp, and Vos confronted Tholme in the lava-filled caverns below the Separatist base. While Vos did not initially intend to kill his former Master, the pair had an argument that escalated to the point of combat. A boulder fell and split the pair, spilling Tholme into a deep lava pit. Assuming that Tholme was dead, Vos returned to the Republic lines.[62]

Later, Vos was again brought into the Separatist base in secret. He appeared before Bulq and a hologram of Dooku, who had one final test for him. Dooku told him that his lover, Khaleen Hentz, had been a Separatist agent all along, and had seduced Vos on Dooku's orders. He ordered Vos to kill her, but Vos refused, as she was pregnant with his child. Instead, he turned on Dooku's minions.[62]

Tholme had survived his fall into the lava. With Aayla Secura, who had infiltrated the Separatist base, he assisted Vos in his fight against Dooku's Dark Acolytes. Bulq and Skorr were both killed by Vos, while Secura slew the Morgukai warrior Bok. Meanwhile, Republic forces destroyed the defenses of the Separatist base and began bombarding it. Vos, Secura, and Tholme escaped the disintegrating base, and the bombardment destroyed the Morgukai cloning facilities. Dooku had lost three powerful allies and an entire army in one battle, but the war waged on.[62]

The brink of disaster
"I am displeased by this turn of events, Lord Tyranus. Greatly displeased."
―Darth Sidious[src]
Dooku had spent much of the war supervising the Separatist Council, allowing Grievous to command the droid armies. After Boz Pity, he made a temporary home on Kaon. A Confederacy defeat at Cato Neimoidia forced Nute Gunray to flee the world, leaving a critical communications device behind. This mechno-chair was Gunray's secret line of communication to Separatist figures like Grievous, Sidious, and Dooku himself. Its capture prompted a crisis for Sidious and Dooku, as Sidious was now in serious danger of being unmasked by the Republic and the Jedi.[18]

Concerned, Dooku traveled to The Works to consult with Sidious in person. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were tracking down the builders of Gunray's mechno-chair to try and find clues to Sidious's identity. Dooku and Sidious agreed to lure Kenobi and Skywalker to Naos III, where they would be attacked by bounty hunters hired by Dooku. Sidious also tasked Dooku with Kenobi's death.[18]


Dooku spars with General Grievous.Dooku's bounty hunters failed in their task, and Kenobi and Skywalker learned about the Sith lair in The Works from the pilot Fa'ale Leh, who had worked for the Sith. This was not in the Sith plan. Shortly after Dooku engaged in a practice sparring session with Grievous,[9] he was urgently contacted by Sidious. The Jedi were investigating The Works, and threatened to discover Sidious's secret headquarters on Coruscant under 500 Republica.[18]

To evade Jedi pursuit, Dooku suggested that Sidious leave Coruscant, but he had other plans. To draw his Jedi pursuers off his scent, Sidious arranged to send Kenobi and Skywalker to Tythe, using Dooku and a Separatist assault as bait. Dooku would then kill Kenobi and lure Skywalker to the dark side. Sidious also ordered Grievous to attack Coruscant with the rest of his forces while the Republic was engaged on Tythe.[18]

On Tythe, Dooku waited in a LiMerge Power plasma facility for Kenobi and Skywalker, who landed and began searching for him. They discovered a hologram of him, but were delayed by swarms of battle droids. Furious, Skywalker gave into his anger and unleashed a Force Scream. This massive release of power caused the roof of the building to collapse on the three of them. The first to extract himself the rubble, Dooku was shocked by Skywalker's power and had a brief moment of doubt relating to Sidious's plans. He quickly overcame it, escaped the planet and jumped for Nelvaan to throw the Jedi off his trail. From there, he jumped almost immediately to Coruscant, where a great battle was already in progress. Grievous had captured Palpatine, and was holding him prisoner aboard the Invisible Hand, his flagship.[18]

Awaiting the Jedi
"Just as Count Dooku predicted!"
―Grievous[src]
The news of Palpatine's capture shocked the galaxy, and many believed that the Republic was on the verge of collapse. Palpatine had carefully plotted his own kidnapping, however, and even Grievous was unaware that his hapless captive was also the feared mastermind behind the Confederation. Arriving on the Invisible Hand, Dooku took charge of the prisoner, leaving Grievous to command the space battle outside.[72]

