In Star Wars: Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, Christopher Lee suited up as the villainous Count Dooku, who played a pivotal role in Anakin Skywalker’s fall to the dark side. While Dooku was certainly evil — and even had a Darth sobriquet, Tyranus, that he rarely used — he was never quite a Sith, at least not in the true sense. Unlike those who espoused the Sith doctrine, Dooku wasn’t motivated by hatred or fear, but by the same purpose that drove him as a Jedi. Dooku even tried to spare Obi-Wan Kenobi on two occasions and bring him to his cause.Count Dooku abandoned a career as a seasoned Jedi to pursue his own political beliefs. After leaving the Jedi Order, Dooku found his way to the dark side, and Darth Sidious, the future Emperor Palpatine. Convinced he could not realize his big-picture ambitions with the Jedi Order, Count Dooku turned to a haven for troubled minds with large-scale goals: the Sith. Dooku recognized that, on some level, he had simply traded one corrupt council for another. In doing so, he risked never getting out from under the forces that oppress him and the people they “serve.” Dooku was not one for bloodlust. Instead, he attempted to convince Obi-Wan in Attack of the Clones that the Jedi Order was more complicated than he may think: The Jedi are just as much the enemy as Darth Sidious, at least in Dooku’s mind. He was forthcoming, sharing that hundreds of members of the Republic were working for the Sith Lord. But Obi-Wan was resolute in his belief that the Jedi were dedicated to good deeds, with honorable members who were neither corrupt nor greedy. Obi-Wan, thus, turned down Dooku’s offer to destroy the Sith and Jedi together.
