Anakin looks really fat. Dooku just looks like a spaz.
Are there anymore? Can you give me the site?

Hey, Count Dooku makes an awesome villian. He was a lot better than Darth Maul (the worst star wars villian). He's not like a spaz, but more of a emotionless but scary and deceptive villian.

i liked Darth Maul, he was a freak. Dooku is strong but not athletic really. Maul would move about, making the fights seem better.

I still think that Maul completely sucked as a villian. He was nothing more than an asassin, but he got all the hype as if he was the second Darth Vader. He had no personality, signifigant role, or anything impressive. Why did all of this attenion revolve around him? because he had a dual lightsaber and he was scary looking, that's it. I think Dooku was more impressive. He was the old, wise, but evil man, that was suprisingly powerful. He had an oversized, special grip lightsaber, and he did look fearsome when he fought.
This is one of the reasons why episode 1 was horrible, it didn't have a main villian. As far as I am cocerned, Nuka Feet (I think that's his name, can't remember it), the Viceroy of the Trade Federation, was the main villian of episode 1.

The main villian in Episode I was Darth Sidious as the title The Phantom Menace suggests. Sidious pulled the strings from the shadows and played the political arena disguised as a mild-mannered senator.
And I do agree Count Dooku was the better apprentice. He was more charismatic compared to Maul who was a straight thug. He had more knowledge of the Dark Side like Force Lightning and Force Avalanche while Maul relied on sheer brutality. Dooku's superiority to Maul is illustrated in both prequels as a Jedi Padawan was able to defeat Maul but Dooku was able to manhandle two Jedi and hold his own against Yoda.

I agree to that. The actual main villian throught the whole star wars movies (I-VI) was actually Palpatine/Sidious. I couldn't agree more that Dooku was proven to be the better villian, in his fights against Anikan and Obi Wan, and he managed to go toe to toe with Yoda (lol, I thought he was going to bite Dooku's ear off).
I also heard Dooku gets a make-over in episode III, is it true?

Yoda was amazing. Who is a better fighter, Yoda or Mace Windu?
i hope we see more Yoda fights in episode 3

I have absolutely no idea. You never know how accurate spoilers to a movie are, but from what I've read Dooku's role in Episode III is very brief.

Darth Maul (the worst star wars villian). I'd agree, if it weren't for the fact that the Trade Federation gimps were sooo much worse. And as Aladdin (kinda) said, Maul's good for one reason: performance. If it wasn't for Ray Park, that role would've been utter tripe with no redeeming features. Thanks to him, though, I still watch Ep1 just for the Duel Of The Fates sequence. Honestly, did you see how he was moving? He even brings across some emotion in the performance. If it wasn't for the script, he'd hack Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan into their constituent atoms. It's just a pity that he was so bloody short. Darth Vader is plainly the worst SW villain. Becuase he's not evil; he's just a big guy in a cool suit with a really intimidating voice who can't control his temper. He's a big ponce, and ROTJ proved that. As for true evil? Grand Moff Tarkin. "You may fire when ready." Ordering the obliteration of a planet in the same tone one would use if commenting on the weather. Brrrr. Plus, Vader was his bitch.

Darth Vader is my favourite character in the whole series. but you may be right about him not being the best baddie, for the plain fact that he wasnt really bad. Vader was also kinda slow as well, which was a downer. if he were faster he would easily be stronger than Sidious.
How does Sidous get his powers in the first place?

Sidious get his powers from the Dark Side of the Force.
And Darth Vader is a badass, and the best villian in Star Wars. Vader was slow because the films were made in the late 70s/early 80s, but he outshined Maul because he used psychology and well as crafty techniques to finish his opponent.
It's just like my trainer teaches before tournaments, if you can beat your opponent psychologically, you've won 60% of the battle. Guys who rely heavily on brute force end up losing in the long run. Maul dying at the hands of a Jedi Apprentice best illustrates this.

You bunch of Star Wars Freaks! IMO Phantom Menace --- totally sucked ass in comparison to the rest of the films, except for Attack of the Clones --- which was the very worst, IMO A New Hope --- Classic. I hated the ending, though the rest of the films explain it. If you only had access to the fourth one, then you'd understand. Empire --- the best in the series Jedi --- Great, the 3rd best in the series. That is my order from best to worst: Empire, Hope, Jedi, Menace, Clones All of the movies are good in there own way. they all tell the long sory of rebelion V . the empire. No movie tops another.

Anakin and Dooku engaged in battle. General Grievous wields one of his lightsabers. Ian and Hayden in costume. Dooku's last words. The Duel.

The Posse confronts Palpatine. Vader wants Obi-Wan's head on a platter.

sorry to back track a little bit but the greatest star wars villian has to be either ysanne isard ( ice heart ), or grand admiral thrawn, the only alien to rise through the emoporers regime as a master tactitian
My opinion of course
Also the best books to read are teh rougue squadron ones wedge is cool but corran horn rocks

Also the best books to read are teh rougue squadron ones wedge is cool but corran horn rocks I'd agree except...well, the Bounty Hunter Wars. A trilogy for Boba Fett? I was marking out all the way through. And I prefer Thrawn to Isard. Mainly because Isard mostly just strutted around Imperial Palace, whilst Thrawn was a front-line man.
