Dooku informed his master that Order 66 might be revealed. Thus Sidious ordered Dooku to kidnap the clone and examine him. Dooku then ordered Trench to kidnap the clone. After the admiral succeeded in doing so, Dooku applauded him and ordered him to send the clone to him. Tyranus then asked for the inhibitor chip. Tyranus made it clear that only he and Sifo-Dyas knew about the chip's true purpose and that the Jedi must not learn this. Sometime later, Dooku was contacted by Sidious and was ordered by his master to once again recruit Senator Rush Clovis and name him the new head of the Banking Clan.
Dooku then contacted Clovis via the medical droid treating him. Dooku offered to pay the Confederacy's interest on their loans as well as supply Clovis details of the Muuns' secret accounts, in exchange for him becoming head of the Banking Clan. After Clovis took his position on Scipio , Dooku contacted him to congratulate on his appointment. Dooku then announced that he wished to collect on his "investment" or he will reveal the truth behind's Clovis's appointment.
He also threatened that the Confederacy would not pay back their loans. Thus Dooku forced Clovis to raise the Republic's interest rates to keep the bank afloat. Dooku then arrived at Scipio, accompanied by the Confederate fleet and ordered his super tactical droid, Commander Kraken , to begin the invasion. Soon after, Dooku arrived on the planet and went to Clovis's office. There, Dooku informed Amidala of the deal he made with Clovis.
Dooku ordered her arrest, but Separatist Congress Leader , Bec Lawise , said that their Senate would not approve of this. Dooku then forced Amidala to shoot Lawise.
Dooku was then informed by Sidious that the Republic fleet would be arriving shortly. Soon after, Republic ships led by Anakin Skywalker began attacking Kraken's fleet. Arriving onboard Kraken's flagship, Dooku ordered Kraken to withdraw their forces from Scipio.
Kraken protested and claimed that there were droid forces still on the planet. Dooku dismissed Kraken's concerns and ordered the droid to withdraw. Kraken obeyed and retreated along with the Confederate fleet, abandoning the droid forces on the planet. Dooku was chastened by Sidious, who warned his apprentice to beware the price of failure for a Sith. Dooku was told about the Jedi's renewed investigation into Sifo-Dyas and his death, choking Dooku as a price for his clumsiness.
Sidious sent Dooku to Oba Diah to make sure the Jedi did not learn the truth about the Clone Army and their eventual fates. When Dooku arrived on the planet, he went towards the former chancellor Finis Valorum 's aid, Silman , and killed him before the Jedi sent to Oba Diah—Skywalker and Kenobi—could unravel the mystery. As the Pykes spoketo the Sith, they unknowingly revealed to the Jedi that Dooku and the identity of "Tyranus" were the same person.
Dooku quickly attempted to make his escape, via a Coruscant Freighter docked in the Oba Diah port, but Obi-Wan pushed Anakin toward Dooku, and the two fought on the vessel.
Nevertheless, Dooku defeated Skywalker and made his escape, having succeeded in stopping the Jedi from learning the truth of the Clone Army. However, the news that Tyranus—a man they knew had hired Jango Fett—was actually Dooku disturbed the Jedi, as it showcased that their enemy had made them an army.
Sidious attacked Yoda through the Force, utilizing the bond that once existed between Dooku and his old Master. Dooku was then informed by Kraken that Lord Sidious demanded his presence on Coruscant. Arriving on Coruscant in the Works, he was greeted by Sidious, who then led him to the tower's ceremonial chamber. Both he and Lord Sidious felt that Yoda was on the Sith homeworld of Moraband for some unknown reason.
Dooku then allowed Sidious to use his blood to create an illusion for Yoda due to him being his former master with both using their Sith lightning. In the ritual, Dooku and Sidious were confronted by Yoda, Anakin Skywalker , Captain Rex, and a squad of clone troopers who were tasked with eliminating the Sith.
Dooku attacked the clones with Force lightning and dueled with Skywalker and was eventually killed by him. At the end of the ritual, they had failed in breaking Yoda and knew they needed more time to defeat him and the Jedi.
Grievous fought with Obi-Wan Kenobi while attempting to secure a large kyber crystal on Utapau. Towards the end of the Clone Wars, Count Dooku and General Grievous took interest in a massive kyber crystal on the neutral planet of Utapau.
