Christopher Lee possible Spoiler...

[Darth McBain]

Typical Spoiler Rules Apply... Scroll Down...



















































According to the Internet Movie Database (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0121765), Christopher Lee's character is named Count Dooku / Darth Tyranus. I don't know if this is old news or not, but it looked pretty cool to me. Of course, as with all spoilers we should question the source, but that's a cool name regardless... There was some other cool info over there as well...

I dunno..."Tyranus" sounds more like a Transformer.:)

Darth Tyranus is a char in EP2. It has been registered by Lucasfilm as a domain name

[General Ceel]

I just read that Dooku means poison, could be revealing something about his character

[Darth Hez]

I hope to god it isn't true. It would suck if the next sith apprentice was even older than palpy.

[Bromine]

Maybe he'll be an alien and look a lot younger...

I know, I'm grasping at straws.:)

IMBD is probably just wrong realize anybody can submit names of characters to them and do not even check to see if they are accuarate. I think Lee plays a jedi, possibly a dark/rouge jedi who disagrees with the council and helps Palpetine take over the republic. I seem him more as a conspirator and while one might think this would destroy the two sith rule it does not because Count Dracco is not a sith but a Jedi.

[Bromine]

Here is a story that I found on theforce.net it might help to set the story straight.

As you've probably heard, the name of Christopher Lee's character will probably be Count Dooku, a name that's had some people scratching their heads. Well, Brom chimes in with this report which may shed some light on why Lucas chose the name:
Just thought I might mention that "Dooku" means "Poison" in Japanese. (Though it's spelled "Doku", but it's pronounced the same). Not sure what this means, but considering Lucas' affinity for for Kurosawa films and eastern culture and philosophy, it makes sense that this would be a character name if nothing else.
Might shed some light on any question of him being a baddie, huh?

There is no mention of him being a sith I just think IMdb was mislead by some bogus poster.
So, what significance does poison have? One of Dooku's weapons maybe, or does it describe his character? People take in poison without realising what it really is, and it slowly destroys them from the inside...maybe the situation with Dooku is similar?

I can buy that. I'll bet it's a reference to his character. He's been described as a separatist already, so it would stand to reason that he's a troublemaker.
