Editing Count Dooku (section)

====''The Clone Wars'' (2008–2014)====
In the 2008 animated series ''[[Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 TV series)|Star Wars: The Clone Wars]]'', set between ''Attack of the Clones'' and ''Revenge of the Sith'', Dooku is the political leader of the Separatists, and the main antagonist. In addition to sending Grievous and Ventress on missions to antagonize the Republic, he works with the [[terrorist]] group Death Watch to give the Republic a reason to send a military presence to [[Mandalore]], which would play in his favor. The plan falls through when Duchess [[Satine Kryze]] of Mandalore urges the Galactic Senate to hold off a military force.

In the third season, Dooku is forced to eliminate his apprentice Ventress to prove his loyalty to Darth Sidious. Ventress survives, however, and works with [[Mother Talzin]] to kill Dooku by giving him [[Savage Opress]] as a replacement apprentice. During a confrontation between Dooku and Ventress, Savage turns on both. In the fourth season, Dooku defeats Anakin in three separate lightsaber duels despite having some of his plans foiled, and gets his revenge on Ventress by having General Grievous order the systematic [[genocide]] of the Nightsisters. In the fifth season, Dooku plays minor roles via hologram in guiding King Rash of Onderon and Grievous taking over Florrum.

In the sixth season, Dooku finds out the clone trooper Tup executed [[Order 66 (Star Wars)|Order 66]] prematurely due to a malfunction in his inhibitor chip, which he and Sidious had instilled in the Clones from the start in order to compel the Clone Troopers to turn against the Jedi at the right time. Not wanting the Jedi to discover his and Sidious's plans, he works behind the scenes to stop the Republic's investigation. He then manipulates the Banking Clan and its representative Rush Clovis into putting all their resources in the hands of the Sith, bringing war to the planet Scipio. Later, the Jedi find a lightsaber belonging to deceased Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas—whom Dooku betrayed and murdered years earlier—and start an investigation. Sidious forces Dooku to clean up their trail. Dooku confronts Anakin and Obi-Wan on Oba Diah, revealing his alter-ego Darth Tyranus to the Jedi, and they realize that it was he who created the clone army. Some further investigation by Yoda prompts Dooku and Sidious to perform a Sith ritual in an unsuccessful attempt to break the Jedi Master; in a vision experienced by Yoda, Dooku fights Anakin, who swiftly defeats and executes him, in a manner very similar to his eventual demise.

Count Dooku does not directly appear in the seventh season. However, as the events of ''Revenge of the Sith'' are concurrent with [[Siege of Mandalore|the season's final arc]], Ahsoka Tano is informed of his demise at Anakin's hands by Obi-Wan, who tells her that it is important to capture [[Maul (Star Wars)|Maul]], being the only way the Jedi can discover the true identity of Darth Sidious after Dooku's death.
