Miscellaneous[]
Tyranus met Jango Fett on one of the moons of Bogden to recruit him as the template for the Clone Army.
Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi[]
Attack of the Clones[]
Dooku holds a meeting between the heads of many major business and economic interests, and selected senators.
This meeting resulted in the formation of a new Confederacy of Independent Systems to oppose the Republic.
Denying involvement with the bounty hunters, Dooku instead spoke of his former apprentice, Qui-Gon, suggesting that Jinn would have joined the movement.
Dooku continues stating Qui-Gon knew the Republic was incurably corrupt and would have joined if he knew the truth.
Count Dooku wonders what Kenobi would say if the Republic was now under the control of the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Count Dooku tells Kenobi to join him saying that together the two of them would destroy the Sith but the Jedi refused.
Disappointed, Dooku left the Jedi in his cell and mentioned that it would be difficult to secure his release.
Anakin and Padmé are brought before Count Dooku, Jango Fett, and Poggle the Lesser and request Obi-Wan's release (deleted scene).
Dooku with leaders of the Confederacy watch the couple on trial with Poggle the Lesser serving as judge, who finds them guilty.
The execution did not go precisely as planned, and the three escaped their chains while Gunray was furious that the prisoners weren't killed as planned.
Dooku revealed a squad of super battle droids that drove the Jedi Master off the balcony and onto the arena floor.
After Fett was slained by Mace Windu, Dooku was visibly disturbed by the bounty hunter's sudden demise.
After the Jedi had taken significant losses and were trapped in the arena, Dooku ordered the droids to cease fire.
The newly-formed Grand Army of the Republic rescued the Jedi as Dropships descended from the sky, carrying Yoda and many clone troopers.
Shortly after the battle had moved away from the arena, Dooku took his leave to oversee the greater battle.
The leadership of the new Confederacy regrouped in the Geonosian command center with Dooku joining them.
Count Dooku oversaw the battle, assuring his allies that his Master would not let the Republic get away with the invasion.
Poggle the Lesser gave Dooku the designs to the ultimate weapon, assuring him that the designs would be safe with his Master.
Skywalker impatiently charged at the Count but before he could reach Dooku however, the Count intercepted Skywalker with a blast of Force lightning.
Dooku's resulting blast of Force lightning hit him and telekinetically threw him against the wall of the hangar.
Dooku remarked that his powers were far beyond those of Kenobi and ordered him to back down before releasing a blast of lightning at the Jedi.
Kenobi initiated the duel by aggressively charging the Count, but Dooku deflected Kenobi's opening attack and his subsequent jab.
After a quick flurry of bladework, Kenobi sliced at Dooku's legs, but the Count leapt over the strike and flourished his blade to drive Kenobi back as he landed.
Tyranus notes that he had expected a better performance from someone who was held in such high esteem by Yoda.
Dooku, a full grin on his face, parried Kenobi's weapon and jabbed at his arm, slicing it open and causing Kenobi to drop his lightsaber.
As Dooku lifted his lightsaber to finish Kenobi, Skywalker ignited his lightsaber and used the Force to leap across the hanger.
Initially taken off his guard by Skywalker's aggressive series of attacks, Dooku briefly retreated but managed after a short time to regain his composure.
As he regrouped, Skywalker flicked his remaining weapon through a power cable on the floor, damaging it and causing the hangar lights to flicker out for a brief while.
Both combatants spent a short time regarding each other in silence, then engaged in a relatively long and continual bout of swordplay.
Though Skywalker managed in that time to hold his own against the Count, Dooku unceremoniously ended the duel.
Dooku asserted that his diminutive former master would not interfere and telekinetically flung a pair of wall fixtures at him.
Dooku then used the Force to break apart a small portion of the hangar ceiling, which he dropped onto Yoda.
Tyranus boasted that his power was now greater than that of any Jedi, even Yoda's own and unleashed Force lightning at the Jedi.
Without any apparent strain, Yoda redirected the blast back at Dooku, who deflected the lightning into a nearby wall.
Recognizing the futility of continuing his Force-based assault, Dooku challenged Yoda to lightsaber combat.
Yoda, using his mastery of the Force, showed great agility as he leaped about the room, with Tyranus becoming increasingly frustrated at his inability to overcome the diminutive master.
Recognizing that he could not defeat Yoda, and forced to act due to incoming Republic reinforcements, Dooku diverted Yoda's focus by using the Force to collapse one of the hangar's power columns onto Kenobi and Skywalker.
Yoda broke off the duel in order to telekinetically catch the power column, while Dooku quickly boarded his Geonosian solar sailor.
Having fled the battle, Dooku set his course for Coruscant, landing undetected on the Republic capital with his solar sailor in the Works in the LiMerge Building.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars film[]
The Separatists control the majority of the hyperlanes, leaving Republic forces stranded in different parts of the Outer Rim.
Ventress insisted that she could kill both the Master and Padawan at that moment, the Count cautioned patience.
Dooku promised an opportunity to hunt the Jedi once she had collected the data he needed to frame the Jedi.
Dooku tells Ventress to arrange for the espionage droid 4A-7 to edit a recording of Skywalker and Tano to show that they were kidnapping the child.
The data was sent to Dooku on Tatooine, who instructed his apprentice that she was now to recover the Huttlet and return him to Jabba.
Dooku delivered in the form of a manipulated holographic recording allegedly showing Skywalker and Tano, who had found Rotta on Teth, harming the child, when in reality they were caring for it after he had fallen ill.
This recording enraged Jabba, who demanded that Rotta be rescued and Skywalker's head delivered to him.
Jabba tells Count Dooku he is losing patience and demands an update on his son's kidnapping (deleted scene).
Dooku assures Jabba that his droid army is on the verge of defeating the Jedi and rescuing his heir.
Dooku asks Jabba while they wait if they can negotiate a treaty between his Hutt clans and Dooku's Separatists.
But Jabba states he will not discuss any treaty until his son has been returned alive and Dooku reluctantly obliges.
Count Dooku tells Ventress the goal was to gain access to the Hutt's network of secret hyperspace routes.
Ventress in the hologram was distracted by the arrival of Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was leading the Republic reinforcements.
In failure, Ventress was forced to contact Dooku and explain to him and Jabba the Hutt that Skywalker had killed Rotta before she could intervene.
Although Dooku had hoped she at least managed to kill the Jedi after losing control of the Huttlet, she admitted that Skywalker had escaped and was on his way to Tatooine.
Jabba questioned why the Jedi would come to Tatooine, to which Dooku said that the Jedi plot had become clear and that Skywalker would soon arrive to kill the crime lord and wipe out the entire Hutt Clan.
Although displeased with Ventress's failure, Dooku used the situation to his advantage by convincing Jabba that the Jedi sought to gain complete control of Hutt Space without Jabba's interference.
Senator Padmé Amidala eluded her IG-86 sentinel droid escort and infiltrated Ziro the Hutt's throne room.
Fearing that his role would be discovered, Ziro contacted Dooku, informing him of Amidala's investigation.
Knowing Jabba would execute the Jedi responsible for killing his son, Dooku assured Ziro that he would become master of all the Hutt Clans when the Jedi would bring Jabba to justice.
Padmé attempted to sneak out with the information, but she was apprehended by one of Ziro's sentinel droids.
Dooku realized that it was Padmé, he told Ziro that his allies would pay him for delivering Amidala to him and Ziro agreed to the deal, and placed her in his dungeon.
Ziro thanked Dooku for the profitable alliance and the Sith said he would contact him once he had the Huttlet.
Riding his speeder bike into the desert, the Count soon discovered Skywalker, who was waiting for him.
Dooku unleashing a barrage of Force lightning at Skywalker who absorbed the attack with his lightsaber.
As the combatants met, Dooku opened the battle with a rapid overhand, Skywalker parrying before countering.
