I still think this "yellow saber is good" idea is bunk. The focus on Dooku isn't "is he good or is he bad." Almost the instant you are introduced to him, you KNOW he's bad. The Yellow Saber isn't throwing anyone off or adding to a nonexistent "mystery" about Dooku's allegiance. Hell, Jango calls him "Tyranus" earlier in the flick. There's really no point in trying to make that situation more ambiguous for the sake of..for the sake of what, I don't know. Turning Dooku into an "Is he or isn't he" character doesn't actually ADD anything to the story. It SOUNDS like it does, but in practice--it doesn't change a thing. At all. The yellow saber cannot be counted on to carry the kind of dramatic weight you guys say it's carrying. it's just a weapon. Changing it from red to yellow is ineffectual at best.
