Count Dooku, also known as Darth Tyranus ( tih-RA-nəs), is a character in the Star Wars franchise. He was introduced in the prequel film trilogy, appearing in Attack of the Clones (2002) and Revenge of the Sith (2005). He is portrayed by Christopher Lee in both films, while Corey Burton provided the character's voice in most of his video game and animated appearances. The animated productions include the television series Clone Wars (2003–2005), The Clone Wars (2008–2014; 2020), and Tales of the Jedi (2022). Lee reprised his role as Dooku in the 2008 animated film, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The character has also appeared in various Star Wars novels and comics. Dooku is the Count of Serenno, his home planet. He is also a former Jedi Master who was trained by Yoda and mentored Qui-Gon Jinn. He becomes disillusioned with the Galactic Senate and the Jedi Order due to the former's corruption and the latter's complicity, and eventually turns to the dark side of the Force. He becomes an apprentice of the Sith Lord Darth Sidious and plays a pivotal role in his master's rise to power. Dooku leads the Confederacy of Independent Systems throughout the Clone Wars, all the while engineering the creation of the Republic's clone army. Although he hopes to eventually overthrow Sidious, Dooku is betrayed by his master and killed by Anakin Skywalker, who would succeed him as Sidious's apprentice, becoming Darth Vader.