Dooku easily evaded and held off Anakin's wild attacks, and unleashed another overhand, forcing his opponent into a bladelock.
In the momentary lull, Dooku tauntingly complemented Anakin, stating that his training had come a long way.
Using the second pause, Dooku again taunted, this time about the feelings of pain and loss he felt from Anakin.
Dooku's taunts confused and enraged Anakin, who in a fit of anger, unleashed a massive Force push against Dooku who crouched for a moment to protect himself from the flurry of sand kicked up from the Force.
With Skywalker knocked off his feet and disarmed by Dooku's counter-attack, the Count seized the moment and leapt at the Jedi, blade raised for the kill.
As Skywalker pushed Dooku's blade aside and regained his feet, the Count managed to slash the Jedi across the back, cutting Skywalker's backpack in half.
Dooku stands shocked as Anakin revealed that the backpack was full of rocks, and that Rotta himself was with Ahsoka Tano.
Dooku was not surprised, stating that he expected such a deception and that his "web was strong enough to catch your insignificant little Padawan".
As Skywalker retorted that Ahsoka was more skillful than Dooku believed, a seemingly enraged Dooku countered that Anakin was simply deceiving himself.
Anakin remained defensive until he dodged a slash at his neck, at which point he seized the offense.
Count Dooku finds Skywalker has grown in his power since he bested him, but he remains confidant in his own abilities.
Stating that he had a message from Skywalker's Padawan, Dooku produced a hologram of the IG-100 MagnaGuards Dooku had left in wait at the palace attacking Ahsoka.
As Anakin looked down at the seemingly defeated Dooku, the Count stated that after his droids killed Rotta, Ahsoka would be delivered to Jabba for "punishment for the Huttlet's murder".
Dooku taunted that he couldn't imagine Jabba being merciful and Anakin left to save Ahsoka, departing on Dooku's own speeder.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars series[]
Dooku was informed by TX-20 that the Jedi were sending Senator Bail Organa of Alderaan to the neutral system Toydaria to negotiate a treaty to establish supply lines to the Republic garrison and the Twi'lek people.
On Rugosa, the Toydarian monarch King Katuunko and his retinue await the arrival of their Jedi envoy when Asajj Ventress arrives and presents Katuunko with a hologram of Count Dooku.
Dooku attempts to express the Jedi's supposed incapability to protect Toydaria in hopes of swaying the king to his cause.
Dooku tells the king that he learned he was considering joining the Republic and was going to speak with his former master Yoda.
Dooku asks the Katuunko how the Jedi can protect them if they were incapable of protecting themselves.
Dooku stated that the Separatist Droid Army could better protect Toydaria, outnumbering the Grand Army of the Republic 100-to-one.
After returning to her base, Ventress contacted Dooku and stated that her forces were being deployed.
Through a holotransmission, Katuunko informed Dooku that one Jedi was not worth a hundred battle droids, but rather a thousand, and stated that he would be joining the Republic.
Dooku urged him to reconsider, but the Toydarian king refused to deal with those who went back on their promises, as Ventress had broken the terms of the competition.
Deciding that negotiations would be more fruitful with Katuunko's successor, Dooku spitefully ordered Ventress to murder the king.
Katuunko's guards tried to stop the Dark Acolyte, but Ventress merely Force pushed them aside, knocking them unconscious.
Dooku, watching the events unfold through the holoprojector, commented before taking his leave that it was a pity that he had not been there himself.
When a fleet of Republic cruisers entered the system, Dooku ordered Grievous to jam their communications.
Seeing this as another opportunity to test the Malevolence 's ion cannons, Dooku gave Grievous the order to fire them.
The Malevolence discharged its cannons; as the wave approached, Koon and the clone troopers braced themselves for impact, the wave passed over the fleet and neutralized the cruisers' shields, and the vulnerable cruisers fell to fire from the numerous laser cannons.
To ensure the secrecy of the Malevolence 's ion cannons, Count Dooku dispatched rocket droids using a boarding ship to hunt and kill any survivors.
Grievous and Dooku pick up a faint droid signal and the cyborg orders the ship into attack position.
Grievous reluctantly informs Count Dooku that the survivors have escaped, meaning the Republic will learn of the Separatists' secret weapon.
Dooku, displeased with the failure, lost faith in General Grievous's skills thus he would speak with his Master.
Dooku was watching the cyborg general's progress through a holotransmission and was pleased that the medical convoy had been eliminated.
With Count Dooku watching his progress via hologram, Grievous intercepted and eradicated a Republic medical convoy in the Ryndellia system.
Count Dooku shows Grievous the coordinates to a secret Outer Rim medical station, the Kaliida Shoals Medical Center, which was treating over 60,000 wounded Republic clones.
En route to the medical facility, Dooku contacted Grievous through a hologram transmission, after he received intelligence from his Master, that the Republic had launched a small group of fighters to attack the Malevolence.
Grievous noted that the Malevolence 's hyperdrive was not fast and the warship's navicomputer was forced to recalculate its coordinates in order to go around the Kaliida Nebula.
The Sith Lord advised his general not to underestimate the Jedi, but Grievous maintained that it would be Skywalker who would underestimate the Separatist ship.
Not wanting the General to lose the Malevolence, Dooku told Grievous that an important senator would be arriving and if captured the Republic would cease their attack.
Dooku contacted Grievous, stating that the general and his warship were being awaited at the rendezvous point.
Tyranus said that he was already on the task, for he was sending Asajj Ventress to either free the Neimoidian or, should he talk, silence him.
Tyranus assured his Master that Ventress was a gifted assassin and he had his word that she would complete her mission "to the letter."
Dooku gave Ventress her mission, but warned her that she would have to prove herself worthy of being his apprentice.
The gloating viceroy explained to the clones and Jedi that they had walked into a trap shortly before being replaced by a hologram of Count Dooku.
Dooku claimed he would be offering them an "alternative prize" to compensate for their failed attempt to recapture Gunray.
Dooku soon contacts General Grievous and warns him that his ongoing stalemate in the war has become unacceptable.
The Count voices his concerns that Grievous has lost his focus and that Darth Sidious wants more dramatic results — more dead Jedi.
After completing Grievous' repairs, EV-A4-D followed the general back to the control room, informed Grievous of an incoming transmission from Dooku.
Grievous soon discovered from Dooku that it was the Sith Lord himself who had deactivated his MagnaGuards and let the Jedi into his lair in order to reassess the cyborg general.
The Count confirms to Grievous that this is a test for him before the cyborg cuts off the transmission.
Returning to his castle, Grievous proceeded to the sanctum overlook chamber, where Count Dooku awaited a report via hololink.
Grievous stated that the Jedi had been defeated, and while Dooku revealed that victory over Vebb and the clones had been expected, the Sith Lord was pleased, however he was disappointed when he learned that Fisto had escaped and stated that there was "room for improvement" before severing the connection.
Kenobi and Skywalker enter Dooku's quarters where they find the Sith Lord serenely mediating in a cross-legged pose.
As Skywalker and Kenobi confronted the Sith Lord, the Republic Star Destroyer Resolute opened fire on Dooku's frigate.
Anakin orders Dooku to surrender, but the Sith Lord instead trips a trap door and vanishes through an escape hatch.
While Skywalker followed Dooku through the ship's interior, Kenobi left to cut the Sith Lord off in the hangar bay.
Although the Jedi was able to deflect the bolts with his lightsaber, the glare caused him to lose sight of his quarry at a junction where the hatch took two different routes.
Pursuing Dooku, Kenobi managed to land a shot on Dooku's solar sailer, forcing the Count to crash-land on Vanqor.
Elsewhere in the shadows of a cave, Count Dooku ambushed the Jedi by causing a sudden collapse in the cave ceiling, and Dooku grins at his handiwork.
