Count Dooku/Tyranus as the dark cloaked figure in Episode 1:
I think you guys (InfoDroid, CC, MTHaslett) should think about this just for minute. For some reason this sounds like it has amazing potential in fleshing out the character of Count Dooku in a way no one could believe. You have plenty of evil dialoug to choose from in the LOTR movies, and several others with christopher lee. Considering you are changing the voice of the nemoidians this could open up an ENTIRELY written scene between the dark lord and the aliens. YOu could have whatever conversation you could concoct(sp?) together. All you would need to do is blacken over the face of the cloak and have him be entirely mysterious, but with the voice of christopher lee. If you tuned his voice down lower, with gargled transmission sound this could be pulled off easily.
Some would say, well that ruins the mystery of who count dooku is in ep.2............well no more than hearing ANY moment with darth sidious and realizing that he sounds like senator palpatine. But like Trooperman said, this would make Dooku far more interesting/important in his role with the sith, it makes Palpatines involvment at the end of Ep.2 as the emperor-like darth sidious more intruiging. I just wanted to see you guys comment on this issue........I think its an extrordinary idea. Just take a gander......