Late arrivals to the fight, Kenobi and Skywalker mounted a rescue mission to save the Chancellor. They boarded the Separatist warship and began to fight their way through its defenses. Dooku observed the pair and ordered Grievous to herd the Jedi toward him and the Chancellor. Speaking to Sidious, Dooku requested that Kenobi be given one more chance to turn to the dark side, citing that a Jedi of Kenobi's integrity would lend support to the planned New Order. Sidious disagreed. claiming that Kenobi was too indoctrinated by the Jedi to turn, and he insisted Dooku kill the Jedi Master.[72]

Sidious's plan as Dooku understood it was that Dooku would kill Kenobi and provoke Skywalker into enough of a rage that the Jedi would tap into the dark side. At that point, Sidious would reveal himself to Skywalker and convert him to the Sith cause. Dooku would then be "arrested," and defect to the Republic in captivity, re-emerging to aid Sidious in establishing a Sith Empire.[72]

Duel above Coruscant
"I sense great fear in you, Skywalker. You have hate. You have anger. But you don't use them."
―Dooku, to Anakin Skywalker[src]

Dooku incapacitating Kenobi with telekinesis.The day would not turn out that way, however. Both Kenobi and Skywalker's lightsaber skills had improved dramatically since their last duel, although they initially did not reveal this, allowing Dooku to underestimate them. As the duel wore on, however, Dooku realized there had been a miscalculation. Both Jedi suddenly changed their saber styles mid-battle and began to wear down the Sith Lord's defenses, although he swiftly re-adjusted. Dooku had initially been toying with them, but he soon knew he was in for the fight of his life.[72]

Eventually, Dooku was able to regain the upper hand when he used the Force to levitate Kenobi and hurl Skywalker into a wall at the same time. The Count then Force-choked Kenobi and telekinetically hurled him across the room. Kenobi was knocked unconscious, but Dooku collapsed a balcony on the Jedi with the Force for good measure. Getting to his feet, Skywalker carried on the fight alone.[2]


Dooku on his knees before Anakin Skywalker, betrayed by his Master.During their one-on-one duel, Dooku taunted Skywalker, calling on him to use his fear, hate and anger. With Palpatine's encouragement, Skywalker channeled his hatred of Dooku and tapped into the dark side of the Force. Refusing to be intimidated by the Sith Lord's casual victory over Kenobi, Skywalker drove Dooku back and overpowered him. With an elegant maneuver, he proceeded to slice off both of the Count's hands, bringing him to his knees. Unarmed, Dooku was at the Jedi Knight's mercy.[2]

Expecting his Master to intervene and save his life as Sidious had promised to do in the case of defeat, Dooku instead was shocked to see the Dark Lord goad Skywalker to deliver the deathblow. It was then that Dooku came to realize the second deception: Sidious never intended for the Count to survive; he was simply the tool used to create the Confederacy and make Sidious's plan truly possible. Skywalker, holding both his and Dooku's lightsabers crossed before Dooku's throat, beheaded the Count and took one step closer to the dark side.[2]

Legacy
"His death was a necessary loss."
―Darth Sidious, on Dooku[src]
Dooku's replacement as Darth Sidious's apprentice was Anakin Skywalker, whose Sith name was Darth Vader, while Grievous was his successor as the leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[72] Dooku's identity as a Sith Lord and the truth behind the Clone Wars both remained obscure to the public for a long time. The official Imperial propaganda line was that Dooku had never truly left the Jedi Order, and the entire Clone Wars had been a Jedi plot to seize control of the Republic.[15]

Long after the Galactic Empire had fallen, after the destruction of the Tedryn Holocron, two Jedi holocrons and one Sith were discovered by the New Jedi Order. Recordings of Dooku were preserved on all three devices. While the Great Holocron and Asli Krimsan's holocron both showed Dooku as a teacher in the Jedi Temple, the mysterious Telos Holocron contained a narrative by Darth Tyranus of his reasons for leaving the Jedi Order, and shed some light on his true role in the Clone Wars to researchers such as Jedi Master Tionne.[1]

