Someone is saying here that because Dooku uses force lightning (it's actual name), he's automatically evil. All he does in the film (fanedit anyway) is to use it to knock down Anakin, he doesn't keep in on him any longer than needed.

 

I don't see how that qualifies as evil. As someone else said, Luke briefly uses force choke in ROTJ, does that make him evil?

 

Also, really now, how can you make it so black and white. Jedi = good, sith = bad? Did you see what Obi-Wan did to Anakin in ROTS? His former friend (and "brother" no less), and he lops off his limbs, and leaves him to burn alive, until he's died of suffocation. That's cold. If he was really a rightous Jedi, he would have finished him off to spare him such a painful death. What was stopping him going down there and quickly cutting off his head to give him a merciful death? It certainly wasn't "he couldn't bare to", he could bare to mutilate him and watch him burn.

 

That's not much of a Jedi, and I don't see anything Dooku does, especially in these fanedits, that's worse than that.

 

I've watched AOTF, and TOTR so far, and the'yre pretty good. i still have some niggles, only a couple in AOTF, jsut a couple of lines or tiny cuts I disagree with, but there's a few scenes in TOTR I think should have been cut, or left in. Some scenes definitely felt "cut up", the dialogue didn't flow (not that any of the AOTC romance scenes flowed though) right, like they stopped and started a lot. I love what you did with Dooku though, he's a more interesting character now that's he's truly not Jedi nor Sith, but grey. I'm looking forward to TBKR, now, though I'm confused as to how the movie's climax will work without the Yoda/Sidious duel (not saying it was  any good, but won't Yoda just sort of vanish, without even trying to stand up to the Emperor?).
