One new Star Wars detail finally makes sense of Count Dooku‘s character arc, explaining all the many inconsistencies and oddities. There’s always been something so compelling about the tragedy of Count Dooku, the fallen Jedi who became a Sith and was ultimately betrayed by Palpatine. Part of the attraction of Dooku undoubtedly lies in the incredible performance by Christopher Lee, who really was perfectly cast. Unfortunately, as enjoyable a character as Dooku may be, I’ve always had so many questions about his arc.
