Dooku was once a Jedi Master , and successfully trained Qui - Gon Jinn , his first Padawan , in the ways of the Force . Dooku later left the Order , being the twentieth Jedi Master in two thousand years to do so . Shortly after this time , Palpatine revealed to Dooku that he was Darth Sidious , a Dark Lord of the Sith , and convinced Dooku to join him . Dooku , or Darth Tyranus as he was now secretly known as , initiated a project to raise cloned soldiers for the Republic without the Jedi knowing , and then began to form an alliance of corporations , which later became known as the Confederacy of Independent Systems , or Separatists . A galaxy - wide war eventually broke out between the CIS and the Republic , with Dooku as the head of the CIS , and his Master the head of the Republic . The first battle began on Geonosis , where Obi - Wan Kenobi , Anakin Skywalker , and Padmé Amidala were captured . A force of 212 Jedi led by Mace Windu , and later the army of Clone troopers he had began , clashed with thousands of Battle Droid s in the Geonosian Arena . Dooku attempted to escape the battlefield , but was confronted by Kenobi and Skywalker , and the three dueled with their lightsabers . Dooku defeated both the Jedi Knight and the Apprentice , severing half of the latter ' s right arm . As he was about to leave , Grand Master Yoda arrived . The two engaged in both Force and lightsaber duels . Dooku chose to retreat during the lightsaber duel , and made his escape in his Solar Sailer . The Clone Wars raged for three years , in which time Count Dooku spent it aboard his flagship or in the homeworld of Serenno , where he would recieve orders from Sidious to prolong the Clone Wars between the Republic and CIS , and would take on numerous apprentices in the Warring period . Dooku would usually pass on Sidious ' assignments to General Grievous or Asajj Ventress , unless instructed to take care of the matter himself . Dooku ' s role in the Clone Wars was mostly to convert planets to the Separatists ' cause , deploying the Seperatist Senators on a diplomatic mission under his Master ' s orders or Dooku ' s own , or to barter with important figures in the Galaxy to join the Seperatists . With Dooku the esteemed head of the CIS , Palpatine saw this as an opportunity to exploit the Jedi ' s want for the Count ' s capture , especially Skywalker ' s , therefore making Dooku part of a plan the Count wasn ' t known to be involved in . In the final year of the war , aboard Separatist General Grievous ' s flagship the " Invisible Hand , " Dooku once again fought Kenobi and Skywalker , this time in front of his Master , who was his " prisoner " on the ship . Dooku quickly incapacitated Kenobi , however Skywalker , now a Jedi Knight , was able to defeat him , cutting off both his hands in the process . Under the instruction of Palpatine , Anakin killed Dooku by decapitation , continuing Skywalker ' s path into dehumanization and into Darth Vader ' s shadow .
