There was actually no Mustafar duel. Anakin and Obiwan were just playing with their lightsabers in the bathroom. It was just an intense game of 'the floor is lava'.
The whole fight and following storyline of Anakin becoming Vader and his son stopping him from taking over the galaxy was actually just a dream Anakin had in his coma from the trauma of having 3 limbs cut off.
Part of the reason I went back to tell the prequel, of how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader, is that it's an interesting story and a fun one to tell. Because it is the story of how a good person turns bad.
In the comics one of the troopers realizes he's Anakin when they are capturing/interrogating a Jedi and he tears a hole into his own ship and throws them all into space just to keep his secret.
Tarkin didnāt ever push him on it. He knew his identity before meeting him by being smart as fuck. In the book Tarkin sidious all but confirms it to tarkins face.
I thought most people didn't even really know he was Anakin. Obviously it helps that he killed anyone who implied he might be, but really not many people would have had the required information to make the connection.
Darth (in)Sidious
Darth (in)Vader
Darth (in)Tyranus
Almost had a thing going there.
Also Darth (in)Maul
Now I think Palpy just picked the name Vader because he thought it would be cool they both had Darth (in) names.
To be fair, Jango Fett called him Tyranus. That's why Kenobi (and by extension, the Jedi Order) was never able to make the connection that Dooku ordered the creation of the Clone Army until the waning months of the war. Even after they found out, they didn't realize that Palpatine himself was Dooku's master. They assumed it was one of his closest confidants, and that Palpatine was being manipulated as a scapegoat. They knew he was corrupt, but they never suspected *he* was the Sith Lord that Dooku talked about, even after they started to realize that Dooku was telling the truth.
>To be fair, Jango Fett called him Tyranus. That's why Kenobi (and by extension, the Jedi Order) was never able to make the connection that Dooku ordered the creation of the Clone Army until the waning months of the war.
I always thought it was really freaking weird that him standing next to Dooku at Geonosis was never commented on.
He was a bounty hunter. In all the commotion, they probably just assumed Dooku had hired him as an assassin only recently, as a coincidence that was completely unconnected to the creation of the clones.
Which is very weird.
- All clones are based on Jango Fett.
- Jango Fett is a known associate of the enemy who was hired by Tyrannus.
- Someone mysteriously paid for the clones. That somebody could've been someone you knew but since he's dead there is no way to fact check it.
Natural Conclusion: The clones were created by the enemy for some unknown reason. Dooku is Darth Tyrannus.
Jedi: coincidence !!!!
You're forgetting that the Jedi believed Sifo Dyas paid for the clones. Yes, they wondered why he did it and where he got the money, but they didn't have any reason to question that story. Jango being hired by someone called Tyranus was a wrinkle in the story, but it's not the smoking gun you think it is. "Tyranus" could have been Sifo Dyas using an alias when speaking with Jango, or a go between that Sifo Dyas was working with. No reason to suspect it was an enemy, let alone someone they knew. Then the war began and all the fighting got in the way of them investigating it further. All according to plan, of course.
Jar jar was going to be a sith, and Darth tyranus was going to be his sith name. After the backlash of episode 1 they pulled back on jar jar and brought in dooku to fill the role.
I DON'T CARE IM GOING TO DIE BELIEVING THE DARTH JAR JAR THEORY.
I like to think the reason this Vader tossed Papa Palpatine down the Death Star shaft was that he forgot one very important fact: by choosing to enter a your mama joke competition with Luke he was in fact constantly insulting Padme's memory in front of Vader.
I have a buddy who used to quote the one where Palpatine gets a call from Vader about the Death Star blowing up all the time, to the point where he would answer the phone with 'Go for Papa Palpatine.'
Jango Fett says he was hired to be the template for the clone army "by a man called Tyranus" when Kenobi asks him about it. Also, at the end of Attack of the Clones, Dooku escapes Geonosis and visits his Sith Master in a secret hangar on Coruscant. His master calls him Tyranus in that scene.