The Count uses the Force to pull Anakin's lightsaber from the debris stating he will no longer need it.
Dooku turns the corner to discover his sailor is joined by a massive saucer-shaped ship of unknown origin.
Ohnaka was not intimidated by Dooku's stately manner while his pet, Pilf Mukmuk, sits on Dooku's shoulder.
Hondo complemented the Solar Sailor, realizing the wealth of this stranger and Dooku allowed the pirates to raid his craft.
Ohnaka, playing the helpful type, offers Dooku transport to the nearest planet, Florrum, six parsecs away.
Ohnaka's offer was taken by Dooku, who agreed to pay in order to escape from Skywalker and Kenobi and the Sith hid his lightsabers so as not to show his status.
Dooku arrived at their destination, but after stepping onto the planet Florrum Dooku was surrounded at blasterpoint by the gang.
Hondo then revealed he had known that Dooku was the Confederacy's leader, and also revealed that he now possessed Dooku's lightsaber thinking he was a Jedi, and told the Sith he was outnumbered.
Dooku attempted to negotiate that if he could get proper means of communications, he could call someone to pay any ransom for him, but Hondo knew that if the Count contacted the Confederacy, their armies would crush them in order to get Dooku free of charge.
Ohnaka contacted the Republic Supreme Chancellor, asking for a million credits in spice, in exchange for the Count.
Palpatine and several others spoke with Hondo via hologram, and the pirate showed an embarrassed Dooku.
Ohnaka arranged a meeting between the Jedi and Dooku, who was suspended splayed in a containment field.
After Anakin and Obi-Wan entered Dooku's cell and subtly mocked his current imprisonment, Dooku relished in the thought that the Jedi would soon join him in captivity.
The Count warned Kenobi that the Weequay were "devious and deceitful, and most importantly...stupid."
Dooku chides the Jedi for their naivety, for he warns that they "underestimated them at their own peril."
Dooku tells the Jedi he did warn them the pirates were devious and that all three of them were shackled together and Dooku tried to separate them to no avail.
The Count states that while he holds his tongue the two would devise a brilliant strategy to get them off of Florrum.
Dooku used the Force to levitate a knife into the key slot of their holding cell, overriding the locking mechanism.
The Count maneuvers a carelessly left behind knife into the key slot, tripping the door open; Dooku and the two Jedi are free.
Dooku, Obi-Wan and Anakin sneak through the pirate compound, having to stay close due to their shackles and Dooku knocks a pirate out.
The Jedi and Dooku open a door only to stumble upon seven slacking pirate guards and their escape was short-lived.
Dooku and the Jedi are once again placed in a cell, as a frustrated Ohnaka tries to figure out what to do with the troublesome prisoners.
Count Dooku watches as Kenobi used a mind trick to convince their guard to open the door and go get something to drink.
As the Jedi try to twist and turn to avoid incoming fire, a blaster strike snaps the cord connecting Obi-Wan to Dooku.
Falso was about to flee in a Flarestar-class attack shuttle knowing that Ohnaka would figure out his betrayal, when he was suddenly choked and lifted into the air by an unseen force.
Turk Falso and Barb Mentir make their way to a waiting starship when Falso stops mid-stride, clutching at his throat and Mentir watched as Count Dooku emerged from the shadows and manipulated Falso into shooting Mentir in the chest.
The Jedi sense through the Force the sudden departure of Count Dooku as a pirate saucer lifts off from the compound and disappears into the sky, and the Sith Lord escapes.
While the two battle droids moved into position faraway from the base, Lok Durd opened a hololink to Count Dooku.
Count Dooku authorized general Lok Durd test of their new weapon, the Defoliator Deployment Tank on Maridun.
After the initial success of the weapon's effects on the battle droids, Dooku asked to him to test the weapon on living, sentient targets and Durd assured him that he would test it on the Lurmen colonists.
During the initial start of the Republic's return to Ryloth, Dooku assured Tambor that the Republic forces were spread thin in its sector and that it would be suicide for the Republic.
Dooku informs Tambor that his tactical droid has informed him of the "pitiful job" he has done of protecting the Separatists' investment on Ryloth.
Knowing that Tambor was no match for Windu, Dooku ordered him to retreat with valuables that can be taken with him and to destroy everything else on Ryloth.
Tambor is rather alarmed, but Dooku explains: Ryloth's fate will demonstrate to the galaxy the cost of a "Republic victory".
Dooku demanded Tambor that he needed to take off the planet, and steal every available resource on the only Separatist base at the city of Lessu.
TA-175 reports to Dooku regarding Tambor's refusal to retreat in time, who believes this to be unfortunate.
The Count then ordered the tactical droid to order the Hyena-class bombers to destroy the capital Lessu immediately.
Dooku himself advised patience, proclaiming that the Republic's continued involvement in Mandalorian affairs, would spread discontent amongst the Mandalore populace, causing them to rebel to their cause so they can overthrow the Duchess.
Count Dooku, aboard a Munificent-class star frigate, discussing the final plans via hologram with Death Watch leader Pre Vizsla.
Vizsla was impatient, as both he and his men were anxious to fight, but Dooku recalled the plot that they had set into motion of manipulating the Republic Senate into ordering an occupation of Mandalore.
Dooku continued stating the Death Watch would appear as "liberators" when they struck back at the Republic occupation force and would thus gain Death Watch the people's support.
Dooku then ordered Vizsla to send a Death Watch assassin to Coruscant, as the Duchess Satine had to die.
Dooku believed the Mandalorians will be so resentful of the Republic invasion that when they arrive, the splinter group will be viewed as saviors by the people.
Sidious expresses concern about possible interference by the Duchess Satine, but is assured by Dooku that a Death Watch assassin will take care of her.
At the Death Watch base, a siren is blaring and a voice repeatedly orders all troops to stand down infuriating Pre Vizsla who complains to Dooku that his promise of Death Watch's rise to power on Mandalore failed.
Seething, Vizsla used the Count as a target for his frustration and stated his intention to continue with the invasion.
Dooku advised against such a rash action—despite the Death Watch's capability of conquering Mandalore, they would only be able to hold the planet for no more than a day if they did not have the people's support.
Dooku stated that he had other ways of accomplishing their goal and Vizsla continues to angrily stare through the hologram.
When Pantoran Chairman Papanoida's daughters were kidnapped, Dooku offered his assistance in an attempt to coerce Pantora.
Dooku informs the cyborg warlord that his representatives in the Republic are counting on Grievous with disturbing the process.
Dooku ordered General Grievous to send droids disguised as sanitary units to commit acts of sabotage on the capital.
Dooku and Card tasked Grievous with overseeing the transfer of disguised demolition droids to Coruscant to wreak havoc and force the Senate to act.
Amidst the widespread debate that broke out, Count Dooku called for order so that Mina Bonteri's bill could be brought to a vote.
The Separatist Parliament in general approves this proposition and Dooku publicly favors the decision.
With the resolution passed, Dooku contacted the three conspirators on Coruscant, who were troubled by the development.
The Count did not share their concern; he knew that once the droids carried out their programming, the move for peace would be halted and the war would continue.
Dooku assures them that the impending Coruscant attack will snuff any chances of a peace agreement and the three will get their fair share.
After the bombing on Coruscant, Dooku sent a message to the Galactic Senate, accusing them of launching their own barbaric attack on the Separatists on their territory.
In a seedy bar on Coruscant, the two thugs — Robonino and Chata Hyoki receive a holographic transmission from Dooku.
Dooku tells the bounty hunters to persuade senators to change their minds about a bill that would appropriate funds for millions of new clone troops.
The bounty hunters laugh and drink at the idea of murder while Dooku ends the holographic transmission.
Lord Sidious told Dooku that he sensed a Disturbance in the Force stating his assassin has become very powerful.
