We lost Count Dooku
Time

Of all the wonderful films he took part in, the thread title has to mention his worst and least interesting role.
Shame.

I just found out earlier today the Sir Christopher Lee had passed. He and his films have had a very big impact on my life. He was 93, so of course this news isn't totally unexpected, but still... Sad news.

We didn't loose Count Dooku, we lost a wonderful human being.

Someone should make a list of PT elements that Lucas borrowed from the EU. The multi-coloured lightsabers already seems to have been in the EU first, and so does several aliens (Dexter from ATOC is apparently based of an alien from SW Droids) so it seems like it would be quite a long list. 

The double-bladed lightsaber and Aayla Secura would definitely have to go on the list. 

The name "Coruscant" rather famously

 Pretty sure that was in an early Star Wars draft.

 The planet, yes, but not the actual name. That was made by Timothy Zahn (author of the Thrawn trilogy).

 Furthermore, in the original drafts for ROTJ it was referred to by the name Had Abbadon.

 The whole planet is one big city.