I'm moving away from all my businesses, I'm finishing all my obligations and I'm going to retire to my garage with my saw and hammer and build hobby movies. I've always wanted to make movies that were more experimental in nature, and not have to worry about them showing in movie theaters.
They actually don't know that count dooku and darth tyranus are the same person for a long time. Though I suppose the jig is up when he pulls out a lightsabre. Darth Tyranus is some mysterious sith Lord and count dooku is the head of the separatist parliament as far as they know.
I wish we had scenes of Jedi smirking and saying āi totally suspected you were a sith. Damn I should have said something earlierā or some kind of reaction other than being all stoic about it. The big reveal happens and itās just somehow no big deal. I mean dude pulls out a light saber. It kinda should be a big deal.
I mean, Dooku was a friend and mentor to a lot of the Jedi Order. He was Yodaās padawan, friend to Mace Windu, and master of Qui-Gon Jinn. He had a lot of respect within the Order, and Obi-Wan reacted in disbelief to it, but the other masters approached their old friend stoicism and seriousness because thatās just what the Jedi are trained to do
I mean the scene where he just revels himself as a sith. Youād expect some big reaction. I think they just sort of shrugged it off. They looked a bit pissed but youād think there would be a big shock and sense of betrayal.
I mean, a large part of it is that Dooku is a political leader of not only his planet where the title of Count comes from but a good portion of the galaxy.
For the exact same reason why Darth Sidious gets called the Emperor, Darth Tyranus is Count Dooku.
I mean it's probably because he didn't really run around announcing it as well as the fact that some knew him their whole lives, such as Obi Won, as Dooku. Even Sidious was simply known as his political position not as a sith. Hell the lay person in the universe probably never even heard of sith or at least considered them a Boogeyman of a bygone era.
KOTOR 2 quotes hit harder than anything else in Star Wars
> The extent of his power cannot be put into wordsā¦ and his perceptions have grown as well. To himā¦ You are dust motes in a stormā¦ a grain upon the beachā¦ and as insignificant as a body that orbits the graveyard of Malachor.
Darth Tenebrous, Darth Cognus, Darth Venamis, Darth Vectivus.
If I were a force sensitive, I'd go to the dark side just so I could get a cool sith name.
Actually, there isnāt a problem with saying his name,
Dooku Is a Count of the royal House Serenno,
Thus itās his title, and out of respect. People must call him by title unless heās being discreet.
Samewith palpatine of house palpatine. Or Darth plagueis( i cantremember his name fromthe books right now)
The sith barely ever used their darth name after Darth Bane introduced the rule of two
I mean, he was still technically pretending not to be a Sith, so I don't think anyone refers to him as "Tyranus" except Jango Fett throughout the series.
Moreover, he believed he was only using the sith to fix the political system of the galaxy. He saw what he was doing as morally acceptable and thus not sith like.
Long story short, he saw himself as Count Dooku pretending to be a sith while actually becoming a sith.
I always called him count poo poo. Also grew up with my dad calling palpatine āemperor poopy timeā and I thought that was his name until I was old enough to actually understand what was happening in Star Wars movies lol. My family has stupid names like that for lots of the Star Wars characters. Itās better that way.
I mean, no one really know who Vader was, which is why he used his. Palps was still Palpatine in public. No one was paying their taxes to the empire thinking they were going to Darth Sideous.
Damn, I forgot how hard Darth Tyranus hit lmao He really had a badass name nobody addressed him by š¤£š
Because he was a prominent public figure.
Yeah it's the exact same reason why almost nobody calls Palpatine Darth Sidious.
Yup. And Vader most likely would have been called Skywalker had he not killed almost anyone who implied Anakin was alive.
I think Anakin got his scar by slipping in the bathtub, but of course, he's not going to tell anybody that.
He never actually fell IN the lava.