Sidious suspected Dooku was training Ventress to his Sith apprentice to destroy him, but Dooku assured that his loyalty was to him alone.
To prove his loyalty, the Count was ordered to eliminate Ventress and Dooku tried to convince Sidious not to do this, but his master snapped and demanded it.
Tyranus began to protest that Ventress was his most trusted subordinate, but as Sidious harshly repeated his demand, the Sith apprentice bowed and obeyed.
Dooku tells his apprentice that she already lost the battle and informed her that he recalled her reinforcements.
Dooku coldly states that Ventress has failed him for the last time, telling her that she was no longer his apprentice and that she would soon die.
Dooku orders the command ship carrying Ventress and the Jedi to be destroyed but TJ-912 questioned the order, but ultimately followed it when Dooku confirmed his intention.
The tactical droid aboard the attacking ship reports to Dooku that the command ship is destroyed and that their scanning indicated there were no survivors, unaware that Ventress had in fact escaped at the last moment.
Pleased his aim had presumably been accomplished, Count Dooku declared the tactical droid's work done and ordered her to recall the remaining ships of the fleet from the area, an order she acknowledged.
Darth Sidious was pleased with Dooku's obedience in killing Ventress, proving his loyalty to the Dark Lord.
In the dreams, Dooku tells Ventress he will teach her the ways of the dark side but she had to prove herself.
The Count asleep in his bed while Asajj Ventress and her two Nightsisters became invisible and infiltrated Castle Serenno on Serenno.
Ventress shot a poison dart that had been dipped in Nightsister poison into Dooku's neck waking him from his slumber.
Dooku armed himself with his lightsaber, but quickly began to lose his vision as a result of the poison.
Nevertheless he attacked his assailants, who he assumed to be Jedi on the basis of their lightsaber blades.
Posing as Jedi, Ventress and her Nightsister accomplices took along stolen Jedi lightsabers to engage Dooku in combat.
His senses dulled by Ventress' poison dart and the cloak of invisibility which surrounds his attackers, Dooku is caught at a disadvantage but fights back furiously.
Ventress, Karis, and Naa'leth went in on the Sith Lord, striking to kill their target who remained a dangerous and talented foe despite his impairments.
Though his vision was distorted, Dooku is able to effectively fend off a prolonged lightsaber attack.
Karis lands behind Dooku and activates her lightsaber while Ventress and Naa'leth point their blades at him.
Ventress, who had managed to stay disguised during the entire confrontation, managed to disarm the Sith Lord.
Nearly beaten, Dooku, who fakes being completely drained of energy, instead channels all of his rage.
The Dathomirian nearly took the Sith Lord's life, but Dooku surprised his three assassins with a sudden and overwhelming blast of Force lightning.
As Ventress readied her death blow, Dooku electrifies Ventress with in one extremely powerful blast of Force lightning.
Count Dooku evicted the assassins from his palace out the window and over a cliff, ending the attack and disrupted their invisibility spell.
Talzin offered the Count a replacement to his lost female assassin with a highly skilled Nightbrother to train as a pupil.
Dooku, seeing this as an opportunity to get the new apprentice he desired, agreed to the Nightsister's offer.
During their meeting, Dooku asked that the Nightsisters ally with him and pledge themselves to the Confederacy.
Talzin refused his generous offer and stated that their loyalty was to their own clan and said the only reason she is helping him is because long ago he chose to help her and that she hoped to never make contact with Dooku again once their business was done.
Inside her lair, Talzin brought Dooku to a chamber where she began to conjure something using the power of raw spirit ichor.
Mother Talzin offered Dooku a goblet of blackroot the shaman conjured for him through use of the alchemical base of all magic.
Talzin asks if he recalls the Sith warrior Darth Maul, to which Dooku responds that he does, but remembers that he was killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi a decade ago on Naboo.
Talzin suggests recruiting a male from a village from the other side of the planet, a warrior of Darth Maul's caliber and said that there were others of his bloodline who still lived and could be as powerful as Maul.
With Ventress "dead" and the Jedi attacks increasing, Dooku accepted Talzin's offer as securing a new personal assassin is essential.
Talzin and fellow Nightsisters Karis and Talia escorted Opress aboard a transport shuttle to Dooku's homeworld of Serenno and presented him.
Dooku was impressed by the sight of Opress and how Talzin described him as the fiercest of his kind, assuring Dooku that Opress would serve him well.
Dooku tells Savage that because the temple served as a military outpost for the Republic and the Jedi Order, the base's capture would enable the Confederacy to conquer that area of the galaxy.
Dooku sends Opress to Devaron to finish the battle, destroy the Republic forces and capture the Temple.
After slaughtering the Republic forces present there almost singlehandedly, including two Jedi, Savage contacted Count Dooku.
With all droids, Jedi, and clones slaughtered, Opress reached the Temple of Eedit and reported his success to Dooku via Imagecaster who was impressed by the work of his new acolyte and had him return to Serenno at once.
Upon Opress' return to Dooku's palace, Dooku told Opress that he foresaw that he would do great things as his new apprentice.
Count Dooku vows they will be even more powerful than Lord Sidious, and they will rule the galaxy together.
In the throne room of the Count's palace, Opress engaged in his first practice session of lightsaber combat with Dooku.
Opress was the first to attack, swinging his lightsaber at Dooku with powerful strikes but his Master easily avoided his attacks.
Dooku, a highly accomplished swordsman who owed his reputation to his previous career as a Jedi Master, swats away Opress' blade.
Dooku then brought both his and Opress's lightsabers around his apprentice's throat, ending the duel.
Dooku looms over Savage after besting him holding two lightsabers at his throat in a very deadly scissor formation.
Despite Opress's lack of skill with a lightsaber, Dooku sought to hone his natural ability in combat by drawing upon the Nightbrother's strong feelings of hate.
Reaching out with the Force, Opress was initially able to lift only a few of the pillars to a meager height.
Dooku tested Savage with his trademark ruthlessness, teaching the Nightbrother to unleash his true power by channeling his rage and fear.
Dooku strives to stir Opress' anger and hatred in order to unlock the power of the dark side within him, torturing and agitating his disciple with demeaning criticism and Force lightning.
Count Dooku attacks Opress several times with Force lightning and agitating his disciple with demeaning criticism.
While being electrocuted, Opress gained a crude proficiency of the Force and was able to lift the blocks a greater distance.
Although Opress questioned how one could defend against Force lightning, Dooku withheld the method of resistance to avoid making his Sith apprentice too powerful, promising to reveal such secrets in due time.
Dooku tells his apprentice that he is sending him on another mission to Toydaria to bring King Katuunko to him alive and kill anyone who gets in his way.
Receiving Opress on the bridge of his destroyer, Dooku was not pleased with his performance, calling him an ignorant beast, for he had killed Katuunko in his haste to escape from the Jedi.
Opress pleads with Dooku for forgiveness, to which the Sith replies that forgiveness is not the way of the dark side.
As Savage is hunched over in pain, Asajj Ventress appears revealing herself to be alive, to the shock of Tyranus.
Ventress touched her finger to Opress' forehead, recalling the memory of his allegiance to her and activating the spell that ensured his loyalty to the Nightsisters, they attack the Count in concert.
Back on the bridge, Ventress made the first move, lashing out ferociously at her former master and Dooku easily blocked her strikes and kicked her aside.
When Ventress was knocked aside by the Sith Lord, Opress took over, relentlessly battering away at Dooku's defenses.
But, on the last downward chop, the Count was forced to block and the strength behind the blow sent him flying across the room, knocking the lightsaber from his hand.
Yet his victory was short-lived, as Dooku recovered in time to evade his advances and repelled him with Force lightning.
But his former apprentice managed to pull it as well, sending it flying to another part of the bridge.
Without his lightsaber, all Dooku could do was dodge and evade as Ventress hacked and slashed at him with her blades.