They hired several Sugi mercenaries led by Endente and Amani outcasts to excavate the crystal and to guard it respectively. However, her death attracted the attention of Master Kenobi and the Jedi Knight Skywalker, who traveled to Utapau to investigate. Investigating Tu-Anh's death and the presence of MagnaGuards, Kenobi and Skywalker traveled to the plains of Utapau to investigate a group of Amani outcasts.
While traveling through Utapau's wilderness, the two Jedi were captured by several Sugi mercenaries who brought them to Endente, who informed them about the Confederacy's interest in the kyber crystal. When the Jedi offered to buy the crystal for twice the amount, Endente informed Dooku via hologram about the Jedi and demanded more compensation to offset the Jedi offer. Dooku ordered him to kill the Jedi and promised that he would send Grievous to "give him what he deserved.
The actions of the Jedi, Kenobi and Skywalker, prevented Dooku from gaining posession of the kyber crystal. As Endente and his Sugi comrades prepared for a counter-assault to recover the kyber crystal, they were contacted by Dooku who informed him that Grievous was coming to meet them on the plains of Utapau.
Fearful of reporting his failure to the Sith, Endente told Dooku to send Grievous to meet them at Pau City instead on the pretext that the Amani could no longer be relied upon to guard the crystal. Despite their efforts, Endente and his forces failed to recover the crystal from the Jedi, who made their way to Pau City's spaceport.
Grievous eventually learned of Endente's failure and executed the Sugi mercenary. After a struggle, Grievous, with the help of Governor Blom, managed to recover the crystal from the Jedi and loaded it onto his shuttle. The Jedi followed him aboard, but Grievous managed to capture Kenobi. Following Kenobi's capture, Grievous gave a report to Dooku, who ordered him to execute Master Kenobi and to deliver the crystal urgently to Serenno; stressing that he would tolerate no failure.
Despite Grievous's efforts, the two Jedi managed to destroy the crystal and Grievous's fleet. Grievous alone escaped to report the failure to his master. During the waning days of the Clone Wars, Count Dooku commanded an assault on the planet Mahranee , which led to the genocide of the Mahran species.
In addition, Dooku also issued orders that all Mahran be killed on sight. Dooku's assault was witnessed by the Jedi Council on Coruscant, who at the suggestion of Master Obi-Wan hatched an unusual plan partnering maverick Jedi Master Quinlan Vos with the Nightsister bounty hunter and Dooku's former apprentice Asajj Ventress.
After partnering with Ventress as a bounty hunter, Vos eventually revealed his true identity. Seeking revenge against Dooku for his actions against her and her people, Ventress agreed to help Vos by training him in the ways of the dark side.
After Vos completed his training, Ventress received word from the Separatist contact Sumdin that Dooku was going to visit Raxus Secundus , where he was due to receive the Raxian Humanitarian Award for his services to the Confederacy. For that trip, Dooku was accompanied by his military commander General Grievous. Before receiving the award, Dooku gave a patriotic speech to a large crowd defending the Separatist cause and attacking the Republic and the Jedi. During the public banquet, Asajj took the opportunity to meet up with Dooku and challenge him to a duel at the overlook nearby.
Dooku agreed but secretly contacted Grievous for reinforcements. However, Vos anticipated this and managed to lock Grievous in a room. Together, Ventress and Vos confronted Dooku at the overlook. After exchanging pleasantries over a glass of Alderaanian wine , Dooku engaged the assassins in a lightsaber duel. Using his mastery of the dark side, Dooku overpowered the two assassins and used the Force to hurl them against some nearby pillars.
Despite Vos's best efforts, he was unable to best Dooku and was taken captive by the Sith Lord. Ventress managed to escape following a scuffle with Grievous but was unable to rescue her lover Vos. Dooku then struck Vos unconscious with Force lightning and spirited his Jedi captive away to his palace on Serenno.
Vos was captured and taken to Dooku's castle on Serenno, where the Jedi was turned to the dark side of the Force. Using his psychometric abilities, Vos realized that Dooku was telling the truth.
Shortly later, Ventress and Boba Fett's bounty hunter syndicate launched a mission to rescue Vos. However, they were forced to flee empty-handed after Vos, who had given in to the dark side, attacked Ventress. Following the attack, Vos became Dooku's new Sith apprentice. Despite turning to the dark side, Vos secretly planned to force Dooku to lead him to his master, Darth Sidious, and then kill the two Sith Lords.