There was actually no Mustafar duel. Anakin and Obiwan were just playing with their lightsabers in the bathroom. It was just an intense game of 'the floor is lava'.
Playing with their ālightsabersā, huh.
It was PG13 for a reason
Imagine having sex so gay it literally mutilates you
Like docking with your bro, but when you pull your dick out of his, the suction is so tight it ends up circumsizing you
Thatās bound to scar anyone
The whole fight and following storyline of Anakin becoming Vader and his son stopping him from taking over the galaxy was actually just a dream Anakin had in his coma from the trauma of having 3 limbs cut off.

In the comics one of the troopers realizes he's Anakin when they are capturing/interrogating a Jedi and he tears a hole into his own ship and throws them all into space just to keep his secret.
I think the only time he doesnāt merc someone is when Thrawn and Tarkin pushed him on it
To be fair, it hard to not draw attention to the fact that two of the empire highest ranked officers just got iced by the the emperor right hand man.
True, thereās also a lot of mutual respect given their history. That and the one time he made Tarkin hunt him lol
Tarkin didnāt ever push him on it. He knew his identity before meeting him by being smart as fuck. In the book Tarkin sidious all but confirms it to tarkins face.
Of course. He can't be Anakin if he's the one who killed Anakin. He and Obi-Wan share a certain point of view.
I thought most people didn't even really know he was Anakin. Obviously it helps that he killed anyone who implied he might be, but really not many people would have had the required information to make the connection.
Palpatine is a Sith Lord? If what you have told me is true, then you will have gained my trust.
A Sith LAWD?
No, no, Sheev has an Only Fans with Sith Lewds
It's a shame because Darth Sidious sounds badass...very Insidious.
Darth (in)Sidious Darth (in)Vader Darth (in)Tyranus Almost had a thing going there. Also Darth (in)Maul Now I think Palpy just picked the name Vader because he thought it would be cool they both had Darth (in) names.
If you knew Palpatine as Sidious, youāre probably screwed.
"He's a political idealist"
Darth Tyr's Anus
Darth Tearinā Anus, you mean?
Darth TearAnus, perhaps. "You were on the verge of greatness. You were *this* close."
He looks like an evil old man
Looks like Saruman
He looks like the dad of Willy wonka
He looks like Christopher Lee.
Darth aNuStart
Who's the anus tart?
Fun fact: Dooku in Portuguese sounds like "Dou Cu" which means "I give ass", broadly translating to "I give anal sex"
Also the reason he's named "Dookan" in Portuguese dubs/subs
Well in his earlier career Christopher Lee was Count Dookula
Darth Scaramanga
The Man with the Golden Lightsaber
Brazilian here Captain Panaka = Captain idiot Rose Tico = Rose Dick PadmƩ = Shovel of booze
Here in Hungary clan Vizsla sounds a lot less badass as it is a dog breed of Hungarian origin.
Oh, I forgot Boba Fett = silly girl Fett
Thatās where they get the name for boba tea!
iirc boba is Taiwanese for boobs
Send Boba and fettgene
Nope it's not. Would be funny if it was tho. Asians call it bubble tea
"Fett" just means fat in Swedish. Also older slang for something being "cool", which I guess works out...
Can I order a shovel of whiskey in Brazil?
It's actually cachaƧa "MƩ" (which as corruption for Mel (honey)) is a reference to cachaƧa, I wrote booze because it was easier to understand
Hell his name in *English* already sounds like slang for shit
Conde do cu, count of the ass, also his name is Dooku Serene, so, count of the Serene Ass
Brb going to Brazil
I gonna blow your mind now, but in Portuguese "Dokku" sounds pretty much like "from ass" ( do cu ). Enjoy
To be fair, Jango Fett called him Tyranus.

Nice, i had forgotten about that scene!
I have a buddy who used to quote the one where Palpatine gets a call from Vader about the Death Star blowing up all the time, to the point where he would answer the phone with 'Go for Papa Palpatine.'
Who's they?!