Standing up, the Nightbrother attempted to lunge at Dooku, only to be greeted by another blast of Force lightning.
Ventress, disgusted at his weakness, repeatedly ordered him to kill Dooku, but each time he made an attack, he was electrocuted.
Dooku simultaneously counters Opress attacks with more Force lightning, preventing him from rejoining the fight.
When Opress admitted that Dooku was too strong, Ventress became even more enraged, saying that his lack of ability would not be her undoing.
Both Ventress and Dooku criticize her pawn's inability to strike at Dooku and began berating him for his weakness.
At that moment, Opress's fury surpassed his loyalty to Ventress, and he broke free of her spell of allegiance; beaten and wounded, Opress turned on both Ventress and Dooku, grabbing them in a powerful Force choke.
Opress, torn between his loyalty to Ventress and his inability to defeat Dooku, roared in fury and used the Force to choke both of them, lifting them off the ground.
Dooku and Ventress both struggled helplessly as Opress threw them both across the room, slamming them into the wall.
In an ensuing three-way duel, Opress directed overpowering lightsaber strikes at his opponents, knocking them backward a second time.
Momentarily ceasing their duel, Dooku and Ventress retaliated with a blast of lightning and a powerful push respectively in concert to hurtle the Nightbrother against the entry door.
The truce did not last long, however, as the Count attempted to electrocute Ventress, who absorbed the bolts into her lightsaber.
While Opress was catching his breath, Dooku fled from the bridge via an escape hatch, and Ventress pursued him without the aid of her one-time servant.
Ventress followed Dooku into the lower levels of the destroyer where she once again confronted her former Master.
Dooku ended the confrontation by throwing the Nightsister into a bulkhead and disarming her with telekinetic Force.
After a few moments of strikes and parries, Dooku managed to jerk Ventress' lightsabers from her hands with the Force.
While pinning Ventress against the wall, Dooku subjected her to a blast of electricity pouring the blast into her body.
Standing over his wounded foe, Dooku raised his blade and stabbed downward; trying to finish the job he had failed to do once before.
But, just as the blade was about to pierce her, Ventress narrowly avoided death by using the Force to push his blade into the piping beside her instead with harsh gasses flowing out of the severed pipe and into Dooku's face, blinding him for a moment.
Ventress seized the opportunity and recovered her lightsabers before diving into an escape pod and jettisoning to safety.
Dooku contacted the Citadel's warden, Commander Osi Sobeck about Jedi Council Member Even Piell's information on the Nexus Route.
Sobeck assured Dooku that he will recapture the prisoners and secure the navigational data of the Nexus Route.
After the Count expressed his frustration about the conflict, Sobeck assured him that everything was under control and ended transmission.
Sobeck replied that this was not the case, but his troops would soon capture them and Dooku stated he must have the Nexus Route coordinates, for they can lead directly to Coruscant and facilitate a surprise attack on the Republic.
Dooku told Sobeck that his honesty was the only thing keeping him alive, though the Count decides to give him another chance until success or failure are a certainty.
Riff Tamson was then contacted by Count Dooku, who dispatched Trident-class assault ships and Aqua droids to bolster the Quarren forces.
Riff Tamson confers with the holographic form of Count Dooku, who demands an update on the civil war.
After the initial victory, Ri and Tamson situated themselves at the Central palace of the Mon Calamari capital where Dooku insisted they press on and take full control of the planet.
Dooku also ordered that all prisoners, including women and children, be processed and sent to internment camps below the city to work.
Ri spoke with concern for the captured Mon Calamari if the children could be spared the fate of a slave, but a furious Dooku silenced the Quarren leader and insisted all Mon Calamari be sent to work as slaves.
The Count revealed he was sending Tamson reinforcements that should be kept in reserve until the Republic launched a counterattack.
With Lee-Char still at large, Dooku was still not satisfied and ordered Tamson to use any means necessary to draw him out of hiding.
When Dooku stressed the importance of finding Lee-Char and killing him, Ri inquired if all this was necessary since they had already won the battle and could start rebuilding.
Dooku scoffed at the idea and sternly reminded Ri about the bigger war going on outside the planet, a war in which Ri had pledged his allegiance to the CIS.
The Separatist leader exhibited no interest in the Quarren's opinions — he only seeks to exploit them in the larger war against the Republic.
Dooku asks Tamson if his soldiers had arrived, Riff states his squad of several Karkarodon enforcers had arrived on Mon Cala to aid in holding the planet.
Nossor Ri's sinking feeling that he has forged a terrible alliance grew as he sees that Tamson brought his own forces of the same species to the planet.
In his private offices, Minister Rish Loo contacts Count Dooku and reports his progress of creating turmoil on Naboo.
Loo is in fact secretly in league with Dooku, who has promised him the freedom of his people in exchange for aiding the Separatists in invading Naboo.
Loo is paving the way for a Separatist invasion of the planet, in return for a place in of power in Dooku's new order.
When Darth Sidious got news of General Grievous's capture, he contacted Tyranus in Rish Loo's secret lab on Naboo.
Sidious tells Tyranus that Grievous was still needed in their plans for the Clone Wars and asks what is to be done.
At first, Tyranus doubted that the Republic would trade Grievous for Skywalker, but Sidious was confident that Senator Padmé Amidala would do so nonetheless and Dooku complies with his Master's orders before ending the transmission.
When Rish Loo approached Dooku and began to speak of their ongoing plans, Dooku denounced Loo as a "fool".
Finished with the traitorous Gungan minister, Dooku kills Rish Loo by abruptly stabbing him with his lightsaber.
The Count circles around with lanterns flying around the chamber after revealing the Sith's hand in the first invasion of Naboo more than ten years ago.
Dooku and Anakin then briefly had a heated discussion regarding the invasion, in which Dooku revealed that the Sith were not only behind the current invasion, but had orchestrated the first invasion as well because the Sith control everything.
Anakin initially took the advantage, forcing Dooku to break off the bout by telekinetically barraging Skywalker with lamp droids.
Skywalker became incapacitated by several electric shocks and attacks from the MagnaGuard's electrostaffs.
The Magnaguards then pinned Skywalker to the ground, but calling upon his anger, he knocked them away with a Force Repulse.
Shortly following the captures of Grievous and Skywalker, Padmé Amidala was attempting to contact Anakin from Otoh Gunga, when Dooku appeared on her holoprojector.
Inquiring as to what he wanted, Dooku informed Amidala that he had captured Skywalker who was held in a containment field.
Padmé, shocked and upset at the capture of her husband, was conflicted between her duties to the Republic and her feelings for Anakin.
Dooku then stated that he would be willing to exchange Skywalker for Grievous in a prisoner transfer.
When Senator Amidala refused the offer, Dooku commanded his droids to torture Skywalker through the use of several electric shocks.
Padmé cannot make the decision easily as Grievous was a valuable prisoner but could not abandoned Anakin causing Dooku to grin.
Torn between her feelings for Anakin and her commitment to the welfare of the Republic, Dooku gave her an hour to come to a decision.
Count Dooku and his Separatist forces arrive on Kiros to pressure Governor Roshti and his colony of Togruta into siding with the Confederacy.
When Dooku arrived with an invasion fleet of battle droids, Roshti again stated his wish for his people to remain neutral in the conflict.
Darts D'Nar then spoke with Count Dooku and Zygerrian Prime Minister Atai Molec about the last slave shipment.
When Kenobi entered the main room of D'Nar's headquarters, he saw the commander talking to Dooku and the Zygerrian Atai Molec via a holoprojector, assuring them that the situation on the planet was under his control.
As Kenobi entered the room, he was taken under guard by two commando droids, Dooku introduced him and Molec growled.
Count Dooku arrives at Zygerria to negotiate the acquisition of millions of slaves for the Sith cause that his master had stated.
