Thanks for the words of welcome and compliments guys.

I choose to insert Dooku in TPM's final moments because it's subtle, and because, to me, it works two ways: Mace's line and the pan hint at Palpatine being the master, and when Dooku shows up, it both creates some ambiguity (is that old guy the true Sith master? / who is he?) and sets him up as being the new Sith apprentince for the next two movies. Also, as Bingowings mentioned, it creates a bit more of an arc for Dooku, and makes him a stronger character.

ben_danger, I hate to disagree with you, but I don't think having Dooku on the council in TPM would work, because he and Obi-Wan can't meet before AOTC ("It's a shame our paths have never crossed before").

On the topic of Dooku: next to Sidious, he is the only recurring villain in the PT. Maul, Fett and Grievous are all in only one movie. Dooku dies early on in ROTS, butI think we could make his character feel less disposable if we add as much to him as we can. Here are some thoughts I have:

Show him at the end of TPM at Qui-Gon's funeral (like in the images I posted)

Leave in in Ki-Adi Mundi's line of him being a political idealist

In his conversation with Obi-Wan, remove the line "...and together we can destroy the Sith!" and add in the line "The Republic can not be fixed. It is time to start over", taken from his deleted scene with Padme.

Take out all references to him being Yoda's apprentice. I don't think that fits, considering Yoda's comments on Jedi training in ESB.

This way, I think we can give his character a little more depth

What do you guys think?

Though i do like the fact that it would be a nice subtle thing and would be quiet cool few things i gotta say with all due respect:

Show him at the end of TPM at Qui-Gon's funeral (like in the images I posted)

Though this would be good it depends in what context u want dooku to be there. For Dooku to be there he must have a reason. If he was there to see the passing of his old apprentice but watching from afar while feeling mixed emotions. As if he thinkin my old friend and apprentice Qui Gon is dead but its end justify the means? What you gotta remember guys is the Jedi possibly would of sensed Dooku's presence since "the shroud of the darkside" hadn't fallen by then.

Leave in in Ki-Adi Mundi's line of him being a political idealist

This should definately stay otherwise his leadership of the CIS kinda feels downplayed.

In his conversation with Obi-Wan, remove the line "...and together we can destroy the Sith!" and add in the line "The Republic can not be fixed. It is time to start over", taken from his deleted scene with Padme.

I do like the original line alot better basically because at that point in the film we haven't seen Dooku's true self yet. The idea of Dooku tryin to sow the seeds of deception in Obi Wan's mind is better automatically makin Dooku seem like a bad guy straight away.

Take out all references to him being Yoda's apprentice. I don't think that fits, considering Yoda's comments on Jedi training in ESB.

I say leave references in that Dooku had been Yoda's apprentice, just the whole feel of Star Wars bein about Fathers and Sons. Yoda then Dooku then Qui Gon then Obi wan then Anakin. Feels right and to mess with this kinda feels wrong.

Sorry if im bein too negative lol, as i said no disrespect, just my opinion lol

Many Thanx