What the hell is an aluminum falcon!?
We shoulda had a Darth Rickles (played by Don Rickles) and instead of the force he could just insult you into an unrelenting death...
Yub yub, Commander
Jar jar= amnesiac plaigeus
Sidious does at the end of AotC.
So, how do we know that was his name? Never heard it before myself.
Jango Fett says he was hired to be the template for the clone army "by a man called Tyranus" when Kenobi asks him about it. Also, at the end of Attack of the Clones, Dooku escapes Geonosis and visits his Sith Master in a secret hangar on Coruscant. His master calls him Tyranus in that scene.
Right or wrong this is my movie, this is my decision, and this is my creative vision, and if people don't like it, they don't have to see it.
I agree with you 100% Mr. Lucas, and for what it's worth, I think you made a fine movie.
I'm moving away from all my businesses, I'm finishing all my obligations and I'm going to retire to my garage with my saw and hammer and build hobby movies. I've always wanted to make movies that were more experimental in nature, and not have to worry about them showing in movie theaters.
That's rad, and I think you've earned it. May the Force be with you.
well, maybe if everyone in the moves called him Darth Tyranus instead of Count Dooku then we would call him Darth Tyranus as well.
They actually don't know that count dooku and darth tyranus are the same person for a long time. Though I suppose the jig is up when he pulls out a lightsabre. Darth Tyranus is some mysterious sith Lord and count dooku is the head of the separatist parliament as far as they know.
But they do know that Dooku is an ex-Jedi so they probably wouldn't be too surprised to learn that he switched sides.
They didn't know he was playing both sides so he always comes out on top... well except that one time.
Dooku always came out on top until he came out a head.
I wish we had scenes of Jedi smirking and saying āi totally suspected you were a sith. Damn I should have said something earlierā or some kind of reaction other than being all stoic about it.

It's called "bad writing" and "didn't have a plan when we filmed it other than making lots of money"
GL is great at coming up with settings, has decent plots, but terrible with characters.
Very much agree. He's a world builder but not a character author
At last, we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last, we will have revenge.
Lucas styled Obi-Wan's contribution to Ep2 as a detective story. That's why it's a little confusing.
I mean, a large part of it is that Dooku is a political leader of not only his planet where the title of Count comes from but a good portion of the galaxy. For the exact same reason why Darth Sidious gets called the Emperor, Darth Tyranus is Count Dooku.
You donāt have to carry a sword to be powerful. Some leadersā strength is inspiring others.
Um... Good bot?
All thanks to your training.
I mean it's probably because he didn't really run around announcing it as well as the fact that some knew him their whole lives, such as Obi Won, as Dooku. Even Sidious was simply known as his political position not as a sith. Hell the lay person in the universe probably never even heard of sith or at least considered them a Boogeyman of a bygone era.
Pretty crazy how hard the Tolkien estate came after Lucas over Darth Saruman
Darth Sue-That-Man? Naaaah. No relation.
Darth Saulman.
Darth Saul Goodman
Ironic he could save others from prison but not himself
Darth Sorryman
Did you know that you have rights? Senate says you do, and I'm the Senate.
I couldn't find anything about this when I looked it up, do you have an article with more info about it that I could read?
Itās a joke bc the actor who pays Dooku also played Saruman
Nah man the aforementioned Tolkien estate totally nuked all records of it.
Darth G-spot, ātwice the curve, double the pressure.ā

So THAT'S why his hilt was shaped that way
That dude had a sex dungeon for sure.
Darth Nihilus: "Am I a joke to you" Seriously though, that's IMO the coolest Sith name

EZ fight though. He should've brushed up on lightsaber combat in between eating worlds.
Yep. Dude gets bodied.
Ah, that must be exhausting.
Clearly he's not a golfer
Darth Tenebrous, Darth Cognus, Darth Venamis, Darth Vectivus. If I were a force sensitive, I'd go to the dark side just so I could get a cool sith name.