Dooku assures Sidious that the Queen's defiance won't sent back his plans and the Sith Lord orders him to gain her cooperation — or end her rule if she fails to comply.
Queen Scintel then welcomed Dooku, despite having not asked him to come though Dooku then told her that Molec was the one who had asked him to come.
Miraj explains that she intends to break the will of the Jedi, starting with Obi-Wan Kenobi, through the hardship and cruelty at Kadavo.
Dooku told Scintel that he ultimately planned to exterminate the Jedi, not enslave them and ordered her to summon Skywalker so he could personally execute him.
Count Dooku warned her that her power over Skywalker was an illusion and once again ordered her to kill Skywalker.
Molec saw his queen as unworthy to rule and decided to side with Dooku, Scintel then pulled out her electro-whip.
The guards, believing that Skywalker had murdered their queen, tried to kill him on the orders of Dooku.
Finding himself outnumbered and outgunned without his lightsaber, Anakin picks up the dying queen and flees from the palace with Dooku trying to stop him but managed to escape.
In the control room of the Kadavo facility, Obi-wan and Rex are brought before Keeper Agruss and a hologram of Dooku.
Dooku summoned both Kenobi and Rex to the facility's command center and told the two about his intention to dispose of them.
Agruss, under the order of Count Dooku, prepared to execute Obi-Wan and Rex, but the men of the Republic overpowered the guards while Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano led an assault by clone forces to liberate the slaves.
Dooku gives Obi-Wan a grim ultimatum; if Skywalker does not surrender, all the slaves will be killed.
In the confusion of the attack, Kenobi and Rex broke free of their restraints and began disabling their guards while Dooku looked on.
Lux Bonteri is taken to the vessel which brought the Separatist delegation to Mandalore and before the holographic projection of Count Dooku.
The hologram of Dooku warns Moralo that time is running short and Eval concurs before ending the transmission.
The trio consisting of the disguised Obi-Wan, Moralo Eval, and Cad Bane arrives at Castle Serenno, where the Count himself welcomes them, although the latter chastises Eval for his delay.
The Separatist leader welcomes the trio to the next stage of the conspiracy and invites Bane and Hardeen to participate, promising a worthy reward for success.
With Hardeen and Bane's participation, Count Dooku has a dozen bounty hunters for his challenge to determine which ones are the best.
The Count explained that five most skilled among the survivors would participate in a job that would pay very well.
Unarmed, all of them are to face a life-and-death challenge in the Box and only the first five survivors will be chosen for the task Dooku has in store for them, in return for a handsome reward.
Dooku states the surviving recruits will carry out an important assignment that will bring the Republic to its pitiful knees.
While watching the bounty hunters performance, Dooku asked Eval about Rako Hardeen while both where watching the tournament from the control room of the Box.
Eval then explained that Hardeen recently killed Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi with a sniper rifle which apparently interested Dooku.
The Count tells Eval that he will perhaps put Hardeen in charge, with Moralo stating Dooku promised him the lead role.
Eval attempted to drop Hardeen to the flames but he was saved by Bane, who told Eval if he wanted to kill Hardeen he should do it like a man and Dooku agreed with this.
Count Dooku's patience with Eval has come to an end and dropped him in the room to fight Hardeen face to face.
Dooku observes as Eval attempted to fight unfairly, calling in probe droids and bringing up a maze in the floor and attempting to burn Hardeen.
Nevertheless, Hardeen defeated Eval eventually, and Dooku ordered Hardeen to finish Eval off, but being Kenobi in disguise and a Jedi, refused to kill Eval to Dooku's disappointment.
Dooku, however, congratulated the remaining bounty hunters for surviving the Box and announced that the job was in fact to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine during the Festival of Light on Naboo.
Dooku, Moralo Eval, Cad Bane and his team, consisting of Obi-Wan, Embo, Derrown and Twazzi, claim possession of a small hangar in Theed by murdering the mechanics inside.
But as the group leave for their posts, Dooku takes Bane aside for a moment and advises him to keep a special lookout for Hardeen.
As the team departed, Dooku alerted Bane to "Hardeen", tasking him to keep a close on "Hardeen" as he suspected something wrong about him.
That night, with the Republic security forces having been sent back to Coruscant, Palpatine and Anakin instead of a banquet however, they instead came face to face with Count Dooku himself.
The conversation halts as they enter the banquet hall -- with Dooku waiting for them and welcomes the pair.
Dooku revealed that he had never intended for the other bounty hunters to kidnap Palpatine; he had simply been using them as a diversion so he could launch his own kidnapping plot.
With only Anakin left to protect Palpatine, Dooku asserted that he could easily kidnap the Chancellor and activated his lightsaber.
Anakin quickly cut down the two Magnaguards in the room and rushed forward to duel with Dooku, ordering Palpatine to flee.
Now, guarded by a lone Jedi, the Chancellor is vulnerable and Dooku ignites his blade and moves toward Anakin.
However, the Chancellor was intercepted by a third MagnaGuard as Anakin viciously attacked Dooku and rapidly drove him back.
The small barrage of items did nothing but enrage Anakin further, and he attacked Dooku with renewed fury.
Anakin pushed forward against the chair that had intercepted his attack, nearly driving his lightsaber through Dooku's skull.
However the attack had virtually no effect on Anakin, and he quickly re-engaged the now visibly shaken Count.
Before the Count could regain his feet, Anakin fell upon him with a series of overhand power blows, pressing him into the stairs.
Although Anakin holds Dooku down for a few seconds, Dooku manages to overpower him with Force lightning and a telekinetic shove.
As Anakin re-engaged Dooku, Kenobi quickly dealt with the remaining MagnaGuard before retrieving Palpatine.
Thwarted, Dooku pushed Anakin off the boarding ramp of his ship and fled, but not before remarking that Kenobi had proven himself a "worthy adversary".
Dooku congratulated Obi-Wan on his victory, but threw one last insult at Skywalker before the shuttle flew off.
Dooku has neither forgotten about nor taken the attempt on his life lightly, and tells Grievous the time to exact revenge against Ventress and Talzin had come.
Having harbored a grudge against Ventress and Talzin since their attempt on his life, Dooku monitored his former apprentice's movements and learned of her return to Dathomir.
Dooku orders the cyborg warmaster to lead a massive assault on Dathomir and exterminate the Nightsister witches before they continued to plot against him.
Count Dooku remains in the palace while Grievous marshaled a massive detachment of the Separatist Droid Army.
Mother Talzin uses a lock of Dooku's hair she had previously taken and stashed away in secret; using it to create a magical voodoo figurine likeness of Dooku.
Blisters and painful burns appeared on Dooku's face as he realized that Talzin was using her Magic on him.
Through tortured gasps, Dooku orders Grievous to find Mother Talzin and destroy her before she had a chance to kill him.
Whilst cutting down the attacking zombies, Grievous acknowledges his new orders before ending the transmission with Dooku.
She insisted that he call off his troops or face a painful death, but the Sith Lord remained defiant in the face of the Nightsister's magick.
Nevertheless, Grievous knocked over the cauldron that had been maintaining her voodoo magic, subsequently ending Dooku's torture.
Dooku feared that with the Nightsisters dead, Savage would be a danger to him and his master whose powers he felt were growing.
King Sanjay Rash watches the darkened city of Iziz, lit only by the burning wreckage of the power station and he contacts Count Dooku desperate for assistance.
King Rash tells Dooku that he saw that the rebels had grown bold with the attack on the power generator, and believed that his predecessor was behind the rebels' activities.
Dooku tells Rash he thought he could trust him to rule Onderon and find this report most disappointing.
In response to these attacks, Rash asked Dooku for reinforcements, though disappointed the Sith Lord agrees to grant the king's request for reinforcements.
Dooku dispatched Super tactical droid general, Kalani to take command of the Separatist forces on Onderon.
