Dooku is a good man?

The expressions when dealing out punishment to the Jedi on Count Dooku's face could meerly be the fact that they were close-up shots of Christopher Lee actually doing some heavy movements with the lightsaber. Lee is nearly 80 years old, so moving around quickly is tiring for him, and if you look in some of the other quick movement shots Lee filmed, the same expression is evident (removing Anakin's green lightsaber, preparing to kill Obi-Wan).

 

I'm surprised you don't know this but Lee didn't do any of the fight sequences himself. His head was digitally placed on a stunt mans body during all of the action shots. You should watch the DVD special features.

 

The expression on his face has nothing to do with being tired, it is a look of pity or dissapointment. I feel it is dissapointment that he couldn't turn Obi and had to fight him and that Obi's skill didn't meet his expectations.

Actually, I have watched the DVD special features. There is one particular shot, with George Lucas and a film crew standing in front of Christopher Lee, dressed as the Count, filming as he waves around his red lightsaber (it's a pole painted red).

 

Christopher Lee did all the close-up shots, but only ones with simple movements like a downswipe or a parry. The computer-pasting of Lee's face on a stuntman was only for the real intense fighting scenes where you could see the full body shots of the actors.

 

So there.

So there? Isn't that something a child would say, and what's with the attitude?

 

If you have seen them already, why did you say it could be the result of Lee doing heavy movement with the lightsaber when you already know he didn't do any heavy movement.

 

You have just repeated everything I said so what is your point exactly? It's a bit obvious he did all the close up shots and I said he didn't do any of the action sequences. The bit you see with Dooku waving around his red pole is simply getting the positioning right.

Like I said before, I think he's not actually evil. I think he's simply............deranged. Perhaps twisted somehow by Sidious's evil. Darth Tyranus is not a sith, he's a dark jedi.

For an 80 year old, performing an uppercut slice on someone's arm is heavy action. Slicing a lightsaber out of someone's hand is heavy action... need I go on?

 

Count Dooku is not a Dark Jedi, he is a Sith Lord. The title 'Darth' is only given to the pair of Sith Lords, and at the moment they are Darth Sidious and Darth Tyranus... Count Dooku. Dark Jedi include Jerec and Sariss, who were powerful enough to become Sith Lords but didn't, therefore not allowed to take on the title of Darth. If Count Dooku's name is Darth Tyranus, then he is a Sith Lord.

 

Anywho, Count Dooku rules the Star Wars universe, and there is no good left in him whatsoever. He is a Dark Lord of the Sith, and doesn't make sorrowful expressions when dis-arming Jedi.

99% of what Count Dooku 2 has said is true, but the look on Tyranus' face after slicing Anakin's arm off is definitely not one of exhaustion. It's one of sorrow or disappointment. For what reason this is, I don't know. Maybe he could sense Sidious' disappointment in him not killing Obi-Wan or injusring Anakin so badly - Sidious knows Anakin's (potential) power as shown by when he says "I can foresee you becoming the most powerful Jedi of all, even more powerful than Master Yoda", so perhaps he had asked Dooku to try and convert him. OK, so I concede there was no mention of this in the film either between Sidious and Tyranus, or Tyranus and Anakin, but it's still a possibility.

 

Maybe Dooku sensed Sidious' "master plan" and felt bad for being such an instrumental part in it. Mabe he was trying to remember what else he had to do whilst he was out...

 

"Ok, so, shopping, pay gas bill, re-insure the ship, chop Anakin's arm off, escape to Coruscant, talk to the boss for a bit, then round to the missus for a bit of rumpy-pumpy..." LMAO
