19 BBY: Asajj (age 31) dies late in the Clone Wars at Dooku's hand. Dooku's death follows later that year in Revenge of the Sith. Dooku is 83 at the time of his death.
But no, Dooku is born in 102 BBY and Palpatine in 84 BBY. Weird... It doesn't help that Dooku is more often seen in combat/action and thus he seems more fit than Palpatine(when he isn't spinning like a Beyblade, wielding a lightsaber).
Sidious may have given Dooku the title of Darth Tyranus, but because the Jedi Order knew him as Count Dooku, greatly preferring to not indulge his role as a Sith, they continued to call him by that name.
With a potential Jedi Code-defying love affair with another Jedi, Dooku is more of a foil to his Clone Wars-era enemies, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, with Dooku's lover, Jedi Master Jocasta Nu, possibly retaining feelings for Dooku well after he joined the ranks of the Lost Twenty.
The Life of Count Dooku: Entire Timeline Explained (Star Wars Explained)
Did Count Dooku have kids?
Afterward, the lot of them were forced to kneel in their parents' blood and swear fealty to Lord Vader and the Empire. In time, Dooku bore an heir, Bron Dooku, with his wife, Maite.
While Dooku was certainly evil -- and even had a Darth sobriquet, Tyranus, that he rarely used -- he was never quite a Sith, at least not in the true sense. Unlike those who espoused the Sith doctrine, Dooku wasn't motivated by hatred or fear, but by the same purpose that drove him as a Jedi.
Count Dooku of Serenno, also known by his Sith name Darth Tyranus, or simply as Dooku, is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise, created by George Lucas.
His best friend had been given a gift that could have allowed the Jedi to help countless people, but Yoda refused to act. As a Jedi, Dooku couldn't stand the thought that his best friend was suffering without a purpose, so he hated Yoda and the Jedi Order for that. In the end, though, Yoda was right.
Dooku voluntarily left the light side behind and became Darth Sidious' dark side disciple, taking the secret name Darth Tyranus and leading the Separatist army.
Kylo was born in 5 ABY (After the Battle of Yavin). The battle occurred at the end of Star Wars: A New Hope and marked the destruction of the first Death Star. The Force Awakens was said to have taken place in 34 ABY, making Kylo 29 years old when he made his onscreen Star Wars debut.
Overall, Dooku was far more equipped to become a Sith Master than Maul was. Had he managed to overthrow Palpatine, Dooku would have been able to use his position, combat abilities, and dark side Force powers to take his place on the throne Palpatine had carved.
He fell under the influence of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine of Naboo, and left the Jedi Order. After learning that Palpatine was secretly the Sith Lord Darth Sidious, Dooku turned to the dark side and became a Dark Lord of the Sith himself, replacing Darth Maul as Sidious's second apprentice.
Studying Jedi Archive records, Dooku based his new weapon design after the curved hilts that were standard during the heyday of Form II lightsaber combat. The curve allowed the hilt to fit better into his hand, allowing for superior finesse and precise blade control.
It's not even up for debate that Darth Vader is stronger than Count Dooku. Even before he was at full power, Anakin Skywalker was able to overpower Dooku simply based on his lightsaber training. Had Dooku fought Darth Vader at full power, the fight likely would have been a lot shorter.
So Mace Windu was born around either 86 or 83 BBY making him 54 years old when we meet him in The Phantom Menace and 67 years old when he died in Revenge of the Sith.
Dooku could have not beaten Yoda in Geonosis, meaning that the fight would have ended with Dooku either killed or captured had it continued. At that point, the only two Force-sensitive warriors who could beat Yoda in a fight were Mace Windu and Darth Sidious.
Obi Wan was unable to defeat Count Dooku because the Count was a significantly better lightsaber duelist. Originally Answered: Why couldn't Obi-Wan defeat Count Dooku? Funny really, Obi Wan rarely ever succeeds when he and Anakin are fighting the same enemy at the same time.
'He's too dangerous to be left alive', was the same comment Palpatine said when Anakin showed remorse after having slain an unarmed Dooku, the said action not being the Jedi way.
Sith eyes really only appear in those actively giving themselves up to the dark side. Palpatine is regularly seen without them, and Dooku seems to be a rather composed individual, given his alignment. It seems they're not permanent physical changes.
Qui-Gon was Dooku's apprentice. Dooku loved Qui-Gon like a son due to their many similarities; both were individualists, idealists, and both had knowledge of the Force that was unique.
Anyone below that of Yoda and Mace Windu (in terms of dueling) really don't stand a chance. In Legends, Darth Vader is worse than Qui-Gon in dueling, Maul lost to Sidious and Sidious' style advantage and speed advantage puts him above Dooku. If this is Knightfall Vader, then he is on top though.
Obi-Wan saw Qui-Gon as a brother by the end of his training. Although Qui-Gon never felt close with him, Dooku was quite fond of his former pupil, and Jinn's death on Naboo devastated him.
