You assume that there can actually BE rogue Jedi, which no where in the cannon has been stated there are any. (Ki-Adi Mundi calls him a political idealist not a murderer but we know what happens next in the original movie), second I said "whatever you wanna call him" because I knew you would nit pick at what I say, let's keep a broad sense here. Anyone who uses the Force for evil reasons yes should be considered evil *as in sith* (if you disagree that's a different argument), evil as in provoque war, taking hostage Obi1 and using the (yes!) sith lightning since Yoda who is just as powerful if not more than Dooku NEVER used it, the only other Force-user to use the lightning is Darth Sidious, a sith. Obi-Wan cuts off the arms in self defense, you can argue Dooku was using it in self defense to, but then why not just spar? after all they are using lightsabers not blasters like Zam and with Dr Evazan we don't know what he was going to pull out, the Bartender yelled "no blasters" but that happens so quick that we don't know, but with Dooku We DO know, they where sparring and Dooku went for the cutting move. One quick burst makes no difference *he just used the Dark side once* c'mon, it's sith lightning, if you don't see it how that is more evil than hurling your enemies then you should understand what sith lightning does, EU you argue? fine, then don't but it does affect more than hurling. More so, if you wanna keep Dooku a "rogue Jedi" (which you can in the end whatever..) why would a Rogue Jedi be in league with Darth Sidious, we know the separatists where with him (Grievous talks to him as Master) and he was with the separatists. To take Doooku out of the sith order as it seems you wanna go it's not just changing his color and leaving out the "sith parts" it's also about behavior.....

.... did you even watch my EP2 edit?


1. There is absolutely NO MENTION of Dooku or the Seperatists being in league with or serving Darth Sidious
in this fanedit: in fact, they are rebelling against the Republic BECAUSE of the threat of Darth Sidious and his gaining power over the Galactic Senate/Senators.


2A. Unless it's specifically called "Sith Lightning" (which it isn't) or specifically stated that that ability is linked to the Dark Side (which it isn't) directly in the films themselves, then I'm going to assume that it's a high-level Force ability.

2B. At one point, Dooku actually refers to it as a "Jedi power" when talking to Obi-Wan.

2C. I don't know, care about, or have any interest in the EU and I have no intention of using any of it in my SW fanedits.