Personality and traits
"He was one of the most brilliant Jedi I've ever had the privilege of knowing."
―Jocasta Nu[src]

Dooku in a calm, calculating mood.Master Dooku was an accomplished philosopher, orator, politician, and warrior, regarded as one of the greatest Jedi ever for his strength of character and his strength in the Force. Yoda considered him both the Temple's greatest student and one of his greatest failures. By the time of the Clone Wars, Dooku had been a practitioner of the Force for nearly eight decades.[10]

Dooku was driven to succeed even as a youngling, and was fully devoted to the ideals of the Jedi Order and of service to the galaxy. He sought to become a great Jedi Master, and did not even consider the possibility of a life outside the Order, though he knew of his heritage as a nobleman and at times felt self-conscious about it.[1] Dooku chose Padawans he thought had the potential to become great Jedi themselves, and endeavored to teach them all he knew.[6] However, his Padawan Komari Vosa was infatuated with him, which was one of the factors that led to her dismissal as his apprentice.[17]

Dooku did not ever forgive betrayal easily. An encounter as a Jedi Knight with Lorian Nod, his former friend who had once tried to frame him, nearly led to Nod's death. However, his Padawan Qui-Gon Jinn successfully appealed to Dooku's honor as a Jedi, and Dooku relented.[6] Dooku perceived the Battle of Galidraan as a betrayal by the Jedi Council of the ideals it was supposed to follow, something that greatly influenced his fall to the dark side.[1] As a Sith, his discussion about returning to the light side with Yoda on Vjun immediately broke down when Dooku discovered that Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were present and interpreted that as a personal betrayal.[10]

As a Sith Lord, Dooku became a Humanocentrist.[72] While he remained a connoisseur of alien art and antiquities,[73] he secretly despised most if not all of the corrupt aliens on the Separatist Council. He divided the entire galaxy into two categories: threats and assets. The threat category was for beings or institutions that interfered with his personal advancement and would have to be eliminated, the asset category being for those who could aid, or at least not hinder his advancement.[72]

By the time of the Clone Wars, Dooku believed that the sorrow and injustice of the galaxy could only be responded to with anger and hate.[10] He came to believe that the Jedi Order should embrace the dark side and rule the galaxy alone without the interference of the Senate. As a Sith, he planned to transform the Jedi into a Sith Army, and intended to forcibly recruit Force-users into such an army.[72] While often assuming a genteel and civilized manner, Dooku had no qualms about torturing[49] or ordering the deaths of hundreds of his former comrades,[4] nor about committing any number of atrocities as leader of the Confederacy.[34]

Powers and abilities
Lightsaber training
"He is a fencer. Leverage, position, advantage—they are as natural to him as breathing."
―Qui-Gon Jinn's spirit, to Yoda, on Dooku[src]

Dooku in the Form II opening stance.Before his resignation, Dooku was known as one of the most skilled duelists and lightsaber instructors in the Jedi Order.[1] Along with Yoda, Dooku was one of only two Jedi who were known to have bested Mace Windu at sparring,[3] and during the time of the Confederacy Crisis, it was said that aside from Yoda, only Windu would have been his equal on neutral ground.[10] Though styles like Form III, IV, and V were more practical in the age of blasters, Dooku's competitive spirit drove him toward the second form of lightsaber combat, Makashi, though he maintained a working knowledge of other forms as well.[18] He was one of a very few practitioners of this dueling-centric lightsaber form in the Order at the time,[1] and unmatched in his mastery of it.[21]

When he became a Sith Lord, Dooku had little left to learn about dueling, though he ended up learning the Sith art of Dun M?ch, or disrupting an opponent's concentration by the use of taunts.[74] He was nearly successful in using Dun M?ch to disrupt Anakin Skywalker's concentration in his final duel on the Invisible Hand. However, his attempt backfired on him fatally, as his taunts only encouraged Skywalker to draw on his anger to break through Dooku's defenses.[72]