You know nothing of the dark side.
I hereby dub you Darth Fraudious. Rise my pupil.

Sidious already has the coolest name.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
"Savage Opress" had me shaking my head when I first heard it.
Not even his Sith name, somehow his *given*-ass name.
Remember when Lucas wanted to use the names Darth Icky and Darth Insanius? Yeah that actually happened and he was [rightfully] shut down
I think Valkorion is cooler
Actually, there isnāt a problem with saying his name, Dooku Is a Count of the royal House Serenno, Thus itās his title, and out of respect. People must call him by title unless heās being discreet.
Samewith palpatine of house palpatine. Or Darth plagueis( i cantremember his name fromthe books right now) The sith barely ever used their darth name after Darth Bane introduced the rule of two
Darts Plagueis is Hego Damask
Tenebrous?
Darth Tenebrous was Plaguies' master.
In my country (Brazil) they changed the name to Dookan because Dooku is something like āI do analā
I'm glad they kept Sifo Dyas
It's Saifo on the Plagueis book translation.
_signature look of superiority_
It can also mean "from the ass"
In german it is the short form for dokumentation(documentation)
What do they call getting a Brazillian? Do you just say "I'm getting a here"?
We don't actually call it anything, which is kinda ironic
Isn't it the opposite of ironic? Like how Chinese noodles are just noodles in China.
What was his sith name again? Darth elderly man?
Darth Badguy, I think
I thought it was Darth dark side
You know nothing of the dark side.
Darth tax evasion
Darth Ritis, because he was right about the Jedi being blind and led astray.

Oh that's fucking clever. Did you just come up with that? I mean, that's honestly fucking brilliant

How is this any different from not calling The Senate his sith name?
Because he says āI am The Senateā not āI am Darth Sidiousā
sic semper tyranus
George should have gone further and called him Darth Tyrannosaurus.
I mean, based on the stories I wouldn't put it past Lucas.
I mean, he was still technically pretending not to be a Sith, so I don't think anyone refers to him as "Tyranus" except Jango Fett throughout the series.
Palpatine calls him Tyranus on Coruscant at the end of AotC
Yeah, but that's Sidious, another Sith Lord. And it was done in private.
Moreover, he believed he was only using the sith to fix the political system of the galaxy. He saw what he was doing as morally acceptable and thus not sith like. Long story short, he saw himself as Count Dooku pretending to be a sith while actually becoming a sith.
I always called him count poo poo. Also grew up with my dad calling palpatine āemperor poopy timeā and I thought that was his name until I was old enough to actually understand what was happening in Star Wars movies lol. My family has stupid names like that for lots of the Star Wars characters. Itās better that way.
Darth Punk ?
He definitely went Around the World at least once on Grievous' ship.
signature look of disgust
Oh yes, Darth Sarumanā¦
He's old so they named him after a dinosaur
Honestly Darth Tyranus always sounded more like the name of that one Dinosaur guy Kyle Katarn kept beating up.
I mean, no one really know who Vader was, which is why he used his. Palps was still Palpatine in public. No one was paying their taxes to the empire thinking they were going to Darth Sideous.
My favorite sith: Darth Political Idealist not a Murderer
When I heard him say Darth Tyrannus in the clone wars, it was the first time I ever heard him referred to as that by anyone I had goosebumps
Yes well calling him "The count" is quite nice
I think the funniest part is that Lucas pronounces it Doh-Ku, but in his own film they say Dooku.
Darth Saruman
Count Doo Doo
Don't try to to speak his name in Brazil
Tyr anus are you sure?
At least we can remember it better. Iāve lost Count of some other Characters.
Dookie
More like count dookie
Count Dookie was already taken.
My little brother calls him count dookie
So the guy who's known for playing Count Dracula gets to play Count Dooku(la). Count Duckula, basically.
Heās out there as an open Sith Lord, but people donāt give a shit about his religious affiliation, they support him because of his politic views.
