Count Dooku, also known as Darth Tyranus, is a major antagonist from the Star Wars series.

“	I have become more powerful than any Jedi. Even you.	„
	~ Dooku, to his old master Yoda.

Background[]

Born to Count Gora and Countess Anya of Serenno, young Dooku was taken into the Jedi Order after he had been abandoned by his family and became the Padawan of Grandmaster Yoda. Once one of the most respected members of the Jedi Order, the death of his former Padawan, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, as well as the corruption he saw in the Republic left him disillusioned with the Order, resulting in his departure and fall to the dark side. He eventually fell under the sway of Darth Sidious, becoming the Dark Lord's second apprentice and an exceedingly dangerous foe of the order he once served. Leading the Confederacy of Independent Systems in the Clone Wars, Dooku planned to overthrow Sidious, but was ultimately betrayed by his master, who arranged his death at the hands of his eventual replacement, Anakin Skywalker, who later fell to the dark side and became Darth Vader.

Powers and Abilities[]

Power of the Force: Despite Dooku's old age, he was extremely powerful and had an extremely strong connection to the Force. Dooku was one of the most powerful Force-users in the history of the galaxy; having arrogantly claimed himself to be more powerful than any individual Jedi of his time. Despite this claim, Dooku's Force powers were not enough to surpass that of Yoda, Darth Sidious, and Anakin Skywalker's respectively at their peaks.
- Telekinesis: Dooku utilized Telekinesis for combative and utilitarian purposes. His abilities allowed him to affect small structures, notably damaging parts of a ceiling to rain down debris on his former mentor, Yoda who caught, and discarded them with ease as well as to collapse an entire cave entrance on Vanquor to trap Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin inside with several Gundarks.
  - Force Push: Dooku utilized Force Push to send his opponents flying through the air, causing them serious injury or temporarily incapacitating them/knocked them unconscious.
  - Force Pull: Dooku utilized Force Pull to pull his opponents or objects towards him.
  - Force Flight: Dooku utilized Force Flight to levitate himself or to slow-down his fall to the ground.
  - Force Choke: Dooku utilized Force Choke to either weaken, kill or intimidate his opponents. His proficiency with the ability allowed him to throttle his targets without looking at them, as he did to Queen Miraj Scintel, who he was still able to fatally injure despite releasing her.
  - Force Grip: Dooku utilized Force Grip to lift his opponents off the ground and into the air, sometimes by the neck, to immobilize them. His abilities also allowed him to influence the movements of people, as he was able to force the pirate Turk Falso to shoot his comrade while simultaneously choking him, while he performed a similar feat when he made Padme Amidala aim at and shoot Bec Lawise.
  - Force Throw: Dooku utilized Force Throw to cause objects, and even individuals, to be hurled toward a target at an astounding velocity.
  - Force Crush: Dooku utilized Force Crush to crush objects or droids. He was able to destroy the base of a small tower in an attempt to have it fall on a defeated Obi-Wan and Anakin, all while simultaneously locking blades with Yoda, to force his former master to end the duel while he escaped on his ship.
- Force Deflection: Dooku utilized Force Deflection to redirect or incoming attacks, such as blaster bolts or Force lightning, with or without his lightsaber, though it was difficult to do so. This allowed him to deflect his own Force lightning that had been redirected back at him by his former mentor, Yoda.
- Mind Trick: Dooku utilized Mind Trick to control the minds of other sentient beings, with the exception of individuals with stronger wills.
- Taming Beasts: Dooku utilized Taming Beasts to control the minds of other animals.
- Force Lightning: Dooku utilized Force Lightning to torture or kill his opponents. He was notable able to levitate and repel targets using his lightning in a similar manner to telekinesis.
- Force Dash: Dooku utilized Force Dash to move at amazing speeds.
- Force Jump: Dooku utilized Force Jump to jump or leap at great distances.

Master Lightsaber Duelist: Despite Dooku's old age, he was an extremely skilled lightsaber duelist, as he was one of the deadliest lightsaber duelists in the history of the galaxy. Dooku was one of the few known individuals who could fight on par against Yoda.
- Form II: Dooku was a master of Makashi; he used it exclusively, and was believed by many to be the most proficient practitioner of the style.
- Dun Möch: Dooku was extremely skilled in Dun Möch.
Genius-Level Intellect/Master Tactician/Leader: Dooku was highly intelligent and wise. As a Sith General, Dooku was a highly skilled tactician and a very capable leader.