At some point after this final skirmish, Dooku contacted Rash and Kalani with Rash quickly explaining what had happened and that they would need even more help to defeat the rebels.
Following the rebels victory over the droid gunships, Dooku ordered Kalani to withdraw what remained of the occupation force from the planet to Agamar, much to Rash's disapproval.
Dooku - via holo transmission - watched as Kalani unceremoniously raised a blaster and executed the king as he sat on his throne for his repeated failures.
Dooku questions his master on how to accomplish this and Sidious intends to entrap him to do their bidding once elevated.
In Padmé's bedroom, where Clovis recovers, the 2-1B surgical droid suddenly reveals itself a servant of Count Dooku and produces a holographic projector with the Count's hologram appearing.
Clovis tells Dooku that he is closing in on uncovering illegal collusion between the Banking Clan and the Confederacy leadership.
Clovis tells Dooku that the banks had allowed him to borrow credits and not pay any interests and the Count states that is correct.
Dooku tells Clovis that the released information will bring war to Scipio and the banks will fall so he offers to make some arrangement between himself and Rush.
Dooku tells Clovis that these are delicate matters as the Confederacy need funds just as the Republic does to pay for this war.
Dooku offered to pay the Confederacy's interest on their loans as well as supply Clovis details of the Muuns' secret accounts.
Dooku knows the location of the misappropriated funds, and can make them available to Clovis to help make his claim to the Senate before cutting off the holo-communication.
As Clovis settles into his new office atop the spire at the very crest of the Main Vault fortress and enjoys a majestic view of the Scipio mountains, he is startled by the sudden holographic appearance of Count Dooku.
Clovis thanks him for his assistance, but Dooku announces he wishes to collect the return on his "investment".
Finally Dooku tells Clovis that the Separatists will not pay the interest on their loans as promised.
Clovis protests, saying the banks will collapse without the payments, but Dooku tells him he must raise interest rates on the Republic's loans to keep the bank afloat.
Dooku tells Clovis he will raise interest and threatens that everything Rush had fought so hard for will be destroyed.
Dooku then accompanied the Confederate fleet and from the bridge of the command dreadnought, Count Dooku orders super tactical droid Kraken to begin the attack.
Dooku commandeered a fleet from the Confederate Navy and launched an invasion on Scipio as a ruse to make to make Clovis appear to be in alliance with the Separatists.
Padmé is brought to Clovis's office, where Dooku tells her that Clovis had assured him she would join their cause.
Padmé grabs a battle droid's blaster, and attempts to point it at Dooku, but he pushes the weapon with the Force.
The Sith Lord called upon the Force, using it to telekinetically aim Amidala's blaster at Bec Lawise who could only utter a few words of shock before Dooku forced Padmé to pull the trigger, killing Lawise.
Dooku declares the Confederacy in control of the banks that their debts are gone and any credit to the Republic is now gone.
Senator Amidala is saddened that Clovis' idealism was just a front with Rush insisting he had no choice and Dooku, before leaving, says everyone has their price.
Darth Tyranus informs Sidious that Clovis had finally played his part and appeared to have coordinated the entire takeover.
Lord Sidious states because of the treachery, the banks would be placed under the control of the Supreme Chancellor before ending the holocommunication.
After ending the transmission, Dooku boards his solar sailor before kicking a dead clone's helmet away and leaves Scipio.
Count Dooku, who had returned from his mission on Scipio, ordered Kraken to withdraw their forces but Kraken protested, saying that hundreds of droid forces had been left on the planet.
As the battle raged on in space, it soon became apparent that the Separatist fleet was outmatched and Dooku, having accomplished his objectives in framing Clovis for the Separatist invasion, dismissed Kraken's concerns and commanded that the fleet withdraw from the system with the tactical droid obeying.
The Head of State thereafter withdrew his naval forces from Scipio just as a Republic fleet arrived to mount a planetary invasion.
Still having a score to settle with Hondo Ohnaka for holding him captive in the past, Dooku dispatched General Grievous to Florrum where the general opens a holo-communication channel through which Count Dooku contacts Ohnaka.
A towering hologram of Dooku greets Hondo coldly, recalling their past together and the time Dooku was held hostage by the pirate.
In retaliation for his imprisonment during their first encounter, the Separatist leader had come to take over Florrum due to Ohanaka's treachery.
Via transmission, Dooku spoke directly to Ohnaka and said that the invasion was in retaliation for Ohnaka holding him for ransom some time before.
The Count declared that all of Hondo's property now belongs to the Separatist Alliance and plans to dismantle and melt Ohnaka's arsenal.
When a clone trooper killed a Jedi on Ringo Vinda, Admiral Trench noticed the odd behavior and reported the action to Count Dooku.
Dooku contacted by Trench via hologram and informs him of the deadly betrayal perpetrated by a clone trooper in the thick of battle.
Dooku received word from Admiral Trench of a malfunctioning clone trooper that killed their Jedi General during the battle at Ringo Vinda.
The Count attempts to dismiss it as a traitor in the Republic's fold, but Trench insists it is something beyond that as the trooper seemed to be in a trance-like state.
Knowing that this was a serious problem, he immediately reported the event to his master Darth Sidious.
Sidious asks Tyranus if he believes this is evidence of their secret programing and Dooku confirms he does.
Sidious orders Tyranus to seize the clone for examination, lest their carefully laid plans be exposed too early.
In the Separatist command center, Admiral Trench reports to Count Dooku that they have captured Tup.
After successfully kidnapping of the clone trooper "Tup," the Count applauded the Harch's success, Trench then tasked Kraken to personally escort the captured Clone to Dooku himself.
Under his identity of "Tyranus", Dooku was contacted by Kaminoan Prime Minister Lama Su and Chief Scientist Nala Se in a private chamber.
Nala Se insists that they terminate the clone and Tyranus agrees and orders the clone be terminated, however the inhibitor chip is to be sent to him immediately for analysis.
Lord Tyranus explains that the inhibitor chips must be kept secret from the Jedi — it was devised as a means of countering rogue Jedi and the only other person to know of this genetic modification is the late Master Sifo-Dyas, and this secret has gone to the grave with him.
Tyranus was later contacted again by Nala Se, and she informs the mysterious man that a renegade clone, ARC trooper CT-5555, has stolen the inhibitor chip sample.
Nala Se contacts Darth Tyranus, telling him that the renegade clone has stolen the inhibitor chip, but that he knows nothing about its purpose or function.
Tyranus is disturbed by these events, and questions whether the clone army will live up to the Kaminoans' design.
Tyranus is deeply concerned regarding this aberrant behavior among the clones but Nala Se assures him that Tup's malfunction was an aberration, and that Fives' subsequent divergent behavior is due to the Jedi instilling "creative thinking" in their troops.
The ARC trooper's interference caused Tyranus to doubt the clone army's reliability in the event of an intentional activation of Protocol 66, although Nala Se assured him that the preemptive execution was an anomaly as there is no compromise.
Tyranus orders Nala Se to find Fives immediately and warns her that the true purpose of the chip must not be discovered by the Jedi.
Following the death of the ARC trooper, Tyranus acknowledges that he has received the bio-chips from Nala Se and ends the communication and removes his hood.
Sidious tells his apprentice Tyranus to destroy all evidence and that soon no one will be able to stop their plan to execute Order 66.
At Dooku's estate on Serenno, the towering holographic form of Darth Sidious questions Lord Tyranus.
Tyranus was then informed by Sidious that the Jedi had learned of a secret that Dooku failed to hide.
Count Dooku coughs violently after Sidious ends the holographic transmission and released the Force choke.
Darth Tyranus arrives at the Pyke stronghold on Oba Diah, landing his solar sailor on the landing platform.
Tyranus arrived on Oba Diah with the intention of keeping the Jedi from discovering the truth behind Sifo-Dyas' demise.