Dooku assisted his master in interrogating his former apprentice Maul about his Shadow Collective at the Spire on Stygeon Prime. However, Maul then made his escape with his Mandalorian super commandos to Zanbar. Dooku then contacted Grievous after Maul's forces retreated. Dooku hoped this attack would draw Talzin out. Dooku, accompanied by a pair of MagnaGuards, then went to Ord Mantell to capture Maul and level the city. Dooku was then confronted by Brother Viscus and the Nightbrothers.
Dooku was easily able to defeat the Viscus and his men. However, Dooku was then surrounded by Maul's forces before he had the chance to kill the defeated Viscus. Dooku was offered a deal by Maul; to abandon Lord Sidious and serve Maul. Dooku refused, knowing that Sidious was more powerful than they realized. Maul told him that together with Talzin, they would be Sidious's undoing. Dooku then spoke with Talzin, warning that betraying Sidious would be a folly.
Talzin told him that Sidious was ready to replace him with a new apprentice. She then revealed to Dooku how Sidious came to her promising to make her his right hand but betrayed her when he took Maul. She also revealed that Maul was her son.
When the Republic forces boarded their ship, Dooku decided to assist Maul in killing the Jedi, but not before secretly freeing Grievous. Dooku then killed Tiplee and then escaped with Maul and Commanders Saxon and Kast aboard a gauntlet fighter.
Dooku was then taken to Dathomir by Maul. There, he was taken to a chamber in the Nightbrother village to have his life-force taken from him to allow Talzin to regain her form. Dooku was then possessed by Talzin when Grievous and Sidious arrived.
However, she was no match against Sidious's skill while inside Dooku's body. Dooku was freed when Talzin became whole. He then assisted his master in fighting Talzin until Grievous killed her. Despite Maul's escape, Sidious assured Dooku that their future was certain. Dooku killed Ventress and tried to use her death to push Vos fully to the dark side.
Following Talzin's death, [90] Dooku and his new right-hand man, Quinlan Vos, launched a renewed military campaign against the Republic. Vos quickly gained the moniker " Admiral Enigma" among the Republic media. With the help of Ventress, Kenobi and his former apprentice Anakin Skywalker infiltrated Dooku's Providence -class Dreadnought and made their way to the bridge , hoping to encounter "Admiral Enigma.
However, Vos and Dooku had anticipated the rescue and arranged for Vos to appear in an emaciated state. While Ventress sensed that Vos had turned to the dark side, his Jedi colleagues eagerly welcomed Vos home.
Using his high-placed position within the Jedi hierarchy, Vos leaked intelligence on two Republic operations to Dooku. This allowed the Separatists to sabotage an asteroid supplies warehouse and to evacuate a listening post on Vanqor prior to a Republic attack. After discerning that Vos had turned to the dark side, the Jedi Council sent Vos on a mission to kill Dooku.
With the help of Ventress, Vos and the Jedi learned that Dooku's dreadnought was last sighted above the crystal-covered planet of Christophsis. Vos managed to infiltrate Dooku's dreadnought and engaged the Sith Lord in a lightsaber duel. Despite besting Dooku, Vos refused to kill him and instead demanded that Dooku lead him to Darth Sidious. Unknown to both Dooku and Vos, they had been tailed by Kenobi and Skywalker. The two Jedi Knights promptly arrested Dooku and his apprentice and transported them to the Venator -class Star Destroyer Vigilance as prisoners.
While being marched to the Vigilance's brig, Vos managed to free Dooku, who in turned freed Vos. Ventress attempted to fly them back to Dooku's dreadnought but they were shot down by the Vigilance and crash-landed on Christophsis. Ventress's sacrifice undermined Dooku's plans for Vos, who reclaimed his status as a Jedi.
Dooku and his fellow travelers survived the crash but the Count sustained a serious injury since he had not been properly strapped in. After navigating through Christophsis's crystal-covered landscape, they managed to reach a local Separatist base that was built into a giant crystal tower.
Upon arriving, Dooku was informed that Darth Sidious was seeking an audience with him. During a brief hologram conversation, Dooku requested help from his master to get offworld. Shortly later, Kenobi and Skywalker launched a full-scale assault on the Separatist base. Together, Dooku and his opponents made their way into an outlying crystal sanctum.
On the way, Dooku was struck by a blaster blast and was knocked unconscious. While Ventress wanted to let him die, Vos insisted on keeping him alive. While Vos assisted the battle droids in the defense of the base, Ventress moved Dooku into the crystal sanctum.
