A Dooku show could do the same for the beginning of the prequels, giving new context and depth to one of the most controversial chapters in Star Wars history. The Clone Wars finale was great because it overlapped with Revenge of the Sith, giving us another point of view on those events. The storytelling possibilities are even more exhilarating. The potential for character cameos is endless, from Qui-Gon Jinn and Mace Windu to Darth Maul and General Grievous. What was life like before the prequels and before Palpatine's plan began clicking into place? Although he was a bit of a demagogue and delved deeply in philosophy, he was extremely knowledgeable in the ways of the force. Lucasfilmīeyond the character himself, a Dooku Disney+ spinoff would give us a look at a chapter of Star Wars history we've never seen before (at least, not in a movie). Count Dooku was one of the greatest Jedi/Sith in the Galaxy. What was it like being trained by Yoda? How did he fall to the Dark side? How did he come up with that awesome Sith name Darth Tyrannus?ĭooku fights General Grievous in the 'Clone Wars' cartoon. Young Dooku could explore the character's past and answer some of our biggest questions about him. In other words, a prequel to the prequels. I'm saying we need a young Dooku prequel. I'm not saying we should recast Dooku as he was in the prequels (though Christopher Plummer might be up for the job). So five year's after the actor's death, it's time to consider Dooku's return to the Star Wars galaxy. The look in Christopher Lee's eyes in that moment - a mix of realization, fear, and resignation all at once - might be the best acting in the entire Skywalker Saga.īut The Star Wars prequels underutilized Count Dooku, and sadly, Christopher Lee is longer with us today. In Revenge of the Sith, he's betrayed by his master, who orders Anakin to kill Count Dooku. Lucasfilmĭooku becomes the apprentice to Darth Sidious but never goes full-evil, even revealing to Obi-Wan that a secret Sith is manipulating the Senate in Attack of the Clones. Count Dooku kicking butt, moments before his death.
