I really like the idea that Dooku isn't really evil-- he's an idealist who sees the corruption in the Republic, and is trying to do something about it. One question though: would the connection between him and Sideous be removed completely, as in the scene where he meets up with Sideous at the end is gone? I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, it would show that Dooku is playing both sides, which keeps his true motives a bit more ambiguous. However, on the other hand, if he really is an idealist it's possible that he under no circumstances would lower himself to working with a Sith, even if he's going behind Sideous' back. I'm not really sure which way it should go, but also I did like that there was some foreshadowing to the Death Star in Episode 2 (though I do feel like showing its construction in ROTS was unnecessary and chronologically sloppy).

Have you watched JasonN's edits? He completely cut Dooku's relationship with Sidious, including that scene at the end of AOTC.