After stirring, Dooku taunted Ventress by deriding her as a "grant" and claiming that Vos had much potential as a Sith Lord. Ventress responded that Vos had "bigger plans" for Dooku. When Vos entered the sanctum, Ventress confronted him about his decision to join Dooku and the dark side. While Ventress and Vos were preoccupied, Dooku took the opportunity to attack his former pupils with Force lightning.
He wanted to kill Vos, but ended up striking Ventress, who pushed Vos out of the way. Though Quinlan managed to stop Dooku, Ventress was mortally wounded.
Dooku then attempted to goad Vos into killing him, but realizing that the act of murder led to the dark side, Vos refused and reaffirmed his Jedi identity. While Vos comforted his dying lover, Dooku took the opportunity to rendezvous with Sidious's starship and fled off-world.
Despite failing to kill Dooku, Vos was pardoned by the Jedi Council after he rejected the dark side and continued serving the Jedi war effort. However, Dooku was unaware that Sidious's true intentions were for Anakin to kill him and replace him as Sidious's apprentice. When Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi made their way to the bridge where the Chancellor was being held in an attempt to rescue him, Dooku arrived and confronted the two Jedi, flanked by two super battle droids.
He engaged them in a brief, but fierce lightsaber duel. During the duel, Dooku defeated Kenobi, who was incapacitated and knocked unconscious when the Count used the Force to pin Kenobi to the ground with a metal balcony. He then took the opportunity to mock and goad Skywalker, saying that the young Jedi knight had great fear, hate and anger in him, but was refusing to use them. However, Dooku was soon overpowered by an angered Skywalker, who, with one slash of his lightsaber, severed both the Count's hands at the wrists.
Skywalker then caught Dooku's lightsaber out of the air and crossed it with his own blade at the Count's throat. Palpatine praised Anakin, but then betrayed Dooku by telling Anakin to kill him. Although Dooku was Horrified and in disbelief by the Chancellor's and his own master's order, though he remained silent. Skywalker was initially hesitant to kill Dooku because killing an unarmed prisoner was not the Jedi way. However, when Palpatine ordered Skywalker to kill him, he drew the two lightsabers together, decapitating the leader of the Confederacy, much to his own reluctance [14].
Grievous was confident in his combat skills, having learned the Jedi art of lightsaber combat from the late Count Dooku. After escaping from the Invisible Hand to Utapau to meet with the Separatist Council , Grievous reported Dooku's death to Sidious, who dismissed his apprentice's death as a necessary loss, promising the General that he would have a new apprentice soon.
Not long after, Skywalker replaced Dooku at Sidious's side after he fell to the dark side and became Darth Vader. Sidious then issued the destruction of the Jedi Order and the Separatists. During the Siege of Mandalore , Dooku's Sith predecessor Maul confessed to his followers that he had originally viewed the Count as nothing more than an old fool. Following the end of the Clone Wars, the newly-created Security Bureau of the Galactic Empire conducted loyalty purges, during which much propaganda material featuring Dooku was destroyed.
However, rare specimens of Ansibella Dellu 's work-in-progress poster survived. Speculation began to circulate after the war's end that Dooku had in fact never left the Jedi Order despite their claims to the contrary. This rumor bolstered the idea that the Jedi had been traitors to the Republic since before the start of the war but some, amongst them Governor Tarkin, remained skeptical.
In later years, Sidious considered Dooku a proton torpedo , as he served his purpose and then was gone, assuring Vader that he had him, a superior candidate, in mind. In the years following the fall of the Galactic Empire, Jedi Master Luke Skywalker traveled the galaxy to rediscover the history of the Jedi Order that had been suppressed by the Empire.
During his self-imposed exile on Ahch-To , Skywalker wrote a book he titled The Secrets of the Jedi , which chronicled the information he had learnt on his travels. In the book, Skywalker included an illustration depicting Dooku along with information pertaining to the Sith Lord. Skywalker wrote about Dooku's reasoning for leaving the Jedi Order as well as his instrumental role in Sidious's conspiracy. Skywalker described Dooku's death at the hands of his father as an execution in cold blood.
In order to disguise his Sith identity, the Count usually goes by Dooku. Jeremy Jeremy 1. In exactly the same way, it could be noted, as Darth Sidious publicly went by the names of Senator Palpatine, then Chancellor Palpatine and finally Emperor Palpatine. Kind of ruins the plausible deniability for you if your henchman standing next to you is called "Darth Vader". This gives precedence that Palpatine didn't announce him publicly as Darth Vader.
