And read my previous post as to the ACTUAL reason in what DOOKU wants...it's not an interpretation, it's in the movie.

At no point does Dooku sit down and explain to the audience what he is actually attempting to do (to his characters credit).

So we are left to infer.

Going by what he does (largely snitch on his boss to a young and strong Jedi and use their shared history with Qui-Gon as a discussion point) and going by what Vader attempted in the OT (to sway his son into an alliance against his boss so he could be the over all leader of the Empire with his son as second in command) it's a fair bet that Dooku is planning something similar.

As Yoda says,"Lies deceit, creating mistrust are his ways now" and that extends to the boss who just manages to pull the trick first. Palpatine does the same thing to Vader hoping Luke will replace him.

As I said it was my interpretation but yeah I'm sure you can point to some EU book where it says something different but we are the film audience. Not everyone has the time, energy or money to invest in studying every dark corner of an increasingly non-canonical body of lore (some of which is really bad even compared to the PT).

At the end of the day if you want I Claudius in space read Dune it does everything the PT tries to do so much better. It's not a family adventure romp though (which is really what Star Wars should be). In fact going by his much moaned about Dune movie David Lynch would have been a much better choice of director for the PT scripts as they stand than Lucas. At least it would have been confusing in an interesting way.
