Thanks for the feedback guys...and thanks for the link to JasonN's edit, TV's Frink. Very helpful indeed.

I'll see if I can clarify:

At least for now, I'm not going to bother with TPM. I'm not saying I don't like the ideas presented by Bingowings, but I'm not ready to edit anything from TPM. lol Dooku has lost faith in the Jedi but still uses the force to his advantage. Dooku is honest. No more lies or creating mistrust. Instead it should be obvious what he wants. He knows about the Sith being involved but doesn't believe it will do any good to go after them-

...hmmm that sounds stupid. This is where it's getting frustrating. I don't know if I can really achieve this idea. If he actually does want to go after the Sith to destroy them...why doesn't he? Instead he kidnaps Palps. This isn't logical. But IF I simply cut the line about him wanting to destroy the Sith how will Dooku achieve his goals? And what exactly are his goals? Forgive me, Bingowings, if you've communicated Dookus goals already...it's a bit hard for me to wrap my mind around some of these ideas you've presented. :)

Thanks for reading...hopefully I don't sound too much like an idiot! ;)

How about this for an idea.

Make Dooku seem like the rogue Jedi like you've been talking about.... Keep it going, let him play that part.. Give him a traditional saber color. But then use the original ending where he meets Palpatine to tell him the war has begun. Oh wow. He's not really a rogue Jedi at all. He was working for Sidious this whole time. Ep. 2 needed a twist, so why not let that be it for the audience. The audience always knows more than the characters do. But this whole time the audience believes Dooku is actually good.... And then pow, the end hits them... Then you have permission to allow his kidnapping of Palpatine in 3, because at this point you know they are a working together.

I don't know. Just an idea.
