Count Dooku is a fictional character from the Star Wars franchise, appearing as the primary antagonist in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and a supporting antagonist in Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (portrayed by late Sir Christopher Lee), as well as a recurring antagonist in Star Wars: The Clone Wars (voiced by Corey Burton).
Once a respected Jedi Master, he falls to the dark side of the Force as Darth Sidious's second apprentice under the name Darth Tyranus. As the founder of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, he is the instigator of the Clone Wars.
Introduced in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Darth Tyranus (Count Dooku) appears as the leader of the Confederacy of Independent Systems, a federation of planetary systems rebelling against the Galactic Republic due to his anger against its bureaucracy, as well as the apparent unwillingness of the Jedi Council to aid oppressed galactic systems.
Tyranus recruits bounty hunter Jango Fett to assassinate Padmé Amidala on Coruscant, which fails. When a fight forces Fett to flee from Kamino to Geonosis, the bounty hunter rendezvous with his benefactor. After capturing Obi-Wan Kenobi on Geonosis, Dooku informs Kenobi that he's attempting to save the Republic, explaining that thousands of senators are under the influence of a Sith Lord named Darth Sidious. Dooku also states that he was saddened by the death of Obi-Wan's master, Qui-Gon Jinn, his own former Jedi apprentice. After Obi-Wan refuses to join him, Dooku promptly sentences him to death.
