Count Dooku Sith Lords
Star Wars creator George Lucas provides secrets about the Count Dooku Star Wars character from Star Wars 2 ii Episode 2 Two Attack of the Clones

George Lucas speaks about Count Dooku Darth Tyranus from Attack of the Clones

"One of the secret unwritten plot elements from the Star Wars script formula is to feature experienced actors from the classic horror films from the golden age of cinema.

Actor Peter Cushing as Grand Moff Tarkin served this important role in A New Hope. Likewise, Christopher Lee as Count Dooku and Darth Tyranus has this crucial part for Attack of the Clones.

Most Star Wars fans find it impossible to unlock hidden plot elements from the Star Wars story formula because they don't really understand what I'm doing in the Star Wars movies.

Each episode of the Star Wars saga repeats the themes and story points seen in prior film episodes. Basically, I'm making the exact same movie over and over again, but I change the nature of the plot elements enough to make each episode of Star Wars seem original

Dooku was a necessary character because I needed someone who was wise and seasoned to be the leader of the Separatist movement.

Darth Maul was a fearsome Sith, but Maul really didn't have the political and military acumen needed for the Clone Wars. I had to get rid of Maul in The Phantom Menace so that I could have a much older Sith to have a final showdown with Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith.

Once again, I'm repeating a plot element involving a young Jedi facing an ancient Sith apprentice so that Darth Sidious can replace the older Sith with a younger and more powerful Sith apprentice.

Obviously, Darth Vader is this antiquated Sith in Return of the Jedi and Luke Skywalker is the Anakin from the Star Wars prequels." (Source: George Lucas, the unquestioned master of all aspects of Star Wars.)