Despite his mental state, Silman managed to tell Kenobi and Skywalker that someone wanted to impersonate Master Sifo-Dyas and had ordered the Pykes to kill them and before he can reveal anymore, he is strangled to death by the dark side of the Force, Tyranus has tied up the loose end.
In his classical fighting style, Dooku defends himself bringing the duel to the open landing platform.
Lom called Dooku by his Sith name, revealing to the Jedi the unsettling truth behind the mystery of the clone army.
During the duel, the Jedi learned that Dooku was in fact Sith Lord called Darth Tyranus, who selected Jango Fett as the clone template, and that the Sith were involved in the creation of the clone army.
Skywalker and Kenobi tried a Force push against Dooku, but the latter jumped, causing it to knock Lom and his men over.
Anakin leaps onto the freighter, propelled by a Force throw from Obi-Wan, in a last desperate attempt to stop Dooku.
During Yoda's journey to acquire immortality, he experienced an apparition, where the Clone Wars never occurred, and everyone Yoda knows is still part of the Jedi Order, including those who lost their lives and those who left/betrayed the Order due to circumstances connected to the war.
In the Temple courtyard, it is a beautiful day and many Jedi, young and old, gather and Yoda joins the Jedi seeing Obi-Wan in conversation with Qui-Gon and Master Dooku.
Yoda soon realizes that this is an illusion, since Jedi like Adi Gallia, Tiplar, and Qui-Gon Jinn are dead.
A shadow falls on the courtyard as the vision starts to disappear, returning Yoda to the Valley of Extinction.
Dooku ignites his lightsaber and lunges but Yoda offers no defense, knowing what he sees to be false.
Elsewhere, in his command ship, Count Dooku awakens from his meditation sensing that something is wrong.
Super Tactical droid Kraken informed Dooku that Darth Sidious was ordering him back to Coruscant right away.
In a burned out, industrial sector of Coruscant, Count Dooku's solar sailor sets down in a secret hangar.
Sidious tells Tyranus that he senses a great opportunity to strike a deadly blow against the Jedi Order.
Darth Sidious tells Tyranus that only the presence of someone significant to his apprentice would allow him to feel this ripple through time and space.
Both Tyranus and Lord Sidious felt that Yoda was on the Sith homeworld of Moraband for some unknown reason.
Sidious informed his apprentice that they would be exploiting Dooku's Force-bond with Yoda, which the two had established during their time together in the Jedi Order, to find out why Yoda had ventured to Moraband and to break his will.
Over a sacrificial altar basin, Sidious cut Dooku with a knife to draw his blood, dripping it into the water-filled basin.
Dooku then allowed Sidious to use his blood to create an illusion for Yoda due to him being his former master.
When Dooku expressed concern over Yoda sensing their presence, Sidious said he would come to Yoda with someone familiar as he dipped his face into the sacrificial altar.
In an enhanced illusion, the Jedi and clones arrive at the LiMerge Building, and encounter Dooku and Darth Sidious.
As they arrived, the clones, lead by Captain Rex, rushed at Dooku only to be hit with Sith lightning.
Walking sadly past the fallen clones, a dismayed Yoda witnessed Skywalker brutally decapitate Dooku using both blue and red blades.
After the illusion ceased, Sidious arose from the altar basin and informed Dooku that they had failed to break Yoda's will.
Star Wars: Clone Wars[]
Without turning, Dooku praises the stealthiness of the substitution, claiming his guide would be impressed if he had not just been killed, but told her he wasn't looking for a spy.
Ventress then jumped down into the arena, slaughtering the other gladiators under Dooku's watchful gaze.
Count Dooku tells Ventress that she fights and wears the trappings of the Sith but it can be imitated.
Angered, Ventress activates both her lightsabers and claimed that Dooku knew nothing of the dark side before charging him.
Ventress awakens in her large, elaborately-furnished penthouse, and as soon as she takes them up, Dooku suddenly appears and instantly attacks.
Asajj tries to strike Dooku, but the Sith Lord uses the Force to bring a portion of the statue behind him to block the strike.
Count Dooku was confident that she would quickly dispatch Skywalker; Sidious said that it did not matter either way.
On Ilum, R2-D2 managed to recover a recording of the chameleon droid's sensors and a hologram of Dooku appeared.
Count Dooku disarms Grievous stating he was holding the saber too lightly and notices it is a new lightsaber.
Dooku disarms Grievous and advises him that he can only maintain his edge if he has fear, surprise and intimidation on his side.
The Count also states if he is to succeed in combat against the Jedi he must have fear and intimidation.
Tyranus lectures that Grievous must break them before he engages them, only then would he ensure victory and have his trophy and Dooku levitates Grievous' lightsaber before him.
Count Dooku and Grievous turn as a hologram of Darth Sidious appears, commenting on Dooku's wise counsel.
Grievous reports that the Jedi numbers are thinly stretched across the Outer Rim in an effort to contain their attacks.
Revenge of the Sith[]
As the two Jedi made it to the General's quarters and attempted to free the "captive" Chancellor, Dooku arrived, flanked by two super battle droids.
Dooku walking to face Anakin and Obi-Wan and ordered the Jedi to surrender their weapons, so as not to "make a mess of things in front of the Chancellor."
Not long after they arrived at the top of the spire, the Sith Lord appeared before them and the two Jedi engaged him in a duel.
The Jedi charged at Dooku together, as Kenobi had originally planned three years earlier on Geonosis, with the Count retreating, on the defensive.
The two Jedi began the duel by utilizing basic attacks of the forms Ataru and Shien in an attempt to deceive Dooku.
At first, Dooku was able to easily counter their attacks with his mastery of Makashi, but was caught off guard when they switched to their more advanced and preferred forms of Soresu and Djem So.
During a standoff, Skywalker told Dooku that his powers had doubled since the last time they met and Dooku, confident that his plan was about to unfold, remarked that with "twice the pride, double the fall," certain that the Jedi would lose.
The saber skills of the two Jedi had dramatically improved during the intervening years; they, however, initially did not reveal this to the Count, using only basic sword techniques.
When Kenobi and Skywalker suddenly changed their saber styles mid-battle, and began to wear down the Sith Lord's defenses, Dooku, who had initially been toying with them, was caught off guard, but was able to readjust his tactics for a more serious confrontation.
Dooku, unable to combat both at once, Force pushed Kenobi out of the way so he could focus on Skywalker.
As Kenobi rejoined the duel, Dooku was able to gain the advantage when he used the Force to levitate Kenobi and kick Skywalker into a wall at the same time.
The Count then Force choked Kenobi and telekinetically hurled him across the room into the railing on the leftmost side of the balcony.
In order to ensure Kenobi could not rejoin the fight, Dooku then used the Force to cause various debris to fall right on top of Kenobi, leaving him unconscious and pinned down.
Sensing that Skywalker was holding back his anger and hate, Dooku taunted him, hoping to disrupt his concentration.
Seeking to exploit this, he then taunted Skywalker, attempting to apply the Sith Dun Möch technique with the hope of disrupting Skywalker's concentration.
However, this attempt backfired, further infuriating Skywalker rather than causing him self doubt or distracting him.
Anakin attacked Dooku with rage and hatred, raining down fast, heavy power attacks against his opponent.
Skywalker began to unleash all his fear, anger and hatred, beating away at Dooku's Makashi with his own Djem So mastery.
Anakin attacked Tyranus with his rage and hatred, throwing fast, heavy attacks against the Sith Lord.
Tyranus could barely deflect his opponent's blows, let alone fight back, and was even singed by his own blade at one point.
Dooku was barely able to lift his arms to defend against Skywalker's powerful strikes let alone fight back, and at one point was even singed by his own blade being forced onto his shoulder.
With his strength and aggressive lightsaber technique, Skywalker finally overpowered Dooku's defenses.
