SPECULATION Count Dooku's Sith Name

Well he did come from a noble family from the planet Serenno, I guess the counts were respected back before the clone wars.

 

Back in October last I was visiting another forum website when I saw another user post about it,

 

I guess Yoda being his original master felt he could bring him back to the jedi fold, their duel in Geonosis proved he was gone beyond saving

 

Not trying to treat this as cross bonding with other species but I think when a master takes on a apprentice there is the caring nature of a father figure that developes were others concerns are not as important as the goal of redemption, I thought it was strange of Sidious to choose a older jedi instead of pursuing Anakin sooner, he would not have need Maul as a apprentice had his spies been active on Tatooine.

 

Indeed, I wonder if Kenobi had of awoken early from being knocked out & heard Sidious give the order kill Dooku would duel on Mustafar may have started early on the Iron Fist, just saying.

 

No one knows Vader is Anakin. Tarkin has suspisions but that's it, only Palpatine knows.

 

It's in the Tarkin novel.

 

Wasn't the whole point of Palpatine taking on Dooku as an apprentice to more directly manipulate the creation of the CSI and the road to war?

That being the case, the rest of the galaxy needed to see him as Count Dooku - not a sinister agent of the Sith, but as a respected Jedi who left the Order to stand against the growing corruption of the Republic. To the key players in the CSI, financiers and weapons dealers, his identity as Lord Sidious' second in command was obviously something that they were aware of. But then again, they didn't need to be conned into playing along out of any sense of idealism - they were in it for the money and the power. Same with Jango Fett.

But those who needed to buy into the fiction that the CSI was a reaction to a corrupt Republic, including the Senate and the Jedi, had to see Dooku leading it. Had he led the confederacy as Darth Tyrannus, that would have overplayed Palpatine's hand.

 

The best fact that completely supports your theory is the fact that the galaxy continued to know the Emperor as Palpatine, and not Sidious. They weren't averse to being associated with Sith, but weren't necessarily known as Sith by the public, for basic relations reasons.

 

They probably didn't know he was "Tyrannus."

 

Well Sidious did mention it on Coruscant in TATOC, the jedi maybe were not meant to know being distracted with Maul's presence in TPM.

 

Sidious mentioned it to the Jedi in Attack of the Clones?