At that time, the character's actual first name was "Darth" and Obi-Wan calling him that was intended to reflect that they had previously been on a first-name basis. Neat bit of trivia there, though. TheAI - that is incorrect - when she first encounters Vader on the Tantive IV blockade runner she says: "Darth Vader -- only you could be so bold" Tarkin calls him Lord - "Lord Vader will provide us with the location of the Rebel fortress by the time this battle station is operational.
We will then crush the Rebellion in one swift stroke" — NKCampbell. Show 2 more comments. Wad Cheber Wad Cheber 65k 58 58 gold badges silver badges bronze badges. Worth that the scene with Obi-Wan and Yoda from the script didn't actually make it into the movie. And vynsane also mentions in another answer that in the filmed version of the scene with Jango, he said he was recruited by "a man called Tyranus", without the "Darth".
Which makes sense. The Jedi were already pretty stupid to just accept the idea of the Clone Army after the Senate's approval without further investigation. If they'd known explicitly that the order was placed by a Sith, the Jedi stupidity levels required to make the plot still work would multiply exponentially.
Add a comment. There is no question of this. Sam Sam 91 1 1 silver badge 1 1 bronze badge. Count Dooku's Sith name was Darth Tyranus. Count Dooku : The Force is with us, my Master. Darth Sidious : Welcome home, Lord Tyranus. This is simply because Darth Tyranus goes by Count Dooku when surrounded by separatists because they don't known he is Sith. Community Bot 1. RedCaio RedCaio Just a spelling note, it's written "Tyranus" rather than "Tyrannus", even though the name is obviously inspired by words like "tyranny" or "tyrannical" or perhaps Lucas was inspired by the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex?
Thanks Hypnosifl - edited the post to correct the spelling. You actually admire the man. Mikasa Mikasa 7, 4 4 gold badges 34 34 silver badges 84 84 bronze badges.
To the best of my knowledge, Dooku was never a senator. Are you sure she wasn't referring to Palpatine, who was the leader of the Senate? Also, the leaders of the Trade Federation a prominent member of the CIS worked with Darth Sidious in Episode I -- so they probably didn't care too much about being involved with the Sith.
I specifically watched the episode, you can double-check it: youtube. It may just be lazy or inconsitent writing, but that's what she said word-for-word. Also, I mentioned that "many" not "all" members of the Confederacy would have been uncomfortable with working with the Sith. In a different episode- can't remember which though , someone mentions that one of the members of the Trade Federation was betrayed by Sidious and was not a fan of him. I believe she meant that Dooku was leader of the Confederate, rather than the republic senate, as in the same episode we see a hologramatic version of Dooku hosting a vote on whether or not to try and open peace negotiations with the Republic.
He says that "a vocal vote is needed", and eventually concludes that "democracy wins", thus they will go ahead with their plans to open negotiations. Ah, yes, this is clearer now -- Dooku appears to be the leader of the Confederate Senate. The Sith claimed to be more powerful than any Jedi, but Yoda easily absorbed his Force lightning attack. With that, the two fought a furious lightsaber duel, which ended with Dooku making a hasty exit.
The former Jedi fled the system and landed in an unmarked dwelling on Coruscant , greeted by the evil Darth Sidious. Dooku remained the face of the Separatist army, bringing war to planets across the galaxy.
He also sought to undermine the Republic with a steady stream of propaganda sent over the information network known as the HoloNet , an effort that was opposed by Republic officers such as Wilhuff Tarkin. During this time, Dooku took on an apprentice named Asajj Ventress. He trained her in the ways of the dark side and used her as an assassin; when Sidious deemed her value spent, Dooku abandoned her. Ventress, though, wanted revenge.
This was not to be, as the Sith Lord was too strong with the dark side and survived the attack. While Dooku was the leader of the Separatist movement, it was later revealed that his involvement in the origins of the Clone War stretched much deeper. They learned that the Pykes were hired by a man named Tyranus to kill the Jedi, but that the crime family had secretly kept his companion, Silman , alive.
Obi-Wan and Anakin began to speak to the captive, but he was quickly Force choked by an unseen attacker: Count Dooku had arrived, sent by Darth Sidious to tie up all loose ends to the death of Sifo-Dyas.

Dooku changed it a bit, don't know why Registered: Jun 14,
