OK. Lots of good stuff to reply to.

Thoughts on Grievous/Maul: I think this is a good idea, IF it can be pulled off. If nothing else, it helps to give Episode I a little more meaning, and it reinforces Palpatine's obsession with keeping his apprentices alive in a mehcanical suit. The trick is to come up with some kind of scene in Episode II where Palpatine talks about or shows this. Maybe at the end on Coruscant when Palpatine is talking to Dooku and they are walking off, we can just cobble together some lines where Palpatine says something like "I have promising news of Darth Grievous. The Dark Side of the Force has restored him". Trooperman?

Yep. It seems like the end is the place for it.

If we do this, should we have Dooku remain "Count Dooku" and not be Darth Tyranus? Sort of like he's working for Sidious, but not an "official" apprentice.

That's not so much of an issue for me. I wouldn't really mind it either way.

Is Dooku ever actually called Darth in these movies? As far as I know, the only 2 places he is called Tyranus is by Jango in his apartment and in the Coruscant hanger by Sidious, and neither time was with the title Darth. Otherwise those folks who insist on the 'rule of two' will riot. Not that I'm concerned about any of that. Only concern is Jango's line then about Tyranus. Seems like the kind of thing we ought to tie up and not leave hanging.

We sure have big plans for Trooperman's movie. I wonder if he knows...