Force abilities
"His knowledge of the Force was…unique."
―Jocasta Nu, on Dooku[src]
As a Jedi, Dooku was a renowned student of the Force and learned many of the Jedi arts. He was recognized as a skilled master of telekinesis, and lectured on the subject as a Jedi Master.[1] His skill in telekinesis was usually used to augment his dueling prowess, although he was also capable of a limited form of flight.[8] As a Sith Lord, he sometimes combined telekinesis with the use of Force lightning[4] or Force choke.[2] Dooku had a notable ability to multitask, and used the Force frequently even in the midst of lightsaber combat.[2]

Dooku also had knowledge of the Living Force, and used it once to heal himself of a deadly plague.[16] In addition, he was able to tame animals and bend them to his will, most notably a krayt dragon.[75] As Darth Tyranus, he learned how to forcibly rip information out of the minds of his enemies with the Force.[38] Dooku also mastered the Qey'tek meditation, which allowed him to hide his presence in the Force. Opposing Jedi were usually unable to pierce this concealment, although Kenobi succeeded on Tythe when he was previously aware Dooku was present.[18]

Equipment
Apparel
When he assumed his title of Count, Dooku abandoned his Jedi robes and adopted the style of dress worn by Serenno royalty for at least a thousand years.[76]. He was usually seen wearing a silver-clasped cape over a belted tunic and trousers in varying shades of black or brown. His clothes were made of the finest materials.[77] In particular, his dress boots were made out of rare rancor leather, while all his cloaks were lined with armorweave as a protective measure.[20]

Lightsabers
"Finesse. Artfulness. Economy."
―Dooku, to Grievous on the Invisible Hand[src]

Dooku's standard lightsaber.As a Jedi youngling, Dooku wielded common training lightsabers under the tutelage of Yoda,[6] but after Thame Cerulian took him as his Padawan, Dooku constructed his own lightsaber. It had a cylindrical hilt of fairly standard design.[29]

When Dooku became a Jedi Master, he constructed a more personalized lightsaber, which had a curved hilt that allowed for precise movements and was designed for a Makashi duelist. It could be shortened with the press of a button, allowing for more flexibility in lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat.[20] This lightsaber had a blue blade,[16] and Dooku wielded it during the Battle of Galidraan.[1] Dooku also occasionally carried a more conventional lightsaber as a Jedi Master.[78][1]


Dooku's curved-hilt lightsaber.As a Dark Lord of the Sith, Dooku returned to the curved lightsaber design he had wielded at Galidraan. He installed a red synthetic lightsaber crystal into his curved hilt, the mark of a Sith blade, which also contained a dual-phase setting, allowing him to instantly shorten the blade.[21] His curved lightsaber was the inspiration for the lightsabers constructed by Dooku's final Jedi apprentice, Komari Vosa, and wielded by her as the leader of the Bando Gora. After he slew Vosa, the Count gave these unique weapons to his Dark Acolyte, Asajj Ventress.[1] Dooku's Sith lightsaber was abandoned by Anakin Skywalker on the conning tower of the Invisible Hand, next to Dooku's corpse. The section of the Invisible Hand that contained the conning tower separated from the bridge when the ship broke apart during Coruscant re-entry.[2]

Starships
?The human's starship, it flies as if by magic. If Poggle crosses him, the human might use his magic against us.?
―Unidentified Geonosian guard[src]

Dooku's solar sailer.Count Dooku's personal transport after he left the Jedi Order was a Punworrca 116-class interstellar sloop, a gift from Geonosian Archduke Poggle the Lesser. The ship had a special Gree solar sail that provided an exotic form of superluminal propulsion and was stealthy enough for Dooku to slip through Coruscant's defenses unnoticed on numerous occasions. It was unarmed, although it sported a tractor beam array.[23] Dooku usually left the piloting to a modified FA-4 pilot droid augmented with Vulture Droid programming.[79]

The conning tower of the Confederate command ship Invisible Hand was also refitted to Dooku's specifications. It became known as the "Wizard's Tower," and was both a mobile base of operations and a private sanctum for the Count.[80] The Invisible Hand had previously been Nute Gunray's flagship, but was given to General Grievous when the Separatist military command was centralized.[81]

In a different version of how Dooku recruited Jango Fett to serve as the host for the clone army, Dooku put out an advertisement recruiting Mandalorian aspirants, inviting them to attend an event held at 1138 Miles Lane on Coruscant. In the fine print, it stated the last man, woman, or other standing would be hired. While Dooku observed, Fett showed up and took control of the gathering, verbally abusing and killing his competitors one by one as he enumerated the rules of "Fett Club." Finally, Fett was the last one remaining, and Dooku hired him, telling him to report to Kamino immediately.[82]

At some point during the Clone Wars, Dooku was observing a battle over Kashyyyk from a distance. However, the reception on his television set failed, and he was forced to recruit General Grievous to serve as an antenna for the set. While Dooku was successful in regaining reception, the Separatists lost the battle.[83]

Non-canon information ends here.
Portrayal

Christopher Lee, playing Dooku's final moments.Dooku was portrayed by Christopher Lee in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Kyle Rowling portrayed Dooku during most of the character's lightsaber sequences, due to Lee's inability to enact these physical scenes because of his age. Rowling's head was digitally replaced with Lee's during post-production.[84]

Dooku was voiced by Corey Burton in Star Wars: Clone Wars[85] and all video game appearances with the exception of Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter, where he was voiced by Jeff Bennett.[86]

Christopher Lee is to voice Dooku in the film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and has already recorded his dialogue.[87]

Character origins
The name "Dooku" was based on the Japanese word "doku," meaning poison.[88] In the Galician and Portuguese languages, "do cu," pronounced exactly as in "Dooku," means "from the ass." For this reason, Dooku's name was changed to "Dookan" in Brazil.[89]

Tyrannus—or more properly, Tyrannos—is an ancient Greek word, originally used to describe someone who ruled a city-state after overthrowing the preexisting government. It was a legitimate form of government and the word's meaning was not unfavorable in itself, but over time, as democracy developed, it gained negative connotations and came to mean "oppressor" or "tyrant."[90]

Aside from his name, Dooku has many similarities to Dracula, another famous role played by Christopher Lee. Both are villainous, erudite and sophisticated counts who wear a cape and dress in black. Additionally, Lee's Dracula played opposite Peter Cushing as Dr. Van Helsing on many occaisions.[91] Cushing portrayed Wilhuff Tarkin in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, a character that had some influence on the concept of Dooku.[92]

Continuity
Yoda is heavily implied to have been Dooku's Master in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and some early materials also indicate Dooku was trained by Yoda.[20] However, Thame Cerulian was established as Dooku's Master in the young adult book Legacy of the Jedi, and all subsequent sources on the topic.

The color of Dooku's hair as a younger man is inconsistent, being shown as blond on the Legacy of the Jedi cover, some shade of brown in Jango Fett: Open Seasons and the Most Precious Weapon comic, and black in several other sources, such as Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force. In addition, Dooku's hair had not completely lost its natural color at the end of Jango Fett: Open Seasons, but it was completely white in Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, which covered the same time period.


Dooku, young and old.What Dooku's lightsaber color was as a Jedi is also somewhat unclear. He used a green training lightsaber in the Most Precious Weapon comic, and has a green lightsaber similar to his Sith one on the cover of Legacy of the Jedi. Dooku was also depicted with a green lightsaber on the cover of one of the issues of Jango Fett: Open Seasons. However, within Open Seasons Dooku had a blue lightsaber blade.

Originally, Dooku was set to wield two lightsabers in combat against Yoda in Attack of the Clones. However, the idea was later dropped, and Dooku was stated to dislike usage of multiple blades in Labyrinth of Evil, though the comic version of Episode II kept the idea intact. In a likely reference to this cut sequence, Dooku's first action figure included a secondary lightsaber, albeit with a green blade.

A major continuity difficulty was caused by the events of the Game Boy Advance game Star Wars: The New Droid Army. In the final battle of the game, Dooku was defeated and presumably killed by Anakin Skywalker. This was obviously unworkable within canon, so several retcons were introduced. The first was that the Dooku killed was a Doppleg?nger created through the Force.[44] The second was that the Dooku killed was a clone.[10]

Early scripts of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith had additional dialogue during Dooku's death scene, after his wrists had been sliced off. Some of the cut portions of this scene can be seen in in the Episode III novel and the comic adaptation. Some of this dialogue was removed because Christopher Lee felt that it was out of character for Dooku to beg Sidious for his life, and George Lucas ended up agreeing with him.[93]
